The Church was at first a workshop in which people could attend and build their very own Serge Modulars --right in ROBOTSPEAk!

Last time around it was over the top=Neanderthals from space ripping out sick bass lines and leads on Analog Synths, coupled with vocoded vocals and Live drums--all sounding perfectly mixed in the RS sound bunker. And SD&T as always, uses his hair to embellish his...
