    Good thread. Cappadonna's contribution to Winter Warz has gotta be up there for me.

    Bill Burr wasn't as jarring as I expected him to be, and I'd have to agree with you @realthanks he was great in that scene. I've disliked Star Wars for a long time, but have been pleasantly surprised by the Mandalorian. Only started watching it 3 weeks ago, so late to the party, but it's been great fun so far.

    Couldn't agree more. One of the classic 90's album, captures a moment in time, and vibe, perfectly. It's their most accomplished album. I would have picked this myself, the drumming across Reggatta de Blanc is... Copeland gets bonus points for writing the Equalizer theme too.

    Tune, such a good album. Shame they never hit this level again (IMO) Hell on Earth was a good follow up, but there's not one duff track on The Infamous.

    This sounds pretty good. I picked up his first album Dance Slow, and the Vertigo Contracto 12" (Holed Up on side b is a wicked) but haven't really followed him since then.

    Only one listen so far. It's good, there's some very nice tracks on here. Certainly has that feel of some of the Twitter tracks he's released. Happy I bought this, t-shirt is wicked too. The piano makes an appearance in some of the tracks, and there are a few fast tempo pieces on here, Try Again and Errr!, sort of juke vibe to my ears. Errr! is absolutely wicked, probably fave track at the moment. Beautiful slow piano refrain behind frenetic beats, and when the string/pads drop coming up to the 8 min mark... pretty epic. Promo sounds like he's sampled the the beat from I Can't Go For That, keep expecting Daryl Hall to start crooning.

    It arrived today, t-shirt is very nice, though looks like a big M to me. It was very easy to access the album, no too much faffing about. About to take a listen now.
  8. Scaramouche
    You need to buy the shirt. It's on the pricey side, but the t-shirt does look good. It ships from the States, but with December and COVID, might take a while. I did get a dispatch note straight away Friday, so fingers crossed.

    Sisko is my favourite Captain, I think he has a great character arc over the 7 seasons. Jake can be a little annoying at times, but you don't get many shows that have quite a positive view of single parent, father and son relationship. It's quite tender in places. Wait for some Jake and Nog high jinks, and some self sealing stem bolts. Ahhh Dax, aka the "one with the slug", is awesome. However, she would face being cancelled in today's cultural appropriation wars, for the fetishisation of Klingon culture. Before re-starting Voyager Season 1, I did watch the 2 parter Future's End the other night. I forgot how good some of the Voyager episodes could be, and that ep was easily up there with the other series. Love a bit of temporal prime directive shenanigans, and capitalism is bad, bad dudes.

    In the interest of continued peace in the Alpha Quadrant, I will happily re-watch Voyager, and I hope you will watch DS9 ? I'm not a fan of JJ Abrams, always found his work "meh", and I think he missed the point with Star Trek with the films. I managed 2 episodes of Discovery, but it was just full of 'plosions and people running around corridors. You've got a whole galaxy - and time - to play with, and they keep trying to add to the history around TOS. That being said, I did finally get around to watching Enterprise this year, and bar a patchy first season, I really enjoyed it, though that last episode... I'd like to see a Trek series that has something a little bit more positive to say about the future, showing us being the "better angels of our nature". Have a show that can act as a pull to get people into science, and fit in some of the great discoveries from astronomy and physics from the last decade.

    TNG was a bit shaky in the first few seasons (though I love them all) but you really start to get some gems, with the occasional duff episode. Never got into Voyager, though it's still worth watching. DS9 has always been my fave, awesome cast, and great character development. At its best Star Trek is just awesome. They could still do something awesome with it, just need to sort the rights out, and get people that actually like it behind a new show.

    Well worth checking out, up to Vol.12 now. I've had quite a few Jeff Mills days during lockdown when I need a musical pick me up. Very happy to finally delete my vinyl rip of Vol.4
  14. Scaramouche
    Vol.4 was the first Jeff Mills release I picked up on vinyl, worth the price of admission for A1 alone (IMO). I've been enjoying the series starting up again this year, and now Axis are offering offering Vol.4 as a free download (MP3/WAV) from today, until the 26th of December. https://www.axisrecords.com/axis-shop/

    Arrived! the tee looks pretty good too.
  16. Scaramouche
    Awesome news. I nearly picked this up on eBay, as it's on my wantlist. Glad I didn't pull the trigger.
  17. Scaramouche
    There should be a biopic of the Autechre story, or maybe a series a la Wu-Tang: An American Saga. Start off on the mean streets of Rochdale, bus stop tagging, making tapes... Each series comes with a selection of unreleased tracks from the archives for that time period. I'm thinking, maybe Gary Barlow could play Rob now. Not sure about Sean, maybe Adam Levine? Both have acting experience, and would be able to tap into their vast musical reserves to nail the roles. Still loving PLUS, but no shipping update ?

    I've been picking up the Millsart releases on Axis, but need to check this and the other releases out.
  19. Scaramouche
    That QR code only takes you to the https://whoisactress.com/ store...Hmmm. I love both 88 and K&D, so anything extra will be welcome.
  20. Scaramouche
    Awesome artist. Very much looking forward to it arriving. Been listening to Pt.1 and Pt.2 a lot recently.

    How to overcome the licencing issues for the remixes, so you can get a box set released? (and would a https://www.parliament.uk/get-involved/sign-a-petition/ be useful in getting this cultural project off of the ground?)

    Looks like Ninja Tune have taken 88 down from Bandcamp. No download code came with the tape (at least with my copy)
  24. Scaramouche
    Just calling out that the crystal fuchsia version was available from Bleep, not about the cassette bundles, lack of clarity on my part ? Bit annoying that they haven't sold the cassette separately, or extend the bundles as you say. I ordered from Ninja Tune, got the clear version and tape. My copy is a tad on the noisy side, which is a bummer. I'd have liked the options of the other copies, before buying.

    That's the Bleep exclusive: https://bleep.com/release/202780-actress-karma-desire
