Odin Photon Space Sailer Starlight

Odin: Photon Space Sailer Starlight, 1985. Taped off the Sci-Fi channel some time in the '90s. Subsequently copied and recopied; screenshots below are from a digital recording of a beat up EP mode VHS tape.

An infamously bad movie with some beautiful visuals. Remembered as a boring rehash of ideas and imagery better presented in Space Battleship Yamato. Features a couple of songs ("Gotta Fight", "Odin") by Loudness.

See the Anime World Order podcast for a great discussion of this movie (and how terrible it is).

Movement Through Thought No. 005 Playlist

MTT005 Spectrogram

An uneven one. Ambient / illbeint / vaporwave. Gets a little melancholy at the end. There's a good idea in here but this isn't the best arrangement. ~~Right-click save-as here or on the spectrogram above to download the mix from aNONradio's archives.~~

This show (like most of MTT Year 1) is no longer available for download here. Get in touch with me at the email address listed at the top of this page if you want a copy of it.

Movement Through Thought No. 004 Playlist

MTT004 Spectrogram

Glitchy / noisy / digital electro, with a left turn for some breaks and Skinny Puppy. This is quite aggressive, so apologies if you were expecting something mellow after last week's set. ~~Click here or on the spectrogram above to download.~~

MTT001 spectrogram

First of a new venture: "Movement Through Thought" on anonradio. Broadcasting for one hour every week, Thursday 10:30 PM to 11:30 PM PST (Friday 6:30 AM to 7:30 AM UTC). Playing electro, techno, footwork, drum & bass, dub, breaks, and whatever else catches my attention.

The recording of this show (the first episode!) is no longer available for download here. Get in touch with me at the email address listed at the top of this page (where it says "e-mail me") if you want a copy of it.

Renoise on FreeBSD

Renoise 3.1 (Linux x86 Build) running on FreeBSD 11:

It's been known for some time that Renoise runs under the FreeBSD Linux compatibility layer. However, no-one (to my knowledge) had gotten audio to work. With the release of FreeBSD 11 and its Linux compat changes, I decided to give it a shot, and got it to work - with JACK audio.

Really excellent piece of juke/footwork. Replaces some of the aggression with familiar techno (maybe house?) sounds.

Check Back In Ray (Version) and Hi-Tek Soul also on dubliminal-bounce.

Played most of it at the arcade on 2016/12/28.

What's Your Pleasure?

Hellraiser, 1987, VHS. Second generation, dubbed onto a "Hollywood Video" branded tape. Subtitles from opensubtitles. The VCR used for playback during the dubbing process left a little gift you can see below. Fortunately it only happens once during the movie.
