I spent 89 schmackeroonies on Harry Bertoia's 11CD boxset Somnambient on Important Records for my 28th birthday on 17th March. Or rather, my Mum did, but I have an IMPREC account. The Eleh ewas tempting too. More Wire reading will ensue. I might even dl app.
The Bertoia is amazing – from the bits I've heard anyway. We're still waiting for it actually to be released. Grumble

David Bowie - Blackstar (ISO / RCA)

...but we'll see Bluesmiley
I quite like the new Ritchie Hawtin stuff. He's stepped away from minimal and added more energy to the tracks.

It's not amazing or anything, but it's still pretty good techno

I might check that stuff out then. I own quite some early Hawtin on Plus8 and Probe but lost interest when he went (too) minimal Smile

Started reading Nadler s 'Strangers LP' interview and it's good...I like the way she describes herself as a big loner, as I'm like that too.
The latest Boreal Network release is great additionally.
