I love the site for everything it contains - but the changes and commercialism of recent years have stopped me bothering to contribute. Digital releases I can handle, but separate digital releases added for each file format, or even bitrate of mp3? A separate entry for every single variation...

Loving the kick to the face at the very end there.

Try not listening to anything at all for a few weeks - I find that after a period of total music starvation I get restless and really feel the need to hear quality stuff again. Especially if during that period I've been exposed to other peoples shit listening habits.

Sounds like old age. The passion of youth is fading! I go through phases of lethargy, where I can't be bothered to check out the latest releases and never get around to actually listening to anything. But then there is always something to suck me back in after a few weeks. The new Thomas Koner...

Those rehydration sachets you can get for diarrhoea. Bananas. Ibuprofen.

I thought sunlight was bad for your skin when it comes to wrinkles. Something to do with the ultraviolet rays destroying your tissue. All of the weatherbeaten fishermen I've seen in my seaside town look like my scotum. Fact.

I do get the feeling he isn't speaking for the rest of the group. I can easily imagine Thom sitting up for hours fiddling with every last nuance of the sound long after cloth-eared Johnny has fucked off to bed.

I can't think of another UK label releasing such a varied, high quality output in electronic music as Planet Mu at the moment. With the emphasis on varied. I think some people here try and read too much into Mike P's intentions. I think this is pretty much bang on.

Easy money ;) It was either ICT or English, but after 9 years of web/graphic design and 3D modelling I felt like I could yammer on all day to kids about various ICT topics, whereas I've forgotten most of my English degree. Plus from what other friends in teaching tell me, there is a demand for...

I'm considering getting into teaching secondary ICT, and this thread has been a great source of hands-on info. It is hard to find brutally honest and detailed opinions like this on teaching elsewhere on the web. I'm going to visit a local school in a few weeks to meet with the head of ICT, see...

Worth looking at Plague Recordings for more on the Deathprod-style of dark ambient. The free netlabel Dark Winter is also worth a gander if you don't want to spend any pennies/steal music.

Jus-Ed has some great great stuff going on at the moment. I first found him on FXHE with this track:

There is so much rubbish... someone must have written blog highlighting the few good finds out there? If not then it needs to happen. I have found some belters in the past, the two Marsen Jules albums on Autoplate are a must-have. I think they have been re-released as paid-for downloads now...

Its worth pointing out for the people who are worried about the compatibility of the FLAC format that a FLAC file can be 'unzipped' to get the original WAV file - since it is lossless compression, unlike mp3, where audio quality is lost in the compression (sorry if that is stating the obvious)...

I had a bit of an eBay session a few years ago - grabbing every classic jungle CD compilation I could whilst Jungle was unloved and unwanted. Picked up all the Breakdown/Sub Base/Street Tuff/Desert Storm/Labello/Congo Natty compilations for next to nothing. Been ripping them all to FLAC ready to...

Best thing for him. It was getting so painful watching him trying to appear in public with that mess of a face and no grip on how a human acts any more.

Anyone else got his new album? Perhaps I'm just a bit simple but this ironic take on ardkore/jungle in the same way as Zomby's 'Where Were U In '92?' is the best thing I've heard since... well, since Zomby. I got completely sick of his plundercore clowning around but all can be forgiven after...

Once pelted some drunken thugs having a fight below our block of flats with paper cups full of water. Not the most threatening of projectiles but it made them put their differences aside in order to scream up at the windows for our blood. Luckily they couldn't work out which window it had come...

Yes, isn't it true that during the great American depression cinema attendance actually went up, or did I dream that? These days its dvds and computer games - people crave entertainment when the going gets depressing. I popped into my local game stores to grab something to play on the xbox this...

Spent the past year working for myself as a graphic designer. Its been ok, not big money but enough to pay the mortgage and feed my unhealthy CD buying habit. Things are getting tight this year as the fear of the credit crunch the media has successfully instilled in people kicks in. Seeing work...
