Review Highlights
“...this CD is a must for anyone creating techno-pop tunes - or for anyone creating anything vaguely electronic-sounding with a sampler. Ambient-dance acts will love the filtered sections, rave and acid fans will love the blippy loops, Industrial bands will want the heavy kicks and sub-basses, Kraftwerk eyro-artists will use the thips, pings and electronic percussion noises, new age nuts will layer the sweeps with their guitars...Lucky Bastard is one hell of a useful CD. 9/10" - Future Music
"Five Stars in every category." - Keyboard, USA
"would certainly make a worthwhile addition to many peoples sample library. 8/10." - SoundUser
"this CD could fullfil most analogue dreams, be they industrial, ambient, techno or just clouded, gibbering fantasies" - Music Technology
Credits Founder member of Depeche Mode, Yazoo, The Assembly, and Erasure, plus remixes for artists such as Sparks and Alison Moyet. Widely acknowledged as amongst the world's leading synthesists and songwriters.
