So yeah, watching Never Mind The Buzzcocks just now something really struck me about our good old quake developers. iD in the early to mid 90's did for video games what The Beatles did for pop music. Both started off by creating polished, beloved works in the style of their chosen field. They then created innovative defining pieces which are the template for works produced today. In doing so they both pushed the technology of the day to new heights (even if what they did is simple to replicate now). Then each group split apart, and the solo works seemed to lack something... 

I don't usually dig black metal, but that it really quite cool. But you are right - the start is very very heavy. 

.. though ;) 

BLACK metal?? BLACK?? Are you mad?? That is proper modern death metal. Black indeed. N0000b!!!

You know what I mean. Metalophile!!!!

is quite nice. the other one's a bit on the simple side for my taste, though. 

After a very dry period where the only DNB cds available were mundane cheese, there have been 3 interesting releases at the harder end of things:

Current Value & Donny - Revolt & Riot
http://www.juno.co.uk/products/revolt-riot/434220-01/
Brutal stuff by two artists at the cutting edge of harder dnb. Quite varied with a good mix of dnb rollers and mashed up techy stuff.

Eye-D & DJ Hidden - Peer-2-Peer Pressure
http://www.juno.co.uk/products/peer-to-peer-pressure/435902-01/
A current highlight from the guys who make up the well-established gabber act The Outside Agency. Having an "outside the scene" influence works well here with hard-hitting but fresh-sounding tracks that mix trancey melodies and effects with diverse punchy beats. Recommended.

Dom & Roland - The Big Bang
http://www.juno.co.uk/products/the-big-bang/435290-01/
Another totally consistent CD from the duo who steadfastly refuse to sell out. Perhaps a bit too consistent as it lacks the variety of Through The Looking Glass, but still makes up for it in quality techstep sounds. 

is nice 

Dom & Roland is not a duo, man ;-) 

LOL, pwnd :P

a groove I made (needs macro changes over time now it just repeats):

(t&(t>>t|t>>6)|t)+(t&t^t>>6)-t * ((t>>9)&(t%16?2:6)&t>>9) 

(t&(t>>t|t>>6)|t)+
(t&t^t>>6)-t
*((t>>9)&(t%16?2:6)
&t>>9) 

first term is meaninglessly complex.

t+(t&t^t>>6)-t
* ((t>>9)&(t%16?2:6)
&t>>9)

does the same thing 

t+(t^t>>6)-t *
((t%16?2:6)&t>>9) 

I started learning C++ for real, but i dont understand how that can make a noise at all.
I havent done >> (except for cin), ^, %, & or ? yet.

And loop outputs one byte as PCM-audio at the sample rate. 

and nice work bear 

t>>6^t&0x25|t+
(t^t>>11)
-t*((t%24?2:6)&t>>11)
^t<<1
&(t&0x256?t>>4
:t>>10) 

I currently listen to this 5 hour Massive Attack mix and it is so nice:

Tracklist: http://forums.di.fm/2569484-post8.html 

Does this mix do much to the originals? Looks like all their albums, with filler removed and a random order. 

No idea, I only know Mezzanine and the vs Mad Professor albums.
