...according to our Phil on 27 November 2006.

We have this rather cool Buddah Machine in by Chinese/ US electronic funsters/ inventors FM3. It's basically a little portable electronic loop machine which plays ambient loops infinitely (or until the batteries run out). Mind you is does have a DC slot in in and there's an audio out which we just plugged into the PC speakers here and it's well exciting. You can make your own ambient records with this, or use it as a DJ tool, or have it on as sleepy time music. Whatever folks. It's well exciting and we love gadgets here so we're all having one. Woohoo!! Brian Eno and the chap from the Sun City Girls got a load of 'em. Check out the FM3 website if you're still confused....

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

“The Buddha Machine is a little plastic box that plays music. Specifically, FM3 constructed nine drones, varying from two seconds to 42 seconds, which repeat endlessly in the listener’s ear until the “track” is switched to the next drone (or the two AA batteries run out). The machine has its own built-in speaker, in case one would like to fill a room with the drones, but there is also a headphone jack for more personal meditative experiences. There’s a switch on the side that allows for traversal of the tracks, and a DC jack (though an adapter is not included) for those who would like the Buddha Machine experience be truly endless. In a way, it’s like the cheapest pre-loaded IPod you’ll ever be able to buy.”
