Thanks. Lots of interesting names to check out there. I do really need to get onto Silent Servant and Vatican Shadow, but I never really heard Sandwell District and I hate switching on a film halfway through... I will get onto it though.

On Reflection! Of course! I did think that was who you were actually. What are your 2012 favourites? I keep meaning to do a journal on it but struggling to find time-I think my top 20 includes all the Pan stuff (Helm, Heatsick, Eli Keszler,NHK Koyxen, Ben Vida) and then a lot of technoish stuff like the Mark Fell, Moritz Von Oswald Trio, Shackleton, Actress, Claro Intelecto, oh yes the new Ricardo Villalobos...there's obviously my fanbot infatuation with Machnefabriek to consider too, plus that brilliant Windy & Carl record...I played the Congos/Sun Araw thing a lot this summer...and I like some of the indie stuff that's come out lately, Grizzly Bear, Animal Collective, Micachu & The Shapes, Menomena...they've all made better albums I think, but they're still a nice change fo gear for me...Gareth Dickson's album is sweet, the Tape Loop[ Orchestra stuff is interesting....I haven't included short ones (Akkord, Burial) anyway, not that you asked for it, but those are on my list :-)

Hi. Sorry about my senility, but what's your usernom on the biplane?

org vocal Brandy's I Wanna Be Down (vocal: "there ain't no other for me it's only you").

Thank you, you made my day. (And from someone who listens to Jay Reatard more than the Beatles, no less!)
