yeah, wMw it's 2 peeps, and one is Dave T. The first LP sold approx 2750 on mas i recall, you shouldn't worry about who crunch are it's not the point of it all, it was a different reason why crunch didn't give names first time round ...
your tunes are mad !? i liked checking them out but was listening to them through my laptop speakers ?? downloaded one to check out in the studio ...
Obviously crunch signing to my label wasn't exactly difficult under the circumstances i have know one of them my entire life and the other one for about 19 years now !! sometimes things just happen i guess : )

You're right, I guess I was interested in talking to you but couldn't think of anything more interesting to ask than the true identies of crunch. But at least knowing them (for sure), it's easier to search for more music by the same creators as the *exceptional* C1. If you're in charge of releasing the music as either 12 inches or cd's, you have MY vote at least to release this stuff as cd's instead....
*wow, you think my tunes are "mad"* That makes me glow introvertedly. My current computer setup is really low quality so laptop speakers go along nicely with that theme, heh heh... I probably wouldn't hesitate much to sign to your label if you wanted but I won't get that far ahead of myself, and you can openly reject my music with absolutely no hard feelings:). Thanks so much for bothering listening to it. Perhaps I could send you a cd with some of my stuff on it. A lot of the tracks on that mp3.com page aren't exactly exceptional, more just for fun, but a few I think are pretty wicked (like "a fractal brewing of fraggles") despite the limitation of the free software. Later.

send the cd to the address on the colony www and i'll sit down build up and listen to the lot . . .
we don't have any plans to release any other music than the stuff we have already planned from crunch (col01.12" / col02.LP / col03.Vid ) and then psi-spy (col04.LP) . . .
i am always looking for stuff though, have you checked out the colony show on groovetech.com i just play what i want and i normally want to play pretty fukked up stuff, i love it !!!!! ACID rules . . . i play alot of the demos i get sent and plug em so it's worth it even if i don't ever manage to release them. I wish the funds were there to do more but theyre not yet : (
did you ever check out gearhound on matador ? or that skam cassette that went around about a year ago if not a bit longer ? or noodles foundation ? bit_meddler 7" / homewerk - luke vibert on planet µ ? i remember you saying you liked obscure stuff but really this lot aren't so obscure but real tough stuff : ) that's the kind of stuff i play on GT and listen to for relaxation.
what other stuff do you like or recommend wMw ?

yeah wayout, heh heh. I guess I have a special place in my heart for crunch... sort of like baron von picklefoot has a special place in his for cheese I bet.
Great! I plan to send you a "demo" whenever I have one ready anyway... :)
Of all the stuff u mentioned, I've only heard of bit meddler (loved the only track I heard) and luke vibert (as wagon christ which I don't remember liking much) Great new suggestions, thanks!
My favorite music I know of/have heard you probably already know:
autechre (lp5,ep7,chichlisuite,trirep,peel2) crunch(1)
otto von schirach (8000 bc, escalo frio is not quite as good)
aphex twin (rdjalbum,com2dady,windolckr) richard devine (lipswitch) download (eyes of stanley pain)
I'll think of less popular ones later.

Your chat bot figured out how to open the portal to the logged off zone and was terrorizing me while I was logged off. This was enough motivation to figure out how to make it work again. So now I'm logged on and files actually download again (getting crunch laurel now, muah hah ha haaa) but I'm afraid to leave since chat bot is probably waiting for me.

So you get funds from the albums you sell I suppose. Well crunch is wicked like autechre and they're on... your label(!)... Hopefully they're creations will get discovered and people will want to buy them, giving you more funds to release more stuff:) Of course, some people like me are downloading laurel for free off of soulseek right now, (I don't have a 12 player).

I don't know how long it'll take for me to assemble something decent to send from my unorganized debris, maybe a long time. This is cool though since it's forcing me to go back and organize all my stuff. I went to groovetech.com but I guess I need realplayer... So your music is psi-spy?

yeah i did the psi-spy stuff on the colony www - i did a demo album way back under that name but it never came out just 100 copies were made up . . . it wasn't that great really my first stuff.
I do a few things now all with other people involved on various labels and obviously colony but i am doing a new psi-spy album at the moment all solo again.
I like working with people though you bounce off each others ideas if it's the right people : )
to be honest there isn't really much money in it compared to the hours spent it's about the same as any regular shit job but if you love it it's worth it . . .
have you checked out
www.halflife-recordings.com (abstrakt knights)
how long have you been putting tracks together ?

Unfortunately those psi-spy mp3 links won't play for me... it's stuff that was done on actual musical instruments as opposed to computer construction (from what I read)? That and crunch seems like a strange combination of stuff to release together, heh heh.
It's very rare to be able to make any money at all doing what you love. That halflife site is "temporarily unavailable" and was yesterday too. I've probably been making music for about 10 or so years, but probably don't have a large amount of decent stuff to send at all. Colony is an awesome name for a music related thing btw, like music it's a group of units thought of as a whole.

Halflife finally worked, that's site's really cool visually, like that old game where you're a tank and battle other tanks and ufo thingies in a plane with triangles... It played straight line by abstract knights, a cool little loop, something that would play maybe between missions, like during a mission briefing in a war simulation videogame. :)
