It has been funny to notice, that concept of "too much" doesn't seem to apply Ramirez! When Antihumanism started to release this magnitude of Ramirez projects CD's, I first felt is it too many? Combined with New Forces Ramirez boxes, Input Error CD box and single album releases and re-releases here and there.
 
Now in recent days I have listened a lot of these albums and as opposite of thinking it would be too much, rather thinking that how all these obscure side projects stand strong next to classics. Plus there is this "unfinished" rough quality in his work. Of course I do like albums that are well thought, carefully selected pieces, flows like album.. but there is some beauty in utmost rawness on CD.

Some of these Ramirez CD's where every track abruptly just ends all the sudden, almost like sketch, that waits to be finalized, or edited. It is just published as chunk of noise that ends all the sudden like pushing pause and then you get next chunk. Plus not everything is like pure gold, but then allowing something less exiting be there, the grey monotone noise crunch for a while and next one feels extra great.

So indeed, now that Old Europa Cafe package arrived in mail, I wonder how come I didn't take more copies of BLJ new CD than just couple? Assuming there is saturation and people would have too much BLJ? Maybe that was idea, but now feels I need to restock copies before I even sold any.

Recently he told me that most albums are always a bit longer then those old tapes as it was many c60 tapes used so all these cd's of his old stuff is always a bit longer but doesn't mean they will end in normal way like there is fading in end or so hehe..

Many of those old albums sound just so obscure, their production man i just love it.
Yeah, there is more coming. Perhaps a bit slower as there is also some other things to be done.
