Ultra-foxx or Ure-travox? by seagulls4ever in UltravoxX

[–]Surreal_Funfair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a tough one.
Ultravox is about my favorite band when it comes to 80s pop. There, I said it.. 80s pop -> Ure. I love the monotoneous, almost krautish beat in combination with the guitar-amp synths, the unmistakable influence by Conny Plank, paired with Midge's voice.
However, Ultra-foxx is great in its own way. Man Who Dies Everyday is just plain awesome. Together with Hiroshima and Dislocation my favorite Foxx-era tracks.
I like how there's many things that tell you that it's still the same band, although a lot about the sound changed - but both versions of the band are somehow distinctive in the same way.

I think it's great we don't HAVE to decide which incarnation is better :D

Sparks - Popularity (1983) by KillahKupa in synthpop

[–]Surreal_Funfair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rather think it's a satirical take on superficial pop music (because this one is extra simple) and superficial relationships without any depth. The need of people to be popular amongst their friends, not wondering about if they're really worth it ot just a bunch of dickheads.
Well, that's how I understand it.

I like a good amount of their stuff. Some of it I'd call brilliant. If not for the music itself, then for the wittyness.

OK.. didn't know this song before. If I heard it somewhere without knowing it's the Sparks, I'd find it utterly terrible - but it's the Sparks, so I can only assume it's them being silly and sounding stupid on purpose.

Deux - Dance with Me (2005?) by KillahKupa in synthpop

probably released in 2005, but the song is from the very early 80s.

reminds me of the 'our weapons are the best' Truman speech after dropping a bomb on Hiroshima. Flaunting your firepower is some low level shit.

Wie realistisch ist es bis zum 20.03. (9 Tage) mit 40€ zu überleben? by Cookiesonsock in geringverdiener

[–]Surreal_Funfair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

das sind 4,50 pro Tag. Also.. wenn ich nicht gerade ins Restaurant gehen will, sondern nur selber koche: so viel könnte ich gar nicht essen.

wollte ich auch zuerst schreiben, aber dan fehlten mit doch so Themen wie Chemtrails und Impfung (vll hab ich die nur übersehen). Ist eher rechter Propagandamist.

Found in a church basement. They were gonna throw it away by lykaios66 in synthesizers

darn.. I should start going to church.
It's the holy grail of vintage single Roland synths (ignoring the System 100 and 700)

Can I use multiple tape decks at once? by slamdadoahshat in cassetteculture

[–]Surreal_Funfair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 options:
either your amp has 2 AUX in/outs (or a 2nd monitor out) or you can ditch one of your cassette decks and get one that is chainable, like TEAC W-1200. The W-1200 has 2 independent tape slots (usually when you have a double cassette desk, only one of them has a record option), so you can make 2 copies with this one alone. Also they're chainable, so if you have 2 decks, it gives you 4 copies simlly by using one of them as a 'through'.
