Ello folks!
I've just finished a new EP.
http://binster.bandcamp.com/album/broken-lighthouse-initiative-ep
I've even gone to the effort of making music videos for it
Hope you all dig it!

I like how the distinct melodies recur at different times and in different forms, alternating and mixing like they're old friends. To break it down somewhat, they're played by:
- the introing crystal-light synth (0:04)
- the chewy overhanger at 1:20 that marks every beat niche, then gains a soundalike ally playing fewer notes at 1:57 (and still another at 2:19 and 2:56)
- the bass that makes a subtle appearance at 1:49 but hands the reins to the guitar (most prominent at 3:28+)
Gotta love the heavy sounds employed, but my personal favorite in-your-face show-offs are the phat bass+percussive slap combos around 0:57 - 1:04 and the percussive hits at 1:55 and 1:56 (seriously, these players mean more business than usual). I also like how the whirly ghost sounds kinda reverberate to the beat (lovely little touch).
Definitely delish.
You appraised this remix so thoroughly I award you a doctorate in ghoulology. Nice work!

Glad to read at abandonedsheep.com that Mr. Binster is still making awesome music - I just wish he'd make some remixes for us back here once in a while!!
I sneaked a little remix out at the tail end of last year - it's on the Wild Arms remix album.
It's track 2 on disc 2, if you fancy a listen
Cheers for the continued support! I should really do another remix...

Hello all!
I have collaborated with nervous_testpilot, aka Paul Taylor of Frozen Synapse fame, to produce a chiptune album!
http://ensnare8bit.blogspot.com/2011/12/binary-opposition-ensnare-and-mpegasus.html
It's a battle of bleeps. 4 tracks by Paul, 4 tracks by me and one honest to goodness, sitting at the same computer collaboration track. Here's a snippet preview clip :

Hope you all enjoy it! Merry Christmas!

Yay, this is all looking ace and will be the best of all things I've ever seen and heard! Yay!
One minor thing though, and this is only if it's not an easy thing to do, but on the tracklist artwork my artist name is binster with a lower case b. I'd prefer Binster with a capitol B.
If it's too late to change it then it's absolutely fine

Yup, I dun snaffled this. AWESOME BIZNIZ.

Hello all!
Just thought I'd pimp up this post with new info :
Abandoned is up for purchase as a special edition, featuring a swish remix of Steve's Lament by Frozen Synapse music legend Nervous Testpilot.
Also, new EP Part Man Part Machine is available!
Cheers all!
-
It can stay I just wanted to get a nice collection together and give this bandcamp thing a go, see how it works out.
-
Cheers guys! Glad you're digging it.
Also, my first album Abandoned is up on bandcamp for cheap purchase, and that's got a special remix of one of the tracks by Nervous Testpilot, music maestro from Frozen Synapse. - http://binster.bandcamp.com/album/abandoned
Keep rocking!

Hello all!
I've done an EP! It's vaguely RoboCop themed. Here's the link :

Ello Atmuh (and anyone else reading this)!
http://soundcloud.com/binster/sets/abandoned-album
I've enabled downloads on the Soundcloud set for Abandoned - get in there and download it!
Also, I think the mp3 files may be named weirdly, so I recommend using mp3tag to name them better : http://www.mp3tag.de/en/
Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: The above track is extremely old and extremely disturbing in equal measure.
The above track is extremely ace and extremely ace in equal measure.

Oh, and sorry for another bump, but...
ATTENTION "STEVE'S LAMENT" FANS!
I forgot to mention that nervous_testpilot did a remix of Steve's Lament.
http://soundcloud.com/nervous_testpilot/binster-steves-lament-nervous-testpilot-remix
It's massive trance action! I should update the album page to feature this remix on there, too...
-
Sorry people, but I took the download offline. A couple of reasons for this -
1) I shall be sending it to labels and that, and having a downloadable version of it online may cause issues.
2) Track 11 (Survival Instinct) is commercially available right now, and the downloadable version that was up previously had a shortened edit of the track. The streaming version - http://www.abandonedsheep.com/album - has the full length track on there. It's the album, the way it was meant to be
I'll keep this thread updated with news about the album.
Cheers

Cheers Cree
I really should pull my finger out and send this off to labels and that - see if anyone's interested in it. Till then, it'll be always available for streaming in full here : http://www.abandonedsheep.com/album

This is indeed a bad ass mix. ACE!
-
Hurrah! Good to know this is still going on.
Also, any sign of Follin since his retirement? Has he produced anything new?
-
Heh, cheers Hy Bound Glad it's still ticking the box!
Binster news!
I've updated abandonedsheep.com and soundcloud.com/binster with all the various mixsets I've completed so far, to compliment all the music I've completed so far
Also!
There are two new remixes coming out from me, one will be on Re:Connect Recordings and is of a classic track from their catalogue, and the other will be on a new label, of a new track from a new artist. More info as and when.
Work continues on album number 2

Still enjoying this stuff. Great job!
btw, is Closed-Eyed Astronomy inspired at all by Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Tears for Fears?
Cheers!
Closed-Eyed Astronomy is not only inspired by Tears for Fears, but samples the guitars from it
Just paying a little homage to an ace 80s track...
-
Streaming as in "don't have to download right now to listen"? Cool. I'll let you know what I think.
Besides, if there's a nod to Tears For Fears, there's no way this album can't be good.
Yep! That was what I was thinking - make it nice and easily accessible, get people listening. Plus this way, I can stick the full version of Survival Instinct in there - which you can buy at the following link if you were so inclined :
http://www.djdownload.com/artist/Dr+Awkward/252008 - Survival Instinct
If you're even more inclined, you can also buy this newer track which will eventually end up on album 2

Love the intro on track 2 - totally think "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" is going to start. Same key and everything!
Tears for Fears fan?
Well spotted! Yep, it's a sample, no less.
Good to hear you're digging!

Enjoy

A quick bump for this thread.
http://www.abandonedsheep.com/album
I've just updated the Album page to feature streaming versions of the all the album tracks, courtesy of soundcloud.com
A bonus of making the album streaming is that you can now hear the full version of Survival Instinct, as opposed to the edited version in the downloadable album. Hurrah!
Enjoy!
