Barry C (aka Legacy Systems)
@legacysystems.bsky.social
I make electronic music at https://legacysystems.bandcamp.com
Mainly Drone, Ambient, Soundscape and experimental

I also like tea, running, walking, cycling, photography and software dev.
I live in Warwickshire UK, but don't let that put you off
That reminds me of this one

The postie has just delivered me a box of tapes.

My new album - Dronescapes vol 2: Ancient Dreams

I also decided to give my earlier digital-only album - Dronescapes vol 1: The Larsen Effect a physical presence too.

Just giving them a play-test now, but very excited about this.

Because the mice in the loft really do need to be told who is the boss in this building 😂

and because I am stuck with that ear-worm, why not carry on with the Dire Straits theme, and 'possibly' one of the finest A-sides ever to appear on vinyl...

My ear-worm this morning was "Once Upon a Time in the West", and then I discovered that it's Mark Knopflers birthday...

So happy birthday...

This morning I have been listening to the wonderful new release from @worriedaboutsatan.bsky.social

A splendid way to start the day 👍

And now I am listening to this. The startlingly brilliant Outcrops, by @spaceshipmark.bsky.social

Morning all.

I thought I would start off the day with something a little different...

Absolutely gorgeous presentation and packaging from @dustopianfreqs.bsky.social
Shrouded triple-cassette bundle and a bonus CD and lovely message.

The care and attention to detail shows a real love of the craft, and makes every release a wonderful occasion.

Some mornings I wake up with an earworm. Usually this dissipates over breakfast and the day can carry on as normal.
However this morning's earworm just would not go away...

So here it is, in all its splendour. Side 1, track 1...

Was searching for a tape earlier and came across this gem from 1983.
As far as I am concerned, they are both classic earworms

And since I am stuck in 1989, this is the other record I bought at the same time as the 24-7 Spyz album.
Kings-X - one of those 'under the radar' bands that seems to have a devout following for live performances (and they are very excellent live), but never hit the mainstream.

Just heard the news that Peter Forrest (aka P. Fluid) the vocalist from 24-7 Spyz is dead.
I remember buying this from my local record store and the mate I was with at the time looked at me as if I were crazy!
Certainly not in keeping with the other records I was also buying.

Can I offer up 2 potential candidates?
December 24, 2024 at 12:14 PM
time to lighten it up a little. Jazz hands anyone?

Sugar - Beaster.
Enough said.

I was looking for something "christmasy" to play, but realised I don't have anything even remotely festive...

So instead, I'll open this morning with Source Tags And Codes from the irrepressible And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead.

It seems a shame to have lost so much of my morning to work calls...Anyway, in an attempt to recover the situation, I have cast back to my very first music purchase of 2024...
The most excellent "The Future Remains Unwritten" by @exitchamber.bsky.social

I have to play this sparingly. Too often and I lose the enjoyment factor of hearing it, such is the joy I get when I do play it.

It's just possible that this afternoon's productivity my go out the window.

My afternoon kicks off with this classic from Front242

Time to crank up the volume.

Well now... Having played PWEI that has put me in a good mood, so here's another fantastic blast from the past 😀
