Sticking to the original topic and not just trying to list my favourite artists, I'd have to say there's only two: Jikkenteki, but his output was short & very very to my taste. Gus Till. Everything he was involved with was an utter delight for me. Slinky Wizard, Bus, Zen Lemonade are all tremendous and then the releases under his own name, Dub Shadows, Electric Oceans, Catalpa and more all in different styles, all brilliant. Gus has to win it for me, not just for the amount of lovable material but the variety too

Almost everything on this 3CD is very good at least. Asura vs Aes Dana - Elie is fantastic. I heard it on the dancefloor a few weeks before this was released and I knew I had to have it. On the first 2 CDs the only track that doesn't do it for me is the E-rection remix but I was never a fan of the original. The ambient CD is good but I've not had it hit me yet. I think I'll dig it out and have another listen as I could see the quality but these types of tunes usually need time for me. All in all an excellent compilation, well worth buying.

The only selected tracks I listen to us when the rest of the album sucks. In that case I used to try and put them in an appropriate mix but without the time these days into a playlist will do. Album. Album. Album. Random track. Album. Album.

Whenever I see a typo, my instinct is to look at the keyboard and see how far away the types letter and the letter they should've typed are. Our dear Radi was always on the other side of the keyboard but he spoke two languages better than I spoke two languages so he's forgiven. My mother though is a different story. Edit: I've also started forgiving mobile users as well as now I hardly ever use a PC I've noticed some shocking typos in my posts

Haha, I'd like to see if they respond.

Sure but I don't want to sit next to a copulating couple on the train. I believe I would move away from them.

I have a £5000 cable and it just makes the ladies so horny. Chicks dig high end audio, especially cables! Best 5 grand ever spent.

I think people have different views of where you should draw the line. I think we can agree hand holding is fine but public sex isn't. At which point does it go from okay to not okay?

This is very rare in Japan and over the years I have also grown to hate it. Luckily girls hate it as much as anyone so there's no pressure to do anything. Hand holding is where it ends.

What's the point of the climax if there's no build up? I only skip through samples in order to check the style of an unknown artist.

Most people don't know or don't care about abbreviations' punctuation anymore. It's supposed to be that you only put a full stop if the last letter of the abbreviation is not the last letter of the word, like Thu. However people don't care so thecrule gets lost, with this one even in academic circles.

Oh god, if we go in to people's English mistakes I'll never stop typing. For non-native speakers it's perfectly fine to make mistakes but honestly most of the stupid shit I hear or see on the internet is from native speakers. The one that has been pissing me off most recently is the number of people who can't pronounce pronunciation.

Went to Azuma mountain park a few towns over today. It is, in my opinion, the nicest park in this region (Tokyo and surrounding prefectures). It's green for a start (not all Japanese parks are) it's up a hill with a beautiful view of the town, the seaside and Mt. Fuji on a clear day. The best thing about it though is the climb to it which puts a lot of people off and so even in holiday week it was not so crowded. Brilliant.

I was listening to this with my daughter while my wife took a bath, she was loving it dancing away then trying to get as close to the speaker as possible. When my wife came up she wanted to change the music to something more her taste (crap) but when we changed it over my 9 month old baby girl protested very strongly so we turned it back to IFO, all smiles and grooving.

I'm pretty much the same. It's irrational but also makes sense in my head. The feeling of seeing that your file has downloaded doesn't compare with seeing your CDs in the post which again doesn't really compare to finding that CD you want in a record shop. I've downloaded a few things: Ishq & Plank were only available as download and dataobscura has better quality downloads as all their stuff is CD-R anyway and the download is much cheaper.

How's Dakini Mother Tongue? All the new LSD releases are next on my wish list.

I do buy Flac sometimes but if it's the same price as the CD of which I am an avid collector, I'm not going to just get the Flac, especially when I can download the Flac instantly with the CD purchase anyway Your set ups sounds futuristic. I guess this means I am just old.

I went through a period where I felt ID burnt out all my emotions. Thought I'd never be angry or delighted again but after this period they came back much stronger than before. 10 years ago I'd never have gotten angry with people using umbrellas, 6 years ago it wouldn't even have registered, no it leaves me fuming On the upside, other emotions were also heightened. I feel much more joy than I ever used to feel

This is it ↑☝ Most of us with collections of CDs started collected when there was no digital downloads. Once it's become a collection, it's hard to change. Can I ask if you have a digital collection of downloaded files on your PC, phone or DAP? What do you think of those that say you collect files and using a streaming service is the way to go?

What do you think of these? I've not bought much from virtual recently but liked the Ishq & Plank collaborations.

Bought Pleidians IFO triple CD set, Doof - Let's Turn On double CD and Analog Dreams. :)

Pleidians - IFO

But you seem to buy so much. I thought you must be flushed with cash. One reason I still buy CDs is because of the price of a lot of downloads. Buying the Flac is the same price as the CD a lot of the time, the only saving is shipping. That's not right. But with more and more people going digital only why charge less when it's the preferred medium?

This is a kicker isn't it? Five years ago I could buy hundreds of CDs a year. Now I was really debating if I should buy the IFO rerelease or not. 16Euros for 3CDs of Pleiadians and I was debating it. Oh how I have fallen. I ended up buying it and the Doof rerelease and Analog Dreams but the fact that I had to think twice was a worry. and now not having that money for food is a bit of a pain but one I can live with

The selfie craze is a weird one. I can understand taking a picture of yourself and a friend but people just go overboard. It's not the selfies that annoy me but the constant posting of them on social media. Look at me with my cat, look at me at the station, look at me....stop it now! But what infuriates me most is how some people seem to think that selfie = photograph. I saw a list of "selfies" most of which were taken by another person. I heard someone say "that guy's taking a selfie of his friend" and they were not both in the shot. God I could fill this thread by myself. I have a little more tolerance for the parasols as they have legitimate purpose. When it's cloudy, not raining and you're holding your clear plastic umbrella up, it's pointless. You'll get people on the trains here who won't sit in an empty seat because someone's taking up the next seat. When the other person gets off they rush into the empty seat....then someone sits next to them that just got on. So they end up sitting next to a stranger anyway, why bother with waiting in the first place?
