I love the weird chaotic energy of Tangerine Dream's early material - Alpha Centauri sounds like cosmic ritual music for alien encounters. 👽

I collect Italo disco 7" records, and Di Mi Quando by Aventura is one of my absolute favourites - it's on none of the major streaming platforms. 🇮🇹 youtu.be/UPiA3Gl26Zg

I'm really getting into Sulk by The Associates - pure 1980s madness, arguably one of the wildest pop records of the entire decade.

Many fans suspect that some of his recent album covers are AI-generated. Many also think this type of cover art is not up to his usual standards. He addressed the issue in a recent interview with Roland.

The track Exposure from The Gateway Tape on @strategictaper.bsky.social is a collaboration between myself and my Australian friend HXDK, who gave me some recordings that he had made on a vintage Buchla synthesizer - pic taken from Wikimedia Commons.

Rest in peace, Ace Frehley. It's easy to mock 'Kiss the conservative business machine' but these guys made some truly magical music together and Ace brought the spirit and the chaos, along with his super cool playing style that inspired tons of guitarists.

Synchronizing Failure off The Gateway Tape on @strategictaper.bsky.social combines a tempo-shifting synth organ loop with processed field recordings. Hidden inside is a sample from a 1970s German biker film. 🏍️

Brown Sugar - brilliant, brilliant album. Over the years it's become my favorite D'Angelo record, arguably one of the best-sounding productions of its entire decade. His passing is not easy to process.

Receive Your Punishment from The Gateway Tape is the only Phirnis track featuring old-school noise screaming and yelling. I recorded the vocals at my band's rehearsal space, with my friend Robin showing me how to set up the right distortion.

Low Visibility Concerns, from The Gateway Tape on @strategictaper.bsky.social, is mostly built from toy guitar and thumb piano. Guest musician Chorchill contributed some melodica lines to keep the whole thing from falling apart.
