This week's #InternetHistory post on Cybercultural was an excuse to revisit my favourite boyhood band, Duran Duran. Back in 1997, they became the first major label artist to offer an online single for sale. This was a couple of years before Napster and more than 5 years before the iTunes Store! It was all thanks to a couple of now mostly forgotten companies: N2K and Liquid Audio. Full story: https://cybercultural.com/p/digital-music-sales-1997/ #DuranDuran #90s

Music from Amiga A500 (running Music-X2)
"A selection of tracks made in 1999. These are recorded direct from their original Minidisc source, and are not mastered so expect them to sound a bit rough and raw.
All tracks are essentially "live jams", made with a minimal set-up of:
Amiga A500 (running Music-X2)
Technosound Turbo (Amiga sampler expansion)
Akai S900
Novation Drumstation
Roland XP-10
Soundcraft Spirit Folio SX20
ART Multiverb II
Sony Minidisc Recorder
(with the addition, at some point, of a Korg EA-1 & Fostex 3070 compressor)
Recorded @ Central Avenue, Levenshulme & Albert Road, Levenshulme & Brailsford Road, Fallowfield."
1999 (Unreleased)
