  1. i dunno. there used to be 4 minute trailers, with a voice-over explaining the plot and telling you watch it for the great ending (only important bit missing from trailer) i guess really mysterious trailers don't always work, as far as getting an audience in.. so they've stopped doing it. You know what really fucks me off with modern trailers these days? Those quick "fade to black" cuts - a few are OK, but FFS, don't have every scene in the trailer do it!
  2. I'm actually planning on taking TM classes once my instructor returns to the US. I too was skeptical at first (and still am to some extent), but I'm keeping an open mind going in.
  3. When we can observe supernovae at point blank range, Autechre will likely be long since dead. Yes, but the music will probably be around in some form or another. Unless, moving to a digital medium means one day the archival servers hold the Autechre Master Recordings from 1991 until their retirement in 2028 might get destroyed in a fire or conflict and they will be lost forever, and the purists could not settle for mere "limited" CD quality versions on physical media that at this point is fragile and hardly any devices can play them due to their antiquated format.
  4. Well, that's what they said - perhaps it wasn't geared for that much inbound traffic. Mind you, this was 1999-2000!
  5. LOL, I was dumb enough at the time to use it at work, and then the IT Network Admin came to me saying it crashed their firewall and to uninstall it.
  6. Yeah, I have it somewhere - I don't think the quality is great though, as I recall those were some of the first MP3s I ever had, and they were probably 128/192 at best. I remember playing these on my Creative RIO (remember that Mp3 player?) on my home stereo... I'm sure somebody has the unedited tape of the original broadcast... Thanks for the reply :) I've been looking for the complete original broadcast for yeaaars now but I've never seen anybody with it, I guess you're our only hope I also still have the 128kbps versions of the other tracks from the Kazaa days. LOL, I think that's where mine came from - that, or Audiogalaxy. Now THAT takes me back. My first P2P client!

  8. And the winner of the awsome strange pictures thread goes to... The blurring and warping underneath the robots 'ribs' and next to his shins ruins it for me... and now you too. The fence is warped in places not around the robot, so I think you're just being a bit too picky.
  9. The man has a point, although dystopian science fiction isn't exactly something that only recently have come up. But there is indeed a general pessimism and lack of belief in the future being better. It's quite an interesting phenomenon, where did this disenchantment of the future come from even if we get introduced to more and more technological advancements that could have been barely thought of 50 years ago. Is it the lack of jet packs, flying cars and vacations to the moon that has toned down our optimism for the future or is it part of a larger problem, such as the current economic system showing its flaws and unsustainability in more apparently than it perhaps used to. I do like to read SF about post-scarcity and anarchistic societies like Banks Culture novels and dream of a future where that would be possible. I think this disenchantment comes from this (my) generation's realization that all the promises of the future (flying cars, etc.) by the turn of the century are in reality probably decades, if not a whole generation off, if ever. I personally think my kids will be living (and already are to some extent) in an amazing time, where just like we saw things like typewriters and phyiscal meda for music become redundant, they'll see things now become redundant as well, along with ideas we can't even fathom now. The reality is a lot of science fiction is becoming reality - the digital pads from Star Trek in the 1960s are here and almost becoming ubiquitous in society, and the whole Dick Tracy video watches are also a reality, if not exactly a practical application of the idea.
  10. I thought hipster glasses were 3D glasses, just without the LCD lenses... Is that a yes or a no? Well, a true hipster would watch it in 3D without the glasses...
  11. I watched the latest trailer last night, and I must say, this looks impressive. It will be interesting to see if the story holds up as well as the visuals.
  12. I like auspechres... they make great music
  13. Surprised nobody's mentioned Scharlach Eingang one of my favourite BW releases...
  14. Good call on the gherkins or capers - that would certainly compilment the tuna flavour well. Dunno about mustard, but I'd be willing to try.
  15. Holy hell - is there any room for tuna? I like to keep my tuna salad simple - tuna (water packed), finely diced onion (red if we have some on hand), sea salt and cracked pepper, a bit of lime juice, and diced celery, and mayonaise.
  16. Having to delete/unapprove stupid rolling lols
  17. Rephlex 50th Birthday Release of Analord 1-10 on super high density holographic media
