    I just signed up, but no invite email. Have I missed a boarding of the good boat ae? Don't leave me on the shore, ae! Sail not into that gentle night! Sail not! So do only people who signed up within 24 hours get access to this inestimable treasure?

    That's just the standard symbol for 'section'.

    Hmm, I've engaged super-sleuth mode.* So, a google search for 1800-JESUS69 gives me as one of the results an archive.org link to (apparently the full text of) Hegel's Theological writings. There is a section titled "Jesus" on page 69, but oddly that page is missing from that link, with a note saying that this part of the manuscript is lost. But there's another copy at http://hegel.net/hegelwerke/Hegel1948-OnChristianity-EarlyTheologicalWritings.pdf, where at page 87 of the pdf you can find the relevant 'Jesus 69' section, which may well have been written in 1800 (can't confirm yet, but these manuscripts were written between 1793 and 1801). !! Reading the text, I think it is clear RDJ wishes for us to raise religion to the status of morality. SO BEGINNETH A NEW REIGN OF RELIGIOUSNESS! *may not be as accomplished at sleuthing as it sounds

    I know you've both talked about graff, and HR Giger, but are there any other visual artists you particularly like? Kandinsky? Lucian Freud? Ryoji Ikeda's installations? btw, I recc http://thisisnthappiness.com/ which is good for a browse for some mainly 20th century stuff, even if it can be a bit twee.

    I remembered what I meant to ask ages ago - is the synth line that comes in towards the background at around 3:48 in YJY UX you quoting/paraphrasing yourselves from known(1)? I swear the synth itself and the phrase is very similar. Would be really interesting to know how much you take bits of your own older stuff and pull it apart/reassemble again.

    I'm guessing you might have come across Penderecki too, especially since afx did a collab of sorts around Polymorphia (as did Jonny Greenwood).

    If we're asking about classical stuff, do either of you know/like Scriabin? I think you might like the intensity of it, the out of place phrases fighting against each other into some strange cloud. And further back, Bach's cello suites are ridiculously good.

    where would u put burial in the above categories? Those categories were a bit rubbish, sorry. I'd put Burial in the second one. I guess I'm interested in what you two think of stuff like his that's made completely from samples, using a computer, but still arranged by hand (and not necessarily sequenced according to some complex metre and tempo structure). Are you drawn towards listening to stuff that has machine precision as a major part of its identity, or do you also appreciate stuff like his that has a more heavily human character? disclaimer: I realise this question is a bit stupid and you can draw the line on human intervention/decision making in different places, but I suppose that's what I'd love to hear your thoughts on.

    Do you both mainly listen to sequenced electronic/synthesised music, or are you also into hand-arranged sample layers stuff? What do you think of Burial, for example?

    I have recently got a pair of ADAM F5 monitor speakers, and very nice they are too: Running through a bog-standard Line6 UX1 audio interface: Plus a pair of Audio Technica M50 headphones:
