Came across this dope Ebm @MonteNeuble SE-3X  bassline, in my needle drop travels, which I had to revisit and enlist in a pulsed paraphonic exaltation in DMaj; silky chord changes from “Onward Upward UFO,” a song written & produced in the late 1970s for the St. Regis brothers, by wonderful friend and Parcourse/health food store mentor, Norman H. Landsberg, assisted that sneaky downward modulation. 

The great James Levi (Herbie Hancock fame) and strongman Gary Calvin (on bass) kept the groove going at Bear West Studios in San Francisco—1st 24 track baptism, where “UFO” was recorded—and we brothers have tried to keep the funk analog ever since. Clavinet D6 is still with us: the one Norman unveiled at St. Regis & Leuenberger and taught us to play; ‘cause he was nice with it, "Cry Baby" style.

Celebrating his remarkable life earlier this month—brilliantly and with panache, thanks to Bob Yount (Landsberg & Yount) and Socorro!—brought his lovely spirit, song, and surprising, vast accomplishments to mind:

Founding member of Mountain, featuring Leslie West; Pointer Sisters MD—“Yes We Can Can…”, Lenny Willams (Tower of Power); sampled by Jay-Z (99 Problems), Kanye West, Tribe Called Quest—heard in films like "Barbershop" and "The Taking of Pelham 123.”

His group Hammer opened up for Leon Russell AND Miles Davis at Fillmore West… Wut!?!

“When tears come, remember brighter smiles can then show."

Miss them when they are here; that’s the Power of Love—which evrybody needs.

Mega Traum – T-1 Intelligence
Duration: 9 minutes 44 seconds | 120 BPM: ~Deep & Hypnotic

What happens when an AI robot catches a contact high? "T-1 Intelligence" explores that question through hypnotic modular grooves and a steadily building sense of synthetic consciousness. Mega Traum wires up the Roland Boutique arsenal with algorithmic precision, fusing the TB-03’s acid spirals, TR-09’s dusty kicks, and shimmering JU-06 pads—all sequenced with the futuristic logic of the Torso T-1.

The result: a cinematic, late-night acid techno journey told through hardware and haze. This isn’t just techno—it’s techno with sentience.

T-1 Intelligence

Mega Traum
Ritual techno from the undergrounds of Patmos.
Deep acid transmissions, sacred sequences, and analog prophecy. Dubbed in the ruins. 
Synced through Tricknology.
