Re: [elektron] NiN use the MD and Sidstation...

2004-05-15 by yoslugman3@aol.com

i havnt heard much from nin on the radio or tv lately. do they have a 
new song? maybe they are locked in that studio, confused!? theyve got 
lots of gear judging by the photos. i havnt recognised any SID sounds 
in the last tracks i heard, but that was five years ago. anyway they 
suck; but the SIDs cool!        <---ehh screw the mass media heh, the last 
straw was broken with "American Idol" over here in the US, eehh wut garbage.
   
 (NOTE: i not tryin to come off as a jerk or anything, just think tryin to 
please the public instead of pleasing yourself isn't really the point of music. 
To me it all about tryin to define yourself, break new bounds, lol or just do 
anything different, but then again that's my opinion....heh and u all entilted 
to ur own)

NIN was and still is a driving force behind my music (if u wanna call it 
that), he just did sumthing different. 

As being a child of the 80's, i never really liked the cheesy synth sounds of 
like the prog-rock scene or any really of the popular songs ( maybe a few 
exceptions). When i first heard NIN play synths "hard" i was like "OOO THAT"S 
NEW!", heh and since then been trying to come up with a mix of the 2,  edgy 
synths with some of that warm character, but not overdue it and make it feel like 
one of grandma's sweaters.  

Not sure if any others were inspired by Trent's odd mix of synths with other 
sounds.  Heh least me thought it was cool.
