Atomika // Cold War Chic is A Blast From The Past
video upload by Starsky Carr
"Can the Cherry Audio Atomika get close to Comrade Polivoks. A comparison of the Atomika vs Polivoks. The Polivoks was one of the more unpredictable and 'lively' synths to hit the market in the 80s, and being from behind the Iron Curtain in the height of the Cold War gives it a cool dystopian charisma and mystique that can't be matched by those week willed Westerners and their predictable and controllable instruments of capitalism :).
It was built using electronics not intended for audio use and as such has a unique character and a whole dollop of charm...
... and yes I recently watched Threads so the intro demo does have a faint whiff of post apocalyptic 1980's depression.
oh and I know it should be pronounced Makina Bristronica.. I've no idea why I said Masheena, but fully expecting to be pulled up on it!"
