Welcome to the new BlahBlahCafe!

A new server, a new environment. Updated and all.

As with every migration, some things might have been lost in translation (at least, that's my experience in software development). The main problem is logging in into the boards. These could be caused by several reasons:

- Your browser cache & cookies need to be cleared because we moved to a new server. If you get the error message whilst logging: "The submitted form was invalid. Try submitting again.", you need to clear your cache & cookies. You can find a "Delete cookies" option at the bottom of this page.

- There is also a chance that your password is not correctly converted to the new system. This is a known bug with migrating the system. The only solution is to request a new password, there's a link on the form that will send an email to you to create a new password. If that fails, I can set a password for you, you can contact us at the "Contact us" link at the bottom of the page.

^ L’Apocalypse Des Animaux in that boxset has the last track as the first track, that alone is a huge screw up. Because of the flow of the album.

It also lists The Friends of Mr. Cairo, so it's probably just a mistake ;)

Well for 13 CDs I find it a great deal! Maybe I'm just comparing to the ridiculous price of the Oxygene trilogy bozset...

I'm definitely interested in that box. I only have 1 album from that box (Antarctica) so this will be the best moment to get the others too.

Just uploaded my "TT-dynamic range" measuring of the Rosetta vinyl.

Side one -> two -> three -> four.

It's actually better than the CD? Hadn't expected that, the CD is really good already!

Not quite sure how truthfully it will be taking the analogue signal from the tube amp into the line in phono plug to my PC. But right now it is what it is.
I don't have a usb turntable so can not do it any other way. It sounds damn good that's for sure. :P

USB will give worse results most likely due to the build in amplifier. My pickup would crush the sound a lot. Really wasn't anything even halfway decent. I just used the line in port.

The Delectus box was released today and nowhere available. I have it ordered online, but shipment can take another week disappointingly enough. Anyone happen to have seen it?

Is it remastered in the usual Vangelis way? Make it sound like the original album is played inside a bathroom, then record that with an open air mike and release it and call it a remaster?

Yeah, a shame about the 2013 (or so) remasters. Then again, I'm still sort of interested in getting the Spiral one (for cheap, though, and its price hasn't really changed in the past few years) due to the extra track (previously only on vinyl).

IIRC the Direct remaster changed some of the track starting points, and now the starting points as used in the previous CD versions have a clicking sound in them. How do you even manage to do that?

Why have I missed the album Voices? :o
Heard it on Youtube and found the CD at the swedish Ginza for like 9 bucks!
Very high DR scores on that one.
