Not entirely idm content:
I hvae just got a CD-R of Tortoise Remixed (with colour photocopied
artwork an' all!) and: my CD-ROM drive plays it fine; my Discman plays
it fine, my brother's totally fukt-up Discman-clone plays it (but in its
own special fukt-up way of course) but my family's Marantz CD Player
which is connected to my stereo won't have a bar of it. Doesn't believe
there's a CD in the drive at all, and won't even be tricked by pressing
play when the door isn't shut. Stubborn bastard.
So how can I play it on the stereo then I ask you? Is this a fault of
the CD-R? Or is it a fault of my (admittedly old) Marantz? Or is it
god's punishment to me for being an atheist?
Anyhow, I can play it by plugging my Discman into the stereo's Amp...
but it's just not the same.
obIDM: By the way, Tortoise Remixed is fantastic. I know it's a little
old know, but also hard to get so a lot of yas mightn't have it. The
Luke Vibert remix is great; the U.N.K.L.E. remix is great, the
Springheel Jack remix is great, so are the others; well that's a hell of
a lot of content you're saying! OK well basically imagine these people
remixing Tortoise and you'll get the idea - their particular styles on
top of Tortoise's mesmerising music. the Vibert one is I guess more the
plug side of things, strange drum'n'bass leanings, although there's a
bit of jungle-sounding stuff on the Mo'Wax album isn't there? (I haven't
got Big Soup yet...)
