Why the fuck did I sell my copy of TLS: The Fifth Mission (Return To The Flightpath Estate)

there's a japanese reissue you can get for around $25

I'm just going to listen to my 128kbps rip of Spark and Beacon Block and pretend life goes on

the first-two-track combos on each disc ("little did we know"/"best of stealth" and "enemy haze"/"beacon block") are so killer.

best of stealth otm

duwuwuwuwuwuwuwuw
dup duwuwuwuwuwuwuw
BZZZZZZZZZZ

so much more staying power than cubase freak idm shit

yer right it doesn't sound dated at all - but then no-one did anything else that sounded like it, not even them.

paisley dark kills me every time.

Rico's Helly is killing me right now
straight-up general midi preset acoustic bass and all

and once again I have had too many adult beverages and beacon block is telling me everything I need to know about life

i work on that flightpath estate.

still don't know where the sabresonic studio actually is/was

educational purposes

anybody who has a problem with Extended Branch Brothers is gonna have to go through me

You know there are Tenth Mission and Third Misson EPs too. Not that great though :(

Last two tracks off the 10th not too bad actually.

there's a copy in Seattle at Wall of Sound. used, $25. original issue.

this is one of the finest electronic albums ever made. weatherall spans multiple genres and does it in a way that is completely unique.

I bought this again expressly for the purpose of re-ripping it at a higher bitrate. Thanks smogtown records, arcadia CA 91007!!

ysi?

whoops, nevermindslajk;

Why isn't this still astonishing album in every 90s hipster's all-time list? Sui generis downtempo analogue electro funk, close your eyes and live your hipster fantasy of gangsta low-riding, midnight drive-bys, basement dive bars and smoke grenades from the comfort of your armchair.

Not even the best TLS record of that year:P

Swimming Not Skimming is the one for the bmx jumps outside chippies, and not just because of the Muzique Tropique Remix of Rico's Helly

The In the Nursery remix is the only one I can recall off that. I'll give it another spin.

First time I heard it I thought it sounded really tacky and unpolished (I'd been listening to the Stay Down / Tiny Reminders era) but it really grew on me

I was partial to Stockwell Steppas EP but this is really good too. I’m bummed I passed up a fairly mint used copy a couple years ago. My copy is battered and ‘well loved’.

I wasn't cool enough to have a bmx or a record player (also I was 23) so I had the cd version with a buncha different mixes. The original tracks have some good atmospherics but much closer to stay down/tiny reminders i.e. tidier beats.
