  1. All over this album from 1974! Not a 303 specifically, but acid sounds nonetheless.
  2. My plan is to buy the new RA album, without ever looking at the cover or listening to the samples. I just want it to show up one day when I come home from work and then I plan to have a "special" evening with it. Also will keep my eye on Crossing Mind. I was not a big fan of the last album, but more often than not I enjoy Stephane's compilation tracks.
  3. With escalators it's not that I am afraid of heights, but I can get vertigo pretty easily. Something about how my body is moving at an angle and yet I'm standing up right. We have several subway stations here in Buffalo where you have to go down at least 2-3 stories through escalators (or stairs in my case). http://www.buffalonews.com/storyimage/BN/20160116/LIFE/160119425/EP/1/3/EP-160119425.jpg My body's natural tendency is to lean forward to stay parallel to the incline. At least if I take the stairs my body can focus on there being the stairs to step down on to.
  4. I have an irrational fear of escalators.
  5. Edited the first post to include a poll. I am still loving this album so much. While it's definitely far from being the most psychedelic stuff being made right now, it's not even Ali's most psychedelic stuff, I have yet to grow tired of the aesthetic/style.
  6. The soundtracks to the Myst series of adventure/puzzle games. They are such an interesting blend between strange, eery electronic pads, acoustic percussion, and light effects.
  7. Yea, I mean pop music doesn't have intros, developing ideas, or even good production values. Just check it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IIspaicSnY Nhjo just needs a major label backing him.
  8. Alice Through The Looking Glass It was, well, umm, not good. There's nothing curious about this wonderland.
  9. Nice! I will have to give this a full listen when I find the time.
  10. Oh I don't know. The secret of the universe perhaps? Or maybe why the chicken crossed the road, or which come first, the leggings or the over the knee socks? In all seriousness, that all makes a lot of sense. Thanks!
  11. Nice tips Imba! I never really thought much about the tune of the kick seeing as how in my brain kicks were always enharmonic, but I guess that's not entirely true. To add to this, I have heard that you generally want your kick and your bass line to sit in their own frequency range separate from each other as much as possible otherwise they end up bleeding together and there is not good clarity. For instance, you might want your kick to come down to about 60Hz and place an emphasis there with a lengthy decay, while your bass line dances above/below on the off beats. Does that sound like a reasonable thing to do? Also, what are your thoughts on clicks? Are they really necessary? I admit bass parts are extremely difficult to get right, but then perhaps that is why there are countless different styles.
  12. Been listening to Hallucinogen a lot the past week or so. I will still never comprehend this part with the vocal patterns shifting in the stereo. The way they pan with the delay in and out of the established beat, moving up and down the keys, being stretched and squashed by the background pads. It's mind boggling. https://youtu.be/0xWmLC47JLM?t=2m58s
  13. No no no. It's not on youtube yet. You've just been time traveling again. This music has some unintended consequences but if we just close our eyes and imagine...
  14. Now that's just funny!
  15. Trying to figure out why people like stuff like this...
  16. Seriously this sounds utterly mind melting! This is like if you took Project Genesis and smashed it together with IFO.
  17. Clearly it's a puzzle. AZ = Arizona. NHJO is an anagram for John. HYENNRO could be an anagram for his last name. If we follow the dates of his soundcloud posts we can actually find coordinates to a particular place in Arizona. Why, Arizona. It all makes perfect sense.
