in sync - the storm / warm - fortune8 records - vinyl

New Copy

Genre: Techno / Electro - Classics

Quoting Lee Purkis aka In Sync: 'This is the first and last repress of an out and out classic. 'Storm' was the first In Sync release on Irdial-Discs and has always been the most requested 12' in their vast catalogue, now selling for upwards of 50 on eBay etc. Widely regarded as one of the best Techno records ever to be released from this island, it's a proof that sometimes less can manifest itself as so much more. This is a highly limited edition. Only 600 copies will be manufactured, 300 of which will come on clear vinyl. There are only 4 instruments in the track - all Roland. 2 SH-101s, 1 TR-808 and 1 TR-909. There was no hardware sequencer either - everything was synched using the drum machine triggers. The notes were recorded on the SH-101 onboard sequencers, so the tune was very limited. Also, one of the SH-101s was not working properly. I could not record the same note twice in the sequencer for some reason. You can't really set up a more basic studio than I used for that track. The track was a production nightmare in reality. I am surprised it ever made it to vinyl. There is tape noise on the recording where the cassette deck level was way to low. But....it does sound like rain. It all went wrong but ended up right it seems' .. Limited release on see through vinyl, Well recommended!
