Re: The Story of a Sample That Keeps Coming Back

Think fast mates Aphex Twin unreleased tracks with the sample (forget which track). He's been putting tunes on Soundcloud.

Re: 808 State drum patterns – any online?

I did a version of "In Yer Face"

https://soundcloud.com/theonewhois/inyerface

Listening to the original on YouTube my version lacks a lot of elements like the stabs and bassline but I didn't spend a lot of time on it. :-? :wink:

Re: 808 State drum patterns – any online?

"In Yer Face" is a break beat track in the style of a live drummer. Focus on the kick, snare, open hi-hat, and cymbal pattern that goes throughout it should be close.

Reverbnation - Rap/ RnB/ Hip-Hop Manchester, UK

Reverbnation is a hot bed of b-rate talent and amateur artist. Some of the stuff is pretty funny. :) There is raw potential in other talent though. Dallas, Texas where I'm from has over 15 pages of rappers. Manchester only has two pages of rappers, most of the music on Reverbnation from Manchester i...

Re: Yellow Magic Orchestra

One problem with YMO's music is their English vocals sounded slurred. I think they were going for Genesis/ Peter Gabriel effect applying a little chorus to the vocals and trying to sound similar. I could be talking out of my arse but that's what it sounds like. The German accent in Kraftwerk's man m...

If you play 1000 Knives at 45 RPM - 8 it sounds like 808 State Album 90 type stuff. :)

Re: Graham and the 808

I think 808 State should release a new album just using the Roland R8, R70 and maybe something weird like the RARE sakata dpm 48 DRUMCOMPUTER . Of course olf synthesizers like the BIT 1 and samplers. If 808 State released an album today it would probably be have an IDM, glitch music quality like the...

Graham and the 808

http://t.co/cwFxSL4f2z Old 808 State reminds me of the R8 or R70 not so much the Roland 808 unless the very early material like Newbuild. British Acid House. Every time I hear an R8 drum machine I think of Excel. Pure 808 was used in a lot of old rap with a slower tempo. Some old house used a real ...

Never heard of this one. Would have bought it through during my Moog record buying days.
