reading this last night mde me go, 'oh yeahhhhh'. so today i spent all day checking out my pay it all back cds, and various others. damn right. loved it all so much more than i expected. i may be biased, but i dont think the productions have aged badly at all. all i'll say, is bring on the...

oops. i should point out that my original 128 statement was in response to the Record Industry in Decline discussion and the points raised about peoples listening habits these days, and not about the quality of files form the download stores. as i agree, the quality of the files of the one...

Next to all newly encoded files are over 200kbit VBR. (Quick browse through some recent [illegal] downloads: 219kbit [VBR], 254kbit [VBR], 214kbit [VBR], 192kbit, 224kbit, 231kbit [VBR].) fair enuff. as you can probably tell, i dont really get into all that side of things. personal choice and...

it was all bout Dennis Hopper surely. the man in the Willy Wonka suite, and scary hair. one of the weirdest moments ever on tv.

I don't even think of labels run from someone's house as "the music industry". oh, i think you can go up a few levels from the cottage industry, and the pain is really beginning to kick in at the moment. known labels you'd think were well established with well known, supposedly good selling...

BTW : the "gloated over" statement wasn't aimed at anyone per se, more a general statement over the whole free music for all via p2p and fuck the people it hurts financially mindset that has become de facto ..

sample based music is still ouit there, but the costs to get samples cleared make it impossible for most stuff to get clearance. see the whole Go! Team debut album issue. took them months of hard work and restructuring the album to get it cleared for the US market. no idea if the bands new album...

only ever really bought one thing via mp3 route. that was the freelance hellraiser/paul maccartney collab as i didn't wanto to break the seal on the vinyl i had, and there was never a cd copy pressed up (despite the ebay bootlegs - there was never an official cd release). so, other than - nah...

wonderful thread. Sensoria (has to be the 12" version of course) was one of those records that totally kicked me out of my indie based comfort zone - and has been in my top 5 records ever since. top 5. even 20 years later i would still say that opening 30 seconds sends genuine shivers down my...

well this guy certainly seems to be making a good living out of the genre : http://www.reactorleak.com/ or is juno reactor not goa ? i get confused with all these boundaries .. m.e/ireallylovemusic

as an old'un from up north, i never went to that club, despite loving MMMs Global Chillage/FAX stuff back in the day, but can i just say - what fucking dreadful flyers ! m.e

ha. fair enough. i care not. tis a riot of noisy fun. m.e

so - no-one else tempted to pick up the new NME with cd mix by Simian Mobile Disco that puts together a bunch of these new rave type bands (klaxons/shitdisco/gossip/datarock)? aside all the easy target syndrome that can be applied - tis actually a cracking 60 minutes. certainly a lot more...

weirdly, only this week i have instigated an action to distribute skinny promos of cds i have the full proper version of (lovely major record label mailouts !) to my work mates. they are loving it .. though when i start scraping the barrel and bring in crates of single track promos - i...

naturally - the whole thing has been posted on youtube :
