Ismael is that a Ride drum sample?

Aaaarrrggghhh. Shitty wi-fi won't let me hear this.

i was wondering why it wouldn't play for me. is that why?

MaresNest htf did you spot that?! It's the intro to Dreams Burn Down, chopped up slightly.

The two episodes where it drops out of time a little are down to me messing up when trying to change tempo, obviously Loz is blameless as ever.

Just geeky I guess :) Although Loz is all over the shop in that little intro, Bonham he ain't

Loving Tom's multitracked Fripp guitars

Thanks ken. Sorry for bustin' your chops.

Are people listening to this on Soundcloud? If so, how the feck are they doing it?

I'm listening to it via the soundcloud iphone app, seems to be working fine.

On my macbook at home, working fine too

i can't get it to do anything either, bit shit as i'm itching for some february 2014 nostalgia.

listening at work. no problems.

I listened to the whole thing without any problems

At this moment I am on one of my perennial coach journeys from hell (actually from Glasgow to London) (but hey it's cheap) and am subject to the in-coach WiFi so can absolve ken of any blame this time.

dig yr Fripp/Rother guitar playing Tom, no amount of money would persuade me to suffer thru one of those Glasgow-London coach trips again tho :p

this is really good

it holds together suprisingly well as a weird little lo-fi experimental pop record haha

Good stuff. Lots of instrumentals and near-instrumentals.

just listening to this now!

i still can't get it to play!

yay! thanks ken and contributors. sounding good so far.

this is very nice

particularly enamoured w/ ken's, NBS' and trayce's

oh and NA/LL obvs

but a very consistent set and it makes for a sweet listen-thru

haha I shdn't have picked favourites, MaresNest's now rly rly growing on me second time around, which makes sense given our shared sensibilities. the whole thing will presumably have great replay appeal

hehe, yeah i always hesitate to mention specific tracks too, for the same reason. really dig LL/NA's track though.

listening now!
so proud to be in such talented company!

tom d - who is hans krankl? loved the swell of this song!
KM - can you tell me more about pineapple? it's masterfully nightmarish!
britishers + trayce tbrr i am really enjoying hearing your voices
also the sequencing has been great! loved "by this river" as the last song too.
thanks ken c, sorry for giving you a hard time
"he walked on two keys repeatedly" :D

?

he looks kinda like a bloated terence stamp in that picture

Yet to get to listen to this, am at work - but thanks for the props guys :) I was worried ppl would think I desecrated Eno :(

the fact the 10 on Arsh's shirt is canted in the same italicised way as the title makes it look like this album is called Freestyler 10

this is bugging me

the compilation is absolutely a grower tho

i know - noticed that, but then couldn't be arsed to update it thought it was more interesting that way

Have managed to hear about half of this so far. Great stuff! Well done all!

tom d - who is hans krankl?

The track was originally called "Franz Klammer", and so tied in with the Winter Olympics, but in a fit of pique I suggested ken rename it "Hans Krankl" as the release date crept ever closer to the start of the (football) World Cup and the Winter Olympics 2014 became a distant memory. Hans Krankl being the most famous Austrian footballer of the 70s (as Klammer was the most famous Austrian downhill skier of the 70s). I wish I hadn't now as "Franz Klammer" is more appropriate and a better title!

it totally sounds like the winter olympics! i really liked it.

would you like me to change it back Tom? I can see what can be done..

also the blurbs (only 2 songs have one) have been added to the "comments" tag of the .flac file but again this doesn't show on soundcloud i think

Well, change it back if you can ken

i'll give it a go - hopefully doesn't take me 2 months ;)

Just had a listen, very good work everyone.

hope otamatone will feature in the next one

Track three: I don't think Can ever did dub reggae, but if they had...

They did reggae for sure. That track is totally 1979/80... which is a major compliment in my book.

Ah, I meant with Damo. But, yes.

yeah not to blow our collective trumpet too much but this whole album is str8 fucken awesome and I been listening to it front-to-back on a v v regular basis

particularly enamoured w/ ken's, NBS' and trayce's

thanks, btw

Yeah it's a good track. How come you had it sitting around for twenty years? What was it initially?
