Meow - Simple, made made me laugh.

Image
Xstreme - Nice fluid movement feeling in this, especially curious on the setup and what's being played.

Image
Nutty - Can't quite narrow down why I like this but it just seems to have good presence.

Image
Nyarla - my favourite of the bunch, really nice and moody.

Image
Muttley - I'm a bit of a sucker for this sort of thing and I like the slightly chaotic result.

Okay, a first shot, more of a placeholder really.

It's an oddity, a vertically recorded Pathé disc. It plays from the centre out, at somewhere between 90 and 100 rpm, and unlike its counterparts from pretty much every other company, doesn't use a needle, but some form of diaphragm affair.

Here we go

It's what happens if you mix up a thick mixture of custard powder and water, then pour it onto a speaker and feed the speaker a rather loud 60Hz tone.
