I've been polite for too long, why should I be any more?

One Thousand : \

Synaesthesia - Dark Core

If karma worked the way it was supposed to, I'd either be Supreme Emperor of Earth, or dead.

I do like the idea of having so many mixes and versions of the same song, like the two versions of Near Fantastica. Or, as I am listening to now, we've got The Wretched, then we've got The Wretched (Version - Keith Hillebrandt), which is just a whole different kind of badass. It's classy.

Sonic Mayhem - Kill Ratio

Nine Inch Nails - The Wretched (Version - Keith Hillebrandt)

Shpongle - Dorset Perception

They are electronica...psychedelic everything with a bit of a middle eastern sound...kinda trance, kinda not. Though I've heard their next album will be closer to rock. Vocals usually suck, but there aren't alot of them in most songs. You might have to be a fan of electronica to enjoy it, I'm not sure...but they are about as mainstream as psy gets.

I'm pretty sure I can guess the results of this one, but it's more out of interest than anything. I just listened to their latest album straight through for the first time in months....excellent stuff, when they lay off the vocals.

I have Pretty Hate Machine, Downward Spiral, Fragile, and Broken, as well as several others which are almost entirely remixes of the aforementioned albums. And yeah, I do intend to legitimately....'reaquire' these next time I hit a music store...if they have them.

So does Matt get paid for what the retailers buy, or what the retailers sell? Not much of a distinction, I know...but...well...might as well learn about this.

"Before The Dawn Heals Us"? French electronica, huh....gonna have to check that out.

So was there a point to this?

I am...pretty much a brand new NIN fan, as of mere weeks ago. Been trying to get my hands on more stuff recently.

I'd be interested to know what it costs to produce something like this...studio time, CD pressing, packaging art and fabrication, distribution...gotta assume the record company is going to pay for most of that.

It was never really clear...I just assumed you could. Not like we're playing for cash, anyway. The Crystal Method - Breakin On The Street (Stir Fry)

Poets of The Fall - Late Goodbye

Fatboy Slim - Love Island

Astral Projection - Let There Be Light (Atomic Pulse vs Perplex mix) Ahhh... Goa Trance at its best

Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun

The Killers - Mr. Brightside Which is odd, come to think of it, because I don't have the album, no do I remember downloading anything by them...

Once I saw a guy who looked like Matt, but it turned out he was just an idiot customer who wanted candy cane chocolate fudge peanut butter ultracookies imported from Prussia via autogyro, or some equally unlikely product. Beyond that, the concerts.

Most of them had their moments...it's where I got my sig, at any rate.
