  1. hey.. just noticed my subsription had expired last december and not auto-renewed.. tried to pay it but it just says "There was an error processing the payment. Please try a different payment method or contact us for assistance.".. whatever payment method i used last time should still work.. can't find anywhere which will let me check or change it - only the billing/shipping address. any ideas? ? (unsure if this is to do with the new forum sw or not) i think i accidentally changed my subscription type while messing around clicking on things but, no biggie..
  2. yess that's got a rad groove to it! great stuff
  3. this is ace! had preordered as soon as i heard all the birdy sounds. this is my first bjarki. been listening every day and i'm really into it. ps i too noticed the corc sample right away.. i love corc and had sampled that same bit and used it in heaps of tracks back in the day :)))

    Is it a little weird with all the centaur sex? Or a lot weird? How was the trilogy altogether? sorry, only just saw this.. yeah it was weird.. it goes into it, and like, breeding, love, genetics, in scientific detail. they aren't really centaurs but a race (titanides) resembling them, created sort of as an experiment by a super ancient advanced, but now quite mad, alien mind.. (the books take place inside a space environment which is (/appears to be) the giant body of this mind)... they have two different sets of genitals, one for romantic/fun type sex and one for breeding. there are 28 (or some number like that, i forget) different possible breeding group configurations. there are some small diagrams in the book explaining these a bit. the alien mind has, as partially a cruel joke and partially a measure to avoid overpopulation, made it so that for their eggs to be fertilised requires the saliva of one specific human................ yeah i really liked those books! can't really say smart things about them or anything but they went places. (i was surprised, after the cover art makes em look like some kind of pulpy fantasy). i really love very vividly conjured landscapes, that's sort of my favourite thing in books, and these were great at that..

    I'm reading the Aegypt series of books by John Crowley, who i'd not heard of until a couple weeks ago.. love em so far! I was first drawn in by seeing them described - sounds like secret history / occult / religion type stuff, with bits starring fictionalised versions of historical personages set in the 1500-1600s, something i always enjoy - but they're not quite what I expected.. beautifully low key.. vivid rural scapes.. the second book so far has been almost entirely a super detailed bit of Kentucky mountains childhood memories.
  6. nice :) didn't know of OzOrg. god, i'd forgotten about irc quiz channels.. so addictive.. and, i was introduced to autechre by an irc friend too. good old irc <3
  7. I once sent an email to my ISP to ask how I could get one of those cool shell addresses to appear in IRC instead of the usual IP.ISP.org.au. i somehow got into an ANSI art group as a coder one time. they gave me a shell account with one of those cool addresses haha.. IRCing from lemon.ice.org, so 1337.. got chucked out of the group a couple months later cuz i didn't actually do anything except leech stuff via the shell... where'd you guys IRC at.. anyone else used to hang out in efnet #music? that'd be weird.. =)

    nearing the end of John Varley's Gaea trilogy.. scifi. these got pretty good as they went on! some unexpected directions.. lots of centaur sex.. quite reminding me of Terry Pratchett's stuff in some ways, though these are much less explicitly humourous..
  9. found a little old 34cm CRT TV.. i've been wanting one for awhile.. plugged in the PS3 and it works, yay! got a nice collection of PS1 stuff on there and now it looks beautiful. Umihara Kawase! G-Darius! Chrono Cross! LSD DREAM EMULATOR. also a couple PS2 games i love which i was halfway through playing last time i had a tv- SMT Nocturne and Baroque. glory be. (also loaded up Demon's Souls, lol.. so cute on this telly..)
  10. ooh thanks for uploading these Manju! magic. i feel this stuff is going to be my night time listening for awhile <3
  11. lush thebro! can hear some of that ozric tentacles influence in this one :) those pads!
  12. this is one of the best things ever
  13. Katamari Damacy! been wanting to get into it for yeeeears - i'd only briefly played it before, the Japanese version which i couldn't read.. god it's a joy also, SpinTires: MudRunner. strangely engrossing! wasn't sure if i'd get into it but the amazingly detailed Getting Bogged physics are satisfying AF to play with.
  14. cool! i'm well up fot an album of Land On type stuff in particular, love that one
  15. i really like arche, esp tracks 2 and 6.. was zoning out to it early this morning.. looking forward to putting it on again tonight!
  16. Vessel - Queen of Golden Dogs https://vesseluk.bandcamp.com/album/queen-of-golden-dogs i love this! it got what i think of as Jlin technique, but with a totally different palette and style..
  17. i really like this one. especially the wwwwooooowww sounds and how they fit with the rest. extremely ear bathing loveliness, it's relaxing :) (i'm not too good at wide focusing on the story either, small details and general vibe is what i usually notice fwiw.. so not very useful feedback but.. i could listen to an hour of this..)
  18. my own lil hectic arcade game.. been working on an update for it the last few days and playing it way too much while testing.. my eyes have gone wrong... (it's at https://eryngi.itch.io/forget-me-not-r ...self promotion yehhh... if anyone on here wants a free copy just message me tho hey)
  19. that looks like a great bit of spooky forest! my stupio...
  20. it's a cool start.. i'd love to hear more variation over time, eg with the main synth riff that comes in around 0:15 (and continues for the whole song), it sounds like just the same synth stab played over and over.. it'd be cool if that had some automation/knob twiddling/fx on it, eg to give it a churning sort of sound, or dubstep wobbs, slideyness, rhythmgate stutter, or whatever suits :) just an example thought anyway... i think some more automation on the various parts (if possible with whatever tools you're using) could bring it to life!
