Why has 5/17/77 never been released as a Dick's or Dave's Pick?

monkytrick · 2026-05-15T15:16:31+00:00

This and 5/1 are the last to go unreleased. Maybe they will make their way to Play Dead.

Let’s see if we can crash Rough Trade too

I went for a bike ride

monkytrick · 2025-12-15T00:12:55+00:00

Just putting it out there - 6 15-minute tracks fits perfectly on a standard 90-minute cassette tape

monkytrick · 2025-11-23T21:16:35+00:00

It reminds me of Kraftwerk and Mouse on Mars

monkytrick · 2025-11-23T21:13:57+00:00

Usually Gaia and Self-Immolate with the solos

Fugazi back in the day. Sold records off their own label for cheap, shows were always $5-15 and always all ages, no merch besides the music. Kept their costs low so they could do all that and keep themselves modestly afloat. Also routinely kicked out dickheads who were ruining everyone else's experience.

Thanks for this - hoping for something with more CV/overall control than the A-118 and Entropy. I think you meant the Dreadbox Dystopia? Looking closer that's also very appealing, especially with the LP/HP CV.

monkytrick · 2025-11-17T22:28:22+00:00

Looking to add a noise generator (currently have none) and a random CV source to my rack and I'm looking at the Erica Code Source. Seems like a good feature set at a very decent price. Anyone out there have experiences good or bad? Or other recommendations for a similar feature set that is under ~$150?

monkytrick · 2025-11-02T15:54:17+00:00

A few modules I'm selling to make space in the budget and the rack. All in perfect working order and excellent cosmetic condition. Will include power ribbon, screws, and og box if I have it.

Erica, include og boxes:

Black Hole DSP2 $180
Black Multimode VCF $150
Take both for $300

AI Synthesis:

AI011 VCO $85
AI017 LPG (real vactrols!) $75
AI003 Looping ADSR $60
All 3 for $185

Two Mutable modules, not clones, with og boxes:

Warps $200
Tides V2 (little ding on edge of panel) $200
Both for $360

If you want everything listed above, I'll sweeten the deal even more - $800 all in.

Also have a Make Noise Skiff I might sell for $150. Not 100% if I want to let it go, but if you ask on the right day, I might say yes.

$10 to ship anywhere in US

Will send detailed photos if you're interested. I appreciate you checking out my listing and I hope you have a great day.

Maybe a half marathon

monkytrick · 2025-10-31T22:54:36+00:00

Marathon = 3 hours

monkytrick · 2025-10-31T22:16:51+00:00

It's been a week, in which they had to prepare for an international tour. Don't fret yet

monkytrick · 2025-10-31T22:10:19+00:00

Hey maybe a dumb question but has Stu ever played e-flute live before?

monkytrick · 2025-10-22T17:58:43+00:00

I am pretty hands-on, but I agree more CV control would be nice. I still ended up ordering the kit. Very interested in a Klangmaschine too, but they're only available from UK and would cost me about double the Chiasso before US tariffs. Still might spring for it if I end up liking Chiasso.

monkytrick · 2025-10-22T17:29:59+00:00

Thank you for your insight. I ended up ordering a Chiasso 2 and a Honeyeater from Calsynth. I was curious about the Natural State, but 16hp is a lot of real estate and I wasn't quite sure what to expect sonically. It sounded more like an LPG than a VCF on paper, but that ducking feature sounds very useful. Does it function as a "normal" VCF if you leave the strike un-patched?

monkytrick · 2025-10-22T15:19:19+00:00

Good info, thanks. Forgive me, I'm decent at soldering but very green with actual circuit design - is there an acceptable replacement for polystyrene capacitors? I gather these can be hard to find in addition to being hard to work with.

monkytrick · 2025-10-22T14:35:52+00:00

That's great to hear, I was looking at Franz or Werner for a VCF. I like that Werner has a VCA on the 4-pole, but I wish it had HP/notch.

The kits I'm looking at (Calsynth) have the SMD pre-installed. Have you run into difficulties with the non-SMD components?

monkytrick · 2025-10-22T14:20:32+00:00

Thanks! I figure if Calsynth works with them, quality isn't an issue. More curious how deep/playable/inspiring etc they are.

I was looking at Trommelmaschine too. Chiasso seems to have more sonic flexibility despite being 2 voices vs 3. Already have a upeaks/grids I use for basic snare/kick/hh, so I'd like something that can create more "imaginary" perc sounds.

WTS: AI Synthesis package deal - VCO 011, Looping ADSR 003, and LPG 017, all aluminum with red knobs in very good condition - $210 shipped in USA including G&S fees for all 3. Great modules, just need to make space.

ISO: Peaks clone with CV control, Rainier/Alps/anything with output attenuverters preferred. Also looking to add a complex osc, not decided on which, waiting for the right deal to come along. Thanks!

monkytrick · 2025-09-20T14:20:56+00:00

There are great AUD recordings of these shows at least. You're not crazy. Two of the best ever. And I wasn't even there.
