I’m here for some SICK SYNTH!! 🎶🎵💀

How’s you, Lady?!?

I just filled out the Synth Form. It was hell

hi bri!

i am well, mr. m thx!

🔱😈😱

Bring it! Happy Halloween everyone

I think both are good. I just stick with queue.

hi dude!

🦇🎃 HAPPY HALLOWEEN 🎃👻

Get yo CANDY 🍭🍫🍬❣️

Is a Halloween a special day for you mr.m? The one day a year you get to roam the streets?

I’m still busy that day. Porch light OFF. 🤣😈

A-O River!

I need these DARK VIBES rn af

I'm at a customer location. I'll have my big ears on

Keytar = total scene unity!

Guitar Synth. Truly from hell. Judas Priest "Turbo " lp I'm lookin at you....

But prolly not able to chat much, lest I get the stinkeye from the boss

Keytar is from the cool part of hell.

Haha that makes sense, lights off sounds more like ya 💀

Hi and bye, Stevie P!!

hey colin! hey stevie p!

I’m ADORBS, the_dude!

nice priest reference, bri!

yes KEYTAR!

happy halloween, all! let's get the party started!

this is a nice start to the show!!

Ha. A not so nice reference. But... the Turbo lp gave us the Turbo lp tour which in turn gave us the doc Heavy Metal Parking Lot. So there is balance in hell

hahahaha

yes i need to watch that again

HMPL

sometimes peple just think too much synth is its own special brand of hell

Synth and guitar do indeed form hell. They form it out of little imaginary notes

What would you say to Rob Halford if you saw him? 'I'd probably jump his bones'

Black Sabbath "Who Are You". Some thick repetitive synth. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath lp

more on this band! eleven pond, formed in 1986 and broke up in 1987. such is life.

https://www.darkentriesrecords.com/bands/eleven-pond/

That deep Moog note in ELP "Lucky Man" from the depths of synth hell. In a good way. Love that one. And the high notes & octaves Keith does there

love sabbath

Lovin the tunes 🎶

hey happy halloween, banksy!

I've obviously looked at the album art of and listened to sabbath bloody sabbath tons but only recently got the actual vinyl record, and there's a lot more going on in that cover than I've noticed, it's pretty metal

and thank you!

glad you are enjoying

Happy Halloween 👻 You’re welcome! And thank you!

And agreed Banksy, did you get enough synthetic recs for more than one show DJ e?

enjoying this New To Me Band! Thanks, DJ Esoterica!

Haha. Glitches

Oops

Glitch Music

DJ E - if you have space for a request I’d love to hear “In Every Dream Home A Heartache“ by Roxy Music

how about now

I was suggesting to the_dude he list some of the bands/artists here in the chat that he’s gonna send in the email. Instant gratification!

Nope

noooo!!!!!

can you hear music?

Music is back

We’re BACK

weird

sorry guys

No worries

It happened during the last mic break. You didn’t see my posts, I guess.

This synth is killer

I deleted them when it stabilized and we could hear you again.

right, banksy!

We're back! And I had a few selections from paradox obscur, they're pretty good

okay thanks, mr. m

Another flower of a Sonic Bloom playlist, Ms. Esoterica. I'm involved (read, buried!) in a major home writing office cleanout & reorganization. It's good to have the musical inspiration -- or just plain distraction -- in the midst of the grind.

Not sure if you saw my other comment DJ E, but if you happen to have space for a request I’d love to hear “In Every Dream Home A Heartache“ by Roxy Music

oh thanks, banksy. i will try to get that on for you.

hi, richard! thanks. i appreciate that!

and wink!

Oh no rush/obligation lol I just wanted to make sure my comment wasn’t lost in the glitch

Thank you for your consideration

And I appreciate today's sounds & vibes!

aw thanks, richard!

We’re looking for you, Rob!

actually that was rob's selection, looking for you! what are you a mindreader, Mr. m??

Esoterica, you added it to the playlist!

I am a mind reader tho 🔮

haha

“Going out to Rob!” is right there in the playlist! Haha

oh ha

now i get it

COCTEAU TWINS 💖

BAUHAUS 💟

Where's Mr. Obscure? He's big on cocteau twins

Weird my player had to be refreshed, was a song behind

YESSS 🖤 Thanks so much DJ E!

You forgot to give yourself a shout out

Roxy is so dark. Great show!

A classic

oh, she dead

@ Alexander Banksy I'd never heard “In Every Dream Home A Heartache“ by Roxy Music, thanks for the request. Awesome lyrics, e.g. "Open plan living / Bungalow ranch style" ... and "Inflatable doll / My role is to serve you ..."

