Hi Kevin, Not sure if that was to the list too but I've also tried Live 6 on a eee pc 1000 with 1GB memory and an HD.

(313) New Music
OK, I can't bear to see the list descend into the usual nonsense about formats so can we talk about music? Some new stuff that's lighting my fire right now. Culoe de Song - The Bright Forest - Innervisions Wicked little debut. Two tracks (three on digital) all of high quality but it's the title track that kills it for me. Along the lines of the epic NY house sound (Sydenham/Chandler etc) but with just a little more UR to it. Proper awesome sound. It's hard to get an idea of what this sounds like from clips so check his RA podcast (with a preview of his upcoming Reggie Dokes remix on Boddhi Satva's label). This kid's still a teenager as far as I can tell - amazing. BLM - Believe in Love - Fear of Flying OK, rocking a 90s Detroit house style but this is done so nicely it's hard to resist. Arguably you could say this another UR inspired cut. I hanker for more house gear from the Submerge camp... Trackleton - While My Sequencer Gently Weeps - Yore Solid pulsating techno sounding a little like Osborne on a good day. OK, I'm not great shakes as a record reviewer but I love this :) Nebraska - Satellite Variations - Rush Hour More Nebraska awesomeness from Alistair Gibbs. These are older cuts that, given the style, should sound dated. They don't though, well worth picking up. There's also the Terrestrial Variations EP out too that I haven't picked up yet. Kode 9 - Black Sun - Hyperdub Like the 'broken' scene occasionally served up some proper techno so the dubstep scene does the same. Both tracks on this ep worth checking. Martyn - All I Have is Memories - Apple Pips OK, I'm well late but I like the airy summery vibe to this. In a slow mid-90s DnB way. 'Suburbia' on the flip is more on the dubstep vibe. Martyn also does house, check his mix of Ican's 'Caminos Del Ninos'. robin...

About the only thing that gets a discussion going around here is a format argument. No-one wants to talk music anymore. Back to your original topic Michael. I've noticed a few things popping up recently with a hint at mysticism. Notably Kyle Hall's output. I always like to hear something deeper lyric wise in a track. There's another angle too when considering Terrence Parker's approach (less mystic, more religious). Sometimes he's subtle and others he'll scratch read your bible over his mix. Always in the most entertaining way possible though so he gets away with it, and even makes his point well. robin...

Re: (313) Today is very special!
ps. what do people make of the new KDJ LP? Can't be bothered. And I can't be bothered with a £6 EP that isn't available digitally let alone anything more expensive. I've totally changed my shopping habits now. If a song isn't compelling on its own merits I don't buy it and if a release isn't cheaper than all the songs I want off of it then I don't buy the whole thing. Simple as that. It feels like I've liberated myself from the ransom of the physical medium. Which is not to say that I don't want to have the stuff on some of those records - just that I can't justify the spend when there is loads of individual tracks that I know I want and I can't even afford to buy all of them. I'm mostly buying this way too. The 12 has to be at least a couple of nice tracks if I'm to buy vinyl these days. I'm probs 1/3 vinyl to 2/3 digital right now. pps. new shti on Sistrum and Balance Alliance is around at the moment too (is this list open to music discussion or is it now dead and replaced by blogs?)

Re: (313) Duplex mix
I know what you mean to an extent but this thinking leads to dull mixes too. For me a good mix is good track selection *and* good presentational skills on one. There's very few tracks that are so rinsed they don't work for me anymore (Jaguar is one for instance). Tracklistings are really important to let people know what's about and help publicise it. If you run a small label it's a nice way to get the word out. However, watch your back if you provide them on the same site as the mix. The RIAA/BPI are watching and don't have a favourable view on this. robin... On 2 Mar 2009, at 23:50, Frank Glazer wrote: there's two ways of looking at this. for one thing, i guess what i meant to say was that i probably would have been able to appreciate a mix like this (with a lot of tracks i've heard, or at least a bunch of tracks that have gotten a lot of exposure that maybe i haven't heard but have heard of) without a track listing. the track listing is the key. sometimes i like them. sometimes i find that a tracklisting hinders the listening experience. i mean, when i was getting into electronic dance music, the primary way i was exposed to it was through dj mixes. and 99% of the mixes i heard didn't have tracklistings. sure, it's a double edged sword, because a lot of the music i loved back in the day i still don't have any idea the names of. but on the other hand, it's an interesting phenomenological mode of music to be with the sound separated from the object/other. that is, having no tracklisting is a sort of purer form of entertainment. the other point, and to answer your question more directly, robin, is that pretty much from day one my MO has been to try to make mixes with only fresh, relatively unheard of tracks. as a rule i never (ever) repeat a track from one recorded (studio) dj mix to another. i generally don't like listening to dj mixes full of stuff i've already heard (except, of course, if a mix grows on me and i find that the mix as a whole bears repeated listens). it's fine to pepper a classic in here and there, but i just am not impressed at all by mixes that are ripped right from the charts. it just seems slightly irrelevant and uninspired.

