I haven't forgotten about this Trif. Back from holiday tomorrow and once I spend a week attempting to compile my limited 2023 thoughts together, I'll take the plunge.

This has been hypnotic, serene, and enthralling so far. Amazing stuff.

NICE. Basic Channel 😍 I personally prefer this one (and probably 2) over 3, but it's a woooonderful record for sure.



Have you checked his post-1-2-3 stuff yet Johnny? Especially the previously mentioned Steingarten and Wald are very much worth your time.



Also can you maybe fix the s/t's album art for this horrible plant??? 😇

I dig 2 q a bit (slightly more than this, although it's more of an album-album than a song-album I think?), but it now makes a lot more sense in context as a dubby transition into 3 hm
I will look at artwork I am furiously angry!!

Greetings ye denizens of sputnik,



I have been unfairly pinned to the couch by a force far greater than myself. I am navigating the internet using naught but a keyboard. I am in need of stimulation - but it must be subtle! My condition is too precarious for fireworks and cock rock (oh Swans how I long for a suitable listening climate). Pole are getting it done. Pole are assisting my convalescence with aplomb. But all good things must end.



More! I need more! Not necessarily dub techno - in fact I quite often find the genre a bit boring, which has been a little frustrating in the midst of what appears to be a minor renaissance for the genre on sput. So uh, rather than sister albums, can anybody recommend me cousin albums to soothe my state? In return, I offer nothing but gratitude.



My fire just relit itself from the verge of extinguishing and I am greatly relieved from my prison across the room. None of this is metaphoric.



With love,

Milo

POLE 2 (is better than pole 1)
POLE 3 (is best of all)
POLA MEETS LYRICA (is the nerve tonic you need)
BROCK VAN WEY - WHITE CLOUDS DRIFT ON AND ON (is the oblivion ticket you maybe need but handle with care)
LFG
