  1. http://www.ovuca.com you can buy me a copy with that tenner Well strip me down and call me Larry! not the first boner I've made this weekend, and probably not the last Did I mention it's a Zimbabwean tenner? Would love to know how many ppl are gonna buy this who lack any means to play it (given that you get the ultra-hi-res flacs with it anyway). Will the musics be rendered in glorious atrac3?
  2. lol I'll put a tenner on it being a DVDR (or mini-DVDR, do they even make these?) but put in packaging meant to resemble a minidisc
  3. I got this a while ago but have criminally neglected it... will have to give it another spin asap
  4. Nice! Have this on CD but it's nice to see it get out in the wild again. Always loved how each disc had a distinctly different vibe to it. Definitely want to cop the bonus tracks. qft/lol (even if I still like them anyway). It's a shame that they just dropped the mic on K&D after this, though if their subsequent projects are any indication perhaps it was a good idea.
  5. Very cool, ae have done some amazing remixes over the years. Wonder how comprehensive this be or if it's someone's best of list
  6. You really should, both vhs albvms are great for entirely different reasons. POV takes you on quite a ride but TROG just beats you senseless. If you like them definitely check out his eps (Midnight Section especially) and the couple of mixes he's done so far - Mary Anne Hobbs, MethLab Mix, Bleep Mix - everything the man touches ooozes quality. My recent listens: Convextion - Convextion (2008) - 9/10 - what an album, feels like what Monolake is currently doing in a parallel universe Flying Lotus - You're Dead! (2014) - 9/10 - digging this a hella lot, don't mint the hotness/loudness of the mix at all, this is some straight future jazz Teebs - E S T A R A (2014) - 8/10 - definitely a grower, felt way too sedated on initial listens but in the right mind-state (cough cough) it delivers Luke Vibert / BJ Cole - Stop The Panic (2000) - 7/10 - picked this up on CD from the bargain bin & well worth it! Not my favorite vibert but it definitely delivers save for a few clunkers Repeat - Repeats (1995) - 6/10 - plaid + mark broom release I was completely unaware of until recently; haven't been feeling it yet but it has the potential to be a grower kinda like the +One album. Trainer-era plaid still owns however John Coltrane - Sun Ship (1965) - 9/10 - Awesome, I think this might've been some of the last stuff he & elvin jones did together. Amazing how "free" leaning it is yet totally held down by McCoy & that legendary rhythm section
  7. Oops I listened to it... and it's straight 4. Just b/c a track has rhythmically complex or highly syncopated elements to it doesn't necessarily mean it's hard to find/keep the 1.
  8. jesus christ donervan you're putting their kids through college seriously, hitchell & modell are like the time/life books series of dub techno
  9. The first time I encountered this technique, still love how there's nothing complex to it, just a simple little mindfuck to start you on your way! Also a big fan of the intro on this classic, must've listened to it a thousand times and can still never get where the one of the verse lead is gonna drop after the double-time drum/bass: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGXE7AF_sK4 Edit: try punching in at right around 0:30, suddenly makes perfect sense!
  10. Nah man it's a fine line both of them (boomkat & echospace) tread. I don't particularly agree with some of their (modell & echospace) marketing tactics - including but not limited to, overpriced "ultra-limited" editions, ratings pumping on Discogs, rehashing old material (srsly, anyone notice that silent world OST is just a half baked liumin disc 3?) - but the quailty is there to forgive these transgressions, at least for the time being QFT. It's not about the destination, it's about tha journey. I've been into beats and circuit bending for the better part of 15 years now and am only discovering the illness of MBM now, go figure!
  11. To be fair to ol' Wolfie 4/4 is pretty ingrained in the DNA of techno. Sure you could build a choon in 3 or 6 (or an odd meter if you're feeling particularly IDM) on a palette of similar sounds & textures, but it's lack of technos will be immediately apparent and you won't be able to dance to it (unless you're into waltzing).
  12. Yeah higher ed institutions are shitty like that. Almost as bad as trying to pry back the security deposit from a landlord when it's time to move out, jesus christ. After cheating death for the past couple of years, my late model Honda accord finally met its demise today. Brought er in for an inspection sticker (fingers crossed) only to find out that the repairs needed to bring everything up to snuff are essentially more than the car's worth. The one silver lining is that my current sticker is good to the end of September, which allows a little bit of time to figure on a plan for a new set of Dob wheels. In the meantime I be rolling on some dead ride steez pumping Autechre out my stock speakers like a motherfucker.
  13. Yeah the first couple albums are some lush N'awlins funk, kinda went to shit after that though.
  14. *brofist* TBH I didn't know her until 5 minutes ago, she definitely has the same not-attractive/not-unattactive thing going on as Nikki, like some grain-fed clone of portia de rossi or something. Then again there's dis/dat: (NSFWish)
  15. Anything than improves the quantity and quality of ass in my life is to be smiled upon That said mikki minaj scares the fuck out of me all lookin like a real life bratz doll 'n shit
  16. What country/jurisdiction did you commit the infraction in? I believe in a lot of places it's possible for an offender (particularly if you were a juvie at the time) to get shit like that expunged from your record provided you've been clean since. Could also be like delet described where only those with access to high priced lawyers can take advantage of such schemes.
  17. If it performs logical operations based on discrete signal processing then it's computing, just sayin. Like how cars these days all have computers in them. But can they run coolwave pro? Maybe, I dunno, all I'm getting at is how badass it'd be if Tom made an album on a turing machine
  18. Oh god yes. Even the couple times I've stepped down in dosage were rough - we're talking like 2 pills a day to 1.5 here. Even though I'm on a really low dose regimen now I have to be super vigilant in not forgetting to take it before bed, otherwise hello nightmares.
  19. ^ Don't have it but heard it (via leak, which I then promptly deleted). Quite boring TBH. A lot of noodling with stems of R.I.P, no structure or grooves really. Contents are definitely nowhere in the range of $80
  20. I'm juggling 2 kids (one 3 mos, other 2.5 yrs old), buying/selling house + moving and the infinitude of bs that goes with, and I'm only 1 day in to hella busy week at work. FML Oh and I've needed to upgrade my death-cheating cell phone for a couple of months now, finally get a semi-free evening to get to the store and the dude can't do shit for me b/c I'm not the "primary account holder" or whatever the fuck it is that's in my wife's name. Gonna have to have her sign my permission slip, put on my big boy pants and find another free evening, maybe 6-8 weeks from now if I'm lucky. Thanks obamacare Most importantly, I just bought Colundi Sequence 5 from AP's bandcamp and the fucking ginormous flacs are taking forever to download so I'll probably have to leave my laptop on overnight
  21. Yeah yeah, the Orb isn't the Orb without Alex Pat, that's fair enough, although that doesn't mean he's any less of a twat that he appears to be. This is buried at the bottom of the rant so you can be forgiven if you missed it: I'd be stark raving mad too if someone so brazenly raped the body of my creative work. Like I posted earlier even if only 1/2 of this is true it seals Alex Pat as a grade AAA fucknut.
  22. I take it you've never had someone claim that your work is their's, never mind profit from it? Step in the man's shoes, even if only half of what he asserts is true then he's got legitimate beef fo sure. I don't necessarily agree with the airing of grievances in this manner (except, perhaps during Festivus season), however after reading this I am compelled to reassess certain long-held opinions on le Orb.
