    Astro Black

    Must admit i was a bit underwhelmed by 'Media Dreams' myself after what i had read about it. That Disco 3000 is much more immediately astounding though, if only for the intrigueing 'techno' flavour of it all. Yes my Impulse copy of Astro Black has a promo only not for resale sticker on it. The...

    Astro Black

    I picked up a vg copy of this in Reckless yesterday for 30 boys after doing some trade. It is a fantastic album and kinda fits into that whole Langquidity area of Ra's output, can't believe it has not be re-issued (correct me if I'm wrong). Also it has the best cover ever !!!!! and great liner...

    Who killed Indie?

    I always thought that 'grunge' (the mainstream stuff) killed of the secret world of indie, also the whole e-thing. Even the Shamen had a shambling indie past. Oasis came on the scene way after it was dead I agree. I'm only just old enough to have enjoyed the dying embers of c-86 but am still...

    removing static from records

    When I worked at Music & Video they had a record cleaning machine in the Soul Basement. I think it cost about 800 squid, you place the platter on the machine that spins it slowly through some cleaning pads, like a carwash for records. Failing this you can't beat the old bog roll and lighter...

    Alien vs Predator

    The aliens are more of a pure predator than the actual Predator characters who in this film exhibit signs of compassion and are also far more technically advanced than the aliens. One discrepancy I did notice was that although the Predator is hosting an alien offspring the other aliens still...

    Alien vs Predator

    Utterly ridiculous and no relation in terms of style and acting to it's predecessors but strangely compelling in its unrelenting rubbishness. We are told that the Aliens where created by the Predator warrior race for sport, so that they could hunt them in their sub-arctic mayan/aztec/egyption...

    This years The Books/Animal Collective/Junior Boys?

    I was in Smallfish Records in Old street the other, desperate to buy a record, y'know, anything interesting. Not a thing on the new release wall to excite even the ghost of techno past. So I ask the guy about something that I saw that looked intrigeing, a little mini cd. "Whats that mate ?"...

    Books on Music

    Just read that book about Dennis Brown by Penny Reel, really good with some amazing photos of old reggae clubs in Hackney and Stoke Newington, The Four Aces etc (anyone else used to go to Club Labyrinth). Reccomend this book.

    that the nagging fears of paranoia, self doubt and inertia do not go away just because you stop smoking weed.

    Mu

    I used a Mu track for a fashion show recently, the fashionistas loved it. Shouty japanese bird over discordant guitar riffs. Maurice Fulton is quite a cool guy, he lives in Sheffield I heard.
