Guest Garkken Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 How was created this great album? Under the influence of what? (I mean music). What synths were used? In general, any information about this album that could be interesting!
vamos scorcho Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 I came here to ask this. it just seems inconceivable that this album was made. it's too perfect, almost like a stroke of luck. everything in the right place.
Guest Garkken Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 I've already forgotten about this thread)
Berk Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) Maybe influenced by Detroit Techno http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgKG4rGCGgk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRmbv_X9YAQ&feature=related Some sounds used are kinda similar to sounds from the Roland MT-32 module Amazing album!

sergeantk Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 damn why have i not heard more awesome detroit techno like this?
Joyrex Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Really, Carl Craig is the godfather of Techno. He's responsible for the Psyche/BFC alias. Some great songs. If you want a really great Psyche/BFC release, check out Elements: 1989-1990 (where the From Beyond song comes from). This is another great Psyche/BFC track from that release: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ym7SH8a385s Really superb track, one of my favourites.
Joyrex Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Also, back on the subject of SAW 85-92, there's a lot more to this release than meets the eye. I've been asked to dig through my archives for more info for an upcoming reissue of this classic album, so if I come across anything worth posting, I'll be sure to do so. Almost every track has a story behind it or some alternate meaning, and what's more interesting is the tracks that didn't make the cut - there were more that didn't then there were that did!

ilt17 Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 This surely influenced him for saw85-92 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6Q9YqVKGh4 And early house in general, you can feel it trough the album

This is another great Psyche/BFC track from that release: It's a fantastic album, but it's also the only music I like from him. Has he made more stuff similar to this?
marf Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 (edited) info? we are talking about aphex. homemade equipment, a dx7 with analog filter and a tank Edited October 22, 2011 by marf
Guest Diao Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 info? we are talking about aphex. homemade equipment, a dx100 with analog Fix't
ZoeB Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Yeah, if you just want an equipment list, read Benjamin Middleton's 1992 USENET post on the subject, but the point is he was using cheap gear but getting a great sound out of it because the music itself was interesting and not what everyone else was doing. So it would be a fallacy to rush out and buy a DX-100 or anything, the point is you can use pretty much anything to make great music. Just learn to innovate.

In general, any information about this album that could be interesting! Somebody on this forum, don't remember who, came with this track as it resembles Pulsewidth alot, and came out in 1990, so this must have been an influence.

Cryptowen Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 So, like, I've never really got why people treat this album like it was something totally new & different that changed the face of techno. I mean, don't get me wrong - it's a really nice album with a distinct voice, but at the same time to me it's tonally very much in the same vein as some of the stuff that had come in the decade before it (see: examples in this thread). Was it the sort of microtonal sound? The use of noise samples? Did it bring this particular style to a wider audience than it had received previously?

Because, there isn't an album quite like SAW 85-92. Its in a league of its own, just the melodies, the way everything was placed. the song structure...

I'm talking more about all the people who speculate about how he produced those sounds, and that he must have been using bizarre homemade synths/exotic gear found in a junkshop somewhere. To me it mostly sounds like cleanish synth sounds run through digital reverbs & lofi recording equipment. It isn't so much new sound concepts as pre-existing ones being put to good use.
