can i just give this bad bitch a shoutout - she's your favourite 80s DX7 synth goodness and so much more. 16 voices, complex FM routing, blended FM and sample synthesis, takes literal data cards, has a floppy drive...this bitch is beautiful and i love her

ALBUM OF THE MONTH: DOOR IN THE WATER https://johnnyjblairsingeratlarge.bandcamp.com/album/door-in-the-water-25th-anniversary-expanded-edition …This is the recording that put me on the map; my first full-length album—then described as “a New Wave concept album.” Topically, it was inspired by a San Francisco fellowship of friends. The LP was loosely formatted after “concept albums” like PET SOUNDS (Beach Boys), LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY (Genesis), and the PRESERVATION ACT series by The Kinks. It was started in San Francisco and finished in the hilly, hipster city of Knoxville TN at a studio that The Jacksons used for a rehearsal space (they let me use their Yamaha DX7 keyboards). This was released in 1985, the record label I was signed to did near-to-nothing to promote it nor did they provide tour support. However, who knew this record would reach people across the oceans and “open doors” I couldn’t foresee? For that I am grateful.

DOOR IN THE WATER was remastered in 2010 by Scott Francis w/bonus material on the download version + live takes of my band October w/Ron Davis, Chris Haggerty, Bridget Purifoy, Anna Valdez, and Victor Valverde. I recently found vinyl copies and am signing them as people buy them. Please enjoy music that has withstood the tides of time:

I set up my vintage 80's synth for the first time in ages to play a little and the first thing my cat did was step on the Mount St. Helens button, but at least I got to watch his horrified little kitty face as an apocalyptic fart cloud descended upon my living room.

Retro synth jam using a sample of former Governor General, now senator, Michaelia Cash. Australian politics is wild.

It feels like this song was made for this machine and there's a pretty good chance that it was actually composed on this machine. The composer of Outrun, Hiroshi Kawaguchi, still works on music for Sega today, most recently on Sonic Fronteirs. I figured I could find that information pretty easily and sure enough, I found this great interview where Kawaguchi outright says he composed the sound-track for pratically-another-outrun game, Hang-On.

Great interview, but it doesn't specifically clarify if Outrun was composed on a DX-7. Considering the similarity of the FM soundchips that were likely in an outrun cabinet to the FM Synth in a DX-7 it wouldn't be surprising. Outrun was also the first game soundtrack with sampled guitars?

In this dream, I was in a small house in a suburban area in the middle of the night, while a bunch of cars were going by.
