Yes, well as I think you've guessed, it is for those lo-fi reasons. In fact, the sound I want to achieve is - well I'm not sure how to describe it really. I want it to sound hissy and scratchy. Itchy and scratchy, even. I hope to release it on vinyl. I remember hearing Stefan Betke (of Pole) talking years ago about his early records ("1", "2", "3" and "4"), they're full of pops and hiccups, he was saying that if you buy the vinyl versions of those records they'd mature over time, like a fine wine as the vinyl gets more and more worn. I thought that was great. I know he used laptops and everything to bring that about, but I like the constraints of just having four tracks to work with, and old equipment. I think it'll mean I have to use my imagination more, because I'll be constrained in that way. It's mainly going to be instrumental - just keyboards, acoustic guitar and bass. no drums on this one, at least I don't think so. But, as I've said, I'm at stage one at the moment.
