Various Artists: Monsters, Robots & Bugmen

Various - Monsters, Robots and Bugmen

Virgin Ambient 1996.  AMBT11

Discogs

Another compilation in Virgin’s superb ambient series, this one dealing with the new, at least back then, genre of post rock.  As is always the case with this series, they do a good job, although it can be a jarring listening experience because of the diversity of post rock.  In fact the sleevenotes give different possible running orders which you could use depending on your mood.  Did anyone bother?

Unusually there are no exclusives here, although most of the tracks are now unavailable 17 years after the event.  I’m surprised that I’ve posted none of the artists here before – many of them will appear later.

Highlights for me are Flying Saucer Attack, Ui, Stereolab, Labradford and Third Eye Foundation.

  1. thank you very much for this. Really great compilation…

  2. […] has appeared on here before on the Monsters, Robots and Bugmen compilation, which is highly recommended if you like this […]

  3. Is it possible for you to delete all my comments from this page, I wonder. Sorry for inconvenience, but the visual part of your link is certainly wrong.

  4. Everything deleted apart from this one. The link is fine – I’ve just tested it.

    I think what you’re doing is typing the whole thing manually. If you just click on the link and when you get the webpage not available screen, replace the stars with the host name it works fine. All I do is copy and paste the link from the filehost, so there’s no way I can get these wrong.

    Have you tried any of the mega links? They don’t work for me (Mega never does) and my account doesn’t tell me whether they’ve been downloaded or not. If you’ve tried, I’d be grateful if you could let me know how you get on. Thanks.

  5. Your link consists of 2 parts
    Visible: o3QsvZ–
    and Invisible: o3QsvZ–
    You should see the difference at last.
    you Correct and I will continue.

  6. OH MAN IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT
    AND NOT MINE TOO.
    IT’S THE FAULT OF YOUR BLOG’S SOFTWARE.

    see what I’ve sent
    Visible: o3QsvZ–
    and Invisible: o3QsvZ–

    in Invisible there are two hyphens after letter Z
    while in Visible there is one

    but in both comments after letter Z only 1 hyphen
    Why? I don’t know!

    I HAVE SENT YOU THIS:

    Visible: “o”3″Q”s”v”Z”HYPHEN”
    and Invisible: o”3″Q”s”v”Z”HYPHEN””HYPHEN”

  7. What about my link to MEGA.RAR (with 2 REGISTRY FILES)?
    Did you receive it?
    Or should I post it again?

  8. Yes, but I have no idea what it is.

    1. NOW I TELL YOU WHAT IT IS.
      UNPACK MEGA.RAR
      CLICK EACH FILE
      DON’T BE AFRAID TO USE IT
      IT IS SAFE (NOTHING ELSE WILL DIFFER EXCEPT THE FACT THAT MEGA WILL START TO WORK AS IT SHOULD).
      POP-UP WINDOW WILL APPEAR (YES/NO)
      YOU SHOULD ACCEPT (CLICK YES)
      THEN GO AND DOWNLOAD FROM MEGA USING FIREFOX.

      1. OK, thanks. I’ll give it a try.
