"Cars" was released in the US in February of 1980, just over 40 years ago. That song is more responsible for my obsession with synthesizers than any other. In particular, the Polymoog Vox Humana preset used on the Model 280a which remains one of the greatest sounds I've ever heard. It also has the ability to immediately transport me back in time. Alex Ball released his Polymoog video just in time to celebrate the 66th birthday of none other than Gary Numan. You can watch that below. I've mentioned before how synthesizers sounded like the future to me and they......

Gary Numan "Love Hurt Bleed" Remix Contest Recently, Gary Numan judged a remix contest for his new song "Love Hurt Bleed." I entered a Rodin Coil remix for fun and enjoyed working with his original stem files which sounded fantastic. While not a winner (I had no expectations of such), I did get over 400 plays and some positive feedback. My mix could have been a lot better. I did slow it down and make it a bit heavier with a nasty vibe. There were some great entries and this is my favorite out of the remixes. Here is the......

The Replicon Project: A Tribute To Gary Numan I have been extremely busy the last couple of years working on music. There are at least eight different recording projects in various stages of development. I recently produced and released The Replicon Project. It is a collection of eighteen songs inspired by Gary Numan. The Replicon Project is a collaboration featuring musicians from the United States, Canada, Australia, England, France, and Scotland. The Replicon Project is available as a free download at BandCamp. Rather than paying us for the music, we would love for you to please consider making a donation......
