Open-minded #music lover and something of a #vinyl collector (buy to play/enjoy, not invest)
Frequenter of #comedy shows
Drinker of #Beer that tastes like beer. I boycotted Bud Light before everyone else did, purely because sparkling water tastes better and is much cheaper.
#Linux user, almost exclusively since 2007. Currently running @EndeavourOS
Used to write long, psychedelic ambient music pieces, but haven't done any for a while. Free downloads on Bandcamp if you're curious.

I've had this for a few years, and the jury's still out on it. The discographies of both Huygen and Neuronium are not short of albums that easily draw you into their inner sonic sanctum, but this is something of an outlier. It's fairly short - only a fraction over half an hour - and it's quite unique in that it was on a major label (Jive Electro), not very "psychotronic" and Huygen provides semi-spoken vocals over half of it.
Currently spinning "A" by Jethro Tull. Not an LP that gets taken off the shelf regularly, especially considering the strong folk-prog trio that sits beside it, but still so much to enjoy. My copy came from a charity shop in Atherstone, and is a remaindered bargain bin copy from the US. It looks and sounds LUMPY. Don't know what they used to make it, but it certainly wasn't vinyl: bits of old Bic pens, discarded UPVC window frames...?
@crankyoldbugger Now there's a track I haven't listened to in *years*
[heads to Discogs to price up copies of the Risky Business soundtrack]
25 years ago, when I was getting heavily into #TangerineDream, I had copies of all the Pink Years stuff (because collector) yet very VERY rarely played them. Just didn't get on with them. Today, I play them more frequently than favourites like "Rubycon". I suppose, given how much my life has changed since, I can appreciate music that allows me to just zone out and languish in near-complete nothingness for 45 minutes.
