    What's your price point? There's one for sale on Discogs for 2500 €.

    Sixth release in Science Cult's Astra Spectra series, sharp, dark, and detailed electro with a Syrte remix. Highly recommended.

    A huge collection of mainly variable electro and other electronics from names across the globe, known and unknown. Highly recommended.

    Part B.
  6. dcom
    A full-length journey into the heavy pressure depths of glitchy technoid acid electro bass, hot on the heels of his previous outing on Colony. Highly recommended.
  7. dcom
    Dark repetitive depth-charged techno journeys, 12th in Amotik's eponymous series. Highly recommended.
  8. dcom
    Heavily driven electro for stoboscopic dancefloors on Nite Fleit's Atomic Alert, with remixes by Dexorcist and Nite Fleit. Highly recommended.
  9. dcom
    Harsh and distorted electro, breaks, and acid from Geyzel. Recommended.
  10. dcom
    Deep, melodic acid/breaks journeys, availalble first on dubplate vinyl (25 pcs), then hopefully in digital. Highly recommended.
  11. dcom
    A Winged Victory For The Sullen - S/T (Erased Tapes); beautiful, longing contemporary classical/ambient. Highly recommended.
  12. dcom
    Saturated/distorted electro/breaks/techno from Nexus 23, recommended.

    I love it, my favourites are in order Alien, Alien3, Aliens, Resurrection, Covenant, Prometheus. I also have over a half of a meter of Alien franchise comics, there's a huge amount of good stories there and a lot of them are more worth your while than some of the movies. There's also this three-hour documentary on the making of Aliens, Superior Firepower, which is rather awesome.

    The original comic series is amazing, the series adaptation is... not bad at all. Both recommended.

    Minnesota police want drivers to carry a special pouch so they don't get shot during traffic stops (The Why Axis)

    That's a fair interpretation, although my purpose was to show that it's not that simple to make a choice nowadays, especially when it comes to technology: the choices are myriad and the combinatorial explosion of available options is an avalanche of technical jargon, and we're expected to understand the pros and cons of various configurations from CPU, memory, hard disk, screen type and resolution, available ports and connectors, operating system etc. I'm a tech person through and through, and even I can't make an exact, specific, bottom-up choice but lean into heuristics like what I've had before (Dell or Lenovo - I'm a PC/Windows/Linux user), maximizing the specs to the hilt first and if (when) the result is too expensive, scale down/downgrade e.g. from 32 gigs of memory to 16 gigs, smaller capacity SSD, less performant CPU (from i9 to i7, less GHz...) etc. Schwartz's Paradox of Choice is specifically about being inundated with choice and how fewer options contribute to easier selection; optimal stopping is about when you should stop looking and just make a choice; satisficers vs. maximizers is about what is enough vs. getting the best deal possible; Algorithms to Live By is about the implicit algorithmic processes in our lives and how not to go insane about them. My point was that trying to be as rational as possible about choices is super hard, and I feel you - I just got a new (personal) laptop in January, it took me a week to filter the possibilities down to a shortlist of three, out of which I chose the most expensive.

    Duplicate thread.

    Kraftwerk's Trans-Europe Express at 304 is probably closest we can get.

    Commence the bickering.

    The album's premiere stream just finished and in the chat Martin divulged that the last Touched release of the year is going to be a 5CD V/A box set (300 pcs), and played some tracks from it, Heogen, Buspin Jieber and JT and the Bee (John Tejada & Mason Bee). Really looking forward to it. There will be some releases in the interim, too, a new Heogen album at least, if I'm not mistaken.

    Already out now in full, grab yours quickly; it's a beautiful album.

    Tom Middleton's new album as GCOM, varied fare from ambient through downtempo to drum'n'bass. Pre-order at Bleep, more clips at Juno.

    Just got notice that Pulse State will release Buspin Jieber's new 20-track album tomorrow, available as a limited run CD and digital; colour me enthusiastic - I adore everything he's released already, V.H.S. Volcanic/Harmonic/Sounds on Touched is a brilliant introduction. Here's the first taster of the new album:

    Arpanet - Quantum Transposition (RePHLeX). I was vacillating between getting the digital instead of the CD, but I wanted the physical to fill the hole in my RePHLeX collection (which already had this on vinyl). I was actually quite surprised that the digital is officially available, but it's very expensive. I'll most probably pick up Transllusion's L.I.F.E. next, it doesn't seem to be available for purchase digitally; I do have that one on vinyl, too, but I can't take that with me to work.

    10th and 11th in People Can Listen's compilation series, more quality electronics than you can shake a stick at. PWYW, highly recommended.
