  1. Dreadbox synths are great, I got the Typhon first, then Nymphes, then Erebus and Hades reissues, and now I also have Erebus v3, Nyx v2, and OG Hades. Nyx v2 and Erebus v3 are the best. Nymphes is the only poly (although Nyx v2 and the Erebuses are duo/para), but I've been lusting after a second-hand Abyss - there's been some talk of a new Abyss version with eight-voice polyphony, but I wouldn't count on it. I wish I could get a pre-built Dysmetria, it's a bit too challenging as a DIY for me.
  2. We Are The Music Makers | Volume One by Various Highly recommended.
  3. We Are The Music Makers | Volume One by Various Darren Nye's next album is vying for a place in the UK-Detroit continuum, and sounds absolutely fabulous. Highly recommended, RIYL As One, Stasis, B12.
  4. I also got my Dreadbox Nyx v2 finally updated, which wasn't as easy as I thought, because I had an early unit (serial number under 170) without a working bootloader; I had to get an ST-Link microcontroller programmer, erase the chip and install the bootloader, and only then I got to the point where I could do the actual firmware upgrade. That was exciting, but in the end, easier than I thought; I never thought I'd had to do things like that to desktop synths, although I'm aware that some eurorack modules, especially DIY ones, do things that way.
  5. I finally realized what makes Edge's internal sequencer sound like it does - there's a legato in all the notes. I now can get arbitrary-length patterns (polymeter yay) and have it sound like it does with the internal sequencer, but with MIDI. Joy.
  6. We Are The Music Makers | Volume One by Various RTR's debut on Unknown to the Unknown, four tracks, one preview of detuned Aphexy madness. Recommended.
  7. We Are The Music Makers | Volume One by Various Fresh vinyl pressing of a two-track taster from Princess P.'s upcoming V/A compilation; the first track is Atypic's Otaku (from Black Dog Productions E.P. on Rising High), the second Anaconda's Ideas For Virtual Reality. Judging by the taster tracks the compilation could be very interesting indeed - and it's also mentioned that the compilation liner notes will be from Kirk Degiorgio. Taster recommended, compilation out next year.
  8. I've tried CYE many times, but it's always been a hard no for me. It's not as irritating as Seinfeld, though, that's something I've never been able to watch at all.
  9. Withhold 020 double vinyl compilation, preorder. No previews as of yet.
  10. Here's a review from the main Finnish newspaper (Google translated from Finnish), five stars.
  11. We Are The Music Makers | Volume One by Various Glitchy, noisy, spasmodic, percussive IDM that'll make your brain hurt. Recommended.
  12. We Are The Music Makers | Volume One by Various I've always had a soft spot for Tejada's brand of deep and tech house, this is a nice new album. Recommended.
  13. We Are The Music Makers | Volume One by Various You know what to do. Highly recommended.
  14. Vinyl available for pre-order, but I would hazard a guess that you'll get the download immediately.
  15. We Are The Music Makers | Volume One by Various Available for pre-order.

  17. It's going to be on BioVinyl, I'm not sure I trust the material yet as there's still very little of it. It's also going to come without the legendary 12" blotter sheet of the original (I have all three - vinyl, CD, and the Arkives book page).
  18. A new Global Goon album forthcoming on CPU. Highly recommended.
  19. We Are The Music Makers | Volume One by Various Volume 2, almost completing the set. There are still some missing tracks from here and there, so no completion unless there's more (I'm comparing to the vinyl editions the tracks are taken from).
