Yeah, it's like bizarro world. But g'ah. Steve Reich, Tony Allen, Liquid Liquid, Kompakt and Sub Pop records, Peter Hook, the Ethiopiques series, Matmos, Goblin, Chuck D, Bob Moog, Fennesz, Plaid, Kings of Convenience...such a gold mine.
Though I confess it did make me giggle they have Sir Mix-a-lot.

Cluster!
Not that I've been following music press all that closely, but it's kind of amazing that I have been fans of their music for over 30 years and never once saw their name anywhere - leave alone an interview.
I guess corporate "charity" can be used for good.

I had the opportunity to play with a EMS VCS 3 many years ago. Such a devious interface!
(Note: Must watch Andrei Rublev again).

This is (surprisingly) interesting. The archive has some intriguing stuff in it too.

You're not kidding. Trying to get the same sound twice is an exercise in futility.

He even talks dismissively of the folks who drool at analog synths today, which made me laugh and tease me husband, who is one such synth-nerd.
BTW, this series is awesome (puzzling as it's RB-sponsored). We spent the holiday yesterday listening to Cosey Fanni Tutti talk all morning. And Cluster! Swoon.
