  1. Dont bother with Arturia vst stuff it's not quite in the same league now sound wise. However I use their hardware with C.V out with my modular I'm building. Best soft synths I have used are stuff like Rob papen blue 2 and the Spire synth is also amazing. The korg legacy collection has always been good although getting old now. Beware with synths like Spire and Serum as some of them are getting pretty CPU intensive if you are using them alongside other software DAW etc.

  2. I was like WTF is this ceefax music when I first heard Weather Report. But over the years I find a few of Jacos stuff just the essence of 70s weirdness which is what I love about him. River people sounds so cool and the stuff he did with Little Beaver is awesome. No one who doesnt play bass has heard of him though!

  3. If it's just sticky keys it's dead easy just be careful. Most synths of this age used two silver coated rails to determine notes using control voltage which is then sent to the oscillators. You can clean them easily with isopropyl alcohol or switch cleaner and gently rub with cotton buds. Put switch cleaner into knobs and faders as well and twiddle them back and fourth to stop dead spots and crackles. I build analog modules from schematics and these synths are tougher than you think.

  4. I just watched AIR recorded live at Sydney opera house and Nick Godin is definitely a bit of a dark one.Very very groovy bass playing not to mention the other stuff he does. I saw them live in Cambridge mid 2000s and never noticed.

  5. Cest Chic I wore this old vinyl copy out I bought in 1994. I bought it from an old crumbling record shop in Blaydon it still had the plastic and original price tag on it. Bernard and the band were just the pinnacle of tight funky playing. I always thought to myself why does no one realise how great these guys were. 20 years later everybody finally realised. Guess daft punk must have been thinking the same.
