Rude Solo / Christian Morgenstern - Dark Eldar

This has to rank as one of the more unusual Weatherall records. Get this - him & Keith Tenniswood record two tracks for half a split 12" (so far, so good), but THIS 12" forms part of a twelve-part vinyl series, each with its own a unique theme for a different type of species - a musical interpretation of a fantastic world (their words, not mine) from the "Warhammer 40,000" universe. WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Now, I realise that some folk might think I'm a bit of a sad cunt for spending over an hour a day uploading techno records from 15 years ago to an internet blog seen by a few hundred people, every comment made giving a wee buzz to the heart, but COME ON. These 'Dungeons & Dragons' types take saddo culture to a whole new level...

... or am I missing something here?

Oh, the record? Two Lone Swordsmen in 'breaks' mode on the A-side, Christian Morgenstern does a techno-y track followed by a fairly low-key electronica affair. Fuck - just found out he died in 2003, aged 27.

Right-ho, will go and dig out something uplifting for post #2...

Heh, this sounds good. Possibly. Never had Lord Sabre down as a role play gamer...

Don't ever stop the good work you're doing! Great rips are bringing back special memories.

Is/was Christian Morgenstern related to Barbara Morgenstern, the German IDM/techno figure? In any event, while I have no doubt that others reckon 15 year old techno to be utter bollocks, many of the tracks you post have provided me with some of the more pivotal experiences in my life. Superb tracks, superb taste- many thanks.
