..did you get any CD's from Rare yet? i'm quite curious if it really works out well, i'm sure it will, they're reliable imo |
||||||||

not yet but i only transferred the money to them yesterday (so hopefully they'll receive it on their bankaccount today... if they would send out the cd's this afternoon i should get them tomorrow :-)). But i'm thinking i'll probably receive them sometime next week... it's hard to be patient :-p They seem reliable to me aswell, but seeing as the site is not fully operational just yet, things are taking a bit longer (we have to arrange everything thru mail). I'll use this thread to keep you updated :-) |

woohoo! they arrived today! I was so excited when i saw a little package waiting for me when i got home! Things like this are even better when you've been waiting for them for a long time! autechre - tri repetae autechre - garbage autechre - anvil vapre autechre - LP5 (in the black cover! yeah! :-)) aphex twin - on plaid - rest proof clockwork I don't think i've ever bought so many cd's one day. Hm... well i did actually, but never before so many cd's that i'd actually been searching for for a long time! So far i've only listened to the first 3 tracks of tri repetae... so i have an interesting night ahead of me :-D (dael went by a little unnoticed this first time... i already new Clipper... but Leterel really managed to catch me by surprise! It starts of very cold and hard and mechanical... but six minutes later it's all beautiful and emotional... lovely :-)) Thank you x 1000 for telling me about Rare Records morton! :-) |

haha your welcome, have fun with them, i'm sure you will :) good thing you got the black cover with that LP5! i really love that release!! garbage also very much, you should really take time for the first song.. it sort of gets started after a couple of minutes (4 - 5) .. i love that one! ..man i know how you felt waiting for those CDs, i won GAK CD at ebay.. it should arrive this weekend if everything goes well.. again good luck with them, glad you're happy :D |

This on-ep is really nice! It reminds me very much of SAW85-92... it's been ages since i last listened to SAW85-92. I had forgotten how beautiful the oldstyle Aphex Twin sounded :-) Only thing i don't like is the natural sounds (oceans, thunderstorms, talking people) during "on"... the song doesn't need such effects imo). Yeah i must admit the black LP5-cover looks awesome! Much cooler than i would have expected from the picture i saw... tis very stylish! The huge sticker on the front (with all the credits) is almost completely detached from the cd though... the glue must have dried out or something. I'm tempted to rip it off entirely :-o I fear if i leave it on it will get torn or folded... besides i think it will look even cooler completely black ;-) (yes... i have an interesting relationship with stickers, hehe... this is the first time i've ever felt the desire to peel one off). Maybe i'll listen to Garbage next... i doubt i will fully understand it on the frst listen already though... That plaid-cd is looking tempting aswell ;-) ah... choices choices! |

did you sleep at all this night.. or only listened those CDs.. did you lik'em? |

i fell asleep during Restproof Clockwork ;-) Even though i was planning to stay up and listen to all of them. But this morning i listened to Rest Proof Clockwork again in full, and i really liked it!!! What an amazing band!! When i've gotten to know that album a little better, i will devote a new thread to it :-) Tri Repetae - real nice... but very different from what i expected after only having heard Clipper. That's actually one of the loudest tracks... the album has more of an ambient-feeling than i expected. But it's good :-) In fact it's awesome! I really like how it sounds like some sort of cold robotical music-machine... at first you think the music doesn't have any soul... and alot of the elements (like rhythms and beats and sounds) don't change throughout the song... it's almost like a computerprogram making music on it's own. BUT then suddenly at some point in the song... all the elements suddenly fall into place, and there's this gorgeous and breathtaking moment that really blows you away! (happened to me alot while listening to Tri Repetae)... and then you realise that it's not just coincidence... but the work of two musical geniusses :-) |

