I'm reminded of Kraftwerk but with a more modern treatment. Nicely done Mark.

Great intro sweeping stuff man, it reminds me of classic 70's synth, but not in a dated way. Great vox effect

as mentioned in another comment, kraftwerk comes to mind.  probably the vocal use, but also the clearly established melodies that hook and pull you in.  great synth sounds as well, love the old school sci-fi vibe.

Loving this drum and synth part - very cool Maestro!! Always a pleasure to hear your music Mark!!

Great stuff, great beats and fx. Fav + greets to australia:)

Cool music! Hope, you make some new music soon! :)

I woke early, before the birds, a couple of weekends ago, couldn't get back to sleep so I got up, made a cup of coffee and wandered through to my studio, put on my headphones and fired up Reason. I was playing around with the basis of this tune when James came in and asked to hear what I was doing. As he was listening he made the comment "Sounds like it has stars in it" which I thought was wonderful. So later that day I got him to say it again into the mic. His brother Alex added the "Wow" and "Look at all the stars". They both laughed and giggled as they were doing this, so I kept that stuff too. Their cousin Lil chimes in towards the end too. So a bit of a family affair this one and a little bit of fun from Soft E Studios.

The effects on how money controls us all rich and poor.

MINDLESS CONTROL by Dogs Of Raw (recorded live)

RUSTYS TRIP by Dogs Of Raw (recorded live).

This was inspired by a chapter in one of my favourite SciFi books 'Consider Phlebas' by Iain M Banks. The main character, Horza evades capture by recklessly flying his ship the Clear Air Turbulence, through and out of the much larger (actually enormous) GSV The Ends Of Invention, causing chaos and mayhem in the process.

This is a new version which will be included in an upcoming EP titled Space Cadet.

Thanks to the late Iain M Banks for having such an awesome imagination.

Taking a stab at some electronic dance energy on this one, although out of my comfort zone a little, I hope you enjoy!!.....<3<3<3

Electrodance is a frenetic and quirky form of street dance typically performed to electro house music. It is based on, although is not limited to, a blend of different dance styles, such as industrial dance, moroccan chaabi, disco, vogue, waacking, hip-hop and freehand glowsticking.
Mix /production/ cover art myself.

So I met this guy in the demoscene chat (he's more of a cat than a demoscener, he says about himself), his name's Korni. I always greet him with "Corny, the Schokoriegel!" If you search for that in a search engine of your choice, you know what it is! :D At some point, I called him a "choco riegel super freak" and people wondered what that meant. :D Then Mirrorbird, a fellow scener in the chat, said it would be a nice track name... Schokoriegel is German for candy bar. Et voilà! I know, it's a silly story, but that's the background story to that track. At some point I had the idea to add some vocaloid-like lyrics and made that crazy track for Sound of SceneSat 5. Hope you enjoy this silly crazy track! :D Special greets to Korni, Antibyte, Vodkabot and Mirrorbird! Oh yes, lotsa chocolate has been consumed while creating this track! So get a candy bar and pump up the volume!

Write me for any nice reason!

Lyrics:

I am a Choco Superfreak,
I'm a Candy Bar Superfreak!

Chocolate, I love you sweet,
you're everyone's favorite treat!

Lover's gift, oh tasty cream,
about you I ought to dream!

--

(Candy Bar Superfreak)

Drop it into my mouth!
Slips and melts, awesome stuff!

(Candy Bar Ultrafreak, ah!)

Bitter sweet, nutty true,
chocolate kiss, dream of you!

--

I am a Choco Superfreak,
I'm a Candy Bar Superfreak!

これはチョコレートです。
Kore wa chokorētodesu.

++++. PROFILE NOTES ++++

Once a wannabe, not yet a has been.

It had been over a decade since I put together a song,
and for that matter basically walked away from music altogether.
Losing hope that I would ever have the time to put into music again,
I finally gave away my 3rd music studio.
I ran across SoundCloud around 2013,
and thought I might take what few songs I had recorded, 
and lay them to rest there.
And there they languished.

HOWEVER, around 2017 I went back to SoundCloud
and began listening a little more and a little more,
and actively taking a part in visiting the sites
of so many wonderful musicians and beautiful songs.
Also, more and more often I would discover that these artists
were blossoming everywhere around the world,
and most definitely worthy of high praise and compliments.

Then suddenly, these old dead soundtracks right here
began to have a bit of life breathed back into them.
From the kind words that began to come trickling in,
I thought, maybe, someday I might give this music thing a try again.

The thing that finally pushed me into action
was a particular SoundCloud artist…Sander Heerings,
AKA https://soundcloud.com/wane-of-summer
 

Not only was he encouraging,
but he began faithfully responding to a few questions,
then a barrage of them.

The final result seemed to be that after a couple of months,
the Old Grinder now has a 4th studio and, finally, a new song.
I hope there may be many more to come.

Thank you Sander, and to the multitude that have dropped in
to listen to these old songs, 
and most of all, for perking up my spirits.
