joshuatxuk Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Neon Judgement's "Fashion Party" from 1982 also has some of that Rephlex magic, especially sonically. Also - listen to those fantastic delay tweaks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xa9HT0FsjnU I remember hearing that in one of his live DJ sets, along with Crash Course In Science - "Cardboard Lamb" He and Autechre have played this one out as well. The more experimental Electro that came out seems incredibly influential: Mandatory Man Parrish listening: http://youtu.be/4qeE_IcuHHs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuatxuk Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Another one Aphex played at Torino, I was obsessed with finding this track for the longest time. Amazing track for 1980. I heard a lower-quality version of the live set and the synth rhythm sounded like a big drum, with the long decay of a timpani or something: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awepittance Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 i just picked up this album by Ph.D, never heard of them before. Sort of a mixture of glam rock and uk synth pop with all synths and real drums, 1981 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPO-XrKLnwU there's something very attractive about this type of production to me, reminds me of that first track i posted. Very dry but beefy synth and real drum sounds for the time period it was released. I like the idea of musicians going up against the challenge a lot of early pre-Roland era drum machine electronic music had, which was getting the drums to actually sound big, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psn Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Second track sounds more like mid 80s Van Halen than The Tuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerWaschbar Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I've been holding back posting this video because I've been lusting after one of these for a while and I don't want any extra bidding competition if one comes up for sale. But, fuck it. Edit: A few others. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PFLgkTtTeQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awepittance Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 haven't played with any of those drum modules specifically but I'm pretty sure RDJ used a Simmons module (famous among old school synth pop acts) of some kind to do the toms in this track, around 3:10 onwardhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81ZgDM_w74Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerWaschbar Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I wondered if it was the Pollard:http://search.retrosynth.com/ah/search/lookit.cgi?-v0407.382 Could be Simmons too tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awepittance Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 its unfortunate Quick Culture only had one release, very promising stuff. i just completed most of the tracks for this release which includes some proto Tuss mashups anybody remember that one album that featured a lot of Yamaha GX-1 drum use on it? IT was discovered by the forum right after Confederation Trough came out, can't find the thread anymore though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr_Nova Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 There are two used Front 242 CDs at a local music store for less than $10 a piece. Should I be snatching that shit up ASAPé (my question mark is now É apparently... and is fluctuating between lower and upper caseé) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psn Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 1982 - 1988 Front 242 is golden. Pulse from 2003 is also pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling it`s fuck up evil (the one with the numbers) and it`s partner album. I remember buying one of them when I was 15 and returning it because I thought the production was cheesy. But I had headphones that didn`t respect the bass, and a kid brain that didn`t appreciate a lot of things I`d find awesome now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
