Bark Psychosis: C or D

Virgin Ambient was on a roll there, for a while.

Yes, great compilation but with a slightly different perspective. Have in my head that Simon Hopkins was behind some awesome compilations.

Yes, and Kodwo Eshun did the amazing Routes From The Jungle comp which I believe was part of the Ambient series.

think Kevin Martin did the Monsters one. David Toop was behind lots of the others

oh no you're quite right, was Hopkins my apologies!

Tangentally related, I'd check out the two Southeast Of Saturn comps too.

Yes! Will stan for Majesty Crush all the livelong day.

Random Monday night thought: did "In The Light of Time" get much coverage and/or prompt any interesting writing/interviews?

Nothing seen on any of the stops that I frequented since it was released. Maybe it's not yet the right moment for a UK post-rock / lost generation resurgence? Despite the stupidly accelerated culture in the West, some music just needs time to get properly lost before it can be rediscovered.

Just checked and yeah, it's been less than 15 years since Biggie Samuels did those excellent "Post-Rocktoberfest" compilations on his Bubblegumcage blog.

somewhat tangential but … the distance between the quality of the music and quality of album title with “code name: dustsucker” remains astonishing

30th anniversary of Hex, apparently.

Hell of an album still.

Absolutely.

A massive album. And Dustsucker will turn 20 in July of this year. Still holding on for one more BP album but yeah, so much time has passed

The Boymerang album turned 25 a couple years back, with little to no fanfare.
