still a great album

Pretty sure The Tuss has been confirmed as an AFX side-project.

There's also Steinvord, which is coming out really soon and is probably AFX+Squarepusher, but no-one knows for sure.

enmore theatre, mar 2?

most of the keys in that are from a roland hs-60 (consumer version of one of the juno synths) except a tiny bit of dinky yamaha vss-100.

:-)

90% of stuff sounds perfectly fine at 256kbps or above, if you rip from cd yourself and use a good encoder (or buy from a decent online service like bleep).

some things always sound weird though. anything with lots of stereo separation and white noise tends to get a bit mangled. still worth it i reckon.

(I really like akg studio headphones tho)

i really disliked the one pair of akg in-ears i tried. weird phasey top-end and massive peak somewhere at the top of the upper mids. i found them painful.

i picked up some fakes by mistake off ebay

they looked exactly right - but they sounded bad, and were mono (!!!!!). sent them back and got a refund.

about to pull the trigger on some etymotics, fingers crossed they're good.

Replica is pretty great
