That video would have been so much less awesome if the dancers weren't in it. Thank goodness for dancers in product videos.

Got an email from an online retailer announcing preorders for a whole lineup of new Roland black with green lights gear. They should have just titled it “Shit you’ll buy because it looks cool.”

This stuff would have come in really fucking handy in 1993 when I actually needed it. I guess it's "retro" now. Like those rockabilly bands in check shirts and quiffs, or whatever.
This is Roland's Aira range

Seems a fair price for a decent digital emulation, but I don't know how much interest these will really have. The SH1 sounds kind of interesting, though with only 4 voices not sure how far you'd be able to really push it.
