If you’re into synths, chances are that you’ve got a few passions – about gear of a certain era, about analog or about a certain synth – that border on the fetishistic.
Putting your latest electronic music release out as a limited edition on red vinyl, in this day and age, probably fits into that category. But that’s exactly what Alessandro Cortini is doing with his latest SONOIO release, Scientist.
Whether or not you’ve got the vinyl fetish, this behind the scenes look at the making of Cortini’s new release is pretty hot. Full of retro tech, steaming machines and gooey vinyl, the video follows the pressing process from cutting the masters to pressing the vinyl to Cortini signing the cover.
The Scientist 7″ is available for $8 in a signed edition of 350 via the SONOIO site.
In Jamaica they call this a DUBPLATE. Somebody I know kept a machine to make them in his basement. Cool piece of gear.
Reminds me this 1984 Depeche Mode video for People Are People: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTYsElEGswc&ob=av2n
