Legowelt Releases Free Album | ‘The TEAC Life’
Though it is not always apparent, like every other form of music, techno has its purists and its innovators; its lovers of analog and its pushers of digital. As an artist who emerged right as the transition between these two schools of thought really began to take hold, Legowelt is one of the most prolific of the last standing proponents of true “old school” aesthetic, and he wants you to know there is a difference. So, earlier this week, the man gave us all a gem, a new free album, called The TEAC Life, which you can grab directly from his site. He says about this latest effort:
Its got a hella lot deep tape saturated forest-techno tracks on it and when I say Techno i dont mean that boooooooooooring contemporary shit they call techno nowadays …
F*ck that, I am talking about: Raw as fuck autistic Star Trek 1987- Misty Forests- X-FILES,- DETROIT unicorn futurism made on cheap ass digital & analog crap synthesizers recorded in a ragtag bedroom studio on a TEAC VHX cassettedeck in DOLBY C with an unintelligible yet soulfull vivacity.
But of course, if you like what you hear, do throw him a few bones so at the very least, he can repair his Juno 106 and do it all over again. It’s only fair when it sounds this good.
