I won something!

Woot, thanks to Digital::Nimbus and their soulmate record label N5MD, I got some free music. Pietrobot announced a giveaway of the awesomely talented and awesomely named Another Electronic Musician’s new album States of Space with the conditions for entry I thought seemed pretty reasonable:

Simply reply to this email with your name, mailing address, why you enjoy AEM’s music, and we’ll select a winner each week live at the end of the program. Send your submission(s) to info@digitalnimbus.com.

Here’s my entry, Letterman-top-10 style:

Top 10 Reasons I Like AEM (composed while listening to ‘Use’)

10. Dub echoes...echoes...echoes

9. Increased alpha wave activity in brain = better Ruby code written by fingertips!

8. Layered and complex without sounding too busy - a tough feat that Jase pulls off with aplomb.

7. Clickclickclick WHIRRR bleep boop boop

6. Gives my headphone drivers a workout, which keeps them fit and happy

5. It's got a beat, but you can't dance to it.

4. AEM keeps the old-school N5MD flavour alive now that Bitcrush has gone 

all shoegaze-y (not that there's anything wrong with that!!)

3. I mentioned the echoes, but did I mention the reverb --- or rather, the

 reeeevvvveeeerrrrbbbb?  So tasty.

2. He gots the low end bass thump to please the booty.

1. Priceless moments of confusion when people ask me what I'm listening to

Don’t bite my stuff, but send in your own and listen to D:N to see if you won.
