Yes I did want to speed it up, but it's kinda awkward as I would need
to do time-shrinking/and/or/beat slicing.

Depending on what speed you played it on the record player. There was
some slow stuff. But definitely I think if I make another then a
faster speed is the thing to do from the start. I wanted to make it
fast but for some reason settled on 120bpm!?

I heard that too!

Well I used a random kick sample from one of the hydrogen kits and
applied lots of fx to it. My trouble is I intend to do one thing, then
do something else, then the next day change it all again.

Yes I did want disfigured sounds!
> wrong, I'm nt totally against it, it takes me back, yes I listened to that
Not all the techno tracks had that. I downloaded around 40 tracks from
youtube, and well, let's just say tb303 was over used imo and techno
doesn't necessarily require one. at least that was the basis i was
working on. not having one and all that. only equipped with yoshimi

No no. I don't really know what I'm talking about either :-)
