Blood and Fire is my most favoritist dub label. I made a lot of money when I sold the lot of first editions on eBay. I wonder how much this vinyl is worth... : D ____________________ www.psychicreform.com ____________________ And if you don't dance you're no friend of mine... --"The Safety Dance"

I also love allegory and self (I have one of thee 666 vinyl copies). I'm big into the Master Musicians of Jajouka as well. I've got this super beautiful version of Brian Jones's original recordings from the 60's. Fucking gorgeous, really, with a velvet case with guilt print in a hand stamped cardboard cover, the booklet is just beautiful with fabulous printing and some translucent overlay pages. Really beautiful. Apocalypse Across the Sky is an amazing recording made by Bill Laswell (looping back to the Material/Praying Mantra connection to the Orb). There is a very uncommon recording called "Jajouka Black Eyes" that is all sort of light and humorous songs played after dinner or after work or at other relaxed times. Really wonderful. I would suggest that everyone go back and listen to Purple Rain by Prince. Why doubt the power of perfection? ____________________ www.psychicreform.com ____________________ And if you don't dance you're no friend of mine... --"The Safety Dance"

This is the funniest thing I've EVER read from the past 5 years of trolling these hallowed halls. Odd thing is I have no idea what it says. some1 decipher pleeeeze.

Tell >me that Orb personages? > >Vex. >I feel fine, who art though. P.S> Also, I'm the only one thats gonna say "leave the lovely Rene Rojas be." She, like me, just has a big mouth and an equally big heart. (i was gonna then say something about some freakishly big labia or something crass; but its beneath me). I am gonna go out on a limb and say Smiley isn't my type of person either, I can just tell our personalities clash, despite never talking to him. I do still value his compelling, albeit a bit arrogant presence on this list thingy. For chrissakes, we're all ambient music fans crabbin' over little sanscript letters. P.S.S. ** That thing about her getting a face full of big round circles was UBER funny tho' darn slaggers.. get back to work

I don't know much about them either, but that is no excuse. Did you even see what he was doing? I am a fan and didn't enjoy the live songs as much either , but its far from wanking into machines. Oddly enough wanking must be what you should stick to watching cuz the "your local four-piece banging out Orb" and Squarepusher have one thing in common.. they play actual musical instruments (something oft forgotten). He is a brash lil toad tho' >The biggest the hit this year ('scuze the pun) is definitely NO2. >I don't know if the phenomena has sprung up elsewhere yet Yeah, it was only invented in 2002 and the government held this complex compound's secrets high in the caverns of Cheyanne Mountain..... that is until you single handedly unearthed it for the world to enjoy.

Hi Y'all, I now feel suitably recovered from The Glade last weekend to finally throw a few comments into the melting pot. Anyone else on the list make it? It was a blinder, a mini-electro-boom-bangin'-Glasto-baby! 8) The weather was just perfect, not too hot in the day and warm nights so you could groove in just ya shirt'n'shorts all night till the sun came up again. The highlights for me were Hallucinogen (again!), Eat Static (again!) and without a doubt System 7 (yet again closing a festival in style) in what must now be Steve's definitive festival slot. I also caught a four piece band I hadn't heard of before called The Egg, hmmmm?!? 'A feast of chill-out,' says the guide! Hmmmm indeed!?! Anyone else heard of them? Don't bother IMHO. Kind like walking into the pub and finding your local four-piece banging out Orb and Underworld covers. I wonder where they got the inspiration for their name? But that was still OK compared to Squarepusher. Anything is OK compared to that guy. I did only catch the end of his set admittedly but he was well off on one. I have never seen anyone wank so furiously over an effects machine (soz guys, I'm not really in the know when it comes to all these fancy cross-fade-modulator-squeeze'n'pinch-boxette-anhilator names). The young chap next to me (showing my age now, I know) called it 'experimental!' Yeah, maybe back in the Sixties if yer name's Syd Barrett but now it's really just pretentious bullshit. The other thing worth mentioning is all the balloons that have suddenly popped up at the festivals in the UK this year. The biggest the hit this year ('scuze the pun) is definitely NO2. I don't know if the phenomena has sprung up elsewhere yet but if you find yourself sitting in a field in the sun toking away with a few thousand other people and you hear the occasional 'pssshhhhtttt' from over there, go and investigate it and thank me for it later. It'll probably be the best quid ever spent and the best minute of your life ;) All in all a fantastic festival that should be a permanent fixture in any trance, dance, electro, techno, ambient fan's year. My recommendations for next year; - More toilets please although I was impressed with their cleanliness over the weekend. Hats off to the crap-crew. - More water taps. - More festival. Ending at 6pm on the Sunday was such a disappointment this year. - More people but I have heard this is being worked on... - More, more, more... Encore!!!

> >>Has anyone heard any remarkable dub lately? A new album on G-Stone by a cat called Rodney Hunter has caught my ear as of late, and it definitely features dubby aesthetics on some of the tracks, it is on Kruder and Dorfmeister's label after all. . .
