Elektron Musical Instruments

I too have to chip in here (he-h eee) and give this release a big 
thumbs up. I'm more a fan of traditional chip stuff where everything 
is being done on the chip using a tracker, milking the little bugger 
for all it's worth  ...  

and often when you get too much lofi sound going it muddies up into 
total crap

but this album is a great example of restraint and using 
multitracking to do something dynamic and interesting with those old 
sounds, while breaking away from the old way of working, without that 
fault i mention

this will likely get me flamed here but i always thought the idea of 
casing SID chips in a synth module when the chips could be used in 
computers to create whole tracks (rather than just a part) was kind 
of sad ... but yes, i know there is goattracker and other things you 
can use with the sidstation.

for those of you who have read this far through my shit, who are into 
this sort of sound (retro, high energy and lots of ideas in lively, 
concise tracks ... heh), check out 8cylinder's ch00nz ( 
http://rhinoplex.org/8cylinder/ ), he does a very similar style with 
gameboys and building his own software, etc ... perfeect to mix with 
this enapa ep.

and, that is all!
