I love the fact that someone made a Palm Sounds version of their app to celebrate when Palm Sounds was 5 years old. I really love the original Sprak app and this one is just as good, and reminds me that Palm Sounds was a really good thing and helped to create a lot of buzz around mobile music.

A new Shada!
A friend told me about this today and I was really pleased he did. I had no idea that this had been released at all, and I’d really like to get hold of it. I’ve got the Paul McGann version of Shada which I love and it’s an excellent story, but an unabridged version is very tempting indeed.
It’s available on iTunes for £18.95:
But also on Amazon (although they’re out of stock!)

So I’m going to have to choose where / how to get hold of a copy of this.
App revisit: Sonic Wire Sculptor
This is a really interesting app to play with and use although I don’t think it would be something to actually make any music from, which seems strange, but even so it is quite a lot of fun to use.
It’s almost certainly staying on my iPhone 3G.
More Aura Flux
Great fun for just noodling around really, and a nice looking picture from it, although the ‘kites’ scene or sketch or whatever the correct term is looks good too.
The Zoetrope
It is a brilliant idea for an app, as indeed is the zoetrope a brilliant idea in itself. Having a virtual one on a device is great as I never get out the one I have at home.
I love this app, and even though I have no real need to keep it whatsoever I will continue to.
You cannot blame me for being tempted by a name like SpaceLab
I saw the name of this app and I had to get it. SpaceLab sounds like such a great idea. I reality it isn’t really that cosmic a music app. Not that it isn’t fun to play with and it has a nice sound for a monosynth, but it is still a monosynth. The interface is nice, but it isn’t breaking any new ground in particular, and yet the name gets me. I love it.
Doesn’t really make any sense does it?
Monotron Duo arrived
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.
