This is the live rig built by noisy techno producer 8 Cylinder (sample track titles: 'There's no pussy in web hosting', 'If Nobody Releases This On Vinyl Then The Terrorists Win' and my personal favourite: 'Maintaining Amateur Status So I Can Compete in the Breakcore Olympics'.) He turns up, plugs in the white power lead, and he's ready to go: "The bottom drawer contains a working computer with a VIA EPIA V motherboard & cpu, memory, hard drive, cd rom drive, fans, power supply, and cables. The middle drawer contains a usb audio interface, roll-up keyboard, mouse, and a Gameboy running Sludgeon2. The top contains a midi controller, power cables, surge protector, and a crappy lcd screen mounted to the bottom of the lid."More details - and be sure to check out his Gameboy software.

Gosh. How convenient this would be to nick. OK. So it's actually a pretty good idea. Pity my toolbox only contains a hammer, screws, and the little keys that IKEA gives you with every piece of fibreboard.
I even dream that he can combine the Sludgeon2 , Shittrack and so on .. to make a great portable GB studio suitable both for performance and arranging!
first off, I'm with Ortho - Tom, hope you and yours are all okay.
back to the 8Cylinder - if you go to the page, make sure you scroll down to the bottom, to the vari-speed tape playback crank; brilliant! I can't wait to mod one of my school-surplus tape decks to "handle" one (bad pun! bad!)
