Let's talk about some fricken expensive records, shall we? Dan Lacksman is a Belgian fella who did a fair amount of noodling with his Moog modular in the 70s. He produced at least one timeless classic: A guy I met on slsk in the early 00s turned me on to Electronic System. Same guy who sang the praises of FLACs to me (this was at a time when I thought 320k mp3s were overly large.) Oww, my ass! $400, pls. This is in spite of the above track (which is really the only reason to own the album) being released on this compilation a couple years ago. (Yes, I have both a needle drop of the '74 vinyl and the 2017 CD in FLAC.) Regular listeners to Test Tone will note that I have long held the belief that one does not want to enter into a bidding price pissing contest with serious ambient collectors. Strictly speaking, Electronic System is (electronic) lounge, but the overlap in the venn diagram of the listening base is pretty large. Add to that the Moog modular synth provenance, scarcity of the records and hoo baby, thats some expensive wax. Footnote, there's an earlier pressing with some truly terrible artwork ("let's put a bikini babe on there, we'll sell a million!") but as the bard would say, herein lies the rub: the '73 version of Skylab is shorty, faster and more Moogy. This I do not have and really do want to hear. I have something of a fetish for 70s Moog noodling.

I tried to fine a picture of Epstein and Bill Clinton together, but GIS didn't produce anything meaningful. I did stumble across this: ...is Donny trying to grab Slick's Willie? O_o

I'm afraid Torpedo is mostly right. FB2K/Mac plays back FLACs and has ReplayGain (two features I require), but it lacks any support for last.fm or libre.fm. I wish the latter was slightly less FLOSSy after nearly a decade. >.<

Me 10 years ago: "The thing I miss most from Windows is Foobar2000. I wish there was a decent equivalent." Me right now [after using FB2K for the few days my Macintop was in the shop): "I still miss foobar, I wonder what's the best equivalent these days" Foobar devs: I gotchu fam. In the parlance of our times, oh snizzle. Testing it out now.
