Listening to "Progress and Perfection" by Yello, departure from Oh Yeah and the race, almost ambient, very enjoyable

Is that a new album from Yello Bob? I was quite a fan back in the day but sort of lost track of them after 'Baby'.

[rayzray]

i (rayzray) am listening to the beginnings of my LOOOOONG remix i am doing of Kraftwerk's (The Mix) - i am "Dividing" it into a million pieces - weill at least a hundred - on my Sony MXD-D40 and putting all the fast songs together - then the slow funky ones - then maybe collect some of the scraps and make a new song out of them -

this is more fun than manicuring (sp) my toe nails -

[Juan22]

Im listening to Heroes Del Silencio. a spanish rock band from the 80s-90s.

My favourite spanish band. highly recomended even if you cant understand a single word of the language

[rayzray]

i am listening to my latest re-mix of Kraftwerk's 'The Mix" on a Standard MD all broken up into "this's" and "That's" and "Those others" -

IMO - this WHOLE album has ONLY "Two" beats - "This" which is fast and "That" which is slow and funky - and then there are all the intros and ending which i clipped out and stuffed at the end of the mix called "THose Others" - like little useless clips - but together in a chain - they are interesting -

i will take this preliminary MD out to all the coffee shoppes and study it and perhaps want to re-arrange the songs -

the original track list is

1- the robots

2- computer love

3- pocket calculator

4- dentaku

5- autobahn

6- radioactivity

7- trans Europe express

8- abzug

9- metal on metal

10- home computer

11- music non stop

my (rayzray's) track list consists of only THREE tracks -fast - slow- and those others - ((All NON-STOP)) even the fast to slow -

Track 1-

the robots (fast)

computerlove (fast)

pocket calcualtor (fast)

dentaku (fast)

radioactivity (fast)

Home computer (fast )

Track 2 -

Autobahn (slow) ((May have to be shortened - it's long)

trans Europe express (slow)

abzug (slow)

metal on metal (slow)

music non stop (slow) and confusingly interesting -

Track 3-

all the remnants which i called "Those Others" which consists of all the intros and endings of the songs chained into a coherent display of chaos -

fotenote#1 - this was supposed to be only phase one of the project - and i wanted to do some "Loops" (yous know i love looping) - but IMO there is no need for loops as they (Kraftwerk) put in ample amounts of "Loops" themselves - (( or is it only my imagination" and lack of sleep !!

foontone#2 - i am gonna go and kiss the Mirror for this !!

[ceramiccactus]

Pestilence - consuming impulse

Asphyx - the rack

Thanatos - emerging from the netherworlds

Hail Of Bullets - of frost and war

misfits - boxset

DRI - dirty rotten EP

DRI - full speed ahead

Exploited - beat the bastards

Malevolent Creation - fine art of murder

I usually format 80min discs in hi-md mode.

I also always have each disc with a different band labeled on it and stuff the disc with as many albums by the band that I can.

[philippeb]

I am listening to my own live recording of Leonard Cohen's first concert at the Olympia, in Paris. I was 13. The concert was transmitted by the French radio Europe 1 in a show called "Campus spécial", presented by Michel Lancelot. I recorded it on cassette with a microphone placed in front of my receiver, the 12th of May 1970. Leonard sings a rare song in Yiddish or Hebrew: "Un As der Rebbe Singt".

See http://www.leonardcohenlive.com/concerts/s.../1970-05-12.htm

Just found a group while I was listening to Ultravox and Midge Ure, group is called X-Perience, and Midge did a song with them on their latest album, song is Personal Heaven, But I digress, right now I'm listening to Magic Fields, nice stuff

[rayzray]

((oh - i (rayzray) am working on my "Secret" project - yeah - forgot about it - i am taking FIVE songs from Rick Wakeman's Concert in Havana Cuba and taking out ALL the vocal and leaving in ALL the instrumentals - it is AWESOME !!!!

i rearranged the songs and put the drum solo at the end - cause i think it was useless in the concert - unless Rick had to go to the bathroom -

footnote#1 - yes - it's awesome and i am awesome - too bad no one knows it except my mirror !!

footnote#2 as requested by bobt -

Great, I LOVE the prodigy's older stuff, it's the ultimate music to just get pumped up and excited! Glad to hear they're still on the right track, gonna have to listen to this.

I'm currently in love with Amadou & Mariam's "welcome to mali", think traditional mali music + guitar and synths. It's a really happy album.

Right now? Right now I am listening to a Van Morrison comp on MD. My own "Best Of," I guess.

SQ = SP

Disc = HiSpace 80

I/O = Sony MXD-D40 > Optimus SA-155 Int. Amp > Sennheiser eH150

[rayzray]

listening to a copy of Yoga/Mtv - and it is putting me to sleep - this needs a Rayzray remix - like heavy metal music over their audio -

footnote # 67 - when i do remixong - i (rayzray) ALWAYS use MD's inbetween this and that -

Viva MD's and my love for music !!

This is exactly why I'm gonna start hoarding media and move my portable music listening back to the 80 minute MDs, MDLP at most. Yes, you have to record in real time, but the act of getting new music is much easier now than it was before - a few clicks and it's downloaded. My point is that the music experience is getting too easy, and there is too much choice. It may sound crazy, but since I started using MP3 players my appreciation for music has gone way down, to the point where I preferred listening to the sounds of the street rather than my own music. 20 gigs on an ipod and it was a pain in the arse just deciding WHAT to choose to listen to! Too much choice.

Now when I burn an MD, I'm waiting excitedly like a little child for it to finish, and when I finally get to listen it's very rewarding, and I appreciate the music more and get a lot more out of it (MD forces you to listen to the same things more often, too!)

Music is not about how many songs you can fit in your pocket. It's about how much you get out of each song. MDs have soul, and it shows.

PS. I'm listening to Mew now - "and the glass handed kites". It's a little progressive and demands all of your attention. Gotta listen more before judging..
