    Sold Out

  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Another year another holiday, this is a brand new relisting of my dual splatter LP (4 sides) of the entirety of Pretty Eight Machine SE, which originally shipped in 2022. If you previously ordered P8M from me on vinyl, this is the same one, don't order a second one thinking it's different or you'll be disappointed (or hey maybe you won't because you want a second one or a gift? I dunno). I'm done sending these to record stores; Some graciously accepted it (thank you!) and others decided to reneg or hem and haw on the deal, MY LOSS IS YOUR GAIN because I'm oh so tired talking to stores that want commission sales instead of outright purchases, some of them were great but it's been hard hitting up the last few for my commission money. I just want to put these things in loving homes and catch up on my bills and repair my house and support Bloop Museum if there's anything left over.

    If you sell 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

    As for an actual description that is TOTALLY not half-recycled from last time, the art on this record is (re)done by yours truly, I think the gatefold came out just gorgeous. There's a nice insert with 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 will be shipped WITH INSURANCE and I do my best to protect against corner damage.

    I am nearly out of P8M shirts, so I took the merch item down, but there are a few. If you have any interest in one and include your shirt size in the comments, I'll dig through what I have and contact you (that means you have to check your email). If I have your size and color, maybe I can ship one with the record if you decide you want to buy the shirt.

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.
