Makes me want to drive around Miami in a butter-yellow Cadillac Sedan DeVille. Time to investigate DS-10... Ah, the first track is awesome!

The mag is long gone- all I can remember is, the circuit design filled a page (about A4 size). Oh, and it <b>may</b> have had a series of pads, to simulate a keyboard layout.

Has actual musicality. And skill. The second: I've been to Hindu weddings that are more musical than this, and that's saying something. The first track: not my style but clever all the same.

Listening now, haven't got to the second one yet. oh I do love analogue synths, which is why I have 3 theremins.... My wife's ears picked up and she commentes that is sounds a bit Pet Shop Boys. Sort of. Yeah the second is a bit raw, but it does have something to it. Very Clan Analogue - I've seen their large 'thing made of many analogue circuits' a couple of times. Are they still around? And... someone in DanLand might still have the booklet from Tandy's 150-in-1 kit from oh, maybe 1979? There was a circuit in that I am pretty sure was a theremin of sorts, but I can't find a copy to confirm what kind of circuit it was. My goodness that first track is awesome!
