SACS? Maer like, ballsacs!

Lol, I called it that specifically in the hope someone would make that joke (and once again you were my prime suspect) :-))

@threespires

What's your point? Just looks like a reasonably sensible 'how to' video to me, bit like that midi controller one I forwarded to Rob to get him started.

(Never wanted the job anyway)

As expected, People on Sunday by Domenique Dumont scored a low average: 12 votes @ 5.08 which was mainly made up of scores between 4 and 6. It's a score that finds the album sandwiched between The Chemical Brothers and Michael Stearns in the ever increasing league table. Thanks to @GoatersLeftShin for another interesting ambient nomination.

This week, it's the turn of @BimboBob to provide us with a week of listening pleasure.

Apologies folks for not getting my vote in on time. Was in work and thought I would get time but as can happen the day just got away from me with important matters so didn't get to do my write up.
As mentioned when it appeared I wasn't really aware of DD but was pleasantly surprised when I began listening. I suppose that goes without saying when I nominated Aphex Twin at the start of the year.
Have to say I loved this album, some of it seemed a bit stripped back but hypnotic, simple and soothing.
As @RobMCFC said it did often merge into one. I did watch it along with the original film and di enjoy that experience but also listened in the car. I actually found the nature of it calmed my driving and I got excellent fuel consumption when listening, tootling along on my commute at 56!
I also listened to a bit of Miniatures de auto rhythm which I though was a bit more involved and up tempo than much of this selection.
Really enjoyed and will be getting more play time from me....it's a belated 8 from the Derry jury.

Now back to work and listening to ABC

I will do that — the categories are awesome, okay and shite.

I took your FUQAS model (Foggy's Uncalibrated Quality Assurance System) and adapted it (I assume it's creative commons - apologies if not) and this is what I got..

Well, as the categories are Mega Awesome, Awesone, Okay and Shite, and Foggy undoubtedly owns the IP, does this make him Chairman MAOS?

Pretty sure, should there be a nomination ,Foggy will have a special category called something like 'Dante's 8th Circle'
