Been digesting a load of Demdike mixes lately. Some superbly diverse selections all cohesively mixed. Would single out the Osmosis, FACT and xlr8r sessions in particular.

I prefer droney Demdike like Liberation EP, kind of disliked the Testpressing series when it was coming out but think this album is great on first couple listens

I like as always how their production m.o. is "a good idea presented simply"

Yeah I really like it. I was initially disappointed to read they'd moved away from the droney side of things but this LP is great.

picked up the 3cd edition today, so have a lot of soak up,but 'elogy' from the testpressings is fantastic.i much prefer this to the drone stuff to be honest.

the 3cd edition is the one to get, fantastic to have the testpressings collected. "eulogy" is great, yes. each time after i play "dyslogy" in my car i feel i have to secure all nuts and bolts

blimey. "past majesty" is borderline earl brutus/pre new
― mark e, Thursday, 8 June 2017 14:17 (seven years ago) link
proper stereo listening : does not disappoint.

Revisiting the testpressings, "Fail" is absolutely immense.
