    A new album from Detroit Underground head honcho Kero, skittering, stuttering, glitchy beats and breaks, quite Gescom-ish. Highly recommended, available on vinyl and in digital. There's also some related NFTs, if you're into that.

    GPR is one of my all time favourite labels and I've read from various sources that Third Shock was next in line on the release schedule, but the label folded with only Disrupt released on Digital Millennium (one of my biggest favourites off the compilation) - which was the last release on the label. There's a single track on Touchin' Bass's Rewire compilation (there was a Kickstarter for it including a streamable [and easily downloadable, 128 kbit] version of Mermaid One - which wasn't included in the release itself), Geometry Of Hope (alas - vinyl only), then there's Schedule One on CD on Gamma Proforma, Kindly Dad 12" on the short-lived Mutant Disco label ran by Beaumont Hannant and Richard Brown (there was just one other release on it, Laura Numans [no relation to Gary] Rabid/Damned) and the two digital only Third Shock releases on Gamma Proforma, Sampler and Mermaid/Manhole. I've asked directly from a couple of people related to Gamma Proforma, but haven't received a reply. Third Shock themselves are also an enigma, they've dropped off the grid completely and there's no information anywhere who they were. Someone must have the Mermaid/Manhole digitals stashed somewhere - anyone? Mermaid One from the Rewire Kickstarter page sounds really interesting, so I would really, REALLY want to get my hands on the full release.

    Now with a fresh remaster of Artifax from Likemind LM01 (and Syncrophone w/ Antigone remix). Really looking forward to getting a copy. The original Artifax is digitally available only on All Tomorrow's Parties 3.0.

    King Crimson's virtuosic guitar track, "Fracture" (from Starless and Bible Black) is considered by most to be impossible to play. Even Robert Fripp himself has stated so. Italian guitarist Maria Barbieri: "Hold my beer."

    Semi-redacted (personal issues). You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time.

    Just to digress and derail the thread a bit more, Tom Holland's Dominion: How the Christian Revolution Remade the World is a great book.

    Religion is responsible for plenty of atrocities, internally and externally. The good parts are good, but the bad are really, REALLY bad at their worst. The Enlightenment wouldn't have come about without religion, or widespread reading and writing skills, to name a few. There's plenty of arguments both ways.

    I was being sarcastic (hence the "humanity is a virus" trope used in e.g. The Matrix). Although I'm a pure-bred atheist, I acknowledge the role and benefits of religiosity and spirituality as mental health support systems - but I also have an extreme dislike of religious people pushing their belief systems on others due to evangelism being a virtue. They think what they're doing is good, but to someone like me, it's an irritant. Nevertheless, I'm not against religion pear se, I just rather keep it away from my mental environment. I also didn't intend to disparage religion by calling it a pandemic - I meant that as an idea virus it's infected most people on earth one way or the other in the context of memetic - whether you're a believer or not, most people have a conception of what religion is - some innately, some extraneously.