Re: (313) The MP3 VS Uncompressed Audio test.
I'm all for fighting the good fight for sound quality, though. I kind of wonder about the idea that you can hear differences in a big club that you can't on headphones or home speakers. Honestly, I can't hear anything particularly well at 130 decibels, and by the time your sound reaches the loudspeakers it's been through digital-analog-digital conversion, EQ, compression, crossovers and limiters. Several issues to consider. Most PAs are either rubbish, overdriven or poorly setup. Most turntables in clubs are poorly setup with old needles. Most DJs have no handle on levels and overdrive the mixer. For digital DJs the levels thing also applies to some extent but also the equipment used for sound production varies wildly from nice things like MOTUs right down to on-board laptop sound (and worse). Another shades of grey issue, it's certainly not black and white. robin...
(313) Digital Theft was Re: (313) Morgan Geist interview
Changed the subject line. That is a reason why the RIAA and MPAA are using scare tactic lawsuits. But they're late, and it amounts to punishing essentially innocent people for their own lateness. It's just a total mess, but I imagine that digital theft will be increasingly policed, and increasingly more ably policed, and the idea of digital theft will be a much more broadly understood crime by the mainstream in the not-too-distant future. It's inevitable. When this gets properly nailed down then you can wave good-bye to dj mixes online too. BPI etc consider these to be just as bad as a straight ripped file. robin...

Re: (313) OT: earbud recommendations?
I've had the Sonys, cx300s and Shure E2C in the past and I have to say the CX400s I now have are probably better than all these. The E2cs are nice (sound and build) but the way in which the cables go over the ears is a little fiddly. robin... The Shure E4c-N earphones arrived in the mail. Though they are good earphones, they don't really hold a candle to the Shure SE100s. The Shure E4c-N has much more noticeable bass, but the mids and highs aren't as crisp and clear as the SE100s. Feeling disappointed and thwarted, I decided to return the E4C-Ns and buy the SE100s once again. This time, I experimented with the different earpads for the SE100 and found the right one for my ear. The increase in bass and overall richness was immediate. The bass now is very clear and I'm very surprised that these earphones are able to produce some of the really low bass in certain dubstep or techno tracks. So my final assessment is that the Sennheiser CX300s and the Shure E4C-N are pretty similar in quality, though the CX300s were a little less expensive. Either of them would be a very good replacement for the Sony MDR-EX71SL earphones. However, the SE100s win the prize for clarity and richness!!! It is really worth paying the extra money for such a marked improvement in the sound quality!! Making the effort to try the different earpads will pay off when you find the ones that fit your ears in just the right way.

It's one thing to wear a band t-shirt, but a fake tour t-shirt for a tour that happened before you were born?!? (Yes, it especially pisses me off since I actually saw Zeppelin in 1977 and bought that very shirt.) I just want to go up to all these kids and cuff 'em one upside the head. Buy tour t-shirts from your own generation's bands, dagnabit. --- On an unrelated-but-(313) note, Kent mentioned RePHLeX and I see that Grant Wilson-Claridge posted something on the UR Facebook tribute page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/UNDERGROUND-RESISTANCE/15822493325 What're the Z-Tracks he mentions? - Greg the old curmudgeon To view the terms under which this email is distributed, please go to http://disclaimer.leedsmet.ac.uk/email.htm

Reports back were generally good though- I was a bit sceptical if it would work in a Club enviroment as the snippets I had heard were dark and beatless but they went on around 12-ish so it was more like a gig and then the DJ's came on and took it up a level afterwards. Music was dark and mechanical- loads of slightly tortured atmospherics and ticking hi hats - no real beats to speak of for the 1st half hour which made it even more powerful when they did kick in according to most people I spoke to Certainly a bit more successfull than the infamous Club 69 gig :) cheers Jason. 2008/6/23 David Beattie [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I had my ticket and was ready to go, however was suffering a chest infection and that prevented me from making it.

Re: (313) New Kenny Larkin 12 out now!
We are one - we are all part of the one energy field of the something something mind of the one consciousness, call it whatever you want, but we are all one? Funnily enough I agree with concept that we are all one energy field/ spirituality, and I'm not alone in thinking that either. (If you're curious maybe read some Alan Watts, I like the way he describes these things). Not keen on hearing it put like that in that track though. Oh well, I think the track 'Bassmode' is nice enough though. robin...

From: Synch newsletter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 03 May 2008 00:03 Subject: Synch in the city SYNCH JUNE 13.14.15 Technopolis Athens Benaki Museum Synch’s 5th edition is expanded into 6 different venues in the center of Athens, from Technopolis and Benaki Museum to K44, Bios, Motel and Yoga Bala, For three days and nights the Greek capital’s center will be transformed into a big cultural event full of music, digital arts and technology. Synch is showcasing artists with different musical backgrounds, who contribute to today’s music evolution. From the urban poets of the English North, Happy Mondays, the man -Juan Atkins- who invented the term “techno” and the “noisy” Chris Cossey, to the sophisticated pop collective of Stereοlab, electro-pop diva Roisin Murphy, politically-minded Yo La Tengo and the electronic alliance of Kieran Hedben (Four Tet) and legendary drummer Steve Reid, who has collaborated with Miles Davis, Fela Kuti, James Brown. Synch also presents the new musical trends through the lens of Canadian Holy X, dubstep’ s (Kode 9, Pinch, Peverelist, Headhunter), and dance’s representatives (Juan Atkins, Andrew Weatherall, Luomo, The Field, Jamal Moss, DJ Pierre, Moritz Von Oswald), highlighting at the same time the work of electronic sound experimentalists like Vladislav Delay, Angel, Soisong and Staubgold Records’ roster. This year’s line up includes some of the most intriguing Greek acts like My Wet Calvin, Monika, Rodes, Your Hand In Mine, Parallel Worlds and many more. Synch extends its exploration beyond music’s frontiers into the fields of Moving Image and New Media, while for the first time in Europe, the festival will present the sound software for one laptop per child, the first 100$ laptop that can provide every child in Africa (and not alone) access to knowledge and modern forms of education and creativity.
