hmm this 6 cd set is one of  best collections I've ever heard from beginning to

can someone enlighten me as to the genesis of the "beep boop,boop beep" that
features heavily in the unique 3 track and sweet exorcist & klf. after reading

was 'testone-four' the same?
anyhow no crap on warp 10+1+2+3......
