Mr Hepworth has quite rightly pointed out the robotic - and quite frankly psychotic - nature of digital radio stations which believe they don't really need to man the studios through the night - or actually at all.
So here's an account - from the station manager no less - of how that policy went (oh so very) wrong for the ironically named Chill FM, which in fact left its fans totally and utterly stressed out - and desperately in need of some, er, chill out music...

I've just got home with my newly-purchased New Order album Tecnique, remastered and repackaged with sleeve notes (not very enlightening) by Ian Harrison, brother of Andrew of this parish.

Now, I'm only 43, but I still can't quite tell if the actual album sounds better or not than the original version or not. Quite frankly I'm not sure that it does. Perhaps if I had an even more expensive sound system or iPod it might do?

Anyway, CD1 is debatable. But CD2 there's the unmistaken sound of snap, crackle and pop! Yes, CD2 appears to have been remastered solely by sticking on a bit of rare New Order vinyl and then twiddling some knobs to get it into an mp3 format!

Vinyl remastering. Quite frankly, quite literally, anyone of us could do it. So I'm feeling pretty damn cheated. Discuss. Thx.
