yes or no

This week I could not find any time to complete new material, so I had to get back to my old DAT tape archive with recordings from 1992. There was this song, I rediscovered in two different versions. One version was with Juno60 manually played along the dry beat and the other was without that organsound, but with lot of reverb and additional synthparts. YES, I tried to mix them together, because I could NOT decide which one was the better version. But it did not work, because of phasing problems. The only solution was the panning of both tracks on 34 L/R, so the stereoimage was still present, but the different versions could be presented for the listener, if the focus on the left or right speaker would be the only possible appropriate approach.
The instruments I used was the sequential circuits drumtraks, with 8 bit eproms, I burned with an Oberheim Prommer, a sequential circuits sixtrack, Juno 60 and the Prommer as a sampler for the flutesample I had to record with a microphone.
The music I liked in the early 90ies was electronic music, SOURCE and WARP RECORDS. In my complete naive thinking, I was programming crazy stuff in my bedroom with the equipment I had those days and tried to emulate Autechre or Squarepusher, but I did not know what I was exactly doing. Here is a psydo drum and bass rhythm emerging from time to time and some nice synthsounds of the sixtrack I miss. I think it is a classic, though.
