Great recall @hamicle - Was a whole different era of VMP that. I liked the interaction with Severen, but he didn’t last much longer IIRC. He was good at forum communication and ROTM hints.

I popped into VMP & eventually the Forum at a great time although the second pick (Nada Surf) was a struggle for me - Sold that to a forum member IIRC, pre Pay it forward days of course :). Those days guess threads were fun - I was largely clueless although called Demon days...

Was reading an article recently after spotting the Apple Docu re : Jim still being alive, now I don't go for conspiracy theories at all.... But this one had me wondering. Might watch that one...

Sad news, I watched and commented with a touch of bitterness and Voyeurism in recent times, but hearing of job losses is tough regardless of their mistakes. Plus the early days were damn good fun, seem a long time since they got it right tho. For me the golden years started in 2015 with Black...

Understood, if I make myself a little clearer, They should not have let that be a possibility, almost all these subscribers would have been guaranteed these records before. Now they are saying, look at the new VMP isnt it better for you. When we all are very clear it’s really not. And now oh...

I struggle to understand how your swap for credit can’t get you one of their latest releases - These picks appear to be standard essentials / Classics etc They should fix that ASAP it will add another layer of shit

I was reasonably optimistic for them in the past when dark clouds descended, even during the pressing plant fiasco. But I don’t give them till Easter now. They dont have much of a product left and simply had to keep sending a monthly fixed album to subscribers. Not having enough to do that...

I think everything they release gets released elsewhere eventually, lately pretty much they are getting a variant release of some larger drop. I thought the FJM recent release might buck trend and be a planned press of their ROTM but no that was part of a larger remaster. TBH that’s so old it...

Excellent, wondered if that had arrived but waited patiently for update. Hope you like Harper, went for an Album you likely wouldn’t know but one I love. Enjoy.

I forgot I had Wells Fargo. Think I will go on Discogs and check just what I have from VMP. My mate also appreciates them, he must have a dozen records from them, he has never subscribed, just got a generous friend haha.

Uk Have them too

I missed this - But god Its so good. On my faves list and xmas playlist for 2025 !!!

That fits in with my perception of the artist, appeared gentle and appreciative of his audience. And FYI BBC Concert Orchestra Ryder-Jones will perform with the BBC Concert Orchestra on BBC Radio 3's Unclassified Live on January 23, 2025

Well you learn a little something every day. I saw Bill Ryder-Jones support Beth Gibbons earlier in the year, and the name popped out here, so I googled him, I actually did a quick Spotify look at the time. Turns out he is also of The Coral who I always thought were far better than their...

Gave this a NYE. spin. What a banger !! Thx again @Poly-Rythmo , excellent choice. That last track…wow.
