On the turntable, of Time and Roedelius....truly sublime.

Almost bought that and others by them in Tower last year! Maybe I'm wrong but the band wagon jumping on the mind numbingly simplistic sequencer stuff ad nauseum was a definite turn off.....and they're not the only ones :( Still I did manage to buy one of Mark's solo album and it wasn't half bad simply because he kept it simple :) Is it time for a reappraisal?

Cybot,
Some of this is really good some o.k.
One thing for sure is they have a talent individually and collectively,but i think you are in a much better place to judge this type of electronic music than me as
you've been putting a critical ear to this for many many years..

Never really 'got' this collection at all. Just banging for the sake of banging! Still it was the only real blip in his career....

Now this is more like it :) On vinyl as always and one of his very best....Go on you know who it is :)
