Ifeelspace Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 The burglar dropped us off some more loot at Bandcamp in a quite stealthy manner. I have listened and this is damn good, so figured it deserved it's own thread. http://rolandosimmons.bandcamp.com/album/bridgeland-part-i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickDastardly Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Only managed a brief listen yesterday in the car while travelling to work. Looking forward to giving this a proper go today. Thanks burglar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickDastardly Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 This might be my favourite from the recent RS releases. Top stuff! Bonus track is cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koolkeyZ865 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 First Human Touch Now This??? The gift that keeps on giving!!

kloffy Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I'm going to join in with the rest of the choir here: Extremely lush title track, quality release! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraveGlitcher Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 What an EP/mini-album. I can't wait to hear the rest in the series. Keep up the outstanding work, burglar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sun drugs Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 17 US $ for the whole bandcamp of releases, gotta love that. Bargain Really is a shame most Rolando trax are digital only, honestly far better then a lot of the shit that is pressed out there (including my own music) But stoked to now have it all digitally :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason there's so much digital-only is because I make large quantities fast and they pile up, and i put a lot of TLC into the physical releases so they take some time to finish...

sun drugs Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I guess if your making stuff at this quality and happy to give it away ill happily keep buying. BIg fan, freaked many dancefloors with the Montignac track since picking up the record. The artwork gets many peoples attention alone. Looking forward to what the future holds, just reckon you deserve a bit more credit then what is given in the wider music community :) Your humble approach is missing in large parts of this shit industry but your work is appreciated. + totally understand the waiting game of physicals and how much it can pain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like that people feel they've found unknown musical nuggets when stumbling onto my tracks. That said, I do get more and more messages from people (and labels/organizers) so I'm naturally going to take it where it leads me. I think my music is getting progressively weirder and more accessible at the same time, and the only thing that bugs me is that I don't have as much time to make tracks as I would like.

RickDastardly Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Hydrogen Line sounds rather Drexciyan. Really great release....also, it is only "Part I"...so more to come from this? I hope so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hail Sagan Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 New Rolando Simmons track: don't think i ever uploaded this. nice simple summery tune. acid bass line comes from cyclone bass bot. other things from waldorf blofeld, ms-20 + a ton of processing everywhere. https://soundcloud.com/rolando-simmons/frozen-lemonade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hail Sagan Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I'm loving the album artwork for this series. especially those color schemes. although I'd take quality music > aesthetic any day, it's nice when you get both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
