Yeah that's exactly what I'm thinking and it doesn't make sense like a rock band setup. "Maaan you should hear Max! He's a wicked 303 bass player!" "Ooh great! He should totally meet this TR-909 drummer I know, he programs some killer 4/4 beats. With some mean snare rolls to boot!"
But then again who knows, considering many of the goa acts of the first gen were previously in synth, metal, punk bands etc.
This makes me think of the sleeve notes on UX - Ultimate Experince regarding their live setup at the time, which I think is somewhat similar these days perhaps?
"All tracks written, produced & aurally sculptured at the U.X particle accelerator.
UX live are:
Kris Kylven: electronic drums
RX Heaven: keyboards & midi guitar
Pete Martin: keyboards & samplers
[editor's note: these are not the credits for the album, this live line-up has varied throughout the years]"
