Exoplanets 3

Got a couple of reviews off so far this week, short ones and easy to write cos they're about good stuff. New module arrived that's also good so my life continues to be easy.

I sent back a CD I ordered (Albedo 0.39) which was meant to have been remastered by Vangelis. Think I made a mistake because the replacement arrived and it still sounds, well, not how you'd imagine a remaster to sound. At all. I'll import into Wavelab and check it out but it's significantly quieter than any of this other albums, including the fab Beaubourg remaster. If necessary I'll sort it out myself but it suggests I should have read the label carefully before assuming they cocked up!

I have a new track to make for the 'abstract' collection. If I don't get time there are some Headshock moments I can use but after playing Beaubourg for several days now, I feel inspired to sit down and just rattle something off.

Having thoughts again about selling a few things including the CS30, Dark Time and maybe Morpheus which I haven't had time to use. Frankly, I'd rather have the forthcoming Rossum Morpheus filter.


Got my Prodigy out, treated it to Space reverb, discovered territory even a sync-mofidied Minimoog doesn't go. Excellent day except Pat away. Beer, pizza, this

I did a new track. I think we now have Exo3.

Update - we do! Picko mastered it too, which is well cool of him. Means it's had proper ears listen, which I value.

It also turns out that even a Minimoog with sync doesn't negate the need for a Prodigy. Hey ho. Got it out again, SH-101 tucked away. For now.
