Slightly remastered little legacy track from Press Button To Continue, a compilation I made hiding behind an artist name "Ridgestone" in 1999. Very, very limited amount of CD-Rs were made and not many of those made it through to 2023 I'm afraid...

But anyways, here it is, made on Fasttracker in '98, or '99...Who knows... You may identify some of the sample sources better than me as I don't have a clue what was from where and why.

Track was "re-mastered" in my "studio" through analog multiband compressor and EQ unit so it may (or may not) sound somewhat better than original Fasttracker WAV exportion ripped from CD. (Who the hell rips his own cds... That's me who!)

** To be continued - with some more trax from the same CD - stay tuned **

Now What About...

Almost straight route from Fasttracker to Soundcloud!
From 1999 to 2023, only 24 years time in between! :D
Also "remastered" using some outboard analog processing.

Tracking Fast, Running Circles

Just fooling around with Behringer TD-3 and RD-8...
Keep Acid Alive! :)

Your Daily Dose Of Acid

Pure and raw analog sounds of RD-8, TD-3, Alpha Juno and some FX pedals, sequenced on MMT-8 and recorded live on H-4.

No DAWs, no computers, no multitrack recordings or multiple takes used.

So one of the things putting me off getting a Moog was the 'one-trick-pony' feeling - awesomeness for bass and leads, but not much else. OK, not much of a reason not to get one, but there are so many synths out there!
So I got one, and decided to try making an entire track just using the one synth (Moog Subsequent 37).
This is the result. All sounds from the Moog, but some Space Chorus on the leads, with a bit of reverb here and there. And the occasional stereo panning since the Moog is mono.
Now with 'video'...

NOW THAT's what I call MUSIC:

- C64 SID tracks (Martin Galway, Rob Hubbard, Ben Daglish, Jonathan Dunn etc.)
- Amiga tracker music (too many great demos and games to mention)
- British 90's electronic dance music  (The Prodigy, Leftfield, Chemical Brothers, Union Jack, etc.)
- 90's hard house, acid, minimalistic house made in Detroit & Berlin (Robert Hood, Joey Beltram, Hardfloor, Cherrymoon Trax, Phuture, Beverly Hills 808303 etc.)
- Legendary synth wizards (Jean-Michel Jarre, Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, Jan Hammer, Giorgio Moroder, Vangelis etc.)
- 70's soul records, the main sample source and starting point to everything based on breakbeats. (Amen for dat!)
- Lindelltronics aka Mr. Kiipparikvartetti aka Tommi Lindell, Suomi, Finland (this must be the most talented, wikidist, MOST_seriously_dopest_FUNKY_SHIT, ever!)
- Hard rock and heavy metal (anthems they now play on "classic rock"-radios aimed to old farts like me) especially ACCEPT and ZZ TOP (and some bands between these, if sorted alphabetically)
- Wu-Tang Clan, Public Enemy, Beastie Boys (Bcoz of their clever and creative usage of somewhat limited sampler technology back in the day, they really had "skills to pay the bills").
- Ennio Morricone, Klaus Doldinger, Basil Poledouris, James Horner, John Williams, Henry Mancini, John Carpenter, etc... all the GREAT film composers there are/were...
