It's not a Mike Oldfield release, per se -- it's a various artists compilation from Virgin Records, on which Mike Oldfield appears. I ran into the same thing (never heard of it, discovered it, had to have it immediately). IIRC, there's some good stuff on there -- I think Tangerine Dream and Klaus Shulze...nope, found it -- just Tangerine Dream, no Klaus Schulze, but there's some Henry Cow, Hatfield and the North, and other good proggy stuff, if you're into that. I have no idea what that Tom Newman collaboration is.

This would not happen on postjack's forum.

No, I don't think you've posted that one before. So thanks -- my feet do the "happy dance" too, when I"m eating something that I really really enjoy. Although I don't expose my harblz like that.

Jesus that's a lot of headphones.

I know, I know.

No, you're not a spaz -- I hate that shit, too. And congratulations on being able to hold down a job.

Pfff. It's not so much that I abandoned sex, so much as sex abandoned me.

Anyone abandoning headphones for speakers and/or sex, please contact me to sell me your cool gear. Please and thank you.

There's a whole concept ... I call it CMR -- "Celebrity Most Resembling" ... I think it was first propagated by William Gibson or Bruce Sterling, where people used it to pick out strangers in a crowd, for example, picking up someone at the airport.

Awesome, you can be the grandfather godfather.

Pfff.

That's almost redundant. I was just telling some friends earlier this story how before there were humans, there were these aliens that landed on earth not unlike cats. Then an omnipotent being materialized and told them that soon life would be evolving on this planet, and, in all likelihood, wipe them out. They had several choices -- one was to allow themselves to be dumbed down and treated as pets by this new species. Dumbing them down would prevent them from being perceived as a threat, and therefore allow them to survive. The cats said, "sure, that one".

Okay, so now you have two copies of the same CD, one without the cover?

Can I be treasurer? We ought to be rolling in dough since we're not spending thousands of dollars on ridiculous headphones.

But really, my words fail at the hilarity of the image.

VPI turntable, I presume, into Singlepower as a pre -- what are you using as a phono pre?

Re: smilies -- I rejoice! And: Halp! Halp! boomana is being repressed!

You could try contacting an administrator about it. "Correcting factual information in post" or somewhatnot.

Wouldn't that be, "...My Reflection"? (Note the singular.)

Someone had a tattoo of a cat on their stomach -- bellybutton == asshole of cat in typical cat "TMI" style.

$31?!?!? eBay is god's way of saying you have too damn much money. And: which remix?

No, bad. Post publicly, please.

Big fan of the movies (although I suck at being a fan -- haven't even seen Naqoyqatsi yet) -- Koyaanisqatsi itself is in my top 10 favourite movies of all time.
