You should be able to get something for around £100. I wouldn't recommend anything beringher or edirol, tapco stuffs usually ok (mackies, cheapo brand) The m-audio stuff sounds ok, but it wont last, Mine blew up after about years worth of use. If you can stretch to it Native Instruments Audio...

I like the idea of a futuristic theme park as backdrop, sounds a bit like that 70's movie Westworld.

The los angeles underbelly may as well be science fiction too me, Just ordered this, it sounds right up my street.

I haven't read any Vonnegut in ages, I'll have to give him another look, On a side note, can you recommend any Octavia E. Butler? seems like she had a fairly unique take on the genre, been meaning to read some for a while now.

I've been enjoying stuff like a 'a drowned world' by JG Ballard and 'Children of men' by P. D. James recently, Can anyone recommend any writers who've dabbled in sci-fi?

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/feb/02/fanzine-simon-reynolds-blog Woofah gets a mention on Guardian website in Reynolds post about fanzines, I may be wrong but I think he's doing a regular blog for the guardian online. (fingers crossed)

€ 138.99 on discogs for a copy of anti war dub, at those prices I think I need to have a clear out...

To be fair though, this can describe most things on planet mu: ''......mere post-rave pastiche''

I'm heading there this weekend, I've scoured the other berlin threads knocking around and have a loose plan of what i'm going to get up to during me stay, but can anyone recommend anywhere to eat? I read somewhere east-Berlin has a big Turkish community? I'm very partial to Turkish/middle...

loefah sort of created his own space, he added so much physicality to the the low-end in his tunes by burying it in its own acoustic space, the percussion always seemed to be given the same amount of attention as every other element, so it never seemed just functional, how the sparse elements...

their seems to be a slew of striped down well engineered and very functional, halfstep tunes at the moment, dnb producers like chase and status and kryptic minds etc. seem to take a more by numbers approach to building beats which leaves me cold. Loefah to be fair reduced his palette down too...

I have issues with unconventional time signatures, I think its the 'difficult' mueso pretensions of math rock or anything knowingly 'progressive' I don't doubt its hugely interesting to the musically competent, but is often sonically rather dull to the untrained ear. Weirdly i don't have a...

S-Sandwell District T-Tartan films R.I.P

Very good point, puts me in mind of a conversation I had with a long serving and respected reggae music journalist a few years back, he referred to it as the 'the island records effect' he thought the label basically created a myth for marketing purposes that all good JA music was recorded...

Just started using this to archive radio programs, listen again etc. its a pretty usefull app you can set it to record at specific times every week. thumbs up.

I know you can use toast to convert flac to wav for all mac users out there Regarding the mp3 compression thing, you can really notice it with certain types of music, we did a load of podcasts a while back and we noticed, that drum and bass really suffered, when compressed, something to do with...

320's do sound a bit quiet on a rig in my experience, so its something to bear in mind when moving between vinyl and mp3's, they are a compromise, but if its a choice between not playing an mp3 because the tunes a stupidlyrare/unrealeased/or you dont have a spare 30 quid to cut a track to dub...

cheers for the suggestions, found some amusing Psychobilly and then went of at a horror-core tangent after re-discovering Big L's east coast rap classic 'the devils son' and geto boys 'my mind playing tricks on me' anymore 90's macabre rap suggestions? ps. just found a video of bushwick bill...

the graf zombie is part of dds i think, a fairly prolific crew in london, I dont think their the same person.

When it comes to the sound designy stuff I still think trent moeller is really good even if some of his music is a bit wallpapery at times. Theres alot of depth there.
