    cant believe the Alien:Earth thing is happening as well. It's basically gonna be the walking dead but with Ayleens instead of Walkers.  And here's the cast:

    Strong female lead

    Goofy joker guy who ends up being heroic

    Science guy who develops a thing

    Sleezy myserious guy who ends up being a Weyland Yutani mole

    Cool looking warrior lady who you think might be lesbian interest to strong female lead but turns out to be an "artificial person"

    Couple of young kids who grow up as the series goes on, one of them dies

    Lance Henrikson

  3. The venue they use now is nice, I went to the AllPoints festival a few years back and saw Jon Hopkins, Chemical Brothers, DMX Krew and Roisin Murphy.  Top day out actually, loads of sambuca and good food.   it will be a fun day, but I cannot go this year.  

    We found a pub just around the corner from the park to have a cheeky few pints in beforehand and meet up, also did half decent food.

  4. New album dropped on Friday

    Ridiculous noise head 6xCS+7" format..,.. (based upon the 7 days of creation so stylistically there is a reason).... or digital that I opted for... ?

     

    Upon initial flick through listen it does sound like the true successor to the excellent Rainbow Mirror album from 2017.

    Keen to play this through next, the DOOM ELECTRONICS tag has me salivating at what could be in store given how much influence I took from Rainbow Mirror 

     

     

  5. New EP

     

    Quote

    "something reused or altered but still bearing visible traces of its earlier form"

    Dartmoor is a palimpsest landscape; bearing the marks of generations of people who have worked the fields, quarries and mines to harness it's riches. It can be a harsh, lonely place. The weather can change within moments, plunging you into deep fog or exposing you to scorching sun and winds. Even the most prepared and hardened of folk are caught out.

    These tracks were created over the past 6 months, using field recordings taken from across Dartmoor and the surrounding area. Fused with homemade instruments, ramshackle pedals, unpredictable patches and a sprinkling of dismalism.

    1. Clapper Bridge (or "River")
    2. Longhouses (or "Rock")
    3.The Maiden Sea (or "Sea")
    4. Bearacleave (or "Wood")
    5. Grimspound (or "Moor")

    I wanted to honour my new home of Dartmoor and I found this incredibly challenging to achieve - it is an overwhelming landscape full of history, biodiversity and human impact. Part of me feels I should live here for twenty years before attempting to capture it's magick with sounds. But the other part of me wanted to share the start of my journey with you.

    After false starts, complete rewrites and whisky, I feel like I have something I can share.

    3" CDr release coming soon for anybody who wants a copy.

    Anyone remember ladyscraper?

    I remember

     

    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.

  7. Just been reading about Hitpiece, seems they are selling artists music as NFTs without permission. Great business model!

    The fallout on their Instagram page is quite hilariously savage. Hope this shit gets pulled down mega quick

  8. 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.

  9. 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...

    Well, it was presented as a four part thing where each instalment works individually on its own so I don't think it was ever meant to be listened to in full.

    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.
