Kim Ryrie – Influencing the Sound of the World’s Biggest Artists
Kim Ryrie is a visionary entrepreneur, who pioneered the use of computers and digital technology in music and film.
Starting out of a basement in Sydney, Kim and his team created the world’s first digital sampling synthesiser, which would go on to alter the course of contemporary music in the 80’s and beyond. The Fairlight CMI would be used by many of the world’s biggest artists such as Stevie Wonder, Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel, Michael Jackson, Yello, Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, Herbie Hancock, Icehouse, Duran Duran, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Art of Noise, Def Leppard, Liza Minnelli, Pet Shop Boys, Joni Mitchell, Hans Zimmer, Prince and Devo to name a few.
Being pioneers in the new world of computing, Kim and his team used the technology to create business computers and then on to the range of Fairlight digital hard disk products for video and film.
Kim is now the CEO of DEQX, bringing true high-definition music playback to loudspeakers for music playback. DEQX products can be found in some of the top recording and mastering facilities around the globe, and in many no compromise home music systems.

Time to prove what forever should last
New York native Joe Satriani had previously recorded an album in 1986, and ran up some credit card credit card debt in the process. He paid off the debt from his earnings as a member of the Greg Kihn Band, but stayed on a low budget of $13,000 when he recorded his second and all-instrumental studio album, Surfing with the Alien. This would be a break-out album for the guitar virtuoso.
Satriani began playing guitar at age 14 under the inspiration of Jimi Hendrix. Supposedly he heard of Hendrix's death at football practice, and announced he was quitting the sport to become a guitarist. Satriani taught guitar to a number of students including Kirk Hammett of Metallica, David Bryson of the Counting Crows, and perhaps most notably fellow Carle Place High School alumni Steve Vai.
This album relied on drum machines rather heavily, with percussionist Jeff Campitelli recording overdubs to flesh out the pieces. Satriani played on two Kramer Pacer guitars and a Stratocaster guitar for the album, and would change the pickups to get different sounds. The cover artwork was originally a picture of Marvel Comics' Silver Surfer until the price for renewal grew too hefty in 2018, at which time it was replaced with a silver guitar.
Satriani has been a "hired gun" with a number of groups including Alice Cooper, Blue Oyster Cult, Deep Purple, the Yardbirds, and even Spinal Tap for their 1992 album. He is also known for his work with the supergroup Chickenfoot, and for founding the G3 tour.
Surfing with the Alien
This is the first and title track to the album. The title popped into Satriani's head when he was thinking about what it would sound like if aliens came to Earth but were just looking for fun rather than global conquest.
Always with Me, Always with You
This is the most popular track off the album. Joe Satriani wrote it as a love song for his wife, Rubina, and it is an instrumental power ballad.
Circles
If you haven't heard the album as a whole, you likely have not heard this deeper cut. It has a slow start and finish, with a hard thrashing center. It will give you a good sense for Satriani's playing style when using a slower tempo.
Satch Boogie
Satriani composed this hard rocking song after a car accident in 1986 when he was in a neck brace and on pain medication. Supposedly the concept was about what it would sound like if there was a horn section trying to play with Gene Krupa (the jazz drummer on "Sing, Sing, Sing") while his drum set was falling down a flight of stairs. This is the only track which uses live percussion.
ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:
Sweet Little Sixteen by Chuck Berry (from the motion picture Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll)
This documentary film featured two of Chuck Berry's 1986 concerts in celebration of his 60th birthday.
STAFF PICKS:
It's A Sin by Pet Shop Boys
Rob's synth-heavy staff pick is from the English duo of Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe, known as the Pet Shop Boys. The song off their second album covers the struggle of a gay person in a Catholic environment. It was intended as a campy song, but perhaps had more meaning than the duo intended.
Paper In Fire by John Mellencamp
Brian brings us back to small town USA with a hit off Mellencamp's album Lonesome Jubilee. The first single released peaked at number 9 in October 1987. Paper in fire is a reference to Hell from the Bible, taken from the book of Ecclesiastes 7:5-6.
Big Generator by Yes
All roads lead to Wayne's staff pick, and the title track from the Yes album. The Big Generator album followed their immensely successful album 90125, and the lyrics from this song reflects the band's take on the pressure the record labels received to continue producing pop hits. "Praise, oh praise this anthem generator."
I Don't Mind at All by Bourgeois Tagg
Bruce's staff pick is a one-hit wonder from the duet Brent Bourgeois (keyboards, vocals) and Larry Tagg (bass, vocals). This song is off their second album Yoyo, which was produced by Todd Rundgren. This is their biggest hit, which peaked at number 38 on the Billboard Hot 100.
INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:
Blues For Salvador by Carlos Santana
This instrumental is from another long-running guitar virtuoso who would remain an active force in the rock world for decades. This is the title track from Carlos Santana's album.

What do sequels, ghosts, and Christmas all have in common? They're queer!
Join us (won't you?) for our second annual Christmas episode, where we take a trip down Yuletide Lane and dust off festive classiques by previous Aural Fixation subjects. It's mulled wine, it's mince pies, it's... listens.
Despite non-stop merriment, we're still asking the hard questions – is You-Know-What even Mariah's best Christmas song? Who has more Christmas albums, Dolly Parton or RuPaul? Is "These Days" by ARIA-winning Fanny Lumsden actually a Christmas song at all!?
This episode was recorded at Forbes Street Studios in Sydney, part of Universal Music Australia. Thank you for all of your support in 2020, and if you haven't yet, our Christmas wish is that you like, subscribe or follow us – it makes all the difference.
