I won't write a lengthy review but I will say this. I loved it! Not only is the story set in 1983 but the whole production, with just a few exceptions felt very 80s. And I say that in a - [OM-1 Cassette Tape Synthesizer](https://www.fogelberg.com/2016/07/20/om-1-cassette-tape-synthesizer/) - File this one under utterly uniquely sounding analog synthesizer.

The ten tracks I have now totals in at 65 minutes. Hmm.. I guess there's truly not something called a full length album anymore.

Most of them are more or less irrelevant today - they contain the normal stuff a young man would record from the radio and LP:s in the early 80s to mid 90s. But some actually have - [The Arturia Drum Brute](https://www.fogelberg.com/2016/10/08/the-arturia-drum-brute/) - I might get another drum machine. Just wow Arturia.

One that still holds up perfectly is REZ, originally released in 2001. What a great and addictive game that is.

Well I did a lot of them, for quite a while. You can listen to most of them here. I'll try to explain why I stopped. When I started remixing other artists it was more or less just for fun. This was back in the early - [Zzzzz](https://www.fogelberg.com/2016/09/21/zzzzz/) - So busy at work right now. When I'm back home I'm just too tired to do anything creative.

The intro is BONKERS. It's one hour of shaky cam and cut scene bonanza.

At the end you're riding bareback - [If nothing else works use an arpeggiator](https://www.fogelberg.com/2016/09/18/if-nothing-else-works-use-an-arpeggiator/) - So this track I've been working on and off for a couple of weeks kind of took off today when I introduced a sound from my Access virus. The arpeggio on this thing really is amazing. So easy to make interesting melodies. The old Virus has more or less become my go to synths for - [Weekend at last](https://www.fogelberg.com/2016/09/17/weekend-at-last/) - It's been a pretty intense week at work so I haven't really had much energy left in the evenings to do music and such.

Or not, really. Over the years I've just naturally gravitated towards the sounds I like the best. It's not so much about what company actually made the hardware. Anyway, tomorrow is 909 day and Roland will officially present some new exciting - [Today I had 12 listeners on Soundcloud](https://www.fogelberg.com/2016/09/06/today-i-had-12-listeners-on-soundcloud/) - The thing about promoting your music online is, you have to do it more or less constantly, through Facebook, Twitter, Youtube channels.. whatever.. Now it has been a while since I added something to my Soundcloud page which means the interest has more or less died down. So.. 12 listeners today. Yay! Maybe I should - [First mod on my Game Boy DMG-01](https://www.fogelberg.com/2016/09/05/first-mod-on-my-game-boy-dmg-01/) - I haven't had time to do the GBAmp3 mods yet but today I reserved an hour of my time to remove the innards of the gray/yellowed 1989 Game Boy classic and put it inside a new see-through case.

I've had quite fun tinkering with the Gameboys but those chip tunes won't really fit into the concept of the album. The last couple of times I have tried to get something done with - [QU-Bit Chord Eurorack module](https://www.fogelberg.com/2016/08/28/qu-bit-chord-eurorack-module/) - My GAS level went up a bit for this new module from QU-Bit. The Chord is a four wave oscillator with individual and summed outputs. All voices are tuned together, allowing for quick and easy sequencing of chord progressions.

(I'm not counting Jean-Michel Jarre and Klaus Schulze as those remixes were actually covers where the artists weren't involved in the project). If you know your trance music history you know that - [Outcast: Second Contact](https://www.fogelberg.com/2016/08/13/outcast-second-contact/) - Wow. Here's a game I'm really looking forward to playing. Outcast: Second Contact is a modern remake of the 1999 science fiction adventure-game Outcast. I loved and played though all of the original, which at the time had a great story, top notch voxel graphics and a live recorded orchestral score. Outcast: Second Contact will - [One Nintendo Gameboy open and ready for modification](https://www.fogelberg.com/2016/08/11/one-nintendo-gameboy-open-and-ready-for-modification/) - Today I got that special screwdriver I needed to be able to open up the Gameboy. The tool is called a Philips Triwing and it can be used to unscrew other Nintendo things as well. Alas my old original, yellowed Gameboy is now open and ready for some serious fixery.

They - [After 30 years, the reason I'm still making music](https://www.fogelberg.com/2016/08/05/after-30-years-the-reason-im-still-making-music/) - I guess this is a normal part of having a creative personality, but once in a while I kind of drift into a phase where I start to question whether this is what I really want to keep doing. Should I continue to produce new tunes or just call it quits and try something else. - [Fixing my original Nintendo Gameboy](https://www.fogelberg.com/2016/08/04/fixing-my-original-nintendo-gameboy/) - I was digging through my crates with old electronics and found my two old Gameboys, the original grey (now yellow) DMG-01 from 1989 and the newer Gameboy Color from 1998. I used them about 10 years ago when I had my latest chip tune phase. I also found the cartridge with Nanoloop 1.2. It still - [Finally it's quiet](https://www.fogelberg.com/2016/08/03/finally-its-quiet/) - I recently re-wired my studio and also decided to fix a problem that have been plaguing me for awhile - USB noise.

Technically I could do this - [More pics from Alghero](https://www.fogelberg.com/2016/07/30/more-pics-from-alghero/) - Finally here are some of my best photos taken on my iPhone 6, while visiting Sardinia.