Garbage - beautiful! I think this will be the music i listen to in my sleep for the next couple of weeks :-) It reminded me of SAW II a little... actually i can't wait to listen to it again :-D And you were right about that first song! It starts off a little boring, but after a couple of minutes it gets started in a big way :-) LP5 (still haven't peeled it off, hehe) - i think this is going to be my favourite AE out of everything i bought yesterday. When i listened to it yesterday... i had the feeling that i wasn't able to understand it yet... a bit like listening to druqks for the first time. Hm... overwhelming is the right word i think. But i already heard lots of things that i really liked! More than the others, i feel as if this album is going to grow on me. I haven't listened to Anvil Vapre yet :-o I came to the computer to write a little mail to Rare Records to let them know they arrived :-) And then i'm off to listen to Anvil Vapre. (but i wound up on this mb again ;-) Now i've been sitting here for an hour already, lol). |

hm Tri Repetae is the only release i still didn't 'get into' i think, i rarely play it.. have hardly given it a try i think... i should take time for it i think, i will -> but you must promise to take time for garbage esp. the first track (others are good as well) just play it from the beginning to the end for 14 minutes.. and LP5? listened to it yet? i remember when i got it (you probably remember it also.. the '1000x YESSSSS' thread :) ) i played acroyear2 a few times really really loud, man it rocked! and still... |

"i should take time for it i think, i will -> but you must promise to take time for garbage esp. the first track" deal! :-p |

"i played acroyear2 a few times really really loud, man it rocked! and still... " that's the first track right? Yeah that one sounded really good! Very powerful :-) When i'm not listening to it around midnight and people are trying to sleep... i'll crank up the volume for it too! :-p "ow damn didn't see the second part before i posted :D" yeah sorry, i feared the entire post would be too long and i'd get cut off by the mb again ;-) So i made two posts out of it. |

hehe... yeah waiting for something like that can be rather frustrating ;-) But think of it like this: the longer you've waited for it... the better it feels when your package eventually does arrive! :-D |

i'll use this thread :) did you see seinfeld yesterday?! they started all over again with episode 1, 'good news bad news' ! :\ i was really waiting for 'the calzone' to come, then those idiots decided to broadcast the first episode.. well it was quite funny though :) funny too that kramer is called kessler in that episode only, and that the first sentence the episode starts with ('bout georges buttons) is also the last sentence of the last episode :) still i'm quite scared they will suddenly stop broadcasting seinfeld for some reason.. when summerholidays start or something.. |

remember this? (Enter George; he's extremely excited - he's dancing around the room, singing the Zorba theme) GEORGE: I'm outta there. I did it! It's over. JERRY: You did it? What happened? GEORGE: I told her. In the kitchen - which was risky 'cause it's near all the knives. I started with the word "Listen." JERRY: Ah ha. GEORGE: I said, "Listen Marlene," and then the next thing I know, I'm in the middle of it. And there's this voice inside of me going: "You're doing it! You're doing it!" And then she started to cry, and I weakened a bit. I almost relented, but the voice, Jerry. The voice said "Keep going, keep going. You're almost out!" It's like I was making a prison break, you know. And I'm heading for the wall, and I trip and I twist my ankle, and they throw the light on you, you know. So, somehow I get though the crying and I keep running. Then the cursing started. She's firing at me from the guard tower: "Son of a bang! Son of a boom!" I get to the top of the wall - the front door. I opened it up, I'm one foot away, I took one last look around the penitentiary, and I jumped! JERRY: See, it's never as bad as you imagine. ___________________________________ still a shame they started with the first season again... |

"did you see seinfeld yesterday?!" Yeah, i saw that... what the hell is going on there at V8?! We were just about to get to the really good episodes (season 7, 8, 9 are by far my favourites)... and now they start all over again?! It's insane! "well it was quite funny though :)" Well... it was charming to see the very first episode... but it's definitely not one of the best :-p My favourite joke was when Kramer tore an article out of a magazine, and jerry looks at him angrily... Kramer: Are you done with this? Jerry: NO! And then licks it and 'glues' it back in the magazine, hehe ;-) "funny too that kramer is called kessler in that episode only," I thought it was much more notable that Jerry's father was a different actor altogether :-p "still i'm quite scared they will suddenly stop broadcasting seinfeld for some reason.. " Yeah... me too... V8 is not a very reliable station. It could end at any moment really :-/ Remember the good old days when Net5 broadcasted 2 episodes in a row, every night? And then afterwards you could switch over to BRT1, and they also broadcasted an episode! Mmmm... Well... let's go see which season they'll be showing tonight :-) |

