Re: Did the rave generation take too many drugs?

I'm going inappropriately full SJW on this. You can't undo billions of years of biology just because some poor little milkenials are confused. That sentence contains ignorance, belittlement, condescension and a typo for added effect (petty, I know). You are erroneously conflating two separate concep...

Re: Netflix tips

There's this new show called Mindhunter about FBI profilers. David Fincher and Joe Penhall (who wrote The Road) are behind it, so I've got high expectations. Anyone watched it yet? Yes, just binged it over a couple of days. I'm biased due to intense interest in the psychology and personality of ser...

Stanislav Tolkachev - Why Are You So Frightened 10" repress

Stanislav Tolkachev's Why Are You So Frightened on Pohjola is finally getting a repress, which quite a few people have been waiting for. In early 2018 (Jan/Feb) there will be a new 10" Pohjola release (POHLTD001.5) with two unreleased Tolkachev tracks (A: Why Are You So Frightened AA: 4th Block) as ...

Which tracks in particular? I'd like to check them out, too. Digital clipping sounds like a terrible aesthetic device, almost as bad as inadvertent analog does.

Re: What are you listening to?

CtSaER3SA14 I'm very intensely looking forward to the Electro-Soma repress and especially the supplemental Electro-Soma II . The original colour vinyl versions of the AI albums disappointingly deteriorated very rapidly, adding noise, crackling and other physical artefacts (especially the silver and...

Re: The last track that Wowed you

I was completely floored when the first Unknown Entity came out, Bad Ju Ju is such an excellent track. From the second release, Raging Horn 's syncopated percussion elements are exquisite. Feart from the third one is not quite up to par with the previous, but the release is nevertheless well above a...

Re: New members say hello...

You mean you have made notes on every record you have into discogs ? No, I don't. If there's immutable, quantitative data like the number of a numbered release, I add the number in a comment. If an artist signs a record, I not the time and place where it was signed. Qualitative comments are not imm...

Re: New members say hello...

may I ask : how do you keep track of all the tracks on your vinyl collection ? Excellent question. A track has myriad of candidate identifying attributes (metadata), the simplest being the name of the track. Many tracks have the same name (some have no name at all), so uniquely identifying a track ...

Re: New members say hello...

Greetings from Helsinki, Finland. I've been accumulating electronic music vinyl and used them to perform publicly as a DJ since the beginning of the 1990s and still actively play whenever I'm given the opportunity. I have intensely idiosyncratic and purposefully cultivated musical preferences, inten...
