Memento
An immense part of my childhood and memories. Yet, contemporary in an unsettling way. And it is located far, far away in any meaningful sense of the words.
The City
It is a concept, an idea of sorts; Tokyo, Paris, London or Copenhagen. The city is an entity of its own. Always dynamic and depending on many views, architecture being one of them. So, maybe I am not a materialst after all, after all these years? The buildings being constructed in my city right now?… Continue reading The City
Depending On What You Want/Wish For
I recently acquired it (the magazine too). Why? I already knew that/I thought the collection was complete. It turned out to be incomplete, catastrophic. Missing tracks from Funkstörung, “Viceversa”. I searched the discs. They were not to be found. Among the missing: the Jay-jay Johnson remix? Have I never heard it before? Then it must… Continue reading Depending On What You Want/Wish For
Le Mépris By Le Mépris
I like this album a lot. It is so melancholic, it contains piano, cello and it is scaled down, yet dramatic.

Unreal stuff. They play and play and play… that is truly unbelievable. Overdoing it? Just a little bit? That’s fine by me. I… Continue reading Fab & Groove On Rinse.fm?
48 Hrs Is A Rather Long Time
I must confess that I’m a bit tired after all… Picture: 48 kHz / 48 hrs. Is it farfectched and outlandish? Possibly.
The Major Once Told Me
– “Full bass and no treble? That is the all classic teenage set-up?” I did have that set-up. I have matured a little since then possibly? No, not really. Picture: it is indeed my work horse, still in active duty. It’s my NAD 352 C amplifier coupled to basically every HW I have in my… Continue reading The Major Once Told Me
Eternal Breaks?
Do you mean that literall? Forever? Yes, I do mean that, forever. Beats forever, breaks forever, “Le tam-tam” forever.
