Indeed! :slight_smile: Somewhat older and more hi-fi these days, but still massive and absolutely gorgeous!

Same here, they are amazing live! I’ve heard them 4 times in Copenhagen and 2 times in Berlin. Massive experiences each time! :heart:

They reformed in 2010, and have made a series of really great albums since. Lot to dig into, if you haven’t heard these. :slight_smile:
Together with the new one “To Be Kind” is probably my favorite - especially this song:

thanks for sharing and i will check it out. back in olden days they had a bit more somber tone but have always been dramatic and theatrical in there form…but that track had a brightness that was new to me…thank you again.

This is not acustic but still groovy. Maybe minimal or house and psychedelic can describe it a bit.

been really digging this early polyrhythmic minimal fm goodness by @Ess

does anyone know (or maybe @Ess will chime in) what device(s) this album was made on? sounds like some of the kicks and fm kicks are nanoloop 2 but definitely sounds more full/varied than nanoloop 2, to my ears at least.

anywho, it’s an incredible album, just 2 tracks, def worth a good listen through

Blast from the past!
It’s made with a Sega Megadrive controlled by Little Scale’s GenMDM MIDI interface. :—)

wow that is so darn cool! love what you did on this album. listening to it on repeat not going to lie lol. coming from a jazz guitar background, i’m trying to “transcribe” it by ear onto the Digitone2 i recently purchased. it’s really helping teaching me what fm params do to sound in a practical way. it’s my first elektron device and loving it so far.

thanks for chiming in Ess :blush:
