People have said we sometimes sound like Tangerine Dream. Expect that comparison to be made more often in the near future!

Here's our entire set at the recent Antwerp Loopfest:
Darkroom at The
Antwerp Loopfest 2009 from Andrew Ostler on
Vimeo.
Watch in HD and comment on the Vimeo page.
The gig was not without its problems - e.g. our
monitoring going a bit, well, broken between the sound
check and the gig - but we came away happy with the
result.

The orange amp

First, we used Mike's lovely old Marshall amp (pictured), which I'm particularly fond of simply because it's orange. As I recall, this was the amp that gave us the feedback sounds on Mercury Shuffle (on the last album, Some Of These Numbers Mean Something). This time it gave us some more screaming feedback, which was nice but not why we plugged it in, and some eerie slide guitar parts for an otherwise entirely synth-based piece (a rarity for Darkroom).
Secondly, we tested out another new plug-in that I'm writing. More on that later. For now, know that it sounded awesome and we pretty much wrote a track on the spot based on its sound.
