The HAARP Machine Megathread

[Polythoral]

Misha posted some clip on their page a few days ago, it got deleted. A few hours ago he posted on their page about how it was deleted, and whoever runs the page blocked him from posting on there anymore.

To clarify, according to Misha, he was simply blocked because he had too many posts marked as spam by users.

Also, I caution all talk on this subject to be careful, as it's walking on thin ice, I do believe. :x

This is so stupid, you literally can't discuss anything touchy in this thread or it'll just get closed

It wouldn't be a problem if people would be sensible and didn't start calling each other names once they disagreed on anything.

Back on topic: I still haven't had the chance to listen to the full album, and I can't believe I forgot to buy the record last time I visited the record store! I was mesmerised because I spotted and bought BtBaM's new one.

I liked it. Some really good sections here and there. I think this album is the kind I listen to a bunch and then put it away and won't pick up again in a really long time though :/

Eh it's something that comes with anonymity on the internet. I prefer forums when mods don't mother-hen threads.

Album toanz are Mark IV and a 5150 Voodoo modded.

Answering the question about guitars/tones etc., the rhythms were recorded using a Gibson Les Paul Studio and then re-amped later by Eduardo. The leads were Gibson as well originally but when Al received Varberg he re-tracked all the leads with that guitar. I'm not sure whether the leads were re-amped too or whether Al used his Axe FX.

As for the live performance situation, Mike Semeksy stated in an interview that The HAARP Machine have two seperate rigs (one for the US and one for the UK/Europe) to avoid the hassle of having to ship tons of gear over and stuff like that.

I heard that the album liner notes says Al played it but it sounds really fake/digital and people I know who know Al said that he doesn't have a sitar or access to one.

He could have used one of these: http://www.danacountryman.com/vinnie/pics/70s_Coral_Electric_Sitar.jpg. Then again, the sitar sound does sound pretty VST-ish. Don't rule out the possibility that it may have been intended to be like that.

Since there are no new tabs of HAARP songs and I didn't know
what to learn, I decided to tab Pleaidian Keys.
Here's the tab. To the strings skipping riff of bar 3:
Guitar I is tabbed how I think he plays that riff live.
Guitar II is tabbed how I play that riff starting with an upstroke.
Also, I took the pre-production version of the song.
The guitars were easier to tab but there are small differences
like whats panned left and right.
The solo of the album version is included. A cover is coming
in a few days.

Am I the only one who's having problems downloading the guitar pro file?

 

[Necropitated]

I think you have to click on the right mouse button and then Save Target as.
If it doesn't work i'll reupload it.

 

[mikernaut]

I still love this album. It gives me chills. Mike's clean vocals are Euphoric in areas.
Some may be grumpy over the recording techniques, but seriously, isn't there much bigger issues in the world? ( which I think Harrp has been hinting at, wink wink)
music is meant to inspire you to feel, to appreciate things, and sometimes think further.

Finally got the CD. After being able to listen to it from beginning to end, I can say I enjoy it a lot. Definitely has some replay value.

Also, good stuff to work on to help me get better at guitar.

Yeah, worked.

Had to add .gp4 to the end or else my PC read it as a text file for some reason but it works.

Thanks a lot.
