Status update...

First of all I'd like to thank all those whom have contributed to future hosting.  The generosity of others is wonderful and while I will stay with Mediafire for the short term (under the new account set up in the wake of the old account's deletion), permanent hosting is in the plan.  Many have stated that the biggest cost will be for data/throughput, not server space itself; this means that it's critical I come up with a plan regarding lossless FLAC availability to all who want it.  Not sure yet what that will entail (link by invite only? Trackerless torrent using DHT?  Self-hosting at terrible transfer speeds (and the certain notice/hit it will be with my ISP)?  Things to think about.  Regardless, posting will continue.

Second, while activity may have slowed on the posting front, I still have a large pile to plow through.  I've taken a slight break from New Order simply because it was approaching burnout again; I'll bury myself into a project so much, at such a frenzied burst of activity, that I have to step back lest I not want to hear a single note again.  It was getting to that stage.  Rest assured that in short order new posts will be forthcoming, just as splendid as the last ones.

Creative solutions invited to the data throughput conundrum.

  1. I'm sure, like me, people will be waiting with baited breath for the next instalment. But we WILL wait for you......

  2. i trust we would all be happy with one every other month. For me, when it comes to music and movies I've loved for 20-30 years I always have to enjoy in moderation.

    Thanks, as always.

  3. At your own speed, mate. After all this time, what is another few days/weeks/months? I would agree with others that quality is paramount but anything else is greedy. We await your efforts on our behalf.

  4. Thanks again for all the work you've done on these uploads - if I had these as tapes instead of digital, I'd have worn them out from listening to them so much.

  5. A little off-topic but something seems to be in the works with the current New Order line-up. Their official web site is now for sale; try going here:

    Are they folding up the tent for 2012?

    1. I think they forgot to pay the bill. They've let ather sites lapse before.
