My next from-the-vault podcast is a mix of eight tracks from Devices (43min:04sec, 67.8 MB MP3). Released in 1999 (and still available in its original form as a free download), Devices was my fourth full-length release on CD-R and combined elements of ambient, chill-out, IDM, and techno styles. In addition to completely remastering these tracks for 2010, I added some minimal techno beats to move the mix along.
Track list:
- Invocation (vocoder)
- Spirus Falls
- Wonders of Nando
- Stance
- Home Capsules
- Beq Ultra Fat
- Netro
- Stolen
As an added bonus, the complete album Devices (2010 Remaster) is now available for purchase on Bandcamp. Immediate download of 12-track album in your choice of 320k mp3, FLAC, or just about any other format you could possibly desire. Also included are two bonus tracks of spoken word/vocoder material, a PDF of original booklet artwork and a JPEG digital collage.
NOTES: My gear for these tracks consisted of an Akai MPC-2000 sampler/sequencer, Novation BassStation analog synth, Korg Prophecy digital synth, Nord Lead 2 digital synth, Mackie 1604-VLZ mixer, Digitech Studio 400 multi-effects, Alesis Microverb III multi-effects, Digitech RDS-4000, Presonus stereo compressor. I added EQ, multiband dynamics, stereo widening and loudness maximizing to clean up each track and remaster for 2010.
