Call me a heathen, but this is my favourite Plaid track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDDnuZAL9ps&playnext=1&list=PL3A22A1996AE53D66

Blimey, you beat me to it. I actually got the Watchbird Alluminate album today and have played the crap out of it. Loved it so much I had to d/l the The Fallen By Watchbird which is also great.

This track is great. My conscience won't let me just nick it though.

Maybe it's because there hasn't been anything 'new' released digitally by Rephlex in over a year now, for whatever reason? Perhaps because he's free to put stuff out whenever he wants through Bandcamp? I do wonder sometimes if artists ever get frustrated by Rephlex's intermittent release schedules.

That's just what I assumed this album is, especially from the '00' bit.

Interesting quote from Jim Jupp in relation to the new album by John Foxx and The Maths: From The Belbury Parish Magazine.

Weird, it was playing just as I read this and I thought of 73 Yips too.

Shit yes, this'll do for me. I almost feel nostalgic about this, the original releases remind me of good times.

If that ring made Frodo invisible why didn't he use it to spy on naked women and shit?

It'd be a shame if at least a few copies of the vinyl issues didn't make it overseas. If the microcosm of WATMM is anything to go by, it's not just us quaint folk in the British Isles who love a bit of GB.

According to this page on the GB site, their releases are available here, if that's any help...?

I've got most of the Mount Vernon releases. E for Experimental is a compilation of lots of shorter, radiophonic-esque tracks. Gummy Twinkle is a noisier album, sounds like pulsing electricity..lots of feedback loops. His other stuff is mostly 20 minute + pieces... Warminster is a much longer version of the Warminster 4 track on 'Seance..' It's a collaboration with Adrian Utely, so it's got quite a Portishead feel to it, unsurprisingly. One Minute Blasts Rising To Three Then Diminishing and Musick That Destroys Itself (the latter released under his Mount Vernon Astral Temple moniker) are droney, noisy pieces, similar in style to the tracks on Gummy Twinkle. They make me think of primitive experiments with electricity being conducted in a dark cellar. Right then, I'm off to pillage the discogs marketplace...

very yes. think somewhere between eric zann and demdike stare, with a hint of bbc radiophonic magic and a sprinkling of the quatermass experiment. edit: it's a reissue, and it's the only reissue on ghost box. messrs house/jupp don't just rerelease any old shit! I've sometimes wondered what the other Mount Vernon stuff sounds like. Also, a bit more info on the next Study Series singles, released 1st April, here.

kaini, I'm not fooled by that face for a second. It's obvious that she's a reet bogger (and a beaut, btw). I've always thought that terriers as a whole are particularly intelligent, with a personality all of their own, which you can try to control at your peril. But then, why would you want to?

Staffordshire Bull Terriers. Please disregard the chav stereotypes, they're beautiful, placid and friendly dogs and soft as shite.

However impressive or whatever else it may be, the main thing for me is that I like the sound of the tunes.

V2000 Head would've been pretty shit as well I suppose.

If he was really that clever he'd have used Betamax samples.

I wonder how much mileage that premise is going to have? Interesting to hear what he comes up with next.

It is indeed. I plan to play it out while reading the stories themselves, never tried reading with a musical theme before. With regards to GB, one release I always end up coming back to more than any other is 'Sketches and Spells'. It just defines the label for me and the reason that I first took an interest.

which is why i have so much respect for VHS Head - you can hear it in the music itself that he has a lot of passion for it, otherwise he just wouldn't be able to do what he does with such character and attention to detail. Precisely. And if that really is how he sources his music, just making the Video Club EP alone must've taken fucking ages. And btw, I wasn't trying to disrespect all you knob twiddlers. I just can't don't make music myself and so don't normally care too much for or understand the technical aspects of what I listen to.

Don't know or give a fuck what a DAW is or any of the rest of that technobabble, but in terms of sheer painstaking ballachery, how the fuck can he make records like that? I agree, that'd make the record even more impressive than it already is. I don't think for a minute that osc is mistaken, btw. Did that info come from a horse's mouth...?

Bought some of these fairly recently which I really like: Plus about 6 other pairs of trainers since them. And me, a grown man.
