  1. by the way this is just wow

    But on things like the korg ps3200 and cs80 you can do near instant pgm chnges, and so u can make them like wavetable synths, cs80 looks especially awesome when you sweep all the presets back & fwd knight rider style while playing all the sounds consecutively.
    Trouble is when you go to a diff pgm sound, u usually want to eq that differently, so in more recent traks after syro where ive used a lot of pgm changes ive bothered to route the output into an audio matrix switcher so when i switch programs the sequencer will simultaneously route the audio to another eq!

    crazy motherfucker hahaha

    quite the process

  2. Syro is the definition of fat synths.

    The use of Analogue Hardware def has to do with it.

    Analogue is not better than digital in itself but it sounds different and has its own tone which imo is fatter especially the bass synths and it's why people still use them and still pay fortunes for things like a CS80 or a Prophet 5.

    It may not be better than Serum or Absynth 5 or whatever in ITSELF ,BUT it has its own sound that you cant get any other way and that VST certainly can't do as well.

    Some other non analogue hardware synths and hybrid gear and sampler or mixers, compressors, FX units etc also have unique sounds. ( things like PPG, Fairlight samplers, digital synths with an analogue filter)

    Basically you pay for one particular synth or piece of gear uniqueness.When they are rare you pay a lot. (GX-1 im looking at you!)

    You absolutely don't need any of this gear to make good music but you need a CS80 to have the real CS80 sound, a real Prophet 5 to have the real Prophet 5 sound and a real Fairlight sampler to have the real Fairlight sound.And if you have the money and a gear fetish well there it is.And RDJ obviously has that tone fetish cause he seems to have one of the biggest synth collection on the planet.

    RDJ doesn't just use hardware synths for no reason.He wouldn't get this exact sound without this gear.

    The synths on Syro are fatter in timbre and tone than the things made on PC only.

    It's a hardware synthesizer fetish album basically.

    IMHO

    Personally it musically arouses me greatly.

  3. Discovered this amazing recording of Albert Ayler, recorded just before his death.It is astonishingly beautiful and expressive.

    Transcendent playing.It's like he's possessed by music.

    One of my favorite album not only in jazz but in all genres of music.

  4. I think originality is ALWAYS a plus and something to strive for, but there is a gradation of originality and nothing is born out of a void.

    And i don't personally judge anything by originality alone.

    It is one of the many things to look for in music.

    Traditional music for example does'nt reinvent the wheel but can be excellent in many ways.

    Sometimes some braindance ain't the most original thing ever made, (and the same for ambient, glitch, idm, classical, etc any genre) but it's still really good and as a braindance fan i like to have a bunch to choose from.

    lol what

    this is WATMM lol

    not the first and not the last thing to be shitted on in here, it's part of the releasing game

    50% will like , 50% will not

    AF is a great label with great releases.

    Speaking for myself i dont hate this release, like some of it but the ''unknown'' thing is just something i don't get at all.

    I think the same for any label.

    I don't get it.I mean why? I fail to see the point.

    But whatever people do whatever they want.

    But you know there is worst things in life than an ''unknown'' artist release you dont like OR a shitty review on an electronic forum, like you know:

    a motherfucking global pandemic.

  6. Anti vaxxers and holocaust deniers complaining about facebook blocking em.

    You gotta see it to believe it.

    These arent just any moderate opinions without consequences.

    Maesles? Polio anyone? a little WW2 genocide with that?

    Get real.

    (do desactivate your facebook account tho people, life is better without it)

    Except having to rebuy it all if you really want it on BC...

    Well i don't have the full catalogue.The extent to which you accept to be fucked by Warp by buying again is up to everyone i guess haha ( i think they perfectly are aware lots of people are gonna rebuy stuff just for collection sake)

    But the fact it's now available for future releases is what matters most to me.I did buy new AE on bandcamp and it feels more natural and practical to do it that way.Only music i bought on Bleep was warp.

    New generation of music listener will be able to get it nicely on bandcamp.If anything im surprised they didnt do the move sooner.Planet Mu been there for ages.

    That's actually an excellent reason to buy from BC versus Bleep - plus the BC player puts all your music at your fingertips as you said.

    A shame they never built out Bleep to have that capability...

    Every single time i buy the new releases from Squarepusher or Aphex or Autechre on Bleep only thing that came to mind was ''ugh, i wish i could just buy it on bandcamp already''

    So now there it is.I'm personally very happy it's now possible.

    At first I thought this would be a great chance for Rich to just move his Warp Store to BC so he doesn't have to deal with all the back-end stuff that was putting him off uploading tracks.

    But no, none of the bonus tracks from there, and none of the CD2s of the singles, either. Seems a bit... half arsed.

    Doesn't disagree, would have been probably better to have the bonuses but i think this is mostly a Warp records affair.

    Keeping it as official as it can.As it was released originally.

    good for Warp i guess? i do enjoy people having options and Bandcamp is great, but...

    (rant below don’t click)

      Reveal hidden contents

    bad news for the thousands of unknown artists who are going to get even less exposure/cash because a bunch of boring shits want to buy Drukqs for the fourth time and so the feeds and front page exposure and charts all reflect tried and true long time Warp musicians who don’t need yet another fucking store face. i bet you couldn’t count the places you can buy/stream their music digitally already. 

     

    i disagree, this can only bring more people to buy things on bandcamp and be aware bandcamp exists

    which is good for everyone
