There's a certain sound that he uses over and over again in his songs. It of course varies, but usually has many of the same characteristics. Basically every song on the Richard D. James album has it somewhere, espeically Fingerbib and 4. I can't explain what it sounds like, only that it's very pure and simple, most likely using a sine wave. If anyone could explain how to create a similar sound it would be very helpful.

You are wrong He uses primarily analog gear. For example, the series of 12 inchers last year.... all analog gear.
