Yeah I love this noisy bast*rd rave stuff... like you say, there must be loads, but I can't think of any right now. Wrong Music, Complaints Department, early Bangface stuff maybe...

Yeah grabbed the digital of prurient yesterday. Had a quick flick through but it sounds amazing - Rainbow Mirror is my favourite of his and this sounds even darker

I bought a 10" promo copy of Phat Planet without even knowing it was Leftfield - back when you'd walk into a record shop and they would give you a pile of wax to sift through. Belter

Last.fm: "Autecher is a project of one young man from Kishinev (Chişinău)/Moldova, named Mark Autecher by his parents long before the famous British electronic duo Autechre appeared. In his music experiments Mark combines hard drone sampladelic … read more" ...and if you click read more it takes you to the Autechre page. Troll?

Do you Beliaeve...... in life aftre love?

Does listening to Autechre actually make people here cry? Ok. First time I saw this in got me big time.

New EP

Its a skam

Hell yes. Saw a performance at Elektrowerkz in London once, might have been for Bangface or potentially something else. Really savage crowd as well that night.

Just been reading about Hitpiece, seems they are selling artists music as NFTs without permission. Great business model! https://www.nme.com/news/music/artists-slam-website-hitpiece-for-listing-their-songs-as-nfts-for-auction-without-their-knowledge-3151472 The fallout on their Instagram page is quite hilariously savage. Hope this shit gets pulled down mega quick

I enjoyed Midnight Mass. Yeah, there was some filler but generally I thought it covered some interesting ground. The vampire bit was probably the lamest link but it was a good cast and I liked the "are we alive/dead" scenes they set. Don't think I would watch it again, but the hymn they sang near the end actually stuck with me for a while after watching it.

I am happy. First and last post in the Spotify thread.

Picked up the MegaDrive Classics pack for my PS3. £4 from a charity shop. Currently playing Sonic 2 like a bitch

I watched e2 last night, I thought it was fine actually. I'm still gonna keep watching to see where it goes.. I enjoyed watching him taking old mangled cartridges apart and splicing tape.

I have never listened to all 8 hours in one sitting. It is NTS1-4 and I listen to them as either separate releases (on vinyl) or shuffled random playlist via wav. I guess the question should be, were these sessions commissioned for NTS as 2 hour bundles, or were the sessions selected to fill 2 hour slots... Without NTS, it could have been released by Warp as Warp1-8 in 1 hour chunks, 6 months apart, maximising vinyl / CD sales etc.... Or just digitally as an 8 hour impromptu broadcast via Twitch that only 5 people sat and listened to all of it. Then maybe someone recorded a bit of it and it ended up on youtube, but most of it was lost forever... And therefore my point is, the way the music is presented and marketed makes a huge difference to how we (the consumers) perceive it. But it's still full of great casual donks, i'm not disputing that...

I think the fact that it was all released at the same time (well, originally broadcast days apart from physically released at once) means that it is perceived as a self contained release. Film trilogys are released years apart to maximise exposure, spread costs and allow parts to sink in. Perhaps if NTS 1-4 was released with a couple of months between each show (or seasonally - is part 1 Spring?) then I would agree more. The cynical part of me thinks it is one 8 hour+ session that was just cut up into perfect 2 hour chunks in order to fill the allocated NTS broadcast slots.

If they are still available in Feb, I shall stick an order in. I am on a strict no new-music-in-January thing.

I have a Tech Itch live recording from a Renegade Hardware event years ago, severely awesome and probably one of my most played d&b mixes ever. Also, back in 2003, John Peel knew https://soundcloud.com/zipik/technical-itch-peel-session-16

Aye just listening to the bandcamp stream now, this is solid stuff. Interval Signal is a jam!

Great post. I remember the original buzz, and tbh it's awesome that he followed through with it all.

BOOH 1 + 2 were crucial to my upbringing. Rinsed the cassettes to death. I learned all the words and kinda idolised him for a while. Pretty gutted tbh. I know his greatest moments were with Jim Steinman (also RIP) but he had that awesome stage presence and vocal range.... Classic "meat loaf" opera style rocker, different phases... about love, rock and roll, good times, partying, sex, heaven and hell... “It was long ago and it was far away, and it was so much better than it is today.”

I too have messaged bandcamp support a number of times. Simple things like being able to filter your collection by TAG (ffs... why cant you even do that? If I just wanna check out all the #idm or #techno in my collection that should be possible! ) I also suggested folders... could I please just put all my NOISE into one folder, techno elsewhere... cant be too tricky for them to sort out? And yeah it adds every release to your collection, which is fine, but as above it would be lush to have some very basic filtering tools available.

Wordle 213 5/6 ? ? ? ????? Geeeeeezer!

Well yes. He does mention PERIPHERY on his own bandcamp page though, see https://lorn.bandcamp.com/album/the-map

DLEDA, wow, such a beautiful tune.
