  1. Past hour
  2. I'll have to go back on the IFO choice here. I've been listening to the 3CD version recently and it's absolutely stunning. Some music just needs us to be in the right frame of mind to appreciate it, and so there are many albums I initially disliked but came back to later and loved. I think in the era of streaming, this is much less likely to happen. When I'd bought something and had the physical disk sitting there, I'd usually give something a lot more chances.

    Ishq - Orchid

    Listened to this in the first time in years (somehow it never made its way on to my DAP) and it was one of the first CDs I pulled out to try with my new CD player (they really do still make these things, audiophile cassette players too 😲) Honestly, it's got a lot more beats than I remember. I think over the years I've listened to a lot of drone ambient and what I think of as beatless has become actually beatless. Why do we call light beats, beatless anyway?
  4. Today
  5. On the doorstep of sleep What an amazing phrase. I'm going to steal that and use it. I know exactly what you mean and I often use ambient to influence those hallucinations. I was also just listening to Ishq - Orchid (I have the 2CD version on Dakini records) and it is brilliant for this purpose. I had a headache and needed some natural chill to help me relax and it worked beautifully with wonderful imagery.
  6. Yesterday
  7. I really love this compilation, I like the high energy and the rolling bass for most of the tracks. My favorite tracks are: I Wish, Hide & Seek and The Bitts.
  8. Bought a Fiio DM13 CD player. Basically a modern Discman, powerful enough to drive my headphones at least. Been wanting this to help me rediscover my CD collection rather than letting it sit there and rot.
  9. I have not managed to disconnect totally from the internet but over the last few years I have made a big effort to put my fucking phone down. I found as it slowly became able to do everything, I was using it for everything: calls, messaging, obviously, music, movies, internet, reading, photography, games, everything! The problem is though, that while phones can do everything, they don't do these things well. We have basically sacrificed quality for convenience. So over the last few years I have tried to remove my phone from everyday things. I still use it for calls, messaging and photos but I replaced it with multiple devices for the other things. Music - got a Sony Walkman - will never go back to listening to music on my phone Movies - bought a larger tablet - will never go back to watching movies and the smallest possible screen Games - I got one of those Gameboy looking things that can play all the old retro games. 1000s of games available in them and so many awesome ones. Reading - this one took a while but I finally last year got an ebook reader the same size as a phone from viwoods. Having something that I can keep in my pocket has been a game changer. In idle moments I don't just go for my phone now, I take this out and read a little bit. It's made a huge difference to my reading and I am now reading around a book a week. The problem with getting the quality back though, is that need for more quality. I have been sucked in to the audiophile community and I am seriously thinking of getting a new pair of headphones go maximise my in house movie and music enjoyment, the only issue is they cost $3500 I likely won't by them, but the fact that I am considering buying them when I already have a $1000 pair of headphones and and $1600 pair of IEMs is worrying. If I buy them, my wife can never know.
  10. My dad gave me a list of his favourite books so I have decided to make my way through it. First I read was Louise Penny - Still Life Loved it, cozy murder mystery set in Canada. Nothing exceptional but it flowed really well and kept me turning the pages. Donna Tartt - The Secret History It was on my to read list anyway so I gave it a shot, disappointed. It was just rich posh kids being everything you hate about rich posh kids. I can see why people like it but it was slow, nothing really interesting happened and I didn't like any of the characters.
  11. Spiderman - Brand New Day I like ehow Marvel manages to blend action, comedy and an emotional hook very well in most of their movies. Might not be a classic but I enjoyed it very much.
  12. Recently went home to visit family and I got the very common question "What music are you into these days?" Just the same music I've been into for 30 years. Goa is classic and just never seems to get old.
  13. Not received it yet, but I have ordered this - a remake of one of the most fantastic mixes I have every heard. Only on the CD version does it come with an extra dub mix that I can't wait for (but will have to wait another month or more) I have not bought a CD in a long time, not even listened to one as I always listen on my Walkman, so in preparation for this I bought a new CD I can directly plug my headphones into, kind of like the Discman from the distant past, but awesome.
  14. That's amazing. Thank you
  15. The last CD I received before I exclusively started listening to music from a DAP or my phone. I am trying to reconnect with my collection, I have so much that isn't ripped (including this) that I haven't listened to in a long time
  16. Last week

  18. Wow, just wow. Too much amazing music, I missed some great ones. But Psyko Disko and Spies, Process (dancefloor and chill out) was highlights for me. Mystica and Yahel. Dino vs. Dado, omg they played Voodoo People - Altitude and of course Dino played Thomas P. Heckmann - Tanzmaschine. Masa doing the Gonzo Groove. Dara Lee banging my head with Miranda - Gnocchi at 5:30 in the morning. Doof dropping Prana - Message For Eastedge (Doof Remix) in the afternoon to Dark El Kante playing Mandalavandalz - Angelik Fartikalz. And Ukiro spinning Psychonauts at the pre party.

  20. https://phonaut.wordpress.com/2012/06/21/where-is-tetsu-inoue/ "Glad the mystery is solved! His old music partner Uwe Schmidt (Atom TM) managed to contact Inoue’s cousin through a third party and send Inoue a letter, which he responded to. He’s alive in Japan, and had made his own decision to leave the music-making behind." (Anonymous said this on January 14, 2026)
