(Chuck Manson was like a proto-Vincent Gallo...some of it is, admittedly, really fucking good oh what could have been) (Jim Jones' People's Temple Choir...great stuff) (David Koresh, on the other hand, sucked...that DI guitar sound lol) it's suprisingly hard to search for music by cults and cult-leaders, as there are bands called both The Cults and Cult Leaders

It's simple. I have uploaded a one-minute sample of "Dance V" by Philip Glass. Although the entire file is encoded in FLAC, it randomly switches between two different samples: A FLAC, and a 128kbps MP3. Both are exactly the same apart from the quality, and your job is to figure out exactly when it switches between the FLAC and the MP3. If you really can't tell when it switches, congratulations! You're free! You can encode all your albums in 128kbps and have peace of mind. But if you notice the switches... well, maybe there's a good reason for FLAC encoding after all... RULES: Place ALL your guesses in spoiler tags Ears ONLY (no computer analysis!) Have fun! …

Who's the person behind zvλd? I was listening to a lot of the stuff on the soundcloud that's up and really, really liked the tracks I heard, almost more so than a good deal of tunes coming out lately. Reminded me of little bits of loads of artists but arranged and done so by someone who knows what the fuck they are doing. https://soundcloud.com/occult-research/3v8zzzdg0hdk https://soundcloud.com/zvld/0hgpahdiwygn https://soundcloud.com/zvld/go-placid https://soundcloud.com/zvld/regen https://soundcloud.com/zvld/haunt https://soundcloud.com/zvld/waerd Anyone got a clue on this one?

I've been trying to find the original songs that were used by the Caretaker. Apart from what I found on whosampled.com and a Youtube channel there isn't much more. I'm the most interested in the ones on 'Everywhere at the end of time stage 2'. I would love to know what that last track is. I did find the first one, which is 'Love's old sweet song' by James Molloy. Discovered it while watching the movie Awakenings. Anyone else know something?

Never heard of this genre before until random video popped up on YT recs. Way off my radar. Is this pop music now? I'm not even really hating on it. Other than Sophie I've never heard of any of these acts. I figured Sophie was kinda leftfield but apparently she's done production for big name pop stars and brands. I feel old and out of touch lol

Just saw him perform last Friday at the London Contmporary Music Festival. Lush to see him return to his Multistability era after a good few years concentrating on more 'contemporary' and non-electronic stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTmKZS8yeHk Fuckin banging Fell is probably my fave electronic musician after the autocray m8s so I thought it would be nice to share tracks and enthusiasm towards his u n i q u e a e s t h e t i c Not erasing Mat Steel from history here.

So I just picked this album up (for 5 bucks at a local record shop) and holy shit, it's awesome! I've heard it talked about here and there, but this deserves much more attention than it gets! It's fucking great. Why the hell do they not have any other stuff really? Why the hell aren't they mentioned more?
