And yet the entire album is 26 minutes long - 11 tracks FFS.
I just don’t get it.
Yeah I was listening in the car today and I was back to track 1 so quickly I thought it had skipped. It’s basically an ep and some sketches. Sounds great to me though.
Is it by the Ramones?
Just checked that Prince edit - the Crystal Waters mash up on the flip is pretty bonkers!
Got Susumu Yokota’s Acid Mt Fuji comp for Christmas from my youngest, its so good and a real latecomer highlight of 2024.

Electro When Doves Cry - I’m in 
. Yet another off-key gypsy woman mash-up, not so much. Scary amount of those this year.

I really enjoyed this. Love that we all swim in vaguely the same waters but all have nuggets of information that have criminally passed others by. The radio show recommendations are spot on and besides Joe and Howler I’m not as regular as I should be. That will change in 2025.
As much as I applaud this, “ there’s still treasure to be found on Discogs by searching for ‘dub mix’ and filtering on 1983” would everyone mind holding off until February so I can have a real go at it first?

Got loads of work to do so felt like a great time to knuckle down and put a list together… Big thanks to the forum and everyone running it, actively contributing and sharing. Turned my ear towards lots of great stuff throughout the year.
I’m at least 24 month off the pace so will probably have my list nailed down by early 2026. A few random bits amongst the obvious contenders worth a shout though.
EPs / Singles
Mysterytiime -Thank you deeply. [No, thank YOU. Standout record and song.]
Crooked Transmissions - Mega (Crooked) [Wild energy on this. 2 mins in onwards just blows my mind. Cant play this album in the car]
Richard Norris - Oracle Sound vol III. [Grower.]
Coral D - (everything) [Class.]
Knopha - Water Play
LPs
Jonny From Space - back then I didn’t but now I do
Holy Tongue and Shackleton
Numa Gama - A spectral turn. [random bandcamp thing. Love it. Great techno.]
New Old / Reissues etc
Mixmaster Morris, Jonah Sharp, Haruomi Hosono - Quiet Logic
Mixman - The Early Dubs
Mixes / Radio
TP mixes (DipFrisco, John Gomez etc)
Forum mixes from everyone who chucks them in there tbh
Toby Tobias on Balaami
Apiento NTS
Silver Rox - loved this radio show, thanks @elzorro
Record shop -
