I listened to this a few days ago and it brought back so many good memories that I decided that I should post it to SoundCloud and let others enjoy it, or not of course, as the case may be.
Anyway, I hope you do enjoy it.

I love music. Making music, listening, talking about it and anything else too.
Hearing from an old friend
I was listening to an old track that I’d made with a friend a long time ago. It’s something I was really proud of. Something that I think really stands the test of time. I hadn’t heard from him in a couple of years so I sent him a text and got a really quick reply, and it looks like we’ll be meeting up in the not too distant future. That made my day.
App revisit: Randgrid
This app is one that hasn’t seen an update in years I think. It’s one of the original synth / drum machine apps, and whilst the interface isn’t great, especially by today’s standards, it has a nice randomise function to it which can be quite fun to play with.
So I think it can stay on my music iPhone 3G.
That Vintage Engine, nearly 3000 plays, really?
I happened to just check my soundcloud account to see how many plays I had this week, and couldn’t believe that this track had come in at almost 3000 plays! I have no idea why.
The Birds EP – Telefon Tel Aviv
A big thank you to Gerren who pointed out to me that this EP had been released. I had no idea and probably wouldn’t have noticed for ages and ages. I listened to it yesterday and it’s great, I really do love their blend of electronica, and this EP has some nice remix work on it too. So it’s a good addition to my Telefon Tel Aviv collection.
Suzanne Ciani – Lixiviation
I listened to this album for the first time yesterday. It’s a really interesting mix of her commercial and decidedly non-commercial work, although I’ve preferred listening to the non-commercial stuff most.
As an introduction to her music it’s quite interesting and will probably encourage me to listen to more.
After listening to ‘Aye’ by Martyn Bennett for a while
I wasn’t sure about this album but got it anyway. But having listened to it for the best part of 2 days I do like it. I don’t like all of it, I don’t like all the new material, but I think that some of the stuff that I haven’t heard before is really good. I’m glad I got it and I’m glad it was released.
Aye, by Martyn Bennett
I just got this album after it came out last week, and in many ways I’m looking forward to hearing it as I still love Martyn’s Grit album, which is completely awesome. I just hope that I haven’t set my expectations too high.
30 years since ‘Only You’ was released
Who could believe it? I had no idea that Yazoo was that old! It’s funny as I saw Vince Clarke and Alison Moyet play at the Mute festival at the Roundhouse last year and I thought they were brilliant.
I think I’ll have to listen to some Yazoo tomorrow.
