Now I have the whole set. All the monotrons, original, delay and duo, and they’re all lovely.

After listening to ‘Aye’ by Martyn Bennett for a while
I wasn’t sure about this album but got it anyway. But having listened to it for the best part of 2 days I do like it. I don’t like all of it, I don’t like all the new material, but I think that some of the stuff that I haven’t heard before is really good. I’m glad I got it and I’m glad it was released.
App revisit: Tek Kit
Not a bad little drum machine for my 3G. I think I’ll probably keep it for now.
Aye, by Martyn Bennett
I just got this album after it came out last week, and in many ways I’m looking forward to hearing it as I still love Martyn’s Grit album, which is completely awesome. I just hope that I haven’t set my expectations too high.
Reactable Mobile
I do like Reactable mobile, but once again it falls into the ‘haven’t had much time to it’ category. So I decided to play with it again and I’m well on my way to getting some interesting (ok, interesting to me) patches done.
More Palm OS stuff available
You might not have noticed that there’s some more ancient Palm OS stuff available here. I will be adding more zipped files with old apps that are disappearing from anywhere else on the internet, although I’m not sure that anyone will actually these want anyway.
App revisit: Synthprobe
Another app that I didn’t really use before, but now it’s sitting on my 3G I’ve found that it’s really good. I know it hasn’t been updated for a while, but it makes some great sounds.
30 years since ‘Only You’ was released
Who could believe it? I had no idea that Yazoo was that old! It’s funny as I saw Vince Clarke and Alison Moyet play at the Mute festival at the Roundhouse last year and I thought they were brilliant.
I think I’ll have to listen to some Yazoo tomorrow.
Arduino Mega ADK
I sat on the fence about getting one of these for a while, but I eventually decided that I’d love to play with Arduino and Android and Processing all together. So expect some more semi-mobile geekery in due course.
RJDJ: Shake
When loading up my old 3G with music apps I realised that I had more RJDJ apps than I remembered, so I’ve been using them again and remembering just how good all of these scenes are.
