Nineties Jungle Café

[Moon]

Back in the nineties, there was no VSTi, no quad or dual processors, no fancy plugins, no nothing

O yes, we had sequencer software running on a pc with a CPU at 166 Mhz and you needed 32 MB of memory. What else O yes, a synthesizer, with 64 voices and a wavetable of perhaps 8 MB like Yamaha's MU100R with fantastic sounding XG effects.

So I went back to the nineties, installed a forgotten software (XGWORKS 3.0), loaded up an ancient midi file and started to record. And guess what...

...it sounds great !!!

Have fun with this one...

Great exotic feel, this is different from anything I heard from you lately
Nice thick pad sounds and driving rhythm are the solid skeleton of this track.
Good leads and melodies makes the rest.
A+ production

Cheers

Quite breathtaking

Hmm, I could be wrong but I don't think this is something Moon has written, not his usual style 

Good mix brother, I like it. You better keep that MU or change it for a Fantom

You're right and wrong Bro : right because I didn't wrote the arrangement myself, don't know who did it, it's an old xg demo file. But... you're wrong if you think that a Fantom can make a sound like my ancient MU, there's something unique about this baby which make me keeping this great sound module ! No need for modern expensive plugin's when you have this old and unique sound module

It sounds like you have a ton of fun doing this one!  Great song and production.

Now you know why I still have all of my old gear!  Sometimes there is a sound or feel that only they can give you. Plus it fun to reminisce

Spacious sound, articulate hi-fi production   
(superior to much of what I hear from recent synthetic composers )
