“on the effing money”
definately not an easy task, but this is just about a perfect selection. Never knew those 'Round' tracks even existed, has anyone else made electronic music half as good as this?

“New Day!”
Where is Round Two - New Day?! It might not be the dubbiest BC-produced track they've made, but it is certainly one of their best and most celebrated.

“Thanks for this!”
Back in the day, I always found both the minimalism and the 4/4 beats too much to handle. I still can't warm to the 4/4 stuff (although I like the Gas albums these days!), but I don't mind the dubby ones.
Still, minimalism is just so... minimal. Oh well.

“The beautiful hiss”
I'll never forget the first time I heard the contents of that white, funny-looking, cardboard-wrapped CD from Basic Channel. Completely life-altering in terms of musical significance, and proof that hiss, as an artefact, can be as beautilful as dust can be in the hands of a poet.
What a label.

“new music is still possible”
basic channel/r&s have created a new aesthetic in music. 'Carrier' and 'na fe throw it' are the deepest songs ever made. No other music reaches me like this.

“Follow-up?!!!”
Sounds cliché, Basic Channel changed my life. Absolutely incredible sound, don't stop here.

“Fantastic!”
You've outdone yourselves this time! Great selection of, and introduction to (for me), some of the best music I've heard in ages. Thanks!

“Covers?”
Great idea. Embedded covers (or a separate file) would be nice.
