Well, Rubycon 2016 builds on Rubycon 2010 and extends it, but it's too 'clinically clean and digital' for me I'm afraid. Currently playing the original as I type and this is too deeply burned into my psyche - and I'm having to stop typing as the sequencer works its magic all over again... Sorry, bad fidelity or not, the original is incomparable and moves me every time I play it. The sequencer in Part 2 is just simplifying and fading into an echo of itself, the phased waves washing round my head as the beautiful deep chords fade away...
I said elsewhere recently that I want a T.O.N.T.O., all two Moog IIIC's, two ARP2600's, various Oberheim and Serge bits and bobs, the wondrously all-enveloping curved cabinets to house it all and the custom controller that helps it all to work as a whole if needs be.. What you could do with a sequencer driving several oscillators all at once to get that gorgeous fat organic bass sound - a demo Artera Moog software ain't the same somehow - and I made a recording of both home 'programmed' Rubycon sequences done on my old PC ten years or more ago with heavily filtered 'demo' noise burts too - found the files recently and winced

Speaking of T.O.N.T.O. - Zero Time is another all time favourite. These guys could PLAY.. Add some hippy era uplifting spirituality which has grown with me over the years and Riversong as well as Timewhys has never sounded, or made me 'feel' as better as it does now.....
"...I am the river, I am colour but not the canvas, I carry life with me wherever I go. And there's no end or beginning, though I am not a circle...."
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way...The time has gone, The song is over, Thought I'd something more to say...
