Profile: Just a general music lover and vinyl enthusiast. Like many forms of music from 4/4 to guitar etc. Plenty of stuff yet to discover.
Feel free to contact, may or may not be interested but you never know. A lot of the more commercial things on the list are not going to demand high prices from me, suppose that could be applied to a lot of the stuff I'm after, shipping costs bother me but necessary.
Unlikely to sell stuff unless it's good price or something I'm not too fussed about, but try if you want.
A lot of random records in there, used to dj at studenty things, but still part of the wide tapestry of memories.
Find the rating system relatively useful, i use ratings for how much I like things, so that's means that I think they're either good musically or they make me smile with the memories they bring. Tryong to rejudge a lot of them these days.
And the comments over there are from a different time.
Unlikely to do mp3 things, far too much time involved for no reward.

V4 is utter shit, it's really spiralling towards a big bag of septic turd.

Goldie Presents Metalheads - Inner City Life - 08-Apr-09 12:59 AM
Never really felt this tune like a lot of people did. Nice enough record, but it always felt like an Mtv record, I dont really remember hearing it in the raves or on the pirates. Ive often seen it listed in various lits of greatest jungle drum n bass tunes, but could never see how. But then I was never as fussed by Goldie as many were, Terminator being my personal favourite of his back catalogue.

Lil Louis & The World* - I Called U - 18-Jul-05 06:04 AM
Im pretty sure the track that still gets heavily played by many with the horns is in fact the "The Story Continues", many a bootleg have listed it as the conversation, Moton listed it as "Whyd U Fall", but it is B1 that is the tack as far as I can tell from listening to it.

Felix Da Housecat - Watching Cars Go By (Disc 1) - 20-Dec-04 01:30 PM
I really didnt see the point of this remix, Felix version was in my opinion one of the best songs of last year when it came out as "Cyberwhore", it had so much kick and attitude it was great. Sasha seems to have taken all the punkish, raw charm it had and made it sound so bland in comparison, it sounds like a radio friendly edit as opposed to a remix. But I suppose its Sasha so will probably go down well.

Groove Armada - 18-Nov-04 09:21 AM
In my opinion they are responsible for a collection of very mediocre productions. Heaven knows why they are so "big", a couple of ok singles attached to adverts does you well I suppose. But when it comes to seeing them Dj is where it really changes, they go from mediocre to abysmal. Easily amongst the worst Djs i have ever seen, they were so bad at Space this year I had the raging hump for the rest of the day. The level of cheese and mismatched mixes would remind you of some cheesey bar in Romford. And of course a few dusty old hip hop / breaks records from the 70s to cover the eclectic stand. And yet the part timers were loving it, so if anyone tries to tell you theyre any good, go to a middle of the road bar and listen to vocal classics badly mixed to know what one of their sets sound like. A disgrace to house.

Avalanches, The - Since I Left You - 25-Sep-04 10:01 AM
As well as the great title track, one of the B sides "Everyday" is amazing. As good as "Since..." but on a slightly more sombre note, the whole EP helps to prove that sampling, if done properly can be more than just borrowing but creation. Easily the prettiest record of 2001.
