mcbpete Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 You need to try some u-he stuff my dear :) (actually Arturia's equivalent in that guide is pretty darn good too, and those Soundtoys and Valhalla plugins are just essential!)

Like when I hear someone do polynomial c on a 101 through a quadraverb I dont think "that sounds shit, aphex is such a genius, for making it sound good". I think "that melodies dead simple, but fuck it's lush. Aphex is such a genius". Those plugin demos are shit mate. I meant what I said.

donquixote Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Just to clarify just in case anyone thinks I'm some cunt hardware purist. I ain't saying software doesn't sound good. I am saying part on SAW2s charm is the way the hardware is used. Same as you couldn't do Alva Noto's music with a 101. Different instruments. Different uses.

mcbpete Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 It's definitely recommended for the huge range of synths you get with it - Imo it also has the most accurate dx7 emulation out there at the moment too Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide all signatures I haven't eaten a Wagon Wheel since 07/11/07... ilovecubus.co.uk - 25ml of mp3 taken twice daily.

Time Tourist Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Only problem I have with the album is that it's too long. I almost never listen to it in its entirety because of that. Lichen is one of the most beautiful pieces of music there is. Mold is also a great track off the album, those voices are just so unsettling but at the same time soothing. Sampled those voices for a notification ringtone for my agenda Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/96654-nts-playing-saw2-in-its-entirety-for-25th-anniversary/page/3/#findComment-2702892 Share on other sites More sharing options...

njk84 Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Wow. 25 years. I hated it at first. Found it dull after the much livelier 85-92. How wrong I was. It’s grown to be one of my favourite records. Definitely my most played. It’s an album for any mood, any season. Conceptually, aesthetically, a work of art. I obviously adore the melodic pieces like Cliffs (#1) and Rhubarb (#3), but I’ve grown to love the foreboding tracks almost as much over the years. Tree (#10) and Grass (#5) are both great accompaniments to a walk in the woods. Spots (#21) is creepy as hell when played on headphones in a darkened room. So many emotions spread across this great album. Parallel Stripes (#14) is perhaps my current favourite (changes weekly). Just pure, floating-at-the-edge-of-the-universe bliss. I once heard the album described as being like a trek across a barren alien landscape, in which you occasionally come across these beautiful, walled gardens. Always loved that analogy.
