At Long Last...
From the original Analog Industries archive. Some links and images from that era no longer resolve.
Only four short years in the making, the debut RT60 album is now available at Bandcamp, for pay-what-you-want, minimum $5.
I’m not going to go at length in to the process of this album, because there are already about half a dozen posts here on that very subject. Suffice it to say that if you like analog synths, this is none more analog. The equipment list is somewhat staggering, so it’s easiest to say “all of it.” It was recorded to analog tape, just for the icing on the anachronism cake.
This is also the first release that I’m involved with that has vocals in quite some time. (I believe “The Devil His Due” is the last one, when I was in my “Jesus, I’m getting old. I better get on with ripping off Tom Waits” phase, c. 2007.) Granted, 100% of the vocals are through a vocoder, but still…
Anyhow, hope you like it. We’re recording the follow-up in June.

Really well made - sounds fantastic. Nice work!
I thought you hated vocoders and that's why you won't turn 914 into one...
Very nice indeed. Downloading now...

Congrats on the release! After dipping in all tracks for 4 to 5 seconds I bought the album moments ago.
Wow, you dropped this on a dark day! I respect the choice.
I'm excited about this. Will buy.
Any chance for a vinyl release? Or are you waiting until there's another session to combine them? The whole RT60 analog/tactility vibe seems suited for vinyl. It's too bad that small runs are so expensive!
"Unsuspected Sounds" visits the turntable often in my house.

Sounds excellent!
We're going to use 100% of the proceeds of this album to do a 7", which we'll record in mid-June, because we're zany like that, but there won't be a vinyl of this particular record, I don't think.
