Speaking of vide-games and computer music, et cetera. Has anyone else heard "The 8-bit Construction Set" on Beige? One side is loaded with Commodore locked grooves, and the flip is Atari. Hard to digest in one take, but if you enjoy listening to airplane's drifting along for several minutes, tanks shooting at other tanks, and odd sound effects, this record is definitely for you. I personally enjoy the fact that these locked grooves are funny, nostalgic and will fit nicely in between tracks during a set. "The 8-Bit Construction" set is not just a series of quirky video-game pops and loops, it unfolds into what may be an entirely new genre for experimental electronics. Even though there are more locked grooves than tracks on this 12inch, i still find it neat to hear sounds that would otherwise remain locked in our subconscious. I need to find that ancient "Megamania" Atari game! ; ) Pietro. np -- Mira Calix "One On One" ___________________________________________ p i e t r o d a s a c c o a u d i o - n i m b u s c j a m 91.5 fm saturdays from midnight - 2am EST 9745 lynngrove cr, windsor, ontario, n8r 1b8, canada g r o o v e s m a g a z i n e www.groovesmag.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

. The 8-Bit Construction Set: atari vs commodore 12" (Beige 04) Yes this is indeed a fun record. Retro bleep-heavy electro-electronica infected with atari & commodore sounds & samples. We mixed it in twice on last night's Inaudible show. But, unfortunately, I think this release is white-label only at this point with the full release coming soon. Supposedly there is a video, t-shirts, and a special new website forthcoming as well all taylored to this release. The release also comes with a great promo card decorated with ASCII art. How DOS of them....

I forgot to mention that you can check out Beige Records at www.beigerecords.com. And here are some details from this rather odd slab of wax.. "The 8-Bit Construction Set" Atari vs. Commodore ~ format ~ samples / locked grooves / track / data cassette program. There's some other info that i'm not too sure about, but may be interesting to some folks here: "NOTE: For data cassette program operation, dub to cassette and follow load instructions inscribed on inside of record (Atari or Commodore computer with data cassette drive necessary)."
