This would make some awesome samples

[parasite unit]

in some ways, it is sad to think that from these wonderfully exciting beginings.... electronic music seems to have boiled down to the Boom Tschak Boom Tschak Ptsssht of a sampled sample of an 808 loop... and some REALLY unexciting basslines, usually with some empty and hollow lyrics describing how great it is to party though an auto-tuner... (and yes, I am gulity of the loopism) we need more experimentation in music, simple as.

Not everyone understands english very well, having subtitles helps a lot.

I often find myself using subs when I have trouble with accents or not haveing enough concentration to follow. This is the internet and most people on the internet don't even speak english. Please try to remember that next time.

Hum by the way, you're american, aren't you?
