  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Just in time to order for Kwanzukkamasivus Eve, this is a dual splatter LP (4 sides) of the entirety of Pretty Eight Machine SE. We fundraised for this last year. If you previously ordered P8M from me on vinyl this is the same one, don't order a second one or anything or you'll be disappointed (or hey maybe you won't because you want a second one or a gift? I dunno). No record stores have contacted me so I assume I'm done sending these to stores and honestly it was a pain getting in touch with stores anyhow. Some of them graciously accepted it and others decided to reneg or hem and haw on the deal, MY LOSS IS YOUR GAIN because I'm oh so tired and just want to ship these things out and catch up on my bills and repair my house and support Bloop Museum if there's anything left over.

    If you are an idiot scalper on discogs please let me know in the comments when you order so I can cancel your order with no refund. If you are not, please go to the people selling this record for an obvious ripoff price on discogs and report them. If you are discogs, WHY HAVEN'T YOU TAKEN IT DOWN YET COME ON GUYS

    Anyway as for an actual description that is TOTALLY not recycled from the last time I put this up for sale, all art on this record is (re)done by yours truly, so it's a gorgeous gatefold if I do say so myself. A lovely insert tells the story of each track, the album itself, and even the vinyl. The pocket contains an EXTRA download code because I'm too lazy to take them out, so give it to your friend or mom if you want, use it as rolling paper, I dunno. Nice black inners. Poly bag. Records shipped WITH INSURANCE in sturdy mailers that protect against corner damage.

    I am nearly out of P8M shirts but hey maybe check if I carry oh who am I kidding I ordered too many small shirts so find a NIN fan who wears a small T-shirt and buy them one of these for the holidays THANK YOU FOR READING MY NIGHTTIME RAMBLING inversephase.bandcamp.com/merch/pretty-eight-machine-t-shirt-3rd-run

about

This is probably the most complicated track on the album. In fact, I'd venture to say that for both PHM and P8M. There's a lot going on in this song, and I needed room to do it. Konami realised the same thing about halfway into the 80's and designed a chip that would give them five sound channels in addition to the (very plain) sounds of the sound chip in the MSX (which is either a General Instruments AY-3-8910 or its clone, the Yamaha YM2149). The SCC was most popular with Metal Gear 2 and Snatcher, and it got used in a few arcade machines too. They later revised the SCC to the SCC+ with a few bugfixes.

I used this combination to do Sanctified. I'm really proud of how closely I was able to nail (ha. ha. ha.) some of the instruments and sounds from this track on the SCC. For example, the SCC can't produce whitenoise, and the AY puts out reasonably plain whitenoise, so the scratchy sound before the guitar blasts was interesting to create.

This is my girlfriend Jill's favorite song, so I dedicate this song on the album to her.
