Great memories of my youth. Thanks Steven. Milan :-)

Is this original?  Sounds authentic to the period?

Truly fantastic song! Is there a release available from this era?

A classic early to mid 80s drum machine. Has a very 'Don't you want me' sound! Similar to the Linn Drum. All sounds sampled with extra loops to play with!

Out now: FUTURISM - EP
The future is a distant memory.  Five synth-flavoured tracks inspired by 80s pop culture, built with modern hardware. Conjuring up images of neon highways and dystopian mega-cities. 

Replicant

Another Vangelis type track I produced around the same time as "Hades", (not quite so dramatic though!). I had uploaded this under my SA Fred moniker previously.
Its one of those I have mixed feelings for, I never really felt this was finished, and unlikely to revisit. But I think it holds together mostly, I like the sounds and the feel, even if it needs a little more meat on its bones :)

Just playing around with drones. Still needs a bit of work.

Invocation - WIP

It has come to my attention that most people on soundcloud that follow me then stop following me when I follow back. It's just how they get followers. So I have opted out of the whole following-back game altogether. I also don't care any more about how many followers I have since in these circumstances it is completely meaningless. People with no music at all have thousands of followers for nothing more than choosing an avatar picture of a semi naked woman. It's all a bit silly really :-)
Steven.
