I only found out as of last year Ireland had a massive D+B scene of what is excellent. Mainly from the year 2006/2009 Excellent stuff though nothing you could called classic as its all been done before. Still good though. Got a crate of D+B last year, running through some of it

All vinyl 12" obviosly.

Why do people listen on mP3 wap ? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Going a bit minimalist today:

Phillip Glass - Koyaaniqatsi
Steve Reich - Electronic Counterpoint

Fans of The Orb may recognise bits of the latter

Reload - A Collection of Short Stories.

Classic stuff - particularly like the track 1642 Try 621

The video doesn't enhance the music, sadly: should be set in a crippled spaceship with evil aliens robots chasing someone who's desperate to get through a PIN-protected door but can't remember the number.

Sound Factory- Understand This Groove.

Its a bit repetitive after track 3 side 2

Also I do understand the groove as I heard it loads since 1992

Top tune though one for the 'I don't want to hear this tune for another 10 year crate'

Pentangle - Reflection

Seems appropriate

Venom - their early stuff reminded me of a joke that went around when I was a kid:

"What's the difference between Venom and a row of milk bottles?
You can get a tune out of a row of milk bottles"

(being based in Newcastle, they were a 'local' band for us)

However, despite the fact they were unspeakably crap in the early days, listen to any of the early NWOBHM stuff and you can hear their influence.

Plaid - Scintilli

I'm not overly impressed but probably requires a few listens. Looks like I'll be saving the price of a gig ticket!

My other eMusic downloads for listening to in the month ahead:

Biosphere - N-Plants
Bvdub - I Remember (Translations of Mørketid)
Container - Lp
Death In Vegas - Trans-Love Energies
Geomatic - Blue Beam
Ladytron - Gravity The Seducer
Mark McGuire - Get Lost

Chet Baker, in his mellow period

King Tubby - some righteous dub.

Got the music on random play today. Just had a Bach cantata followed by "I love your sexy ways" - Funkadelic.

Peter Gabriel and his amazing ~~Frog Chorus~~ Pointless Orchestra (on the radio and on Jools, I should stress)

'king Hell. Does it have to be this way? If a musician reaches 50 without a car crash, overdose etc intervening, is he destined to become crap? Which is worse - cranking out albums that are just like the last one, just milder? Or "reworking" your Greatest Hits?

And how does
Stripping them down
translate into
Performing in front of a full orchestra?!?

Look, we're bored of the Unplugged thing - please don't try to sell us something even worse.

Don't Give Up was just about OK, but missing 90% of the original magic.
Solsbury Hill - Ok, but not worth the effort.
Just listened to Digging in the Dirt, which was a quietly disturbing, fascinating record - now it's just lift muzak

_{I wonder what that Presley bloke is doing these days ...}

Every piece of music I ever owned if I keep this up - new system set up and sounding rather tasty already - I am busy listening to all my favourites- currently Island by Whitest Boy Alive.

It's going to be hard to motivate myself to get out on the bike tomorrow - I just want to listen to so much stuff currently.
