Jon Bon Tempi the Retrospecialist

I prefer free range to eggs from Battery hens. less lithium.

Did you see the 1988 Cardiacs show uploaded to YT by ABC last week? It's a treat.

I pre ordered the new one LSD on lysergic vinyl yesterday. Looking forward to that.

Mastering.com - The Future of Music Production Education Learn recording, producing, mixing & mastering to an industry standard. Start mastering your own music. Tuition, 1:1 mentorship & community.

The mastering.com tutorials that are free on you tube are pretty good at showing how the pro's do it. They use Logic but the fundamental stuff is the same in any DAW. They have some long video covering mixing a whole track from the start to end.

Entertaining if somewhat bonkers film but a stunning visual feast.

I went to an Ocean game launch at Centresoft in Milton Keynes. They were the main game distributor in the mid eighties. They had crates and crates of free Bollinger. Got absolutely plastered. The car park was full of TVR's and Ferraris. I think that's where the money went!

Andy Fisher - Bass. Spencer Blake - Vocals.

Sorting CD's today. I just bought 3000+ at auction. Some great some OK, not many terrible ones. Half are classical with quite a few rare and hard to find early music interest. Cost me about 10p each. Most will go for sale on Discogs in my Retrospecialist shop.

I just have the original UK vinyl bought on the day of release when I was a wee lad in short trousers.

I might make Outfox the Containter my next RPG character.

The synth of depression and ultimate doom.

In case of Sonic Attack on your district follow these rules
If you are making love it is imperative to bring all bodies to orgasm simultaneously Do not waste time blocking your ears
Do not waste time seeking a soundproof shelter get as far away from the sonic source as possible but do not panic

Open a window and get a small fan to blow away solder fumes whilst soldering. A pair of cheap wire snips will help. only solder low to board components first. Watch molten modulars vid on you tube, he made one of these. I made one it's pretty easy. good first kit.

Probably but only to be replaced by another one saying 'now cut off a leg.'

Sounds good. I'm just getting back into it after going down a modular rabbit hole for the last few years.

Sorry to hear that. Black ones are always the best. RIP Burke.

I recommend XTC and X-ray specs to remedy that problem.

Death and resurrection

All my patches are errors. Being 60 and an idiot I forget what a lot of the patch points do. It's all happy accidents here.

Minibrute 2S, Behringer Victor, Drumbrute impact, BB delay and a bit of modulation from Ebb & Flow. Not sure where this is going yet. Probably sample into the MPC and build on top of it.

No floppy disk version then?

I built one. It's a good delay with a distinct effect that is quite different to digital type delay. It's a pretty straight forward build. Some tight upright resistors like all the mki edu modules.

I'm sure that It create a lot of interest. It's a great idea and the retro game genre is pretty hot. Hope it does really well for you. On the wishlist and will def buy on release.

Excellent old skool look advert. I miss the days when every game had one with a crazy picture like this.

Wonderful psychedelic stories full of fantastic imagery and memorable characters. Jitterbug perfume was my favourite but they are all great books.

Cooking up some dark space techno on a wet Sunday afternoon. All modules are DIY kits except the two behringer oscillators.

Nice piano and nice scrap - that looks like extrusion. Worth good cash at the yard :)

Yes you should and yes it will feel like a horrible mistake for a while at least. It does not need to be expensive if you go DIY and build from kits or board/panel sets. Two hobbies in one if you learn to solder. It's easy.

Thanks for all the great content you have provided in the past year. So glad you are still making lots of DIY kits. They got me into making a few years ago. I have just finished DIY module number 28, 29 & 30. Axis modular Ebb, Flow and a Bit Buddy. Cheers and happy new year.
