Voodoof - Thru?

That's a lot of Gangguru...compared to the roughly three tracks officially released as Gangguru until now.

Hm... Maybe?

Complimentary acid?

Sigh... *unzips wallet* (Well technically...um...it's past midnight so I won't start arguing. )

I would actually be mildly surprised if a 3D tour turned out to be very flat.

Fixing my headphones. The pads are attached with goddamn flimsy plastic pegs, which have broken several times for various reasons. Two-part epoxy works for a while, but the pegs are so small that some random knock will eventually break them again. Now I drilled metal pins through them. Seems to work. It took a while to get this done. Definitely an improvement over constant fear of something falling off. Makes listening to ambient more relaxing...

I bought stuff from Ultimae. It's been a while. There was the glitchcore period which wasn't exactly my cup of tea. Then there was the period of not releasing much at all. (In 2015 only 1 album, 1 comp, 1 EP, some re-releases?) Then I was just too busy myself to browse all the stores. Now there seems to be a lot of dub techno, but it's pretty good dub techno so no major complaints there. There's also good stuff on the distro side. For a bitter twist, when I was placing the order on the last day of their winter sale, I read that their office had been burgled. I guess all burglaries are pretty low, but somehow it feels even lower to burgle an independent ambient label. Boo. Well, I added some extra items to my order and they still delivered promptly. Now I have incense sticks and postcards and bookmarks and whatnot, just like in the good old days. Oh, and discs too, some new and some a bit older but missed until now: James Murray - Eyes to the Height Focal - Polarity Mizoo - Greenosophy Chapter II Martin Nonstatic ‎- Ligand James Murray - Floods Returned Oophoi & Tau Ceti - Penumbra Recollected 4 Robert Rich - Temple of the Invisible Robert Rich - Calling down the Sky Maybe a bit basic choices because I had to make a quick pick, but I think I'll go back for more whenever I've managed to check these properly and find some time to listen to 1000+ samples...

Tales of the Inexpressible is up now, this time "only" double vinyl. Also the batch is 1400 copies, compared to AYS's 500+400 or something. £54 + shipping. https://shponglemusic.bandcamp.com/album/tales-of-the-inexpressible-remastered

It's always in movies. (And there's still some true underground music but I'm not allowed to talk about it. )

It sounds like AP.

Hi Looks like I was away for a while too. Now I'm trying to make up something fast to finish this before the year changes (in this time zone) so that my end-of-year post count won't be zero. Well, yeah, it was an interesting year, quite hectic too. Last winter I had just finished my house move to another city. Thereafter I've been trying to settle in. There was also loads of events and travelling. I went to ZNA after a long break from festivals. A lot happened before/during/after that trip. As soon as I got back home, ready to share my stories, I was kind of thrown in to new preparations, which resulted in landing in Bali. I spent most of November there. It was a memorable but also partially taxing trip. Didn't do much trance stuff there, although I did listen to Virtuart's "L'Arôme de la Solitude (Batur Mix)" while trekking around the rim of Mt. Batur. Heh. I was also watching Mt. Agung from there when it was on red alert, while not exactly erupting. That happened a few days later. By sheer luck I got back home as most of the flights were cancelled. Now I've been just catching up with things here, wrapping up the work year, getting some rest and so on. I'd like to post here more, but so many times things just got crazy and my combined inbox (not this forum's, to clarify) was basically exploding. Clearing the queue has taken ages. I have so much unlistened music too. Right, it's midnight. Cheers and happy new year!

You had covers? Luxury! We had to browse thrice-xeroxed mail order catalogues, text only, 6 pt font. Then you made a lucky guess based on whether the name sounded promising and started waiting for a couple of weeks while the postman was wrestling bears and wolves! Anyway...I managed to collect my copy too, just in time for the holidays. Buying this one was a real no-brainer. Globular has repeatedly found his way to my downtempo sets, and often uptempo too. I just checked and indeed, "The Continuum Process" was the opening track of my "best of 2010" mix. Now it's the opening track of this box set. Heh. I got the files earlier, but I haven't really listened to them, either due to work schedules or maybe to keep some excitement for this moment. Now I have various indoor activities planned for this weekend and I think I know what's on the playlist...

There's now a second batch on clear vinyl, 400 copies. I bought that one, for reasons. Sorry for not supporting scalpers this time. https://shponglemusic.bandcamp.com/album/are-you-shpongled-remastered

Has anyone received the discs? Or even a shipping notification? Or any information whatsoever since the Oct27 update which said "You will be notified via email once your Vinyl is shipped"? I'd really need this information due to current circumstances, but it's been quiet on all fronts...
