Skinny Boy continues with his tale of mONKEYs fOREHEAd’s first, and would appear only, purchase of musical hardware.

‘At the time he had an Amiga and on the way home we talked of using the pitch wheel, that’s the cool on the edge guys we are. Anyway when we got it back it had no power supply. So we went back out to get some battery’s, powered it up and not only did the pitch wheel not work but you could only play on about quarter of the keys. And a few days later Bertie found the bloody power supply at the bottom of the box.’ At last one of mONKEYs fOREHEAd is starting to talk more. With this I thought I would push my luck and continue the flow of conversation. ‘Where is the keyboard now?’ I ask inquisitively.

‘On top of me wardrobe, it’s been there for ages now’. So what do they use to make music now?

I ask him ‘so what do you use to make music now?’  Skinny boy who is now sat yawning answers ‘now we use samples and crack, err software. It’s a hell of a lot easier’ he gets up and moves over to his computer and powers up. ‘I’ll show you’. Wow I thought, wow. Just like that Skinny Boy is going to produce a single as I sit watching.
