Previously reasonably active user since since V2, who tried to keep upto date with all rule changes/updates when they occur, but got fed-up with new users badly voting against older more experienced ones, hence now retired. Still maintain collection though!

MY STUFF

My collection in storage:

(click each photo for FULL-SIZE version).

My (temporary) setup:

^Photo taken December 2006^
(with the Jap re-ish of Ronnie Ross's-"Cleopatra's Needle" LP on the decks, my Norman Cook New Year's Day 2007 Brighton beach concert tickets, Nujabes sampling here the classic Yusef Lateef-"Love Theme From Spartacus" awaiting a playing, Kuni's terrific CD on standby, and a show on Pete & Dud --the geniuses they were-- on the telly) ...yummy-yummy.

My future project:
Sometime in late 2009/beginning of 2010, I'm *very seriously* considering starting a resource for the Gilles Peterson (BBC Radio 1) AND Patrick Forge (Kiss 100 London) radio shows. I have a stack of tapes/DVD's with these shows on which I record every week, that I would really love to digitize to share with others via the power of the internet. It will have both audio recordings & full tracklistings, which will get linked to Discogs database of releases, post-Master Release, in some way.

If you can help or know someone that can, call the A-team (...or email me if they are otherwise engaged). Anyone with past radio shows, or especially those who are technology minded, PLEASE get in touch. Hosting is probably gonna be the biggest issue, so any advice very greatfully received :-)

Why, you may ask? Could it be because of the A-side track, ETERNAL SUN - "6/8 DRUMS" ('Yoru-Pean Drumz Remix' by PATHLESS; aka Stefan Leisering &... See full review
	posted a review of Deadbeats - Funky For You. over 18 years ago I personally found this tune after picking-up the "Rae & Christian - Blazing The Crop" DJ mix CD many a year ago now.

	posted a review of Koop - Waltz For Koop. over 18 years ago This LP may have turned into a 'coffee table classic', much in the same vein that Sade's "Diamond Life" did in the mid-eighties, but this shouldn't be taken as an excuse for instant turn-off by listeners. The main aim of Koop on this album is to... See full review

	posted a review of Jean-Luc Ponty - Storytelling. over 19 years ago Rare as hell.

	posted a review of Bobby Hughes Combination - Kerma Elastica (Nicola Conte Version). over 19 years ago To say Nicola Conte kills it on his version on this release is probably a timid representation of praise for the king of 1960's bossa reinventionism.

	posted a review of Stan Tracey, Donald Houston - Under Milk Wood. over 19 years ago Welsh poet Dylan Thomas' masterpiece formed Tracey's inspiration for this revisit of his classic original recording of Milkwood from 1966 --itself regarded as a masterpiece in it's own right. This 1976 version contains narration over the music.
	posted a review of Tunng - A Tale From Black / Pool Beneath The Pond. over 19 years ago Tunng (pronounced 'tongue'), bring reminiscences of Wickerman & old English pagan times out in their music.

	posted a review of Blue States / John Murphy (2) - Season Song / Taxi (Ave Maria). over 19 years ago The original mix, starring a motley choir of East-London & Essex school children singing their hearts out with Tahita 'Ty' Bulmer's cool, clear soprano soaring on top, the effect is immense. Quite a good LP sampler for the film "28 Days Later".
	posted a review of Chieko Kinbara Featuring Liliana Chachian - A Espera (The Remixes). over 19 years ago The heaviest mix to date from Osunlade. Bass heavy four/four action. While Tokyo's Bayaka take Chieko's string arrangement into a pulsating 13 minute workout.
