I do not think so.. nah... the wild west myth is not big over here. Remember, there are more norwegians in the US than there are here.

Your current junta .. well... we feel sorry for you guys. Clearly you did not deserve that shit. Hopefully this will change. . The next election? Kick the baboon out of the shelter then? Any decent new candidates?

Of course, the US has other problems, like poverty and crime, but ... well.. most countries have the same problems.

Perhaps, but regardless, there is too little focus on solutions, real solutions, across the board, and with the political and economic clout we toss about regarding far less pressing issues, we have far fewer excuses for not focusing on said solutions. Do we still rank 20th in infant mortality amongst industrialized nations?

And it's not a Bush thing, it's not a presidential or even governmental thing, it's a social apathy thing, and it's all of us to some degree or another. The butterfly effect is a potent factor in socioeconomics, or perhaps I am just terribly naive.

And behold, conversational evolution in effect!

The Man Who Japed:
What did you use to create that incredible vocoder voice?!?!!?!

The vocoder voice? That is quite a messy patch. I use similar patches for a lot of the voices in many of my songs. The orginal patch was some sort of an Elektro 80 trademark I guess. Using hardware: synth modules, outboard efx and a stack of VP-330 devices. The big thing with the original patch was that it could be tweaked realtime and there would be controls all over the place in order to make it expressive and groove.

The one you hear in "The Man Who Japed" sounds pretty much the same in this instance but the signal routing has been done in software. What you hear here is not something done just using vocoders. -And the modulator/carrier streams both originate from synth patches.

I also use stepfiltering a lot. -And often inside such patches / signal routings like the one you mentioned. These days I use mostly software but I have been looking for some nice hardware.

Obviously the best thing would be to build a modular synth based on the style of signal processing that I want. Hmm... actually... some vendor should probably hire me for making such a device.

Anyway... there are several cute devices out there that can do midi controlled stepfiltering. ( Carlo does this in Reason ).

Trivia: I do not think of what I call patches as just applying EFX to a track. A patch is is fact an instrument which is playable, put together by routing the signal itself and controller parameters.

That terratec Warp 9 looks exactly like the old MAM warp 9,
I wrote a review of it here:

Great tracks! Just got time to sit down and listen.

Juli came in and started dancing around the studio. She says, "This makes me want to put on my dancing shoes." This is a mysterious comment, actually, because she usually dances barefoot. Shocked

I still hear traces of what sounds like Arabic music to me. I think it's the phrasing you use on some of you keyboard licks. I hear it in almost every track, just for very short periods. Don't know if this occurs to anyone else.

I like the variations in dynamics, and in timbres.

Blinded by Memory is my favorite, I think. I need to listen to them all again though. The female voice that starts the ends that track - was it played on a sampler? I was having a great time playing along on my keyboard. Lot's of fun. Laughing

You definitely have a sound of your own. Great textures and instrumentation.
