One of my favorite ambient dub albums, even after 15 years. Mat Jarvis's ethereal analogue string patches and minimalist portamento melodies are the stuff of legend. What I'm realizing now, with the advantage of a decade and a half of reflection, is that the song structure of the more beat-oriented tracks is essentially oldskool UK rave, slowed down and spaced out to Biosphere-like levels.

I heart Groove Salad. Even after nearly 20 years of obsessively collecting electronic downtempo, I still consistently find new stuff on there.

. o O I'd rather have a Unimog than any stinking Hummer. Failing that, a Gelandewagen. A 1953 Unimog came up for sale recently. It was serial #25, making it the oldest 404 in the US. I have a friend who's got the skills to work on it, but she (yes, she) is recovering from back surgery and is busy completing a double science major. I couldn't have afforded it anyway, unless I discontinued a few other things (like every other aspect of my life, including eating). I did save a picture of it:

The AR LS10 is completely balanced-or-SE (take a look at the back panel), but it is a bigger and more expensive unit. It is solid state, like the LS9. The LS22, LS25, and LS26 are similarly balanced/SE, but are tube and will be vastly more expensive than an LS9. Audio Research LS25 Mkll For Sale | AudiogoN $2500, sold. \

The LS9 has four sets of outputs in total. Both balanced, and one of the SE are preamp outs. There is also a SE record out, which is pass-through.

I went through a similar decision process in late '08. I needed a preamp with at least 2 balanced inputs and 2 balanced outputs. There's a thread on here somewhere where I discussed it [too bad this version of vBulletin dun have "search for all threads by user X" feature anymore ...or maybe there is and I can't find the sodding thing.] I ended up with an Audio Research LS9. It has exactly what I need: 2 balanced ins, 2 balanced outs, plus 3 SE ins and 1 SE out. It also has a remote, which is really handy. The LS9 a solid state unit, from a company known almost exclusively for their tube gear. Consequently, its used price is a lot lower than most AR gear. I got the LS9 for 1/2 what an equivalent BAT unit would cost me, and about 1/3 of a Pass. The BAT and Pass gear have way more sex appeal than the AR products, which are kind of stodgy looking. Of course, one doesn't listen to sex appeal...

I have had it with piece of shit Netgear WAPs.

Dammit I'm mad. Evil is a deed as I live. God, am I reviled? I rise, my bed on a sun, I melt. To be not one man emanating is sad. I piss. Alas, it is so late. Who stops to help? Man, it is hot. I'm in it. I tell. I am not a devil. I level "Mad Dog". Ah, say burning is, as a deified gulp, In my halo of a mired rum tin. I erase many men. Oh, to be man, a sin. Is evil in a clam? In a trap? No. It is open. On it I was stuck. Rats peed on hope. Elsewhere dips a web. Be still if I fill its ebb. Ew, a spider

Brand new album, from Heyoka. It's breakbeat, it's dubstep, it's dnb, it's glitchy, it's IDM, it's fricken amazing.

Thanks for your kind words. The service itself was very nice. Having to stand in line with the rest of the family and shake hands with all 150 attendees afterward was grueling in the extreme. My stepfather was a minister and profession of religion, as well as a WWII vet. He touched a lot of lives in his 85 years , and people came from all over the country to attend the memorial. It was touching that they were all there, but by the time I got done greeting up, the catering staff were packing up the hors d'oeuvres.

Going to my stepfather's memorial service. \
