Well said Skytree. There are too many good records, also a lot of good stuff on Benbecula. Loved when he was playing with drums around 2012, loved the soundtrack too. Metamorphic.. so many.

He did a djmix for us about a decade ago:

Fantastic artist.

To me, it's remarkable that people make music at all, let alone put it out there for scrutiny, among other things. It's been hard at times to stick with it myself. Lots of noise and negative comments really can weigh on one's mind and creative spirit, and I know his proximity to Boards is both a blessing and a curse.

To keep creating through all the aimless hate, rampant cluelessness, brief attention spans, AI slop, you name it, takes a very special kind of person. I'm still trying to give myself permission to be like him and other musician friends I look up to immensely.

Well said man.

I can't even begin to imagine, and you're spot on - enduring all of that says so much about the man. Mad respect to Chris for his persistent expression all these years, despite the noise.

I was actually just listening to Kardashev Type One earlier this afternoon. The whole Cathexis project is so fucking cool.

I also heard rumblings last month of a Pylonesque analogue remaster coming soon on baby blue! Really hoping to get my hands on a copy. An incredible EP that has been a constant in my life, and will always be at top of my list - amongst his other works of course!

Absolom (For Lucy) is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.

I remember hearing Ganky on Blue Shift Emissions for the first time. I hadn't heard anything like it - still gives me goosebumps. I picked up christ. live on cd a ways back (still have it in my cd collection alongside distance!) just because I love the live version so much.

I remember some time ago back when myspace was a thing, he wrote on my wall and simply said something like 'hell yeah man' and he let me know he was listening to a track I put up. I still think about it. Sometimes when I'm recommending his music to people I will mention it like 'yeah no big deal', despite my self-proclaimed inability to be star-struck or whatever hah.

He also ended up sending me the recording of his peel session some time ago, buuuut unfortunately I ended up losing that hard drive and the recording with it a while back.

Anyways, I wanted to pop in and share my love of Christ. and say that Chris is a musical hero of mine. I cherish his work and he has inspired me immensely through the years!

True BoC fan confession: I've never listened to Christ., AFAIK. I guess I should. I guess I've been saving it for later, but I'm not sure what later I'm waiting for.

Ah, thanks. Pretty sure I actually have heard this one. Definitely has AFOT/R35TT vibes.

Just so you know, he's just released a remastered version of this on limited edition vinyl, only a few copies left on this bandcamp.

Thank you guys for the positive response to my comments. A bit of a side note, but I continue to get music orders to this day thanks to Christ's recommendations list on Bandcamp. I am one of three artists on his list. I need to send him a gift basket or something after all these years of connections and contributions from his fan base: https://bandcamp.com/recommended/christmusic
