The Itsuwari Island Incident Part 2 (Korg MS-20 dark ambient droning soundscape)

Though I didn't post it on weeklyBeats.com. Last week I did a noise, ambient drone with my new Roland System-8 hardware synthesizer. Not sure if I liked, or not. I wanted to push into direction this VST in a box doesn't usually. Take it out of its comfort zone, if you will. If you're interested you can check part I here:

This week I did a similar style noisy, ambient drone. Only with an authentic analog synth, the Korg MS-20mini. So I could hear how the Roland software synth stacks up against it. In my experience the MS-20 'fizzes' a bit more. It sounds rougher, and rawer. Which is what I expected. Not that the System-8 is a bad synth, not at all. To my ears it's just not quite analog sounding. That's all.

Yeah this sounds really warm and fuzzy, almost sunlit somehow
