All good records from memory of electron simulation. Titling from Germanic as "Coffee Matthews" is raher novel. Like metadata itself in italicised posts on internet message boards.

Me? I'm grindin' some good grooves from a multi player Horizons Music Test Press from 2015.

"Lynx Is Playing At My House" is the other TP vinyl I have. Wish it had Fabio's signing "Disco Dodo" on it.
That tune is off the hook. Oxford booked Lynx at least 3 imes fro HQ raves, he always turned up.
Parties were popping, without shit Es. Granted you'd get the odd retard who'd try and sell you beans. We just avoided them nd took in the smell of club weed. Good old days fun. I still don't smoke even, but passive inhalation is okay with me. I could never get into smoking joints. Normally because weird people.

Avoiding people such as them. So yeah, in other words I like recreation in a pure sense, but not contamination. I have a whole 600 page book to draw from on Jamaican culture, Lloyd Bradley's Bass *, but it tells us all we need to know about cancelling out shady people, snaky people.

When one is a heavyweight schizophrenic, the powers of paranoid secretions know little restraint.

Smash plate over head.

Seems The Conduit has been dropped, at least for the time being. That's understandable as it was mainly used to document live events.

They've got singing on them.
"They've got singing on them" - singing, really Statto, wow, you'd class that as singing? Lol

The original is better, IMO.

The original version of "However Wildly We Dream" is found on 15MOF Pt. 67 by Muttley at www.kapsil.net/muttley. Although, maybe not - not all of the 2012-2014 additions are up there. Once my systems passed the Windows 10 infrastructure stage, there was no going back to the old FireFTP software. It was just something that happened, and could not be rolled back. Of course, all the listener and user of the archive needs to know is there is nothing wrong with the network connectivity and download speeds - it has been tested over a million times in almost fifteen years.
I'm struggling with #440.
Over fifty things listened to so far and none have even made it on to the long list BLAicon24
Statto - dear friend, pick just one.
A sub recommend from me

Alice Coltrane + Pharaoh Sanders

now I can't decide between the Laura Cannell and Clipping records Baffled
The newest Wire I have is the Sunnn O and The Bug issue. I'm still working through that. Reading that late at night will shut me up and help me go to sleep at the same time, naturally. 

There have been some bubbling under experiments I've liked recently: "Cantus, Descant" by Sarah Davachi is one of them. Sarah Davachi's music I discovered by re-subscribing to Wire over 3 months back. Her album at the time was very minimalist and tape loop oriented, a cross between BJ Nilsen and Grouper. 

Spacing out to space out. I enjoy the ultramundanity of it all. As long as the lights are on and the music is low down, the fun can continue. 

I can always hear better at lower volumes, anyway.
in the end I went with the Clipping, but this is still excellent...
