Just been chatting to a friend of mine on MSN. He's been
making music for years and has finally got round to putting
some tracks online. His Myspace profile only came online
this evening, so this is hot off the press.

His Myspace
Direct download 3 track EP (MP3s)

It's good stuff, some of you guys might like it. All made on
old analogue synths/drum machine, sort of electro type
sounds.

"All tracks recorded 1995-2008. Equipment used: Roland TR
606 Drumatix, Roland SH101, Roland JX3P, various old effects
pedals."

I kind of did. Thanks. Nothing mindblowing, but good.

Unfortunately I'd been revisiting Ulrike Jokiel (again) and,
sadly, this suffers in comparison. It's good, but not
mindblowing. Thanks also.

Yep, quite different to Jokiel stuff and not quite as "out
there". It's interesting as they use similar equipment. I'm
enjoying both :)

I like this a lot :)
It's neat, fresh and fun, but indeed nothing ultra special.
Just fun neat tunes

Cool - glad you like it. I think that's the point. Nothing
genre-defining, nothing that reinvents the wheel, but some
good solid analogue electro.

I keep coming back to "Lapine" and "C Mafia" (for the chords
and overal composition of the bassline in cooperation with
the chords), Carrot Juice is quite crap imo

Ah! I think Carrot Juice might be my fave, actually. Quite
dark and I like the beats.

the bassline starts out as uninspired, but stays that way
aswell, so i get bored pretty quickly. I see where he was
trying to go with this tune, but it needs just way more...
But alas, his gear list isn't that big :)

actually, no, i -think- i know where he was trying to go
with the tune :)

May i note that, when listening back to this EP, i am very
curious to what he can do more. I've added him on myspace,
and am expecting loads of quality analoggy neato tunes :D

Cool - I shall let him know! He's got loads and loads of
tracks and is only now getting them into the "digital
domain". I think he's planning on uploading quite a lot of
stuff in the coming months.

but this is interesting nonetheless.
thanks for the link.
always like learning of new musicians.

Bump. He's just emailed me to say there's a new track up.
Haven't had a chance to listen yet, though.....

Ugh. It all sounded so uninspired. I wish I hadn't clicked
on the link. Its not a problem of the kit list as someone
else seemed to insinuate, you can make great music with crap
gear (and he has a couple really nice pieces of equipment).


Its more a problem that he sounds like all he listens to is
boring music. If he keeps it up, he could make a career out
of making some professional sounding but entirely
uninteresting crap.
