The Beautiful Sounds Machines Make Vol. 2 by Angrybonbon on Mixcloud
Some more great stuff from the Northern half of Both Bars On. Arpeggiated synths bringing to mind The Who, then suddenly drifting off into early Kraftwerk – I half expected to hear a clarinet or flute. Excellent database-wrangling music, especially because a lot of it sounds like the accompaniment to a schools TV program about computers.
This Mixcloud thing is new to me. Maybe I’ll have a dabble myself – it would involved sitting down and figuring out how to assemble a mix, and upload it, and maybe I shouldn’t be considering adding another project to my list of stuff I start. Maybe with a suggestion for a theme I could knock something together.
Questions raised by this mix (I ask them publicly rather than emailing the mixer for social purposes):
- What software was used to create the mix?
- Any ideas for a theme for a mix? (this would require a passing knowledge of what music I actually have)
- Would anyone have any suggestions for music to accompany a short video of a cute little robot cleaning my floor?

Ta muchly again. I used Mixxx – really easy and more importantly free: http://www.mixxx.org/. Of course I then spent too long pissing around with it in Audacity.
What about an EBM/Neo-industrial mix? Then let Frontline Assembly be the soundtrack to your robot’s antics.
(I’m probably well off aren’t I? Oh well)
I was looking around and saw Mixxx – happy to hear it’s good.
I could do an EBM mix actually – it will end up being a bit retro, because I’m rather out of touch, but what the hell.
As for the robot, the video is only a couple of minutes long, so perhaps a little bit of noodly cute analoggery would be better…
Could do worse than this for noodly cute analoggery: http://amzn.to/kpLQgP
‘Tempo Block’ on the mix is from it. Very cute and slightly sinister album though.
Have fun.
