The Envelope Generator EP - listen online now!

[roll1968]

Just wanted to add that the live version of Kwangmyong is brilliant! Have you drawn any inspriation from the Pet Shop Boys circa 86-87 (Please/Actually Albums)?

[roll1968]

Fantastic analogue synths :) Maximum respect is due.

[MrGuvEuroman]

The EP is amazing!

I'd of walked into HMV etc and bought it!

[mrbrockpeters]

@EnvelopeGenerator Dude, if you don't mind me asking, how do you afford all that sweet equipment? Do you get paid (and hopefully laid) for doing your thing? Anyways, you're pretty talented and your music is awesome!

[EnvelopeGenerator]

@mrbrockpeters Mostly by mis-spending my student loan on gear instead of textbooks.

[mrbrockpeters]

@EnvelopeGenerator Smart choice my man. Following your passion is king!

[ashley7327]

Love your music! PS- I have a wee bit of a crush on you! ;)

[lkkjhg45]

@ashley7327 step back bitch, he's MINE.

[ashley7327]

@lkkjhg45 Calm down, I wasn't claiming him. Besides, last time I checked, people weren't posessions.

[funkathighdoses]

Been anticipating this and I fucking love it. Totally inspiring. Like Scotsman707 said, I would also have gladly paid for it. Donations?

[EnvelopeGenerator]

@funkathighdoses Nah, I couldn't ask for donations! Music is just something I do for fun, so I'm happy to keep uploading my stuff for free, at least until I can find some way of making a living out of it ;)

[funkathighdoses]

@EnvelopeGenerator :) much respect

[insanity54]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY­YYYYYYYYY

[mikeszkoo]

Great work! Crease is one from my favorite songs!

[Scotsman707]

I would have been more than willing to pay for this album, but thank you anyway for making it free!

[TheJediCharles]

I know may not be helpful information to say I like them all, but what can I do when it's true?

I particularly like On the Fourth Floor, the new version of Crease and Kwangmyong...

...I'm straining to not simply say all the track names. I'll end the comment now before I do!

[CuoreBipolare]

The Wind is my favorite, amazing!

[vegunited06]

cool stuff mate

[bjcsupertortoise]

I don't mean to sound really annoying, but surely this is an LP not an EP — I thought LPs were albums like this whereas EPs were singles with all the remixes...

[EnvelopeGenerator]

@bjcsupertortoise Better ask that fountain of all knowledge, Wikipedia!

"In the United Kingdom, the Official Chart Company defines a boundary between EP and album classification at 25 minutes of length or four tracks (not counting alternative versions of featured songs, if present)".

That excludes the last track (which is an alternative version of Crease), so in total that's 6 tracks at under 19 minutes, which I think qualifies it as an EP. It wouldn't even fill one side of a 12" 33rpm record!

[bjcsupertortoise]

@EnvelopeGenerator Oh, I understand now — thanks for telling me :)

[Studio271]

It is wonderful. Very good music, and it makes me feel good. You really know how to layer on the analog and make it sound beautiful and organic.

[schriesilaut]

where is the snow? :P

[EnvelopeGenerator]

@schriesilaut Somewhere behind YouTube's compression. It was only a little flurry but I got excited...

[Iceni77]

Going to listen now. I love your tracks. :)

[thekorgboy98]

Excellent Job!

[1pnoe]

I got on quite well thanks. I decided to click the EP link. :P

[boterletter2]

It's great ! nicely done and .. well you know I'd like you and guys like you to become more 'mainstream' so you can take over from J.M.Jarre and Vangelis. BUT... this is good stuff, I really and honestly envy you for being able to make this kind of music.!

Don't EVER stop being creative ! ( O, and don't ever sell the C-64 ! )

[EnvelopeGenerator]

@boterletter2 I'm nowhere near as good as Jean Michel Jarre or Vangelis, but thanks for the compliment! Don't worry, the C64 is going nowhere ;)

[boterletter2]

@EnvelopeGenerator The great names of synth music weren't born musicians, they just had inspiration, drive a little luck and talent. You've got talent and inspiration and I think you have the drive. so you have to ask yourself one question... Do I feel lucky....

;-)

[tonypro17]

i whould love to buy that album on vinyl someday!

[EnvelopeGenerator]

@tonypro17 And I'd love to release an album on vinyl someday!

[CuoreBipolare]

Finally!!! Where can I download it?

[TheJediCharles]

@CuoreBipolare

I think on his MySpace page.

[itsciwi]

Noice!

[EnvelopeGenerator]

@itsciwi Go raibh maith agat, a Chíain!

(Is that the vocative of Cian? Tá mé ag foghlaim go mall...)

[itsciwi]

@EnvelopeGenerator I've listened to it a few times over now... I'm really diggin it!

No, it would just be Cian. The h would come in on Mhurachú (my second name (Murphy)) and it only does that for guys.

The fact that you're learning at all is amazing :P Well done!

[EnvelopeGenerator]

@itsciwi Oh well, close enough :P The Irish government are funding free Irish classes at universities in the UK, so I've been going to those twice a week. You'd think that would be the last thing they could afford right now!

[Anfallik]

It's Great)
