  Several electronic music groups do the same thing. For an example that is
available on record, try Depeche Mode: _Love In Itself_ and the "acoustic"
mix, available on the back of some 12". The second version uses only voice,
guitar, piano and a *very* simple drum machine, while the former presents the
tune using full impact syntesizer usage.
  As information should be said that Depeche Mode composes all their music 
using acoustic guitar, and then transforms it onto syntesizers.

  Oh, for the references to be correct, the acoustic version is called _Love
In Itself 4_.
