"Clip City" [mp3 removed]. This analog drum machine (the blue thing below) is so punchy puffs of air come from the speaker; unfortunately I have no digital recorder that will capture the full bass. So I went for a gritty "I did it at home" sound--lots of hiss, hum, and clipping, hence the title. This has a slightly menacing mood, at least until the Sidstation comes in. [Update--the tune has been re-recorded and reposted. I made separate tracks and subtracted "clipboard noise" on each one--what a concept--and then remixed it, eliminating most of the extraneous noise and eponymous clipping, except for a few bad patches. I also softened the Sid.] [Update 2: re-recorded again, and this time eliminated the clipping but at the cost of reduced volume. It's all there--you just have to "play it loud," as they were always saying on '60s rock records.]
"Tasteful Triphop" [mp3 removed]. The flip side of "Clip City"--a smooth rhythm track with lots of resampling, designer bleeps, and more of that spectral delay sound. This could be a car commercial.
Update: "TT" was remixed and reposted in 2009.