Loving the show today, happy to catch it!

hi krista! thanks!

i was just thinking to sound gloomy and goth-y singers have to have crazy low vocal theatrics

adds tothe meance

menace, even

@Richard - thanks! Those lyrics are killer. Glad you enjoyed it! That track always deeply inspires me for some reason

Lol she died. Great tone though, reminds me a bit of John maus

This track is really great too. Never heard it before

Yes Maus vibes for sure Dude

Clock DVA are an industrial, post-punk, and EBM group from Sheffield, England. They formed in 1978 by Adolphus "Adi" Newton and Steven "Judd" Turner. Along with contemporaries Heaven 17, Clock DVA's name was inspired by the Russian-influenced Nadsat of Anthony Burgess's A Clockwork Orange.[1] Dva is Russian for "two".

Nifty info @Brian D

Brian D had very specific guitar musician ears! Cheers to the Big Ears!

on Severed Heads: Severed Heads were an Australian electronic music group founded in 1979 as Mr and Mrs No Smoking Sign. The original members were Richard Fielding and Andrew Wright, who were soon joined by Tom Ellard. Fielding and Wright had both left the band by mid-1981 with Ellard remaining the sole consistent member for the rest of the band's existence. Throughout the next decade, several musicians joined Severed Heads' ranks, including Garry Bradbury, Simon Knuckey, Stephen Jones and Paul

Just Paul?? At end of notes…

Very cool

FAD GADGET 💜

(From wiki) RIP Frank Tovey. Francis John Tovey (8 September 1956 – 3 April 2002), known also by his stage name Fad Gadget, was a British avant-garde electronic musician and vocalist. He was a proponent of both new wave and early industrial music, fusing together a unique blend of pop structured songs mixed with mechanised experimentation. As Fad Gadget, his music was characterised by the use of synthesizers in conjunction with sounds of found objects, including drills and electric razors. His

agreed, mr. m

YESSS 🖤 Fad Gadget! You keep reading my mind DJ E!

#mindmeld

Search results of spam call phone #s give crazy random string of text in the search results. Today's offering "tables break the fast broken because of mold? Before that we follow that school pic. Full tank shot. Work til you turned zombie? " there's more ha... but i think that last part is great!

It was really important info on renewing the zombie auto warranty acc to the voicemail

Not sure I’ve seen or paid attention to the Random Strings Of Texts. I’m missing out. *work til you turned zombie* 🧟‍♂️ 🧟‍♀️ 🧟

Oh man perfect

Haven’t heard this in ages 🖤

oh yeah! love my ebm: Nitzer Ebb (/ˈnaɪtsər ɛb, ˈnɪt-/) are a British EBM group formed in 1982 by Essex school friends Vaughan "Bon" Harris (programming, synthesizers, drums, vocals), Douglas McCarthy (vocals), and David Gooday (drums).

for the non-indoctrinated (yet)

Neil Young and Crazy Horse Live From a Rusted Out Garage tour 86-87 featured Billy Talbot playing keytar bass for some songs . One of which was a revamped (vamp heh) Mr Soul. I remember thinking that was so weird and cool at same time.

@brian d that sounds amazing

Dirty Harry can quit looking at me like that, I’m always in The Sonic Bloom chat. This punk is feelin lucky! 🖤💀

Cuz Billy is a very low key (npi) dude. You don't really think keytar when it comes to Billy

nitzer ebb though i mispronounced. bummer

night-zer

I’ve never been confident pronouncing their name lol

Ya the Trans lp was only 3-4 years old at that point. So the electro-80s Neil period was still featured a bit in the set

well, me neither lol. but wiki told me: Nitzer Ebb (/ˈnaɪtsər ɛb, ˈnɪt-/)

reissued by RRE records: these guys started in the 80s, Front 242 is a Belgian electronic music group that came into prominence during the 1980s. Pioneering the style they called electronic body music, they are a profound influence on the electronic and industrial music genres.

Is that Kenneth Copeland being sampled?

Saw the release and I would have been surprised if this was a recent release, it's cool!

Do we like evolution control committee around here?

yeah, me, too, dude

@dude not familiar with Evolution Control Committee

idk banksy

I was weirded out by the “New”. Internet says FRONT 242 are still active!? Hallelujah!

They have the internet on computers now

... and phones

Oh wow

Check out the track ' I want a cookie' by them, that ones fun. Like this but more remix and sampling, less original synth maybe?

Homer paraphrased ha

Lol bri, I picked up on it

this is what they used in the song jersey shore opener right??

just that effect...

Negativeland vibes

okay i watched a little of the jersey shore. do you still like me?

Lol yes

from wiki: Oppenheimer Analysis (OA) is Andy Oppenheimer and Martin Lloyd. They first met at the 1979 World Science Fiction Convention in Brighton, England. They quickly became good friends, sharing an interest in the work of David Bowie, electronic music and early synthesizer bands such as the Human League and Soft Cell.
