today the world changed - a little.

hell.o

today became a little more interesting.

firstly, after years of me harping on about age of chance i actually managed to track down 2 mint copies of the debut 12" ep, the twilight world of sonic disco.

one yellow vinyl, one red vinyl. both with perfect inserts (a rarity indeed!)

i have had the ep tracks on cd-r for quite a while, but as i only came to the age of chance groove with their beneath the pavements ep i had never got around to sourcing the older stuff.

and wow are those tracks fantastic. a reissue campaign must happen at some point, as the bands upfront, in-yer-face indie noise with chants and beats sounds as fresh in 2006 as it did back them.

of course i am somewhat biassed, so i'l stop frothing now.

but, this was not all. today, the 6th of april 2006, became the day that the powers that run and control ilm, a well known music based message board, decided to stop the use of the yousendit.com utility for the spreading of music, old, new, or unreleased.

while i never really got into that whole p2p world, i have to admit the odd mp3 via ysi became a rather pleasant treat, and subsequently opened my ears to a lot of new music that i would eventually track down, or, knowing it was not for me, avoid. however, the abuse had become extreme, and so i understand the boards approach, but it does make you wonder, if a small hidden away corner of the web is beginning to feel the pressure of possible legal action, who will be next ?

so, with that in mind, here's an exclusive mp3. miss kubeliks remix of 'help me somebody', originally made by brian eno and david byrnes. the musical components have been released online to allow folks remix/alter as they feel.

so, please set your downloads to stun, for a rather more laid back version of the original, retitled, 'help me symphony' : here

in other news : posted a review for the superb ambi-techno album by grinning ape, 'the greatest ape'. out now on svc records.

that's all for now folks.
