Do Analog Synths Belong In Trance Music?

Advocating for the Moog (and other analogs) in a genre mostly known for using digital synths

I think it'd be pretty rad to hear more Sub37 and Messenger sounds in uplifting trance

What you all think?

Didube - Gudauri

How much are they charging for a one-way marshrutka ride from Didube to Gudauri right now?

Planning to head up there as soon as the weather is halfway decent for some acclimatization hiking/climbing before rolling out to Svaneti, and I only know what they charge for the Stepantsminda marshrutka. Hoping to just need to pull out the exact cash I need for both rides to and from Gudauri, and not have to wrangle with making change or asking a lot of questions early in the morning

Dzudzuana Cave, Tchiatura

Some photos from inside the Dzudzuana Cave over near Tchiatura. Google Maps says it's permanently closed, but that didn't stop us

The signage is all still there, and there's still a decent path that leads out and away from the mine area. Be careful going up the final slopes to the cave entrance, there's running water, wet rock, and moss, and it can be a little treacherous. But only a little

If you're passing through Tchiatura to check out the Katskhi Pillar, put on your hiking shoes and long pants and check it out!

Oof, I did a ton of patch design on the Iridium last week at Superbooth and now I'm fiending for one so bad

This isn't me pleading for you all to try and talk me out of it. I was having a ball blazing through making difference dance genre patches, and this thing is like a Blofeld on steroids. I could do some awesome work with and on this thing. I know I want one, and I know where exactly it'd fit in the context of my music, studio, etc

Just really wish it were in a price range I could swing right now 😅😅😅

Guess I gotta listen to the angry little Scottish man in my head screaming IF YA DON'T FINISH YOUR BLOFELD YA CAN'T HAVE AN IRIDIUM, and get crackin' on some more Blofeld banks
