- I need the cash to buy something else, - the keyboard feel is not to my liking (DW8000) - the sounds don't / no longer fit into my music - poor user interface (D70, XE8) - its functionality is limited for what I need (DX7) - I have sampled the sounds I wanted to keep (D50, DX7, EX800) - a missing ...

Korg EX-800 (Poly-800 in a desktop box). They cost next to nothing second-hand... eh? Since when, people are asking (and getting) as much as 400 for them here. I wouldn't call that next to nothing. :? Really?! I'm talking about 10, maybe 15 years ago. I really don't think they're worth more than £5...

I also agree, but also personally find that Pink Floyd isn't very enjoyable when it's too much Roger Waters ie. The Wall and The Final Cut. What attract me to 'The Wall' is that the songs are very catchy and the whole mood of the album is very dark, which tends to hit a sensitive part of my strange...

Although I like The Division Bell and a few songs on MLoR, I have to agree with your statement.

Microphone/dictaphone/recorder into the air when wind happens!

Plus a curry, an onion and a tin of baked beans to make it happen!

Korg EX-800 (Poly-800 in a desktop box). They cost next to nothing second-hand; I bought and sold mine for £20. It's got a noise generator, a resonant voltage-controlled filter, an LFO and envelopes. That's all you need.

Ultravox painted theirs grey...

That'll be The Temptations!

I'll give Animals another go. I don't give up that easily when it comes to music! The one I really CAN'T get into (not for want of trying though) is The Final Cut. What were they thinking?! Funnily enough, I'm not keen on Gilmour and Waters' solo efforts which, from my perspective, demonstrates that...

Meddle all the way. 'Meddle' doesn't do it for me, except for 'Echoes 'and 'One Of These Days'. I have an original LP but never bought it on CD. DSOTM was a revelation to me. I was introduced to it around the time it came out (I was 6) by an older cousin who lived nearby and also introduced me to t...

That's where Spotify comes in! My favourite albums are DSOTM, WYWH, The Wall and Obscured by Clouds.

I think Animals was the last decent album they did.

Actually, I don't like that one either.

http://www.thedailystar.net/upload/gallery/image/arts/the-endless-river-pink-floyd-album.jpg I don't know whether I like it or not. The tracks being mostly discarded jams from the 1994 Division Bell sessions, they sound very much like Pink Floyd's output from that era, which is great but, after lis...

I got very close to the 'Mad World' sound by layering the K2 sample from the CMI Percussion disc with the Gamelan sample ( Gam2 ) from the second Mallets disc. I tuned the latter down by 7 semitones and played a Gsus4 chord. Here's a dry demo... https://soundcloud.com/gcoudert/mad-world ...and a wet...