"remember this? " hehe, yeah i do! :-p My problem with the earlier episodes is that they sometimes explain too much. Their subtle humor... maybe they were afraid people wouldn't 'get' it, so i think sometimes it "ligt er een beetje dik bovenop" ;-) (sorry non-dutch readers, i didn't know how to translate that). That scene you quoted was quite funny... but compare it to some of the later george relationship-endings... "Turn your key Maura! Turn your key!" haha ;-) "still a shame they started with the first season again..." Yeah... but i must admit i did have a really good time tonight :-p That was a cool episode with the ponies! And this conversation... oh man, i laughed and i laughed :-p This is just so Kramer! Jerry: So, when do I get my dinner? Kramer: There's no dinner. The bet's off. I'm not gonna do it. Jerry: Yes. I know you're not gonna do it. That's why I bet. Kramer: There's no bet if I'm not doing it. Jerry: That's the bet! That you're not doing it! Kramer: Yeah, well, I could do it. I don't want to do it. Jerry: We didn't bet on if you wanted to. We bet on if it would be done. Kramer: And it could be done. Jerry: Well, of course it could be done! Anything could be done! But it only is done if it's done. Show me the levels! The bet is the levels. Kramer: But I don't want the levels! Really a definining moment for the entire seinfeld-show... litterally a conversation about nothing :-p |

So i had to do some traveling yesterday. And i thought, since that meant i would already be halfway to eindhoven, it might be a good opportunity to finally go to rare-records myself (and bullit too). So i did. I went to a bank first to get money out of the pinautomaat, and i promised myself i wouldn't spend anymore than that :-p Well i kept my promise... but now i can't stop thinking about all those records i had to leave behind, hehe... for beginners piano, caustic window compilation, surfing on sinewaves, the mike&rich album, amber, chichli suite, gescom, mira calix, vatican nitez... this list goed on and on... just to think that i could have owned all those albums. (i would have been bankrupt though ;-) So in the end i feel quite proud of myself for showing so much restraint). What i did buy was: Boc - hi scores (i particularly enjoy tracks 1 and 6... but it's annoying that boc recycle tracks sometimes. It makes it feel more like a compilation than a proper ep. autechre - envane (haven't listened to it yet) chris clark - clarence park (sounds very nice so far!) venetian snares - witboas (love those harsh drill'n'bass sounds! I'd like to hear an album with only that... witboas seems a little too subtle at times. Well not that there's anything wrong with subtle, but i was just expecting it to be more insane :-p. Still i like it alot though. Except "she"... ugh, why on earth did he record that?! It's even worse than tom's love will tear us apart cover. Thank god it doesn't last very long). plaid - not for threes (only listened to this in the train back home. But that was really too noisy to hear much of the music :-/) It was great though. Man, i wish we had stores like that in Alphen :-p |

heh cool you liked it :) sometimes it sucks to have shops like that so nearby though, it's so easy (/too easy) to buy all that stuff, i spend way too much money on cd's imo i always go there thinking; "i'll just have a look and maybe listen something", but most of the times i walk out with one or more cd's still i should be grateful that those shops exist of course :) |

i saw rare records had this glue funk hits cd back in stock, so i want to go get it. I was afraid you'd bought it! it's funny though, 'pinautomaat'. it's a cash dispenser right? funny word. you say cash dispenser, you hear pez dispenser. |

""i'll just have a look and maybe listen something", but most of the times i walk out with one or more cd's" lol I can understand now that i'v been there! And i see what you mean... living so close to such a store would become rather expensive. But still i envy you ;-) "i saw rare records had this glue funk hits cd back in stock" Yes, i saw that one too. But i didn't have anything from VS yet, and i remember OOR calling witboas his best album yet. Lord knows why i put my trust in OOR :-/ But it seemed to me like a good beginning. But when i left the cd was still there, so you can probably still go pick it up. " cash dispenser" ah yes! That's it. Couldn't think of the word. There are probably only dutch people reading this thread though, so it doesn't really matter ;-) |
