I wonder if one of those tracks could be archponf? Richard mentioned it was one of his earlier ones

And they didn't sign him?

 

lol, idiots

 

Imagine getting sent Xtal before anyone else had heard it and not being that bothered about it

[goDel]

exactly, idiots.

[jejunum]

seconded. idiots!

 

but perhaps it's a really shitty, early version of "xtal"? i would love to hear a really shitty, early version of "xtal" if it exists!

[Joyrex]

There is no shitty version of Xtal.

[Adamovich]

shitty quality perhaps

there's tons of stories like that. when you're on a very low level indie label market (like i am with my label) you tend to sign people you know and like. that's what happens when you're in it for the fun of it and not to make money.

[goDel]

even over a telephone-line xtal would sound godly

[Ragnar]

sium quarm plz

[Ragnar]

actually that record label sounds kinda cool but yeah failed opportunity on their part

it's a real niche label but a fairly known one, at least in the cult following sense...i've seen that woob release heralded a lot

 

also recall coming across the gas 0095 album when looking into better known gas (Wolfgang Voigt)

 

anyway they def were not as big as R&S, who ended putting out RDJ's stuff before Warp signed him

[koolkeyZ865]

ebay please

[Tatdylf]

also those sick pics in the mega upload:

 

 

 

 

 

I don't remember these pics, are they from syrobonkers?

[Herr Jan]

At the Jdub pics above: nope, they're from Manuel Sepulveda's Instagram account, he posted them right after the dump started. You might remember him from some of the artwork on Rephlex Records :)
