The embossed cloth on Moby Dick is really something else. Really happy to see SPQR has that many pages and loads of illustrations as well. 

The Moby Dick looks v.nice. I like the clothbound Penguin classics series. I've got the Austen series and The Ring of the Nibelung.

custom clearance... ouch. 

[Purelink - Signs [Peak Oil]]

^I picked up the other EPs this afternoon, "maintain the bliss” is wicked.

[Purelink - Signs [Peak Oil]]

This dropped today on Peak Oil. Excellent album of ambient and dub elements. Late 90s early 00s vibe, would fit nicely alongside some of the classic City Centre Offices releases. 

@cern and @logakght think you'll both like this (if you're not familiar with them already)

Poster arrived today. Poster arrived today in a terrible condition.

Fuck you very much FedEx. A pox on your house.

[post something controversial about you]

I think Aphex and Sqaurepusher are overrated. I find a lot of their music mind numbingly meh.

I love SAW II and I Care Because You Do. Feed Me... and Hard Normal Daddy are cool; for the most part. Those two Aphex albums hold a special place in my heart, they were an important part of growing up and music discovery, but otherwise, meh. 

 

[TU M' - Monochromes Vol​.​2 [Line]]

dropped today, very very good. 

[Steve Roden passes away at 59 (1964-2023)]

Sad news. I got introduced to his work when I started listening to more experimental electronic music via labels like Line and Trente Oiseaux. 

RIP.
