I note with some amusement that the last time I posted here was also a BandCamp Friday... A month has passed. A lot has been going on at home, and very little of it music-related (sadly). Nothing new to report (or sell), so go out and listen to some new music. Be excellent to each other.

Barry C (aka Legacy Systems) @legacysystems.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

As someone who currently makes largely unstructured music, dropping my latest album in-between 2 Bandcamp Friday's really is the pinnacle of bad timing. And then add in the fact that I am on the road travelling up to Northumberland tomorrow and that rules out further timely promotions 😬

Oh yes indeed... Copy ordered, and also thanks to @abrinsky.bsky.social for alerting me to it 👏

Drones your thing? Maybe horror-scapes, disturbing voices or unnerving sounds? If this or a bundle of other weird stuff happening in-between your left and right speakers takes your fancy, then my new album, released today, might just tickle your fancy... legacysystems.bandcamp.com/album/drones...

The postie has just delivered me a box of tapes. My new album - Dronescapes vol 2: Ancient Dreams I also decided to give my earlier digital-only album - Dronescapes vol 1: The Larsen Effect a physical presence too. Just giving them a play-test now, but very excited about this.

Welcome to Joel's Vinyl Adoption Agency. As we're travelling Kameyama, I've put this Japanese pressing of No Parlez up for adoption. An 80s classic with added obi. To adopt comment 'where's my hat?' A random wheel thingy will choose a winner later. RePost is not required, but it is appreciated.

Stuck on a boring Teams call, so thought I would take the opportunity to update my Discogs collection... I'm getting so many "page unavailable" errors that I can only conclude that either Discogs is having problems, or ... My collection is so large already that I cannot add anything else!

And since I am stuck in 1989, this is the other record I bought at the same time as the 24-7 Spyz album. Kings-X - one of those 'under the radar' bands that seems to have a devout following for live performances (and they are very excellent live), but never hit the mainstream.

030

Barry C (aka Legacy Systems) @legacysystems.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

Just heard the news that Peter Forrest (aka P. Fluid) the vocalist from 24-7 Spyz is dead. I remember buying this from my local record store and the mate I was with at the time looked at me as if I were crazy! Certainly not in keeping with the other records I was also buying.

Anyone care to suggest a decent platform for selling Eurorack Modules? I'm having a re-jig of my racks and will be shifting a few. I'd previously had some success with eBay, however their recently announced changes to private sellers means that I'm completely disincentivized to go back. ⬇️
