ok, my bit as well. I've been in the music industry (on the performing side)
for years, though only as a hobby now. One thing I've noticed over the years
is that there's nothing quite like the warmth of a growly moog synth. The
digital synths are great, and they have samples of the analog stuff, but
listen to a true analog patch and the same patch from a digital sample.
There's something missing in the digital output. "Humanity" may be as good a
word as any. "Real" also comes to mind. Digital stuff just isn't as 'fat'
and will never be. Those analog patches on O3 are partly what makes the
album so good. Pure digital bands leave much to be desired. The fact that
SS uses real percussion and real guitar adds a "feel" that makes them sound
vibrant and alive.
Records, though I don't agree with the allure of varying speeds, provide the
same warmth. Gav sent me an SS mix tape (nicked from Adam, I believe) that's
got some record tracks on it (along with some cracks and pops), and those
tracks do sound the best, to be quite honest. Not necessarily for their
imperfections, but for the warmth of their tones.
anyway, hope everyone is well,
regards,
Sid
