How utterly immature. In fact, this is the EXACT REASON you got banned. You're both like fucking 5 year olds. Making webpages with 'Scotch sucks AGAs cock' is NOT MATURE BEHAVOIR, nor is making silly threads such as this. You are acting in such a pathetic manner you're only proving to everyone else how justified the bannings were.

This isn't about Nazi-ism, censorship, eliteism or any of that pish that people vomit up whenever a collective of people think enough is enough and punt them out of their online world, it's about us becoming SICK AND TIRED of putting up with tiresome immature trolls  who ruin the atmosphere for everyone else and taking the necessary action. It's been a long time coming.

Now shut up and fuck off. Find another community or IRC channel to infest.

Offtopic, but PaulSC gets a million points for having Geogaddi cover art as his avatar.

It's Bill Tiller's game fer'shaw.

Roll eyes.

Uh. It's been out for a good few years now.
If this was a joke post, try harder next time.

Sigur Rós, good taste that man.

Wasn't it PUSA that covered Video Killed The Radiostar?

I've taken it back to the drawing board while stuff for another project is being completed.

1. Orbital - The Girl With The Sun In Her Head (Simply one of the most beautiful pieces of electronic music written)

2. Aphex Twin - Nannou (Perfection is a song made with only a wind-up music box)

3. Elbow - Scattered Black And Whites (A song about nostalga, tugs at the heart strings and ends in such a sublime way you might feel like you're floating on pillars of light)

4. Boards Of Canada - You Could Feel The Sky (Unsettling to listen to, but remarkably awesome at the same time)

5. The Beatles - Tomorrow Never Knows (40 years ahead of it's time)

6. The Stone Roses - She Bangs The Drum (Madchester, innit)

7. Radiohead - Let Down (So much to say about Radiohead, Let Down is possibly my favourite track off their unquestionally best album)

8. Radiohead - Life In A Glass House (Of course I'd like to sit around and chat...)

9. RX Bandits - Taking Chase As The Serpent Slithers (A friend at Uni introduced me to the RX Bandits. They write complicated ska punk, and it's wonderful)

10. Miles Davis - Flamenco Sketches (Speaks for itself, really)

Alrightythen, I don't work fridays so I can technically be there. I'll send some info to you in the near future.

I can't imagine it'll be too much hassle to wait. I for one will be knackered anyway so it'll give us some time to have a quick nap somewhere

Yes, wires seem to have been crossed here. We're all flying out from Heatrow Airport, and arriving at John F. Kennedy Internation Airport of Mystery and Intrigue (which is what AGA is refering to with the word Kennedy for all the scottish super heros out there that got confused by it )

Coming from Heathrow.

Or alternativly check the world map: http://www.agsforums.com/worldmap.php

Yes, damnit I was watching Total Recall too!

I can't imagine it being anything other than an illusion as... well... that's what he does. And hasn't he been doing these mock seances on stage around the country?

Power of suggestion/mis-direction and all that.

Ah cripes, it begins with a X or something... Xagenon?

But... it's not an AGS game!1

I still need to work out if i'll be able to get the time off to come along (seeing as I've already got various other dates including a big week out for teh US). I shall get back to you shortly.

Edit: These posts are all directed to Strazer incidently. Radio does do extra mad compression to the sound due to the limited bandwith it has to broadcast, regarding your above point, shbaz.

Yes, I hear it too... hm, I've never noticed this before, i'll have to compare it with the cd I have tomorrow...

If it is, then whoever mastered the CD did a slightly sloppy job, as digital clipping is the most henious of crimes in the engineering world.

Sure, tweaking a peak here and there, but you don't try to "squeeze the music into a rectangle", do you?

Not squeeze it into a rectangle, no, but that's what it'll look like if you zoom out far enough
If the mix is well balanced with a smooth spectral curve then when it's amplified to just below 0dB it'll look like a big rectangle of sound when the whole thing is squished to fit the monitor's resolution. If you zoom in then you'll start to see all the dynamics still in tact. (Well, for the most part anyway. I'd go into this more but it's 2:10 and I need to go to bed)

I have Californication too and I haven't noticed any of the problems you're describing (being a music tech student has turned me into a bit of an annoying audiophile too)... perhaps you have got a duff copy of the CD, it's not uncommon for the media to get fucked up during the duplication process (a recent example of this would be the latest Radiohead EP in which one of the tracks got buggered when an error was introduced during it's production run).

Every single CD that exists commerically is mastered to be just under or peaking on 0dB, check any other cd you've got in a wave editing program and you'll find it's the same story - every track will mostly be a big retangular chunk with hardly any dynamics. It's unfortuantly one of the many industrial standards that came about when the CD became the main recording format.

Edit: It's not necessarily a terrible crime against humanity as that website seems to be making out though. I do exactly the same thing regarding mastering/compressing/limiting to the music I make... so whatever....
