Yeah, I recall SAW 1.5 being mentioned at one point too. And I agree the Bleep store associations don't always feel that accurate. Any links to the old YouTube or SC playlists would be welcome. I quite enjoy that side of it, the detective work. I spend a lot of time going through tapes and sessions in my day job, it's by far the most fun part. Putting the finished release together always feels a bit flat by comparison ?

Thanks Key - that'd be great! I found a few things where people had tried, but head scratching seems to be order of the day. Cheers, Richard

That's such a clever response. The use of the term "IDM" tells me all I need to know. Can any grown ups give me a proper answer please? It'd be nice to be able to place them into some kind of chronology and dive in properly.

Thanks, but I don't see anything there that catergorises the tracks, or am I missing something? Richard

Sorry, I'm sure the information is buried here among these 700+ pages, but is there any easily accessible catalogue of rough chronology for the SC dump stuff? I thought I'd make up a bunch of CDs to play in the car, which is where most of my AFX happens (wife = not so keen), and ideally I'd like to do it in some kind of order. SAW, SAWII, RDJ related etc.... Ta, Richard

Just playing my vinyl for the first time (having been hammering the WAVs). So far so good, just the odd bit of surface noise. FWIW, I think this is his best shit in years. This and CCAI really stand out for me from the new releases since the 'revival'. New directions! Go easy on Warp guys*. I work for a label, and this won't be their doing. From the sounds of it the pressing plant and the distributor will be getting it in the neck. *Although I agree the extra tracks would've been nice on wax too.

I'd really like to hear the album of field recordings he mentioned way back when.

I know I bought it, but it's not there anymore.... Where'd it go? Spooky. Or not. Anybody up for a 24 hour Sun Ra session?

Ha!

Aw, I was looking forward to that.

Yeah, I ignored both Ventolin EPs for the longest time, not particularly liking the title track. But the others are much better! And now I'm at the point where I like even the Ventolin track too. I'm in too deep... Same here , I was thinking about Ventolin/ICBYD yesterday - at the time I was all over SAW, SOSW, the AB and XT EPs and maybe On was out by then too, but Ventolin just turned me off for some reason, and I didn't really care for ICBYD either. Then RDJ and CTD came along and were great. Definitely a little blip at the time. Enjoyed getting back into them a few years ago.

Does anyone remember the old days when the first thing you'd do is get up in the morning and check your faxes? Would love an AFX fax release next.

I have one - pretty good but the original is obviously another level.

Holler to that.

I thought the same, I was nonplussed with the 12" at the time, but this new extended version felt great.
