antic604 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 That's all I needed to know, although - for those interested - there are samples in the link below: Quote After 28 years and 13 albums Eat Static are back with a new album - Last Ship to Paradise. This is the first Eat Static release that's been done entirely with modular synthesizers. Merv and Steve embrace the burgeoning underground modular movement and combined their studios with a view to pushing boundaries and exploring total creativity and control over their own sounds. They wanted to go past the normal limitations of regular analogue hardware, let alone presets and widely available plug-ins. As Merv says, “there’s no sound until you patch it up…”. As with most Eat Static releases, there’s no heed paid to genres or whether the music is uptempo or downtempo. This is perhaps the most complex and experimental release to date for the band. There was no preconceived idea or brief to work to. Last Ship to Paradise is all about the modulars, but there’s a musicality here that is often missing with modular noodlers. The challenge with modular synths is to make real music with them and add a human element. “Everything we do has to have a soul” says Merv. http://www.arabesquedistribution.com/index.php?option=com_artistavenue&task=singleCd&id=3782&Itemid=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gfp1 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 noice.... so Nov 17 release....4 more weeks ! antic man, you need to give us a break here and drop this awesome information at maximum like a week before release, the waiting makes everything worse this is what they're working with apparently... i know what some of those things are, there appears to be a keyboard and some headphones i wonder what kind of BPM's we're going to be looking at with this release... Interchill doesn't do much straightforward psy, do they?... but based on the live set Eat Static played at Ozora, they're definitely still into getting people's rumps in a rumpus edit: just listened to some of the short samples on the site... seems like it's going to be closer to the 2nd cd of Dead Planet... mature, lush, midtempo, high vibration sounds for lounging rather than aggressively flailing about... then again the samples could just be intros to the build ups and offer little indication of the final product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antic604 Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 @gfp1 Don't worry, Strontium Dogs' (Eat Static + Martian Arts) up-tempo album is coming out later still this year This one will indeed by more down-tempo / freestyle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Void Mantra Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Sounds good. 9 pounds for digital though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
