MOTM

OK so it took forever to write this review and give credit where it is due, 
but better late than never right? I have been listening to Bestiary at night 
while assembling some straggler kits and boy is it ever inspiring. I love to 
hear the small snippets of stuff previewed on the MOTM News page. This CD is 
beyond any expectations I had and I commend Robert both on the pristine 
studio production and the lovely compositions within. Robert is obviously a 
master sound craftsman and I love the effects on the tribal sounding vocals 
especially. Super other-world dimension. I also love the talking patch as 
previewed on the  synthtech.com website. It is hard to beleive the scope of 
work involved but easy to see that Robert has taken the time to fit all of 
the sounds together into an orchestra of frequencies. Both acoustic and MOTM 
blend so smooth it is hard to tell which is the synth and which is reality 
or instruments "through" the synth. I am very impressed, and to top it off I 
recently bought an official ACID 3.0 version and some of Robert's Work is 
included in the loops section of the content CD. Bravo! Hats off to you 
Robert for pushing forward with your own visions and to Paul for stoking 
each of us out with a free CD of this magnitude. This sure made a dark day 
turn bright for me and I thank you for that as well. Long Live MOTM!

I've been meaning to write something similar. I got "Bestiary" in the 
mail on Sept. 12. Somehow, every time I tried to listen to it in the 
first few weeks, it just seemed the wrong thing. Now I'm no weeny 
when it comes to "difficult" music, but, after all the terrible 
events, I was just in a phase where the kind of darkness "Bestiary" 
presents was not a place I wanted to be. So it's only been recently 
that I've really given it the listen it deserves. And it is an 
amazing disc. Rich has always had a terrific ability to blur the 
distinction between electronic and acoustic instruments, his use of 
electronics has a wonderful organic quality, and he avoids the 
obvious. It was cool to recognize the "talking" patch from the web 
site, had I not known the source, I probably would have guessed that 
processed voice was the source of that sound. Anyway, I really have 
to thank Paul for sending out this disc, it's become a favorite of 
mine.

Is anyone else seeing double messages to this group?

No, they just seem twice as stoopid today <g>!

Thanks for the reply. After I stopped laughing, I figured out I had a double
rule set in Outlook and it was putting the message in there two times. How
odd!!

MOTM topic: Can someone tell me about the mod that was done to the UEG? I
sort of remember it, but I'd like clarification.

Thanks,
Tony
