i recently acquired copies of many albums from a friend, and have since been enjoying listening to, amongst others, the following:

brain eno - 'here come the warm jets'
pink floyd - 'obscured by clouds' & 'meddle'
the jimi hendrix experience - 'electric ladyland'
david bowie - 'low'
the rolling stones - 'beggars banquet'
salmonella dub - 'one drop east'
air - 'moon safari'

in some cases, these are albums i haven't heard for some time; in other cases, i am enjoying some in full for the first time.
good gear.

on another note i have finally 'got my finger out' and enabled comments to be posted by anyone, rather than only registered users. from a somewhat optimistic perspective (or am i just kidding myself? probably ...), i primairly attribute the lack of recent comments (and indeed the general lack of substantial numbers of comments) to this factor - i.e. that previously only registered users could post comments. one way in which you, the reader, and support my flimsy hypothesis (or hope) is to now go ahead & post comments ... don't fall over yourselves doing so, now. an alternative hypothesis is that the lack of comments might be related to the typically rather ordinary contents posted on this blog, and/or the relatively low frequency of posts. i'll consider testing those hypotheses (which indeed might be more challenging) at a later stage, if appropriate, after now testing the first, rather optimistic hypothesis.
