The 70s saw much of the beginning of electronic music. Part of the inventiveness and spirit of that decade saw the beginning of new synthesizer instruments often referred to as string machines. Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Jean Michel Jarre, and Pink Floyd among other artists made use of them. Of course the analogue eventually has travelled…

It’s the most distressing thing when netlabels call it quits and slowly fade into the abyss. While it’s inevitable that many of the people who dedicate their time and energy to these musical ventures will eventually move on to new vistas, it’s always a shame to see them go.
