What are your thoughts on the Record Box subscription model?

I managed to find some time over Christmas to record a FSOE Clandestine mix. You can listen here:

What program are you using to rip the CD with Gregsta?

I've listened to this set countless times in the last 20 years - live, on tape, a rubbish Soulseek rip and this one too - and to echo Fuzzy's comments above, it has to be one of my favorite Jules' recordings. The energy and atmosphere crammed into this set are superb as is the tune selection. The mix between Patrick F and Joshua Ryan remains outstanding and a superb example to anyone why key mixing is an important skill. It's also apparent just how good the Angelic releases were as commercial recordings; just enough commercially acceptable elements to attract wide interest with e

Just listened to this again as I am really enjoying Jules sound from 1997 at present. The original recording is an MP3 rip of a CD of Jules' first show Tim posted to me while I was at university. I noticed back in 2015 that it wasn't in the archive so I uploaded it to your FTP along with a load of other audio. The rip I made was a direct from CD with no edits, so what you got was exactly what was sent to me. Didn't know that Tim had lost this otherwise I would have uploaded it much earlier.

Another great recording of Jules. Lots of cross over here with his first Radio 1 show which was broadcast just one week later.

After listening to this several times over the last week, I really rate this as a top quality Jules recording. Firstly, it's longer than two hours, which was the de facto default because of club booking schedules and radio programming. Secondly, it's got a seductive blend of proto-trance, house, tech and hard house which Jules would become renowned for in later years.

Any other recorded examples of Jules on the trumpet?

Or better yet, upped his game with the classics.

Not at all mate; I should have been clearer about what I was trying to communicate in the first post. I'll keep an eye out and highlight anything that may be missing from the archive.

This was part of of a back to back with John Digweed, who's set is pretty good too. Tracklist for the second half if anyone is interested. Should be quite easy to find online, noting that just the Jules half is in the archive. John Digweed 01. Ocean Wave - Velvet 02. Dolls Head - It's Over, It's Under (Brothers In Rhythm Club Mix) 03. Slacker - Psychout 04. Sasha - Rabbitweed 05. Paul van Dyk - Avenue 06. Amoeba Assassin - Rollercoaster (Oakeys Courtyard Mix) 07. Pablo Gargano - Farringdon 08. Mirage - Syrus 09. Return Of The Native - The Lost Tale

Absolutely understand the drive for audio quality, however I would also suggest that a low quality recording is better than no recording. To be clear, I wasn't suggesting having a YouTube channel for the archive to upload to, but instead having section of this site (like gallery, tracklisting archive, audio archive, etc) where you could embed those videos from others YT accounts. The suggestion of ripping YouTube videos to upload here was to mitigate the risk of loss on any platform and ensure these recordings are held for posterity. I sknow I mentioned the GC@NEC vide

Any idea what the last track, #18, is?

Tracklist correction: 21. Nick Sentience - 'Musical Rush' [Nukleuz] I am surprised I didn't pick this up at the time or during my last listen as I was, and still am, a fan of the Nukleuz Purple sound. Jules announces it as Purple Twilight which is in fact the A side to Musical Rush (Discogs).

I remember being gutted I couldn't attend this night, as usual due to work commitments. This is an iconic Bond tune for me and one which is criminally under rated. Tension, release, emotion in the melody; great stuff. Thanks for sharing this.
