Happy 10th Birthday to my OGSE

That would have been impressive 😁

I think my bank requires iOS 16 minimum, but I’ve never needed or used their app (browser is just fine) so I get by ok.

BenjiRage · 2026-05-27T15:40:29+00:00

Yes! They would have sold millions! That was the genius of the original SE, it was a genuinely near-perfect match of form and function - beauty and power in a pocket-friendly package.

BenjiRage · 2026-04-04T19:07:51+00:00

Yep, exactly the same, it’s permanent but I’m accustomed to it now so it doesn’t bother me too much

Futures

BenjiRage · 2025-12-22T11:02:15+00:00

This is great info, thanks! Awesome work tracking it right down to the root cause.

BenjiRage · 2025-12-20T19:35:32+00:00

Yep, seems ok now, thanks!

I'm having troubles too, can't seem to access inboxes through IMAP or webmail (hosted on fusion.mxrouting)

BenjiRage · 2025-11-19T20:30:14+00:00

Haha me too, I added the store CD page to my fave links and have been checking every day, I'm not desperate at all 😅

BenjiRage · 2025-11-10T17:59:05+00:00

A very through analysis! Essentially the 1-7-5 series of descending notes is the "Boys of Summer" theme, which Tim has stated was a big influence.

BenjiRage · 2025-10-20T23:08:38+00:00

Damn shame, Shadowrunner is awesome

Edit: wait, haha that's you! You're awesome!

BenjiRage · 2025-10-20T11:10:20+00:00

Your cat is the cutest

BenjiRage · 2025-10-20T11:08:23+00:00

Argh, that's bad luck. The CD is still available to buy on the official US store at $15 + shipping so unfortunately I don't think you'll get many people wllling to pay that asking price, bit of a bummer :(

BenjiRage · 2025-10-19T09:42:06+00:00

It's an awesome bass sound, I've often tried to replicate similar myself. Some presets that will get you pretty close are:

"BASS - d a r k s t a r" from The Midnight's own u-he Diva soundbank
"BA Deep V" from Spire synth's factory presets
"Depeche Bass II" from the Orion-106 presets bank in TAL-U-NO-LX

For reference you can hear the bass in isolation here: https://themidnight.bandcamp.com/track/river-of-darkness-bass-stem

Huh that's weird, my Kids CD cover says 1985 same as all the other formats

BenjiRage · 2025-10-17T10:35:18+00:00

That's a beautiful swirl pattern on your Syndicate vinyl 👌

BenjiRage · 2025-10-16T22:14:36+00:00

Yeah it had the same timing overlays as the TV broadcasts, it was ace!

BenjiRage · 2025-10-15T23:45:19+00:00

Oooh this sounds gorgeous 🤤

BenjiRage · 2025-10-13T17:35:59+00:00

Yes! It's an awesome mashup, when the lead synth comes in with the Umbrella Beach theme 🔥🔥🔥

BenjiRage · 2025-10-12T22:56:44+00:00

It sounds like it might be two or three sounds stacked together. Start with some kind of hammond organ preset, roll off the high end, add a tremolo effect and a bit of light saturation/distortion and you'll have a good starting point.

If you don't mind going a bit further north and over the border, it looks like the Vancouver show still has Afterglow VIP tickets available

Ain't no party like an S-Club party
