It’s a simple but beautiful acoustic song with a strong sense of nostalgia. Maybe I’m biased because his band The Llama farmers were a big deal to me.
Ok to start, this may be a stretch but I have obsessed over this album for the past past 3 years and I think everyone deserves to hear it. Primitive Radio Gods’ “White Hot Peach” is a lofi psychedelic alternative rock album for a lack of better descriptors. I personally think this record is a mix of Elliot smith and Tv girl in the vocal style and mixing. I also get a bit of red house painters in some of the influences but all that being said this album speaks for itself and I haven’t heard much like it. I really implore you to check out the Australian CD version with 3 extra songs bringing the total to 14 songs in roughly 50 minutes. I truly love this album and if anyone else were to find as much joy out of it as I have that would be awesome. The overall atmosphere and variety in this album makes it all the more entertaining and catchy. I feel as though compared to their other works this really stands out and feels as though they put everything into this one album - the promotion and publishing just wasn’t there as it was for their first record rocket on MTV but I think this deserves 100 times the credit they were given. This album means so much to me and I hope and pray they get their overdue credit as a band, as musicians and as innovators. Thanks.
Was going through some boxes of my family’s old CDs in my basement to add some to my own personal collection and amongst the ones I took was this, I didn’t realize until a few weeks later upon playing it for the first time that there’s almost no online record of this band even existing save for a single article from 2006 and an unavailable Amazon listing, it’s on no streaming services and isn’t recognized by any music identification apps, the album absolutely shreds so I uploaded it to YouTube for my friends but I’ll link it below so more people get to hear it, if you know anything at all about these guys pleaseee let me know ^^

This concept album was an opportunity to use almost at random 10 chosen soft synths in different combinations, no less than 2 at once, no more than 5.
"Musicalions" is another term for the unknown entities at work when in specific conditions, the power of 2 or more synthesizers are harnessed together.
Their presence is usually detected by sudden, rapid burts or pauses, sheer intensity, unusual beauty and experimental musical arrangments.
This late night musical "channelinning" procured the raw material for the album. Each track was performed, edited and produced by myself in FL Studio 20.
The soft synths used were:
Sugar Bytes Aparillo
Sugar Bytes Unique
Roland XV-5080
Roland Pro Mars
Roland System 100
Spectrasonics Omnisphere2
Spectrasonics Trilian
Traktion F'EM
Image Line Harmor
most tracks were tweaked extensively on the go during recordings to keep the sound unpredictable.
A big thumbs up to the developpers of these incredible instruments!!!
I hope this is but a start in the production of such tools, without you, there would be no "Musicalions" tonight:)
Looking for an obscure 1980s Star Trek comedy song: "Twenty Years of Pointy Ears" by Sid Terror
I'm trying to track down a recording/lyrics for an extremely obscure Star Trek song I heard at a science-fiction convention in the mid-1980s. I believe the song is "Twenty Years of Pointy Ears" by Sid Terror. I've since discovered that it appears to have been released on the 1987 independent album Star Trek Comedy: The Unofficial Album, apparently on Vince Emery Productions (VE-02-LE), track B3.
I don't have my original tape anymore, and I have been unable to find an audio recording or complete lyrics online. I remember quite a bit of the song. Some of the lyrics included:
"From '66 to '69, there was a show / About the starship Enterprise / As we all know..." and later:
"Paramount told them 'go to hell' / Though they found Star Trek toys sold well / But there's no money in sci-fi films today. / The highest grossing movie in the world is called Star Wars..."
There were also spoken comedy bits along the lines of: "It's making money! Quick! Make another one!" I also remember a section about Sulu and something involving "Genesis is a b*mb that's lots of fun/ Unlike Star Trek 1"
Does anyone remember this recording, own the LP/tape, have a digitized copy, or know where I could hear it? I'm especially interested in getting the complete lyrics.
I'm particularly hoping someone who was active in the 1980s Star Trek convention/fan scene might recognize it. It's been stuck in my head for 20 years and it's driving me crazy!
