Dream In Analog with Diva Phenom Vol 3 & 4 Soundsets by The Unfinished
2025
Dream In Analog by The Unfinished
It’s the final The Unfinished soundset of the year and Matt (The Unfinished) returned to the nostalgic warmth of Diva Phenom and those half-remembered, rose-tinted memories of 80s analog joy.
For those of you with good memories, you might recall that Phenom volumes 1 and 2 were very much inspired by the wistful, honest and intimate, classic synth vibes of Stranger Things. This is also very much true of Diva Phenom Vol 3 and Diva Phenom Vol 4. It’s a return to the lo-fi lushness and crunchiness, and generally romantic joy of retro circuits and transistors, ably brought to your DAWs via u-he’s tremendous Diva.
Diva Phenom Vol 3
Diva Phenom Vol 3 is a collection of 150 patches for u-he’s Diva.
Continuing on from the original two Phenom soundsets, volumes three and four are fundamentally about pure analogue sound. Warm, lush, and lo-fi, Phenom breathes delicacy and punch, bringing a collection of intimate and emotional retro vibes.
Smooth pads, gutsy basses, drifting textures, mellow leads and quirky sequences provide classic, old skool analogue sensibilities, with a contemporary definition.
Diva Phenom is inspired by the joy and wistfulness of Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein’s Stranger Things, Le Matos’s Summer of ’84 and Paul Haslinger’s Halt & Catch Fire, as well as the ambience and dynamism of Cliff Martinez’s The Knick, Mac Quayle’s Mr Robot and Geoff Barrow & Ben Salisbury’s work on Ex Machina and Drokk, as well as artists such as Boards of Canada, Electric Youth and Unit Black Flight.

Diva Phenom Vol 4 is a collection of 150 patches for u-he’s Diva.

Phenom is cozy, charming, and subtle; full of punchy bass, frothy synths, blissful pads, and quirky sequences. So, if you dig Stranger Things or the Summer of ’84 score by Le Matos; if you love the sounds of composers like Cliff Martinez, Paul Haslinger, and Geoff Barrow & Ben Salisbury; or if you admire the work of Boards of Canada, Electronic Youth or Pye Corner Audio… you’ll enjoy Diva Phenom too.
