    holy chriast!

     

    surprisingly that's the one needed the least manipulation - just load a game of zero wave, start the game, and then load a state from phantasy star 4. it's easy to reproduce, but it's fucking mental.

     

    sounds a bit like a much better version of huge chrome cylinder box unfolding

    is basically an extended version of the same thing with extra crashes :emotawesomepm9:

    holy crap wait til you hear this barney's hide and seek vs new zealand story vs zero wing... someone phone raster-noton, is all i can say.

    (i figured out that under certain conditions you can overlay save states and retain elements of the prior one).

    i am basically waiting for it to stop now. but i actually don't think it's going to.

     

    post it! phone watmm before raster-noton (they already have plenty of cool shit)

     

    four raw wavs on the way :emotawesomepm9:

    this is really fucking interesting

    because things didn't have paged memory back then, because the operating system wasn't multitasking or didn't have a strictly defined API - because it didn't have to! - what you are hearing here is, i think, the audio engine of the game thrashing through a mixed bag of code and samples. every time you hear a repetitive thing, that's a loop. everytime you hear static, that's a decision or a quick probe through an array or something like that. and when it hits sample memory or graphics memory you hear other things.

     

    now that being said i have no way of explaining some of the noises in this... it's phantasy star 4 with a zero wing (of ALL YOUR BASE fame) savestate loaded

    these glitched out mp3s are great! better than oversteps. :trashbear:

    these have more interesting synth sounds & they're also not buried under tons of reverb so you can actually hear them.

     

    some of these sounds remind me of a nord modular g1.

    sorry if this has already been mentioned but obviously all of us should go to their shows with a stack of 30-40 hanes white t-shirts with a big circular hand done black paint circle on the front sell them for $30 a pop

     

    easiest bootleg t-shirt ever

    next to my canada t shirt with "boards of" written above.

    and my paramore t-shirt with "para" crossed out and "faith no" written above.

     

    i recorded the webcast on hootie and the blowfish albums

    it's cheaper than blank tape

    there was an original ruben and the jets and an original we're only in it for the money for sale in the same batch for 30 bucks apiece. jesus, that must have been one pissed-off hippie.

    his specific interest in the late 60s van vliet/mothers/zappa axis is kinda interesting in itself.

     

    next wednesday, i'm a little over five grand richer.

    i think i'll buy it.

    i found this review:

    After being a little late organising our weekend visit to Dartmouth I struggled to find availability. When I called Oversteps House however they had availability. The lady we spoke to when we booked said she was a friend taking bookings in the owners absence. I said that we had a 10 month baby and asked if they could accommodate him, to which I was told that the owners had a similar aged baby so he would be welcome.

    We were looking forward to our well deserved weekend break. The property was quite difficult to find as we didn't realise it was attached to the local cattery. Luckily I only have a mild cat allergy or that would have been a real problem.

    On arriving we were struck by the lovely location. Oversteps House is in a beautiful spot. An old Edwardian (?) house on the side of a small grassy valley. Footed by a large pond with many web-footed residents.

    I'm a fan of small and friendly so I was glad to be greeted by the young Gentleman owner as we arrived. His wife however made it completely clear that she was not so happy to see us.

    Nevertheless we were shown to our room which was basic but clean, and had thoughtful additions like home baked biscuits and interesting reading material.

    We had a nice chat with the Gentleman as we headed out in the evening. Our son had a play with their daughter.

    We went out for the evening, and on our return said a quick hello as we headed up to bed. Our room was on their landing next to their and their daughter's room.

    Breakfast the following morning was full English and was lovely. The owners were very attentive in serving us and our son. After breakfast we packed to go and went to pay. We were told cash only. Being well into the 21st century we never really have cash on us. I had to leave my partner and baby sat with our bags in the hallway as I drove to the village shop to draw out some cash. After paying we received no receipt/bill etc. As we were leaving I asked if they had availability in a couple of weeks time as we would be returning to Dartmouth. She abruptly told us that she wasn't happy with her friend for telling us that babies were welcome as they weren't. I was a bit taken back by this, but seeing that she was heavily pregnant said that I understood that she may have concerns about catching childhood diseases during pregnancy. She said clearly that wasn't why - it was because she didn't want her other guests disturbed. We were very confused by this as our son is such a quiet baby and hadn't made so much as a peep the whole time. Despite the fact that their baby had woken us all up at 6.30am that morning.

    We must say we felt dreadful having been told ever so tactlessly that we wouldn't be welcome again. It tarnished our weekend away.

    I would have happily have recommended this place to friends and family, and as we regularly visit Dartmouth and would have liked to stay again. However, the lady proprietor's attitude to her clientele quite honestly left a lot to be desired.

    finally got my 320s, FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU

    oh god being able to hear all that background stuff that's going on is so good. how infuriating hearing but *not hearing* was. with the robofades removed, i have to agree with $POSTER in $THREAD who said there was a weird feeling of a huge, almost narrative undercurrent to this album. the VBR is like viewing a heavily compressed and horribly blocky JPEG, this is like viewing an uncompressed bitmap. in a very literal way i guess. anyway it's raping my earholes in the best possible way.
