tranzistor rhythm

have been lis'nin to a compilation album called "808 Attack", which carried this friendly subtitle: "featuring Roland and his mates" :P
well and so i went and read this article about Roland TR-808, soft (wanted to say "sort of") ubiquitous vintage 80's drum machine used in many low (and not so low)-budget music, including early hip-hop and electro dance.. btw here's a link to a virtual VSTi emulating the real thing.

i mean, look how this "simple" and "unlifelike" sounding drum machine shaped the sound of 80's and early nineties... and one of the first artists to use TR-808 on his records was of course! Ryuichi Sakamoto (i hear) (1000 knives)

here's one tune i liked greatly from the 808 attack compilation, and its a cover, remix or who knows what of another YMO/Sakamoto number, Riot in Lagos.



proponents of 90's Detroit electro/techno (btw they all widely used tr-808) - Dopplereffekt, Drexciya, Aux 88, Underground Resistance(UR), Juan Atkins (the father), black musicians most of them.
i think i hear the likes of tr-808 even on στερεο νοβα albums..

i was looking at that look on Anne Clark's face and was wondering if the pain i feel inside somehow could turn from moaning to sort of a riot, like in anne clark's intonation and public stance.. i mean i friggin' need to push away that friggin' moanin' n' sufferin' note heard through my voice and my whole being. n i don't know what to do, in fact. that is.

διαβάζω και προτείνουν κάπου το εξής ντοκιμπαντέρ για ψυχές σαν την δική μου που ψάχνονται: High Tech Soul - The Creation of Techno Music

ελα ρε γμτ διαβαζω πως οι aux 88 εκαναν λαιβ στο 6dogs στις 30 Απριλιου. Μαλιστα, και στις 29 ειχε παίξει ο DJ Stingray που ξερωγώ και αυτός είναι του κόλπου, στο BIOS. τι γίνεται ρε παιδιά; παίζει αναβίωση, ε; φάaaaση. Aachen.
