    @conjugacy100% agree with this. Jon Brooks decline (ok, that's a bit of an exaggeration) seems to have coincided with the (IMO) lack of quality in the Ghostbox output. Sometimes, he's put out amazing stuff - '52', The Advisory Circle, (except the last one which was not so good) and the amazing 'Walberswick'. Lately, I've even gone back to the 'King of Woolworths' stuff - although back when I bought that in 2001, It was because 'Bakerloo' had been used on a TV advert for 'Orange Mobile', a UK network carrier. I'd been listening to Advisory Circle for years before I made the connection with King of Woolworths.

    Out on Friday. I know, the 'Burial' sound is something everyone either likes or doesn't. Sometimes I think it's nothing more than some crackling effects and tape hiss but probably there is more to it than that. Personally, I love the Burial mix on this. The other tracks are also good. https://bleep.com/release/207148-charles-webster-feat-ingrid-chavez-burial-the-spell-burial-mix

    Thanks so much!

    @purlieu Do you know a good source for tracking down film samples? One that's nagged away at me for many years is the sample towards the end of the excellent Radio 1 FM session from 12th April 1993 with Pete Tong. The sample starts at 1:51:45

    I know what you mean. I looked at Discogs in regard to Global Communication. The album that 14:31 appears on wasn't released until June 1994. How did FSOL manage to incorporate it into their set list a year earlier? (19th May 1993).

    @purlieu @NewSchoolScience Thanks, guys. Much appreciated.

    @purlieu I recently had a listen to some of the early Kiss 100 FM sessions. Incredible how well they have survived. These transmissions were required listening when I was at university in the early 90s. It was a different age back then. At the 35 min mark on the link below, do you know who the artist is? I've look on the FSOL Message board (link below) but it's unclear. It sounds a little like early Black Dog but I'm not even sure they were active during that period. http://www.ilovecubus.co.uk/fsolboard/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=503 Broadcast is below. Track slowly fades in at 35 mins. A really beautiful piece. Any help appreciated.

    ‘You will forget about me’ features a sample from the 1994 movie, ‘The Shadow’. Just made the connection after watching the film today. The lines in the sample are spoken by Alec Baldwin and Penelope Ann Miller.

    Those three albums, Returnal, Replica and R Plus Seven (all following each other) is the best of him, IMO. Some of the best music I've ever heard. I thought the majority of Age Of and Garden of Delete were just pretentious twaddle. Still a super talented artist - That 'Games' collaboration, the Tim Hecker material and those Commissions EPs. Just incredible stuff. I think everyone likes or gravitates to a certain side of his work. That always happens with super talented artists.

    Does JD still post on this forum? He'd be all over this.

    Description of this album has me thinking it's a return to form. Hopefully this will be awesome (if the the below is to be believed)

    Thank you. Much appreciated.

    What did you think of it? Do you have a link maybe?

    Thank you. Much appreciated.

    Off topic but I didn't know where else to post it. Question for FSOL experts, which of the early 90s radio sessions featured a sample from Tangerine Dream's 'Phadrea'? I could have sworn it was a Kiss FM broadcast buy cannot confirm it.

    Dune

    fumi replied to Jafs's topic in General Banter

    I think this will be one of the most expensive mistakes in movie history. The trailer looked good but this is one movie that will not connect with an audience. I was amazed when Blade Runner 2049 came out and totally enjoyed it but audiences didn't care. Dune is even more of a niche SF market. If you've ever read the book, you'll know that this will movie will not appeal to the mainstream audiences. The trailer was made for people who love Dune, it will not resonate with anyone else.

    In case you missed this. Posted pre-covid madness.

    Big Basinski fan but not for me, I'm afraid.

    I'm also so proud of Kanye telling everyone how proud he is that Kim is now officially a billionaire. In today's modern world, with all of us weathering the craziest of storms, its important to remember that financial wealth is the only true measure of a human life.

    Xerrox Voyage is an early favourite but Calypsoid 2 is the real killer track on this album. Shades of 'Shutov Assembly'.

    New material. [ -0º ]

    Limited time only. Issued on V/Vm Bandcamp. Made available again for a limited time due to the number of requests for it in full, this has not been remastered or altered in any way from its original 2006 upload and originally it was only available as an MP3 download. Update, immerse, remember, erase. Originally released in 2006. This is the full unedited and long unavailable 'The Death Of Rave' project. From its original press release. "An audio soup of half remembered rave anthems featuring all of the hits and many misses from the golden age of the Northern U.K. rave scene. From the run down Blackburn warehouses through to the M6 service stations enroute to Shelly's in Stoke the people came. The rave legacy no longer lives on, the corpse of rave bares no resemblance to those heady days in the late eighties and early nineties." https://vvmtest.bandcamp.com/album/the-death-of-rave-additional https://vvmtest.bandcamp.com/album/v-vm-the-death-of-rave-the-source

    Would also be interested in the digital edition.

    Ignore the 80s New Age title. Remastered from 1982 tapes. Sonorous drift of trombones that are strangely alluring and comfortable.

    Still enjoy, (if that's the right word) this collection. It remains one of the most compelling, emotional and ground-breaking releases of the past decade - soothing and terrifying in equal measure. Breathtaking in scope and execution. An absolute masterpiece.
