Playing 33s on 45 is my favorite thing about vinyl. I don't have much of it so can't make many recommendations. The Moros Nyx - Rite of Rebellion 7" sounds pretty cool that way. My parents have a lot of classical music on vinyl, so I've experimented with that. My favorite is playing an LP of ha...

Re: opinions about the old French metal scene

No Remorse is releasing H & H compilation which features they single and that 11 track demo. Really cool news! Anyone heard this yet? Another one of those "Awesome-single/bad-demos" affairs a la your random NWOBHM 2LP HRR reissue? :| Yes, that's pretty much how it is. The demo tracks ...

Re: Damn the Machine - The Story of Noise Records Book

I finished this last week. It's a great read if you're interested in the history of both the major and some of the minor players of the label + it also gives an interesting insight into the shady world of record label politics. As a whole it's for Metal nerds only tho' ...and reading of how Hellowe...

Re: SWORDS OF STEEL II - Fantasy/Horror/Metal Anthology

I very much enjoyed the first volume (especially the E.C. Hellwell story), so I'll be picking this up as soon as someone in 'Yurp' has it. Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I've been having trouble finding a European distributor this time around, but I'm sure it'll find its way over there eventually. ...
