-Was it that long ago..This double pack came about while learning to use my newly acquired novation bass station rack synth. Having the ability to midi sequence the SH-101 and novation over the 202 opened up many of the grooves since I would just jam for a few hours over each track and find which sequences seemed to work before tightening up the editing. The tracks themselves were done in the same manner of the live sets I was playing, just cutting stuff in and out on the fly and jumping through patterns while trying to make it sound somewhat sensible. It became a nice contrast of rigid machine grooves and more free-flowing synth lines to my ears. Hard to believe it's such a "sought after" release, but I still drag my single copy out to play once and awhile.
Side note: Still haven't been sued for those clips from the six million dollar man and star treak on the inside "filler".
Fun record to make back in the day. BPM of title track still seems a little too slow..should've been 5bpm faster.
Gear used: Roland R-70, S-10sampler, MC-202, SH-101, Novation BassStation rack, Tr-707, Kawai Q-80 sequencer, Zoom 1204 and the mic was a $20 pair of headphones..good distortion.
This was my first 12" release on this sub-label of Communique. Tracks were created with Roland R-70, R-5, S-10, MC-202, SH-101, Yamaha RX-5, Novation BassStation rack, Digitech TSR-12, Kawai Q-80 and K1.
