Artificial Disco - Is This For Real?

I recently put out this album featuring some of the more funky stuff I've been working on. It's got some big beat vibes, some psychedelic trumpet, and I'm actually singing on one of those things, against all better judgement.

ahh I adore this entire thing! tons of fun 

gonna go check out the rest of your stuff now, thanks for sharing =] 

the tune with the vocals is fun. most people hate the silly vocals in cylob or dmx krew's tunes but i feel the opposite. 

I like the noisey drums is this all done itb ?

Is that you singing or are those samples ?

Thanks! I have a soft spot for the Talking Heads and the Human League, so I sort of had that in mind when making it.

Most of it is produced on an MPC1000 and recorded on my Zoom r24 recorder so at least the samples have gone through and collected a little dust on the way. Track 1 and 3 are actually using a sampled drum beats that I've chopped up. Is This For Real? uses drums from a recording of my own band from a few years ago and Disco Schnitzel is using a sample from Franki Valli's Grease (but don't tell anyone!).

Those Vibert leads  scratches the same itch as certain Kerrier or Wagon Christ tunes. 

(my fav is Chromatic Frustration)

Love this one! A great collection of tracks that cover a wide swath of styles- but always something invokes an instant head nod. Fantastic!

This is sick, I wanna hear you make a funky space opera themed album now.. will def take this along to roadtrips this summer!

The intro to Every Direction At Once reminds me of Airflow and the vocals remind me of the guy in Regina

Yeah I can hear that I think.
