i've got the telstar 100% jungle vol 2 - it's fucking ace too, god knows how...

some of those old cash in jungle compilations are amazing. the tunes wouldn't have been worth any money in those days so they just got all the best ones for now :cool:
 
that is a good tracklisting

ahh, the tapes i used to get from my big brothers mate back in the day.....better than anything ever :D
 
yes! it's superb that comp - my ex-housemate had it, with unfortunately 1 cd missing. it's all full length versions too, wheras the telstar ones are all edits, frustratingly...
 
it's like a .zip - once you've downloaded it, it'll be opened with stuffit. i've never had any problems with 'em on a mac?
 
there's a few programs you can download for unpacking .rars for the mac - all 'trial' versions, but the trial version of winrar i'm using still seems to work 12 months on...
 
what's a rar file? and how do you get a mac to play them?

They aren't music files, they're collections thereof. It's the standard way things are shared on rapidshare.

I agree it's a bit of a hassle faffing arond creating new folders and unzipping them all one by one, especially if your hard drive isn't that big.
 
Don't do "genre", but...

Television Personalities - The painted word

Kinks - Village green preservation society

Fall - Grotesque (after the gramme)

Sonny Rollins - Saxophone colossus

Robert Johnson - one of the various collections
 
How's that torrent coming along? It ought to be doing better now as quite a few people are seeding it.


Just finished!

Chugged along at a miserable 10k for about an hour and then sorted itself out.

Not sure I will listen to it tonight given that it is chill-out before work evening time and I want something mellow/mournful.

Will probably rip it for the car for tomorrow.

Cheers mate.

:)
 
Yeah, the god machine are not mellow, although there are a couple of absolute beauts of mellow/acoustic songs - in particular, "It's All Over", "Seven", "Purity" and "The Piano Song" from the first one and "In Bad Dreams" from the second.

It's, particularly the first one, an album you have to listen to in the right order - do not listen to it on shuffle. the album tells an epic story.

One day, when I'm rich (lol) I'm going to get a film crew and go round the world making a complete film to accompany the album, telling the story that I always think of when listening to it. :)

That's what grabbed me about it when I first heard it, there's relatively little rock music which has that 'classical' feel to it - and if it does it tends to over-veer into 'mellow' territory or be indulgent and proggy. This is neither, it's a true one off :)
