Still, is this 2017 or 1987?
The new Trentemøller track is so 80s is hurts. But it hurts good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3h11GtR6x1w

The Elektron Digitakt is looking GOOD! It's also not as expensive as pretty much all other Elektron gear.

Honest question: do people still care about albums these days (let me finish!) as a stand-alone piece of art or have things shifted decisively towards albums as supporting pieces for larger art projects?

Just look at recent projects from:
Oneohtrix Point Never
Beyoncé
Kendrick Lamar
Poppy
Austra
Maylee Todd
Grimes

I guess this is the kind of question a 40-something Gen-X'er would ask, since that's exactly what I am. 🤔

If you've read any of the "MP3 is dead" articles, you need to know that's absolutely not true.

Here's what actually happened: the patent for the MP3 format has expired, and this is a GOOD THING. Now EVERYONE can use the format without paying royalties to Fraunhoffer - including you, if you're programmer.

In other words, it's actually the opposite: MP3 is supported everywhere and is now completely royalty free and open source.

@fzero For comparison, this is Gnome (Linux) running on the same machine with a dark theme. Notice how the visual language of all windows and icons is consistent, as well as font sizes and even Chrome's top bar. Font rendering is much better too. People joke about Linux on the desktop, but it's come a long way. https://torontomusic.cloud/media/EiMdLRQxd7oG0fLfxMA
