    80's House & Techno

    Big list. The Man Machine guy Ed Stratton is one of the main people at the massive sample library distro Time & Space isn't he? I reckon that must be a better business from a financial standpoint than selling actual music, at least for the last 8-10 years or so. Pretty much guaranteed sales for...

    Various Artists - 'Le Tour du Monde, Volume 7' (2xLP, France - 1973)

    Thanks, looks like a top comp of pop picks, a cornucopia of cool cuts, a symposium of sick sides, a nourishing nailing together of nifty numbers. :) This guy was on the case, whoever he is/was. Actually I have to say this seems a bit like a cheeky prank but I wouldn't want to spoil the fun and...

    Capitalism, Marxism and Related Matters

    Maybe I do. :p What I mean is that discussions about the er, 'ontological hegemony' in a forum situation often fall prey to sticky assumptions and arguments about definition, not to mention prejudice, bias and agendas, if that's not the same thing. In other words, the very same issues of...

    Or 300 FLACs ? I'm all for pushing this as a meme, but is it really true? In favour of what?

    'Layered films'

    Saw this a couple of years ago when it was doing the rounds. Might fit your bill. Argument (1978) by Anthony McCall and Andrew Tyndall http://www.lux.org.uk/touring/argument.htm Three male voices dissect one edition of The New York Times through a series of locked-off shots, revealing the...

    Pointless But It Does My Head In

    You mean like a lie / stress detection thing? For some reason I hadn't imagined that that sort of thing was in widespread usage.

    Your preferred digital DJ system and why

    There's this free open source software called Mixxx that has recently added support for Serato and Traktor vinyl. It's supposed to be quite good but I haven't used it so couldn't vouch for it's reliability. http://www.mixxx.org/...

    Capitalism, Marxism and Related Matters

    In a way I agree with you - the primary focus on capitalism as crux is something I've questioned previously. I guess that approach is inevitably what comes from those parties doing the questioning being mostly immersed in Marxist theory, Situationism, critical theory and so on - i.e. responses...

    Solo Piano Pieces

    There's this really beautiful Popol Vuh piece called Spirit Of Peace that can be found on the end of the original 1992 reissue of In Den Garten Pharoas. It's just piano. I don't think it's the same as the album called Spirit Of Peace but I'm not sure.

    Capitalism, Marxism and Related Matters

    That was a good post and I thank you for it. I was thinking also that Mark's statement was getting at something else that is particular about Capitalism. That at some very fundamental level in our understanding of economies, of the world even, an error has crept in, a fallacy, a false...

    Postmodernity and christianity

    I don't think this even deserves a polite reply really but just for now... I said the thread was going off topic, not that I was having 'trouble'. And it had got into talking about empiricism and rationalism, not 'what religion is'. And no-one has claimed that 'religion is better at accepting...

    Postmodernity and christianity

    Yeah - I'm not really criticising 'rationalism' on those grounds, more that it is hard to say exactly what is 'rational'. This comes down to issues of defining self-interest doesn't it? If the whole system fails, or fails to include the 'human' then it is not really in anyone's interest. So...

    Postmodernity and christianity

    The point is that any definition of what is rational depends on establishing and declaring a set of values, aims, beliefs, assumptions etc. Is rationality limited to self-interest? How does self-interest work? What exactly is my self-interest? How does it relate to and interact with the...
