I very much enjoy your reviews and the pictures & gifs work wonderfully well on my high speed interwebz. Hell they even don't take long to load on my phone. How slow can internet be nowadays?

It had a long hiatus though right? I think Coronation Street might be the longest running TV show (1960-present with no gaps) About Dr. Who though: I love the idea, the concepts and the overall story but it occasionally falls into the trap of many a series where it has boring "filler" episodes. I think I saw up to the 3rd series of the current run. Must watch more soon

The Circular Ruins - Their Subtle Purpose

My jealousy meter is registering strongly

Well, I may be a bit late but I finally watched this movie. Stunned might be the right word. It is nearly 3 hours but I couldn't believe how quickly the time passed. I got so totally immersed in the movie that I just didn't notice how long it was. Great movie, glad I watched it.

Every style is spoiled, or will be eventually anyway. It doesn't mean that there is less good music though. When a style becomes popluar and a load of talentless cretins try to get in on it and release 99% crap, yeah most of the music is shitty but with all these hacks there inevitably come the 1% genius artists and the bigger the style gets the more artists there will be in this top percentile. The good stuff will become more & more however the bad stuff will still swamp it and it can be annoyingly difficult to find the gems.

Robert Davies - Geography Of Memory

So good

Embarassingly, I quite enjoyed that. I can see how shoit it really is and I doubt I'll go out of my way to listen to it again but it was not ear splittingly awful! Is Britney banging on about how she's now dubstep? If not, I don't see this as much of a problem for the scene. It might still have a few years left in it yet

I find a lot of factors can influence my opinions on things. With me though it is usually the other way round, the cover can influence how I see the music. A bright fractal cover often leaves me with a colourful view of the tunes inside whereas a dark space like cover leaves me hearing cool blackness I've never had it the other way round though, probably because I always see the cover first and then listen to the music.

Well Space Tribe was the original king of awful covers. He needs some love in this thread! I like it except for the writing

I must admit to not liking some of the covers posted here but it's all based on people's opinions. I don't expect everyone to love what I love and sometimes I like what I know is a bit crappy

Yeah, Khetzal is awesome. I played Avasari at the start of a recent set and everyone loved it It would be cool to know who the French group he works with is

Cool np

It is totally different to his usual stuff however once you get passed the wtf-this-isn't-Grassow moment it stands up very well. I have listened to it quite a few times and I like it a lot.

Aes Dana - Perimeters Nostalgia - Echoes From The Borderland Matthias Grassow & Tomas Weiss - Electric Angels

Nostalgia - Echoes From The Borderland
