  • From a comment on a pirate forum (of all places): seems that ‘Sempire Deo’ and ‘Time for the Braves’ are versions of old songs ‘Don’t U’ and ‘The Champions’ respectively. ‘Not This Time’ and ‘Freedom’ were on the 2022 ‘The Live Experience’. So only ‘The Fallen King’, ‘Will You Call My Name’ and ‘Not You Again’ are fully new songs.






  • You know that people choose what to listen to, based on stuff that they’re vaguely interested in? Make it up that your music is rap, and I won’t ever play your music except by mistake.

    And before you label me as ‘set in my ways’, it’s evident right in this community more than anywhere else that I listen to more outlandish stuff than the majority of people. But I don’t give a shit about rap and never will.



  • I really need to find some decent backup solution for the lot of it.

    After my share of run-ins with dead drives and disappearing YouTube videos, I just switched to keeping my ‘collection’ in my notes, with links to a service that works at the moment. And since I’m into outliner notes with some extra features, it’s all categorized with a hierarchy and tags, and annotated if I have any useful info. The notes are synced between desktop machines and the phone, and I’ll probably cook up some extra backups too.

    This approach lived through three different operating systems, without me needing to migrate any big file collections for it.


  • Eh, the thread is basically for anyone interested, like I’m gonna refresh my collection with your list: I’ve listened to some of those fifteen years ago or so, and forgot about them when my hard drives kicked the bucket. Also, I’ve sometimes received replies from the author of such a thread weeks if not months later.

    I’ve been a fan of Laswell since mid-2000s, it took me about five years to go through most of his discography, and I still missed some of it. Some poor soul uploaded over two hundred of his releases on Bandcamp starting in 2016, which of course was a cause of huge joy for me, since I love Bandcamp too. Anyway, Laswell was shoving dub-ambient into basically any of his work starting around mid-late nineties. It’s also funny to see how he influenced some of the big flock of people with whom he collaborated: e.g. Eraldo Bernocchi had his own ambient project, released around four records, then did the Equations of Eternity project with Laswell and Mick Harris (of Napalm Death and Scorn), and since then all his ambienty projects sounded like Laswell’s approach and library of effects.






  • Yeah, he properly started his solo career right after the Hype Williams project ended. Except he and Inga Copeland handed Hype Williams to some nobodies who made music that never felt remotely the same — and moreover, true to their cryptic attitude, little of the old Hype Williams is present on online services. About all of which I’m quite bitter. At least they don’t shut down pirate uploads.

    ‘100’ actually feels the closest to Hype Williams from Blunt’s oeuvre.
