  1. Nothing will ever match the original, its a consummate roller.
  2. Yeah, it basically means that we have confirmed that these events exist, but are rare, in line with other studies. Considering in just the last two weeks we've had studies showing that covid infection causes brain bleeds and the breakdown of the blood brain barrier, degradation of mucosal immunity function, acts in symbiosis with TB and increases risk of new onset dementia, the risk/benefit calculation is clear.
  3. Curious about the unreleased tunes, I thought he'd already deredged his archives.
  4. Im so sorry you both suffered this. May he rest in peace.

    Now Reading

    TBH, I think his shorts 'Last days of new Paris' was my favourite of his, very Ballardian in places. Quite liked the Census taker, and his book on the October revolution is pretty good as well. Generally find his long fiction a bit too kitsch, I think I liked Iron Council cos it was basically built around ideas from revolutionary politics. There was some minor scandal around him a few years back IIRC, I think he's become pretty reclusive since.

    Im not to keen on Perdido myself, but I thought Iron council was really good.
  8. Just found out that DJ Spatts died in December.
  9. The A-side sounds a bit like a crusty unreleased Soapbar 12" from 1992. The B-side is just a total mess.
  10. We all have our foibles! My impression is that he has mellowed significantly with age.
  11. Ah yeah, he's an absolute gentleman. A lovely guy.
  12. Dont give him covid! There's nothing confidential there really. He was on stage playing a Rephlex (?) gig somewhere, and no one had seen Richard in a while, and when Kevin looked under the table all the gear was on, guess who was underneath waving a stage light into the crowd? He stayed there for ages apparently, cackling to himself
  13. I got to speak to Kevin Martin recently in advance of his gig in Dublin on Friday. Thought it may be of interest to some WATMMers. Unfortunately I stopped recording before his Aphex story. https://nialler9.com/meditation-and-provocation-a-conversation-with-the-bug/
  14. I cant stand the Enya crap and the awful trance leads, but this is pretty great.
  15. I cant think of another artist who has descended into such a parody of his former self.

  18. Wow Absolutely essential. Been looking for this for over 20 years.
  19. It sounds ridiculous, but I remember being a bit disappointed with this when it came out. I guess mainly because almost everything he released in the lead up to it was so good, and there was a certain sterility to the overall sound on the album. I dont think anything on it would come near my Photek top 10.
  20. They're great. Bought it yesterday.

    Stone in Focus

    First time I heard it was early 1995 on that same compilation, having already rinsed the CD version of SAW II.
