Don't know if this has been talked about already, but you can kind of sort of spell out the letters of the album name using the seven hexagons. Sort of have to squint for the f and the e but it sorta works.

Actually it might be Burko not Blippo…

It's Blippo Stencil

Mecanorma transfers Blippo Black?

Also find it funny that one of the pages linked to from that Flickr page shows a font like it being used for the title card of the old TV show Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads?

Apols if this has already been said, but out of curiosity I checked the dates of the security certificate for m and they are…

Valid From: 20-Mar-2025 04:59:17 +0000
Valid To: 18-Jun-2025 05:57:41 +0000

So, does 18 June 2025 mean anything? That’s quite a short lifespan for a certificate. Usually ...

I got new headphones recently. Made me hear Heard from Telegraph Lines in a different way. It has a beat, of sorts. Now it sounds like one part (the main part you hear) is the soloed part of a mix and the rest of the track, a much bigger arrangement, is kind of playing in another room. The first ...

Hello,

I'm currently going through a box of old cassettes to figure out what I should chuck, digitise, keep, etc.

One of the cassettes has a recording I made of an episode of the BBC Radio 3 show Mixing It from 8th June 1998, where they play An Eagle In Your Mind for the first time. After a bit of ...

It's bits of Aldebaran by Enya over a beat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BGueFuAXA0

Interesting rhythms played backwards.

Umm. Is the title anything to with Jacquard Island in Nova Scotia? I mean, it's an island (in that there Canada) and they can have causeways to get to them.

Not too far from the Trans Canada Highway…? (Yes, pushing it, but you never know… )

Or this old computer? https://collection.maas.museum/object/460200

Anyone else gone down the rathole of palindromic dates in 2021 as potential release dates yet?

In 2021 (I think, I'm not a calendaroligist):

20 Jan (US format): 12021 or 1202021 (also the day a certain someone exits a certain building)
1 Feb (UK format): 1221
12 Feb (UK format) and also 2 Dec (US ...

I bought them as I've never had the albums as uncompressed files before and the Bandcamp email receipt says:

If that's the case then they truly are arts and crafts supermasters. It makes me happy to think that they're having fun recreating their favourite tunes and sounds.

Call me nuts but it sounds to me like they recreated the synth chords at the start of the Slave to the Rhythm / Just an Illusion / Aquarius bit, and I have my suspicions on the string build up as well. I know that album and its remixes to bits and I can’t find where they would have cleanly extracted ...

Thank you. The track with the fretless bass and piano was super uplifting and the ending got me all wobbly.

Butterfly!

This is beautiful.
