Teenage Engineering OP-1 w/ Roland P-6: A Series of Quirky Lofi Beats
video upload by goth jocks
"The results of my first couple of weeks with the Teenage Engineering OP-1. It’s a complete 360 from the sequencer heavy workflow of the Elektron boxes. Spiced things up with some FX from the Roland P6 and Source Audio Collider
I remember the first time I saw one of these 10 years ago, I thought it looked like some sort of retro futuristic magic device. I didn’t know anything about synths, but I wanted one so bad. But the price! As I continued to learn more about the synthesizers, the price barrier grew. This thing started to seem like a complete rip off.
Now, thanks to an unexpected trade offer, the Teenage Engineering OP-1 is finally in my possession. My thoughts: worth the wait… and the price"

Rest in Peace Ozzy
One of my favorite tracks.
Mr. Crowley by Ozzy Osbourne from the album Blizzard of Ozz (1980)
Featured the Moog Minimoog, the Logan String Melody II and the Roland VP-330
This cover song series contains my own recreations of my favourite songs from the last 50 years. The original music from which I take inspiration belong to their respective owners. I recreate tracks only for personal passion and to pay homage to these tracks.
My intention is not to create covers that sound exactly like the original (if you want to hear identical sounds, please listen the original). It's more of an inspiration with my sounds from the old synthesizers from the past and of course the great appreciation for the original performers and producers."
OZZY OSBOURNE - "Mr. Crowley" 1981 (Live Video)
video upload by Ozzy Osbourne
"Ozzy performed "Mr. Crowley" live on TV in Rochester, NY in 1981."
With what appears to be a Roland RS-09 mkI. And the brilliant Randy Rhoads on lead guitar. I hope they are together again.
--
I'm going to miss him. Thanks to RetroSound for the post.
