  1. Ah man, his name came up in conversation the other night as a few mutual friends were intending visiting him while they were back in the city. Never really knew him myself, but the few times our paths crossed he always seemed like a great guy.

    Fucking shame. RIP.

  2. May I ask why? While I'd imagine there are plenty of truly physical tape delay pedals out there, although I've yet to stumble upon one, my understanding is that what the space echo offers is fairly close to the original beast.

    (PS proper posting hiatus brought to an end. Huzzah and hurrah!)

  3. Chris Arp also won one of the competitions Limp Bizkit staged back when they were trying to find a new guitarist... makes you wonder what would have happened if he ended up in the band.

    I'd definitely recommend having a listen to Ideas Of Reference. Some of the stuff they do is just fucking crazy, especially on Bones To Dust.

  4. I've no idea; I'm not sure what the spectrum is.. It tries to hit the emotions, yet repeatedly conveys just the one: gushy, romantic self-importance.

    I was referring to the music commonly associated with those who seek "emotional and enlightening" journeys. Apologies, should have expanded on that.

    What the hell, another recommendation. If strange, ambient, and mildly depressing (all depending on mood of course) music is something you wish to hear, get hold of 1000% Downer by Ginnungagap. If you do not succumb to the melancholy of the dreary "vocals" and the sparse guitar work of Reasonably Miserable, then ye shall be rewarded. An excellent track to listen to while unwinding during and after a peak, although not one for those who are not accustomed to such a still of music. Could I have attempted to sell it any more?!

    Be as well mention In The Court Of The Crimson King by King Crimson as well, especially for the title track.

  5. I disagree. I think it tries far too hard to be exactly the sort of thing people seeking emotional or enlightening journeys would enjoy. I find the whole thing really cringeworthy now; it's impossible to listen without thinking yourself pretty big and clever.

    Would it not be true to say that that opinion can be attributed to many albums with many albums within that particular spectrum of music though?

    While I take your point, I made the recommendation on the basis that I've found myself drifting off while listening to it rather easily. That said... that's usually after four or five rather large ones. :laughing:

    Oh, and as another recommendation, yae cannae beat a bit of Masters Of Brutality by Church Of Misery.

  6. Elaborations of Carbon by Yob always set me well for an evening filled with wondering why the ceiling is moving, and if those eyes I can see are really there. That or A Sun That Never Sets by Neurosis. Failing that, Boards of Canada's Geogaddi is brilliant for that eerie ambient effect.

    Still, all depends on taste, I guess.

  7. There's usually ones on eBay from time to time. Don't know about average prices, as it's been a while since I last looked out for them. They seem to appear more often from stateside sellers than european.

    Good luck in finding one. Heard they've got a really sweet tone.

  8. Boss PW-10 V-Wah

    Barely used, gigged once. Boxed, with instructions. - 50

    Boss MT-2

    Gigged several times, although no real damage (only a few minor scratches). Boxed, with instructions. - 35 *

    Digitech Synth Wah Envelope Filter

    Barely used, never gigged. Boxed, no instructions**. - 40

    Selling these through lack of use. Nearest off will be considered for all pedals. PM me or reply if you are interested in any of these.

    *I may already have a buyer for the MT-2, but feel free to register an interest, as I will be in contact in the event that the sale should fall through.

    **I've yet to find the instructions for this pedal, but I may still have them somewhere, although a PDF alternative can be found here.

  9. Auch, sod it. I'll throw my name into the ring as well. I've been wanting to do a snail paced project for a while now.

    I'd say my main influences are Boris, Cult of Luna (Celestial era), Goatsnake, Graves At Sea, Neurosis, Sunn (White1/2 era), and Yob.

    Oh, and I tune down to G# as standard. :D

    It just occurred to me that Celestial is by Isis, not Cult Of Luna. The Beyond was the album I meant.

    If only there wasn't that bloody time restriction on the ability to edit posts. Still makes the thread look busier I guess. :up:

  10. Hhmm... Also have one that I wouldn't mind selling on to a good home. It's been gigged a few times, but other than a few minor scratches it's in perfect condition. If you don't have any success in getting one, drop me a PM with an offer, and I'll get back to you. I've been considering buying in a new distortion pedal anyway.
