9 in 1 (43)

The Space Shuttle Atlantis streaks skyward as sunlight pierces through the gap between the orbiter and ET assembly. Atlantis lifted off on the 42nd space shuttle flight at 11:02 a.m. EDT on August 2, 1991 carrying a crew of five and TDRS-E. A remote camera at the 275-foot level of the Fixed Surface Structure took this picture - then glitched, banged in a circle frame, and 43 slapped on it


Insert intro here.

DJ Subaru - I ᐸ3 You

As mentioned in the last list, I was looking to add this track when I instead added the Prins Thomas remix of My Love. Turns out I <3 You is on the same EP. I blame YouTube search, the emoji in the title, the good lord, and everything apart from myself.


Aphex Twin - Carn Marth

Three 9-in-1s in a row with an Aphex track? I always thought this was called Corn Mouth. Not sure I can show my face in Cornwall again. (Carn Marth is a hill near Redruth, which I would've known if I'd finished reading Walking the Music of Aphex Twin).


Bill Nelson - Tender Is The Night

A second appearance for Bill Nelson in one of these lists, after When The Birds Return popped up in 9 in 1 (30). I need to delve into his back catalogue for more skewiff synth-pop gems from the 1980s like this.


I Start Counting - Talk About The Weather

Talking of skewiff synth-pop gems from the 1980s, how about this banger that came out on Mute?


The Whitest Boy Alive - Burning

Fun fact - this is the first-ever mp3 I bought off iTunes. Deeply Mid-00s coded. Love Erlend Øye's voice.


Electrelane - Saturday

I also really love Verity Susman's voice. And once again I commit on this blog to getting some Electrelane albums in my life.


Picross DS OST - Ambient

I'm now into Picross. And I'm gonna crack open Fruity Loops and Audacity to make a chopped and screwed remix of this gem by Nobuhiro Ōuchi, Masashi Sugiyama, and/or Ayako Yamaguchi for the Nintendo DS. At some point in 2025. Maybe.


Adam F - Circles

I could've picked a higher res/bit-rate video, but as I've said before, I like the grainy look and crunchy audio of stuff uploaded to YouTube over 18 years ago.


Q Project - Champion Sound (Total Science Remix)

Yep, as I approach peak mid-life crisis mode, I'm fully getting back into the drum and bass I listened to as a teen. God the sound that crashes in at 2:48. Off to Discogs I go!
