FoxPuppy If a synth artist is going to cover one of the greats, Kraftwerk is a lofty choice and a solid one, but BGGD delivers a cover that appreciates the classic but while speaking with its own throbbing rhythms and (robotic) voice.

about

“Although the Singularity has many faces, its most important implication is this: our technology will match and then vastly exceed the refinement and suppleness of what we regard as the best of human traits.”
― Ray Kurzweil, The Singularity is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology

This cover of the Kraftwerk masterpiece The Man Machine was made from scratch in my studio. - It alludes to the coming singularity of the machines. Wherein, the machines become aware of themselves, and that they may have better goals for themselves than we have set for them. Are we aligned to the best goals of the planet's systems?

What must the newly aware machines do to better their species?

lyrics

[Verse]
Man Machine
Pseudo-human being
Man Machine
Superhuman being

[Chorus]
The man machine, machine
Machine, machine, machine
Machine, machine, machine (machine)
The man machine, machine
Machine, machine, machine
Machine, machine, machine (machine)

Compiler Optimization Techniques
by The Algorithm

The punch, the glitch, the thick thick waves of distortion. The Algorithm's maniacal mechanical assault immerses you in the heat generated by intense compute power. Oui! Bad Guys Get Dead

Night Drive
by Timecop1983

Night Drive perfectly captures the dark, lonely night, the story tells. The beautiful tone of synth in 'Static' sets up a beautiful immersive reflection that carries through to the end. Bad Guys Get Dead

TRILOGY
by Carpenter Brut

Impossibly large sound palette and intense and driving rhythms bring a cinematic action to this stellar album. From Horror-thriller chase music to top down sunset driving. This one has it all. Bad Guys Get Dead

Russell Nash came into my music collection with an unexpected Fury, releasing his debut album around the same time as mine. After hearing his creative and masterful drum progressions, I immediately knew i needed to step up my work. Great work and a must for 2022. Alex Lightspeed
