I recently wondered, whos got the best bell, an Ensoniq Mirage or a Korg M1? Well, what proceeded was a messy and gruelling attempt to find out.
Both keyboards on opposite sides of the room, Mirage on the left, M1 on the right, snarling at each other with keys like gritted teeth, who was going to win? and the battle commenced.
The warm dark sound of the Mirage bell made an appearance, eerie and atmospheric as it was, the M1 was having none of this and fought back immediately with its clanking evil Tubular Bell.
The computer meanwhile, was furious about the whole affair, these two old beasts getting all the attention. It spat forth a beat, a stupid crazy fly slamming beat after an Ice-T fashion.
As the battle went on, a Supernova sat perched under the desk just taking care of all matters bass related as usual. Smugly antagonised the participants, teasing them with some non bell crunchy rhythm sounds.
Needless to say I ended up getting dragged into this mess, fighting the faders to try and keep everything in some sort of order, all the microchips in the room were now involved in someway, all jostling for position, trying to get their sound noticed.
It didnt help matters when Cystems grinding guitars appeared in the mix providing even more anger to fuel the warring chips and keyboards.
After about 4 minutes I could take no more and was killed in battle. As far as I know the war is still going on and all I can do now is hope to God that Cystem makes it out of there alive, or at least his soul manages to escape the sonic filth somehow.

Bragi said, "Industrial gothic I'd say. Not bad for a bastard....not bad at all. Get some more of these placed on the pipes of interweb."
Mental Anguish said, "Joe so glad you got the Mirage working again! Hell of a battle of the bells, the basslines in this piece of sonic filth & the fly beat so remenisant of early Ice-T work great for me. The guitars by Cystem are of course smoking up the piece! A lovely & welcome slice of sonic filth! :-)"
