Oh, unholy carp, they have the entirety of Max Richter's Sleep in Master on Tidal.
Good night, my friends, see you in the morning.

Klipsch Cornwall IVs. In the parlance of our times, BRUH.
Those don’t look real. It’s like someone bought 3/4 scale or 1/2 scale everything else, and regular size speakers.

Really digging the Sweet-ness of Honeymoon Disease (and maybe a little bit of Blue Oyster Cult, less the mystical shit). Check out "Calling You":
...or the singles, "Electric Eel" (last track), "Doin It Again" (first track), or "Four Stroke Woman" (right after "Calling You")

No seriously, I definitely will give it a listen if you think that highly of the music.

Thanks for all the recommendations.
Appreciated the help. Cheers. I guess i am slow at taking a hint, eh?
Call Dave. I told him about your question, but I already forgot the answer.

I like weird music. Don't like associating drugs with music, but I did grow up in the 70's, so it's hard not to laugh at the joke. "You know what would pair well with drugs? More drugs." I lollered. And then I watched the video, and lollered all over again. It's just an envelope or a slow LFO into the pitch of a synthesizer, though, it's difficult to make that sound musical, but it's doable.

I'm confused. It's more PINK FLOYD but less worth a listen?
Again, I disagree. The Waters takeover albums * are certainly compelling listens, but I much prefer the post-Waters albums.
I forget who, but someone called them Waters solo albums with Pink Floyd as the backing band.
* Thanks for that, going to call them that from now on.

Disagree. The post-Waters stuffs is more Pink Floyd than Final Cut or even THE WALL.

Making Vegetarian Hot Salsa/Nacho Toppings for tomorrow’s work party
I’m really pleased with how it’s coming out.
Needs onions and garlic though. Perhaps some sour cream.

That's a Digitakt - I feel like I've barely scratched the surface so far but it feels like a fun machine. It sounds surprisingly giant too. Lots of fun to be had with conditional trigs and lots of realtime control, I suspect.
I pre-ordered the TD-3 from thomann.de within hours of the story breaking, as I suspected they'd have it first. I was right, looks like UK dealers won't have it until late January. It's.. well, it's fun. It sounds a lot like a 303 - maybe a bit brighter, and without the characteristic slightly sloppy timing of the original, but surprisingly close. The onboard DS-1-alike works quite well, too.
I've found it to be a tiny bit temperamental with regard to stuff like writing track sequences, and also selecting them for playback on the fly. You sometimes seem to not always get the pattern you're expecting - possibly it reads the selector input slightly before the last step of the pattern?
It has been too many years since I touched a real 303, so I can't honestly remember if this crankiness is normal, or if it's something in Behringer's implementation and potentially fixed in a firmware update.
On the upside, MIDI seems to work without much hassle, and the "synthtool" software gives you simple pattern editing on a computer for those rare times where you decide that you don't want to wrestle with the delightfully weird and intractable 303 UI. Unlike the original, there's no battery option- but it still runs from 9V negative centre, so you can power it from a guitar pedal supply.
Fundamentally, it sounds and feels a lot like a 303, so it's as fun as shit. I was like a little kid once I got it running.
If you want to hear it for yourself, here's a bit of audio, just some simple patterns over simple 4/4 "unf unf" drums from the Digitakt.
(Yes, I realise that the drums are REALLY LOUD, it was more an end-to-end test of connections than an attempt to do actual sequencing or mixing too precisely
)
BRB, having a 90’s flashback.
