With Ed still suffering from internet connection woes, Malaclypse stepped up and arranged the hardware to enable him to host the show. And it was a good debut, with no dropouts or awkward silences, very encouraging. We began with only seven listeners, but finished up with a peak of 24, which was very pleasing. Unfortunately Hugh Lynch was not able to join us on air, having suffered a PC failure himself. His help in compiling the show is gratefully acknowledged.
As promised, here is a link to a YouTube copy of the original 1980’s SynthAxe demo tape
Mal added some post-postshow tracks, which I will add when he tells me what they all were 🙂
