If these masterful men take their show on the road in a city near you, I highly recommend you attend - one of the best shows I've ever seen - not to mention the first time I saw an MS-20 and an ARP Solina in the flesh.

Like last week, I've chosen 13 tracks to post here. Listen & have a gander at more gloriousness HERE at our Free Mp3 Monday Group on Soundcloud.com. Join us and send some music over! I also post links to mp3's, but joining the Soundcloud group to get us your mp3's makes it a bit easier for us to stay organized with everything.

Shall we?

First off, I'd like to start the week with a beautiful, soul stirring song by by brother, Todd Busch of Buschovski. Here's his 2003 song, "Iceman". I adore it....

We all love a vocoder, see? Let's have a juicy visual break featuring Retrosound's Marko - we love his rad videos! Note the ingredients: 808, Taurus I and indeed, the VP330 Vocoder! I never knew the Taurus strings were so gorgeous, by the way. Wow.

Here's our friend, Chris Stack from Moog Music with some trippy-sweet "Ambient Mooginess":

 Next, here's my friend & Pilfershire Lane comrade, keyboardist, synthesist & mad scientist extraordinaire Mike Walters with his band in NYC, Fan-Tan.

Find the music here.

One more visual break? Speaking of Mike Walters and "Mooginess", here's a clip from the making of Pilfershire Lane, Mike Walters having a charming dialogue with his mouthy Minimoog Model D:

Here's the last song now, let's end as we began...here's my cover of "Our House" by Madness (a demo mix where I got a bit happy w/ the compressor)...

 See you in a bit! And remember, send us your downloadable Mp3's via the grey Soundcloud.com dropbox on the upper left for next week's Free Mp3 Monday!

I've tried to keep it pretty diverse - if you're anything like me, you like many kinds of music, samples & interesting sounds! So here they are, the first lot I've chosen....13 seems like a nice number! Most are on Soundcloud.com and some are links for your easy downloading pleasure.

Of course, please send in any suggestions or comments , as we always want to improve this adventure! And please remember, when submitting your sounds, please make them downloadable.

Let's start shall we? Let's start with a glorious piece by DJ Hell featuring the fabulous Billie Ray Martin, "Silver Machine".

The lovely people at Soundcloud.com have now created a feature where you can create Groups under your Soundcloud account - this new feature provides each group you create with its own correponding dropbox. So, to keep things tidy and organized for everyone, I have created our very own "Free Mp3 Monday" dropbox! You can see it to your left. 

Find the Free Mp3 Monday Group on Soundcloud.com here. You can also use this page to send me a track using the "send a track" button.

Send us your lovely tunes & tweaks! Again, I will post my pick of the mp3's on Monday via my Twitter page and here on AnalogSuicide.com. We've received numerous wonderful creations already, so we're very excited indeed.

Above: A music - hungry Brian Wilson (who turns 67 tomorrow) - Wonder what the disc is?

I'm sure we'll be making a few more adjustments & tweaks in the coming weeks to make it nice & buttery for everyone! As always, suggestions as to how to make this better and more fun are always more than welcome.

Here's how:

Use the wonderful audio file sharing network, Soundcloud.com to send me your MP3s. The Soundcloud.com Dropbox is on the top left of Analogsuicide. Click there, follow the instructions for uploading your file. I will post my pick of the URLs on Twitter and Analogsuicide.com for people to listen to & scoop up as they please. Note: the more drenched in bleeping, blipping, screeching, trippy, synth - drenched loveliness, the better!

Easy peasy. Send us your sonic sweetness!! We'll post them as "Free Mp3 Mondays" via Twitter and Analogsuicide. Good, clean fun indeed! And who knows what will evolve from it....remixes, collaborations, inspirations?

To kick things off, I've posted my cover of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" for your hopeful pleasure.

 For starters, have a fulfilling read (sent my way from Mystery Circuits creator and Pilfershire Lane comrade, Mike Walters) here Matrixsynth, The Stretta Procedure, Synthtopia & SonicState.com about the tasty new SEM from Tom Oberheim...

Above photo from Stretta on Flickr.

There are many great links on this post as well as wonderful pics (like the one below) from Tom Oberheim Day flickr set by danger.fellini....

A lovely fact to take away from this great bit of news is this (via Matrixsynth via alt-mode on the AH list):

"...- This is a labor of love. He isn't doing it for the money or to sell lots of them. It is likely that they will only be sold by one distributor that he is friends with. He doesn't want to have any employees so all of these will be assembled by Tom.

- Roger Linn can be credited as one of the people who bugged him enough to recreate the SEM. I think Tom has been toying this for awhile and the Barcelona event pushed him further."

So, as seen on Matrixsynth, Synthtopia & SonicState.com (for starters - boy, can I be a slowpoke!) lets hear from Mr. Oberheim himself, courtesy of Stretta on Vimeo:

 Looking forward to hearing this lovely machine sing! Reasonably priced, as well.....Now all I say is this (inspired by VICMOD's comment on Matrixsynth): Ground control to Mr. Pearlman? Come in Mr. Alan R. Pearlman.....

Pssst: You can always find me on Twitter and AudioBoo. Ahem.

Those of you who can make it should go see the Radiophonic Workshop in London this evening at the lovely Roundhouse! I believe tickets are still up for grabs. There is also a Q&A session!

Well, I must run along , but I will post updates as much as possible.
