Only going to listen to it if the files have gone through these cables: and this cable cleaner:

dang ... well that's the biggy ruined !

Not sure how far you've got and I don't want to say nuffink about nuffink ... but IMO it definitely gets better as it progresses ! (It's one of my favourite games of all time)

To be fair, when you've stuck this banger out in '98 it'd be near impossible to live up to expectations

Think it's still a big app for NI and we're getting VST3 and Silicon support soon (or now if you're happy using the beta) - https://synthanatomy.com/2023/02/native-instruments-reaktor-6-5-0-brings-vst3-and-native-apple-silicon-support-now-in-beta.html

The most complete version of Orbus Terrarum is actually the 12'' - especially in comparison to the UK CD which is missing both the intro to Oxbow Lakes and the last section of Slug Dub (the US CD is just missing the Oxbow Lakes intro)

I've not seen it either - I know the CD release had multiple versions of the Draft image inside, presumably they were stills chosen from that video ? Can't imagine there's a whole video for the entirety of Surripere, would love there to be but alas I think Alex would probably still be working on the video now if so !

Talking of Boomkat - In their newsletter this week they stylise the band name as AU Techre. Is this Boomkat just being odd or is this actually a thing ?!

I've every Orb album since Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld (some as multiples, eg Ultraworld and UFOrb as both the original and the deluxe reissues) though with every release Alex's role within the group mystifies me more and more (to the point of which the infamous 'Weston rant' now seems less of a rant and more of a truth-bomb (though his opinion of Fehlmann's look can get to f***) https://web.archive.org/web/20140626033214/https://krisweston.com/index.php/rant/ ) Would love to come across any examples of a Paterson solo piece just to be proven wrong that he can make music though !

Aye, I'll wait for a digital copy (I'm crossing my fingers the 'exclusively' doesn't end up actually being exclusive !)

Yep, though instead of just getting a picture as your 'receipt' you also get a version of the album (and what seems like an interview video too?). But yeah its NFT stuff

Heard Snivilisation for the first time in years and forgot this track existed:

Heading to a logakght party:

I tried typing something whilst Obu was playing and it felt like my fingers were upside down and inside out.

Woah that collection takes me back - Though nicely priced I wonder why he's started charging for them (especially as they're still just 32bit vsts and don't appear to have been updated since the 00s when they were still gratis)

I didn't actually realise he'd done anything for about 10 years. Last I saw of him he looked like Cory Feldman's stunt double, but now he seems to be going for more of a Drake's stunt double look

Digital version now available on Bandcamp ? River Of Dreams by Romance & Dean Hurley

Think that cover is from the 60s Romeo & Juliet film that caused 10 year old me to have weird feelings in my tummy when I saw it at school .... (and a very flustered looking teacher) Hopefully it'll be on Bandcamp soon - unfortunately I've ran out of space for non-digital vinals

This is the reason he gave back in 2012 ( https://web.archive.org/web/20121214011851/http://www.themilkfactory.co.uk/interviews/cclark_2_iw.htm? His original moniker 'Chris From St Albans' I guess also sounded too much like an indie band....

FUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk offfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff ????? (this is that horrendous linked vimeo link in that picture by the way - The incorrect text-encoding in the video title text definitely shows their level of quality standards ) Wow the boys have definitely fallen far from their 'The Girl with the Sun in Her Head' era (made using the electricity provided by Greenpeace's mobile solar power generator) to now releasing NFT-ized limited editions ?

Nah he likes Hecker ... just more the Florian kind ? The track in the first post sounds quite different from his previous stuff, sounds more akin to something by Ben Frost. Am I right in thinking they collabed in the past, maybe he borrowed some composing tips ! This is my favourite of his, much less crunchy and lots of lovely field recordings and other found sound snippets

Similar energy:

Cycling into the thread like Stoya on a bike: How lovely is this mix for lovely lazy Sunday afternoons ?! Been listening though this about an hour at a time for the past 5 weeks and the track selection for pottering around the place doing little jobs is just *chef's kiss*

It's a COMPRESSED format ... though one that is LOSSLESS (Think a .zip made from an .exe - The .zip is smaller but you'd expect the same .exe bytes back after you've uncompressed it!) Whatever you're using isn't working properly in that case ?

I said 'Bonjour' and from my limited French vocabulary I think I got scolded and told to say more than just 'Bonjour'
