I was geeking out today trying to figure out what drum machine they used on Treasure and couldn’t place it. Turned out it was an E-mu Drumulator. Sounded great.
I love that they never got a regular drummer, much like Sisters of Mercy, and were all in on drum machines. A band after my own heart.

Bruce Foxton being his awesome self and Weller’s amazing lyrics
There was a whole revival phase in that time, like:
