Just about anything electronic that is popular here, Autechre, OneOhTrix, bleeping scratching insects talking to stalagmites in caves. Then there's all that Messiaen stuff.
But Beefheart, I put the time in .. listened to TMR regularly maybe ten years ago.. and now, uh, I dig it big time.

Yes I too love The Belldog.
He has a big romantic, almost cosmic, streak in him, but likes to keep it hidden.
Spinning Away on the Eno /Cale album Wrong Way Up, is in the same vein - glorious, sublime, heaven.

I heat it all up and blow very hard at it, eyes closed of course. Works ok but does leave fine streaks of tin to clear away. I did try a spring loaded solder sucker but it's an exercise needing three hands.

Hmm must dig out Benefit or Aqualung.. I only have them on ancient cassettes.
Ha, kids at school walking around with Aqualung under their arm to signify cool.

Way back in time here.. you could check out Pere Ubu who had Allen Ravenstein with a modular in the 80s or bands with a VCS3 like Gong. Or where a synth becomes a mutant rhythm machine for various industrial bands.

This is the science of the bleedin' obvious. Anyone who has watched a family group of otters for even a brief spell understands that the parents play with their young for the sheer pleasure of it. Why so many words? Most of us rarely see otters? I'm not sure I've ever seen one IRL come to that. Ha,...

Of course every term is an invention to try to describe something, and then familiarity makes it valid. Sample and hold: "Bite but no chew" :hihi: I bet you could find a bilingual Urdu speaker online, a techy person in Pakistan? Ah I see it's basically Hindu, transliterated into Arabic script, with ...

Lovely idea the panel in Urdu - but never trust a dictionary. Usage is what counts. I worked in SE Asia and we were doing lubricating oil packaging for a middle eastern country. The director over-ruled my choice of a UK translation service and saved money by going local. When the client saw it they ...

Try the Tele left handed, if you're right handed that is, or do a nonsense tuning. Hit it with implements that are not plectrum shaped. Whatever you do turn it up very loud. More prosaicly one of the cheap Zoom multifunction pedals should work wonders on a zither. Can you wedge it in a window and us...

How about the sound of wanking ?
Appropriate image on the video too..

Wow you've had a hard time of it. Good that things are looking up for you and you're feeling positive. I should put a MuffWiggler happy emoji or something! Yup you can record a left and right as two mono feeds. I assume you'll edit in your DAW? You should be able to combine them in the DAW into some...

Holy thread resurrection shuffle..
..nice piece on them in The Grauniad

Mick Karn was another 1980s bassplayer (somewhat earlier than Pino) who went out of fashion.

Yeah good call - felt he had a bit more bite than Pino.

Funny how much these things are based on time and place; in the UK in the 1980s, Pino Palladino would have topped any poll. Now he doesn't even make the list. I think that could be because the bands he played for and his style of playing has dated a bit. A lot of flanging and moody fretless. Disinc...

The bigger the industry, the more specialised the roles. In times of scarcity, generalists or those who can turn their hand to separate skills, can survive more easily. Generalists are also good at making novel connections between unrelated areas. I just wish the education system made sure students ...

These are great!
You picked your colour palette really well too
I also like the plain ones with the eye symbol round the knobs.

Ah - maybe Futura is not a good idea - things like the top of capital A come to a sharp point and without that it will look wrong.
I know the DIN fonts - very nice - popular in graphic design some years ago. Form follows function : single stroke for the win!

These are great - very impressive all round.
I prefer the single stroke narrow font 'NormWest', it just looks right, though a wee bit more letter spacing would improve it.
Me, I'm sick to death of bloody Helvetica! Can I recommend Futura for a nice crisp Germanic look?

Jah Wobble was post punk I suppose but he's inimitable.
JJ is great, melodic and cool - win win win.

As far as monitoring goes I think playing it on *anything* different is good. If you find a part stands out too much, even on a crappy speaker, it probably needs taking back. The other thing I like to do is play mixes in the car or while doing the washing up - anything so you aren't concentrating on...

I've used some free VSTs that can more or less do this. There's one designed to have two sounds where you can morph between them via the envelope or duration. It does sound like one sound that changes, but it doesn't have that many controls. There's another where every patch is made of two sounds, o...

Where's Nelson for the real deal?
Then wasn't there a mod who got people to revoke themselves ?

I must be nice on MW I must be nice on MW I must be nice on MW

Cretaceousear, that might actually be the only reasonable answer. Agreed - Cretaceousear has it Why, thank you :cookiemonster: And thanks IR for posting that link to the Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come track - never heard that album but I enjoyed Galactic Zoo Dossier back then - gleefully eccentric.

No contest

There's a bit of Come Together on a TV ad here in the UK - annoying and just another ad trying to gain cool by appropriating culture.
I like your version a lot. Bagus!
