  1. and most of the gear used on the track didn't exist in 1985
  2. i'm sure he could sell something other than live tracks (like remastered sc trax or mfm?)
  3. i can see modal 10 also, it's also a saw2 track
  4. Well, things get shifted, delayed, etc. Big gears turn slowly! LOL, such a specific date - we'll see, but I suspect we'll see MFM in some form or another in 2016. yeah, that date is a saturday so it's not for real
  5. iirc there weren't any computers involved with mfm always got the impression that's why mfm (and ab5) never got released. at that time they probably seemed a bit old hat once the PC got involved and HAB was released. I think you might be right - MFM/ABB5 were probably the last of the pure hardware stuff he worked on before HAB/RDJA... he was using computers (atari) to sequence the tracks since the very early 90s, and was doing some basic digital editing of trax by i care... so computers would still be involved in mfm. rdj album used the computer a bit more, but still had hardware synths/samplers. druqks was the first real computer album where the trax were all made in trackers in the computer.
  6. glad to hear it doesn't seem to be a botch job like the previous coil remasters.
  7. betamax...in the early 80s there was a sony system which allowed you to record stereo digital audio to the tapes, and they were used for final masters in studios. timecode on the tapes would allow for digital "stems" to be put on different tapes and combined/edited in a studio later. this would be their earliest stuff...scatology etc would love to hear that if it exists for sure.
  8. the cds are compilations of single/ep tracks and unreleased demos and tracks. they are supposedly remastered from original dats, digital video tapes, and cassettes. a lot of the original sources for the artwork were apparently lost. here's a link to the tracklistings: http://www.discogs.com/label/910477-Threshold-Archives and cover art: http://thresholdarchives.tumblr.com/post/129947499507 it does seem like these are cd-only which is lame, zero reason to buy physical if there isn't even special packaging/booklets/etc
  9. you should read philip k dick's "time out of joint" if you haven't yet.
  10. john's ex-partner died this year as well. tps is def. selling off a lot of personal possessions of theirs, but wouldn't have any right to authorize a release he wasn't involved in. agree that hyde/mcdowell are prob not authorizing these releases - just straight up bootleg imo.
  11. i would bet it's 100% unofficial - just a nice-looking bootleg. prob just recorded the cd to cassette - a bit pointless as anyone with a tape deck can do the same. i suppose drew mcdowall could have authorized this or be getting royalties from it as the only surviving member but i really doubt it.
  12. some of them, yes, especially the vocals. but the drums, piano, and some other bits are too long. also he listed multichannel audio recording interfaces on the gear list for those tracks, and no hardware sequencer. too long? what's the sample length of a hardware sampler these days, I can't imagine that would be problem. also, it's not possible to tell just from listening what length the samples are. He never denied using multi-channel recording, just computer edits. yeah i suppose he might have 15 mins of sampling time in a maxed out asr10, but would be hard to keep a several-minute piano or robot drum track in perfect time. anyway, for the live performances (vocals and zither) he would have had to record them into the computer to keep them in sync with the music. i suppose he could have sampled these bits out of the computer into a sampler but seems a bit pointless if it's already in sync and ready to go. i imagine face culler is right that he was referring to the most recent tracks with the "all live" comment, these first couple tunes are older and not fresh in memory.
  13. some of them, yes, especially the vocals. but the drums, piano, and some other bits are too long. also he listed multichannel audio recording interfaces on the gear list for those tracks, and no hardware sequencer.
  14. xmas evet10 or minipops as a 'live' track doesn't seem believable to me, but all the others do. yeah both of those would have to be at least partially multitracked into the computer - acoustic instruments on xmas eve (robot drums, zither, udu) vocals on both songs, disklavier on both songs. synths might have been live along with multitracked elements tho,
  15. This was reveal by Jasondonvervan that really got me into his music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iu90lpTh814 Also, as a vaporwave fan his eccojams release is a classic. the orchestra sample at the top of the PE track is a stock sample from either emulator or fairlight catalog iirc. it's in a few other songs also. don't think opn is using the exact sample but could be he stretched it and put some verb on it.
