MARKETING is the result of a catchy hook, as glitzy and fashionable as an advertising campaign ought to be. Upbeat fun from start to finish.
This track was essentially a remix of Brown Sauce's "Hello, Hello" from 1981, also known as the theme to BBC's television series Swap Shop. The track is also very simple in production as it relies almost entirely on the chopped-up sample, with the addition of a single kick drum, and a guitar replaying the slap riff.
This is one of two songs that received a brand new sample, replacing a poorly compressed and low fidelity recording of the shortened TV version, ripped from some obscure website. A small revision was made in the fills, and everything is bright and poppy!

A exploration of different flavors of electronica, slotting different pieces into a simple, yet satisfying framework to create something multi-faceted, yet connected.
There's some flavors of ambience sneaking around near the ending and some harsher tones explored in 'Minus' that almost give it a factory-like feel, but the biggest standout is the synth-pop flavor added in 'Grey Eminence'.
This one's a grab bag with a lot of fun stuff tucked inside, definitely give it a listen. Cardian Matsu
