Electroma | 2006
The (at the time) final album of American jazz rock Steely Dan, Gaucho, was released Nov 21, 1980. The album was notable for many things, among them Wendel, the earliest known drum machine (pictured above.) Wendel featured prominently on the hit lead single "Hey Nineteen", which continues to receive radio play in the USA. The unit was built by engineer Roger Nichols at a cost of roughly $80K USD ($251.2K, adjusted for inflation) and its sounds were hand-picked from hours of tape reels of drummer Jeff Porcaro's playing.
