So I've scoured the internet for articles referring to the actual gear they use but to no avail! They seem as cagey about revealing what equipment they use as Robin Guthrie used to be.

I'm sure they use lots of analogue synths, but which ones?

In the early days of head nodding they seemed to be merely pushing the presets on their keyboards and having mighty conversations between themselves.

a power of blow and probably some mushrooms too.

Shoot! Ignore that, wrong band. I was thinking of Autechre. Pass me a clean knife.

The same as Freescha's.
