    It's got guts, but just failed to capture the book imo.

    It’s good enough imo

    but tbh I don’t give a shit about the book; when i want to read a book I just read it!

    and i prefer the lynch’s version to the book (which I read in high school so it was a long time ago, should read it again probably)

    I don't agree. I do like the 84 version, but the Denis' are far superior in every way. No disrespect to Dune '84.

    Depends what you value the most, the only thing I like more in the new version is the industrial design

    in lynch’s version to me many things are better: paul is simply flawless, leto is great, jessica, gurney, chani, stilgar, irulan, the emperor, the spacing guild, the navigators, music, overall portrait spirituality and philosophy, alia, relationships between the lead characters is much deeper and warmer and more meaningful (not this “maa booy” superficial shit) - you can feel the love and respect - especially between paul and chani … i could go on and on

  3. No matter how good these new dunanies are, lynch’s dune is still a better movie to me! New ones are simply lacking not just in heart plugs but heart in general!

    yes, the ring modulator is great on the ob-6, the stereo analog distortion even more. Beside those two, i usually use phasers (3 kinds) and a bbd delay; all very useful 

    re: p5

    it’s a beautiful beast that im planning to buy in the near future. 
    thats the thing with high quality analog synths, they’re simply always useful and rewarding, especially dave smith designs (tbh, i was never into moog or any other analog synths); sequential synths are flawless imo 🙂

    I have always gassed for an OB-6 desktop. I have the P5 desktop reissue and love it, but the OB-6 has a different filter and more options for modulating things at audio rate and getting weird sounds. Curious if you still use the OB-6 a lot and discover new things/sounds with it when using?

    And I always wanted the p5 (actually, p10 keyboard 🙂 )!!! I much prefer the keyboard version tho; it has a fantastic interface, couldn’t possibly be better imo

    yes, i still use my ob-6 all the time; i rarely ever record anything, id just turn  it on and play with it for hours, just to relieve the accumulated stress and i haven’t found a musical instrument better for that; except maybe Soma Lyra 8 and some of my semi-custom-made noise boxes 🙂

    and yes, funny enough but i discover new things all the time 

    Nothing fancy but if you’d like to hear it in action, check out the last two tracks from this album: (first track has much more of the onboard distortion and the second one is soaked in reverb but played completely live)

    hidden right there in plain sight....

    jkjk i'm using the Squarp Hapax most of the time right now (still dabbling with Ableton as sequencer sometimes too) which is all out of shot. the whole studio's in a general state of messiness as i'm trying to get things re-ordered but i really liked this little section when i figured out these 4 lined up like that.

    i may end up using the Evolver & arp on the Pulse 2 as sub-sequencers at times like i've done in the past, those two are some of the oldest companions of mine.

    Uuu nice! I’ve thought of getting a hapax too but atm i have two elektron boxes, with another two coming in soon so, I’ll wait a bit… shall see 

    I always wanted an evolver or similar machine but eventually I bought an OB-6 keyboard that satisfied all my dave smith cravings

    The ultraterrestial hypothesis is a very old hypothesis! For example, it’s a known thing to muslims since the beginning of islam that those beings exist as a conscious, free willed, shapeshifting and usually invisible to us and the special subspecies of those beings are what people usually refer to as the devils, which in christianity are usually believed to be fallen angels. Maybe that’s one of the reasons muslims don’t react to ufos like others do and im sure the sightings exist everywhere but tbh I can’t remember ever seeing a ufo video from predominantly muslim countries taken seriously. Muslim would say for those ufos are the devils that are just playing with us, usually non muslims, that believe they could be from other parts of the universe, nothing else. The rationale is that devils want us to believe extraterrestrials are our engineers and gods, not the god. Ppl have  been encountering some funny supernatural beings since the dawn of times; in modern times usually the secret societies are the most organized ones that carry the knowledge how to contact with them - and that’s the belief!

    Gender stereotypes are problematic as they can reinforce biases and social inequalities. Assuming all individuals of a gender have unified preferences contributes to these stereotypes and overlooks the rich diversity of personal tastes and individuality. It's essential to recognize and treat people as unique individuals rather than categorizing them based on gender.

     

    lol wokeism hits ai too?! Like chatgpt knows so much but has never heard of a normal/gaussian distribution and cross-sectional analysis?

    they prefer smart, confident, witty, friendly, down-to-earth, genuinely positive gay men, over insecure, juvenile, smug, self-assured, slightly depressed straight men, who can't figure out a way to get their mental shit together.

    science says you just have to be tall and wealthy 

    all other considerations secondary... crew expendable
