Discussion on Aural Moon updates

[Roger -Dot- Lee(Admin)]

We've been busy, folks. First, we get a whole slew of them earlier this week, and then we get a whole slew again, plus a half a slew on top of that!

Here's what's new:

• Bacamarte - Depois Do Film
• Blezqi Zatsaz - Rise And Fall Of Passional Sanity
• Discipline - Push And Profit
• Ensemble Nimbus - Scapegoat
• Eyestrings - Burdened Hands
• Galadriel - Mindscrapers
• National Health - Complete
• Nirgal Vallis - Y Murio La Tarde
• Parmenter, Matthew - Astray

Enjoy, folks! That's a LOT of REALLY cool stuff we just added....

Roger -Dot- Lee, more and more impressed by the day...

[progdirjim(Admin)]

Did I not upload Matthew Parmenter like I thought I did, or did you forget to mention it? Or is there some other more sinister explanation?

[Rick and Roll]

In my excitement to request, I have found the answer (I hope).

The Parmenter is loaded, but the Eyestrings was not.

Very sinister.............

Uh...they're both up there. I neglected to mention the Parmenter because I was plumb tuckered out. They're both up there...

Roger, who's gonna get some sleep next time.

Sorry, boss, nothing sinister this time. I just misapplied my brain and forgot to post about it. It's installed, and, as I recall, a couple have already played. As for the Eyestrings, I'd loaded it, but evidently the Database Gods(TM) didn't accept my offer of a rubber chicken, so I had to re-do it.

That was done this afternoon.

Anyhoo, that's what happened. Oops. I was tired and sleep deprived (Hey! I'm depraved on accounta I'm deprived!)

Oh, and about that one National Health song that I'd mentioned elsewhere: I think it's a good call to leave it off. It makes no sense and will likely leave people scratching their heads than anything else. Something along the lines of "What was THAT?" springs to mind right off hand...

hmm, I'm not so sure I disapprove of making people think "WTF?"

Yah, well there is a certain amount of pleasure involved in that, and hell I may pop it on the stack just for the WTF factor myself. But eight seconds of BZZZ and WOOBOOWOOBOO is ... well, strange. Hrm. Next time I see some GY!BE, I might pop it on either side of it!

Now THERE'S an idea....

[Rick and Roll]

That's a funny tune! If someone wants to waste their request on that tune. I say go for it! I mean the Who has a 14 second or so tune, and what's the one off of Fragile, like 40 some seconds?

Seems more bother to leave it out.

Here's the liner notes on the tune:

"At last on record, Pip's (Pyle) grudging acknowledgement of the commercial need for a drum solo. Go down a storm in the States".

That's a lot of work for an 8 second song. Look, I even remembered the name of the tune without peeking!

Bring it back! Just don't attach it to GYBE!

Well, now, I didn't expect it to have such an overwhelming following!

And since it's so popular, I might convert it into a station ID! That way it'll get all KINDS of play!

Roger "But seriously, folks" -Dot- Lee

[Rick and Roll]

that way Xanadu could get a break every once in a while. And if you were feling really jaunty, you could include Floyd's "Several Species" song too!

[Roger -Dot- Lee(Admin)]

Greetings and salivations, ladies and germs!

We've got a few more additions to the wonderful AM library. I'm looking forward to checking this new stuff out myself.

• The Balkanescu Quartet -- Possessed
• Fred Frith -- Gravity
• Kevin Moore -- Ghost Book

Roger -Dot- Lee, who should have had this stuff stuffed and mounted yesterday. *blush*

[moses]

For those who aren't aware, the Balanescu Quartet stuff is mostly string quartet arrangements of Kraftwerk songs... interesting!

I think Roger dot had already posted this, but we had some serious weirdness with the forums over the weekend...

[Yesspaz]

no thanks to the hacker, this is the third time I've posted how glad I am Popol Vuh is hear. A major influence on Tarentel, they are one of the forgetten Krautrock bands, but are incredible.

I just noticed that there is an Opeth track on the playlist. When was this added?

I must admit to not liking anything this band have ever done apart from the "Damnation" album which has some great tracks on it.

I'm surprised that a few more weren't added.......was this the only one you thought fitted Jim? Just interested to know.

[progdirjim(Admin)]

I actually had nothing to do with Opeth being added. Based on the little I've heard of them (Inlcuding snippets of "Damnation"), I'm not interested in them...

[Roger -Dot- Lee(Admin)]

Greetings campers! I bring you good news from the front!

OK, enough silliness, let's get on with the new titles....

[Bob Lentil]
