    Seems like he should just offer one of those Bandcamp subscription deals.
  2. kuniklo
    Sure. Why not?

    I have no idea what that sample is meant to refer to but it's great.

    Gamble is consistently good. Mnestic Pressure is one of my favorite electronic records by anybody.
  5. kuniklo
    That's great. Something to look forward to.

    Coming back to this again after not listening for a while. A bit harsh but great stuff.

    This works great on shuffle. It's like tuning into some weird late night radio station.

    I really like Reason and I think they've been hitting the sweet spot between flexibility and ease of use better than any other DAW lately. All the algo stuff they've added via the players is really fun and useful and their built-in instruments are actually really good and don't require all the menu diving that other apps do. Europa in particular is a really powerful little synth. Performance could be better though.

    I've been a huge fan of Aleksi's work and he's put out a lot of great tracks in the last few years. But this series broke me. I've been a completist up to now but I think from this point on I'm going to be a lot more selective and that's just a very different kind of relationship to have with an artist.

    If you pull apart some of the more complex in a synth like FM8 you'll often see that there are distinct, independent groups of operators acting like a single oscillator in a subtractive synth. So it's a bit less mysterious than it seems at first. And with most modern FM synths offering complex waveforms and not only sine waves you often can do a lot with 4 or fewer operators.

    I was listening to this all day yesterday. Very interesting. Kind of all over the place but in a good way. Reminds me of Jon Hassell at times.

    And now 5A. Surely he’s taking the piss at this point. I’m sorry but the rate he’s dumping out new material now just kills my enthusiasm for his work in general.

    I'm into this. Some of the CPU stuff is a bit too vanilla techno/electro for me but this has some original flavor.

    I'm liking this better than I've liked a MOM album in a long time. Not sure if I'll want to come back to it but I don't hate it.

    I haven't had a chance to play with one yet but looks fun. I regret selling my Monomachine a bit.
  16. kuniklo
    I like a lot of the current Elektron gear but it still feels to me like nothing quite replaces the Monomachine. A wavetable synth in their boombox form factor would be wicked. Throw in some percussive one-shots and you could easily write full tracks on it.

    Pretty mental. Think Lorenzo Senni attacking bass music.

    Tetsu Inoue's "Inland" album is a masterpiece of FM synthesis. Recommended if you can find a copy.

    Digitone is awesome. They did a great job massively simplifying FM while still keeping a lot of the versality that makes FM appealing in the first place.
  20. kuniklo
    Yeah I like this one too.
  21. kuniklo
    Yeah I'm just guessing at what their methods are but the sounds are harsh to my ears. SIGN is sweeter and more melodic though which is why I'm liking it a lot. I'm hoping there's more to come in that vein.
  22. kuniklo
    Care to elaborate?

    I'm ok with noisy music. I was more of an industrial fan before getting into IDM in the 90s. The problem I have with a lot of Ae's more recent work is that it's harsh digital noise. It sounds like high mod FM that's been allowed to alias all over the place. I'm sure it's deliberate but I find it unpleasant to listen to.
  24. kuniklo
    This thread motivated me to go back and listen to Oversteps again. Like a lot of Ae records I'm enjoying it much more in hindsight. I think I just really hate the 3rd track but the rest of it is right up there with their best work.
  25. kuniklo
    EP7 is definitely one of their best and a big jump forward in their style when it came out. It kind of set the stage for a lot of what followed.
