Artist: FM3
Title: Buddha Machine
Label: STAALPLAAT (GERMANY)
Format: Soundbox
Price: $23.00
Catalog #: BUDDHA 001
Restocked! 2nd edition now available. A unique 'soundbox' from China, which is causing senstation worldwide. A totally dazzling item which causes jaw-dropping delight everywhere -- Alan Bishop bought twenty-four of these on sight, Brian Eno bought eight (how's that for apocalyptical math?). FM3 are a duo of Christiaan Virant and Chinese keyboardist and computer musician Zhang Jian -- based in Beijing. The Buddha Machine is a hardware loop player, built kind of like a little AM radio (available in 6 different colors, shipped randomly), but without all the nonsense -- total genius from out of nowhere. More info/pictures at: www.fm3.com.cn [there's also a definitive FM3 interview at: www.rarefrequency.com]. Comes with 2 x AA batteries. "The Buddha Machine is a small soundbox made in China which comes with an integrated speaker, a volume control, mini jack-out and a switch to choose between nine different loops which are stored on a small chip and can be directly played by this mini soundsystem."


Be the first pitchfork-scouring metrosexual on your block to have the first ambient album that plays itself.

The thing I like best about this is the subtle assurance that, somewhere in the world, little kids in a sweatshop are taking orders from experimental electronic musicians. That's just a good feeling.
