back then I was pretty new to the game and had come from a guitar playing and DJ background. So one night I start working on a groove and it just straight away starts jelling very nicely. I had made a mistake while programming the bass sound on the XP50 and adjusted the wrong parameter, but it was a happy mistake! Sounded great and beyond my abilities as a programmer at the time. I then layered up the original bass sound I was looking for under that and was very pleased indeed.
I then proceeded to sample a few bits from my record collection and found a few cool hits and Vox phrases..."aaahhh its all coming together great!"
Earlier that day I had bought a couple rice-paper lamps from Ikea and thought that I would put one together while playing my track so I could get more ideas for it. When I put the lamp together I obviously connected the wires wrong so when I plugged it in....BOOOF!!! The thing went up in flames in my hands and broke the electrical circuit in my apartment. I ran to the sink in the darkness and put out the fire and cursed in pain.....
........then I realized I hadnt saved my work yet....
