Pricing and Availability
Pine Forest Drums is available now for US $30.
They did a nice job on this, at a great price. Canned Vangelis patches seem a bit weird because his playing is what defined them. With BOC, its a different sort of gig, because while BOC fans know the band’s general shape, these sounds invite you to personalize them for broader purposes. I like the challenge of sculpting them to suit my own mad noodlings. Sold.
So cool to hear what Boards of Canada would sound like if they sucked!
So funny how we react to things. If this was an iOS app I would have bought it in a second. As a VST, not really interested. JMO.
I don’t think I’m ever going to recover from that audio demo
Sounds like it is in the lo-fi genre but not one small bit like BOC.
