sure yeah, just pick a track from the "earliest recordings" folder….but lemme know which one it is before releasing this - i get veto power!

Annoyingly, my stuff's on DAT and my DAT player seems to have died :( I've got cassette tapes from back in the day but they're all at my parents' house… I'll see what I can do.

Cheers guys. James, I've got both the Purge DVDs so if you want me to take anything from that just let me know.
Currently deciding on the single best and worst tracks from my archives to add to the pile…

Let's see now… Sunday 11th Jan 2004 is the date of the first mp3 here. Sounds like I loaded up the first thing I could find into a freshly installed, erm, "copy" of Cool Edit Pro, and pushed all the nice buttons.
I'm also sure I used to have something done on the Amiga with this: http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/perfectsound
I know I had two samples from NYNEX Cable (one from QVC and one from The Box). Unfortunately, a recent raid through a big box of 880Kb disks failed to turn them up, but I'll keep looking.
Links have been sent.

I could only dig back to 2000. I had few more years of earlier junk but it all got lost back then to a hard drive crash. Probably for the best really. Email with MP3 link sent!

I got some 1998 tracks from purge I could throw on this.

Hmm… I've got a track I made in 1983 when I was 14. Unfortunately I only had my mum's stereo to work with. It was possible to play a cassette and a LP simultaneously and record the "mix" on second cassette player. I repeatedly dubbed approximately a bar of "Rock 'n' Roll" by Gary Glitter on to a tape as the drumbeat, took the belt out of the turntable and played a DNA record over the top at about 5 rpm. Obviously, it sounds fucking awful.

I sneaked some of my early stuff on to Bunghong releases, but I know of a few other experiments from 20 years ago i can dig out for this.

I've got some tracks I made on Protracker on my Amiga back in 1993, I'll be interested to see if anyone is going to dig out anything earlier or more primitive :)

Obviously I'm down for this. I reckon 1) there's some gold to be mined from naive experimentation, 2) it'll be a cathartic process, and 3) it just seems like a pretty DV type of compilation.

So I was digging through my archives today, when I came across a collection of tracks consisting entirely of sample-pack arrangements assembled in Sonic Foundry Acid Express (those were the days…), "written" when I was 15 years of age, during time spent off sick. It's godawful, but I was thinking of releasing this collection on here as a kind of artefact of my dubious musical history. Then iivix said on Facebook that if we all went through our archives and pulled out our earliest recordings it might make for an interesting compilation. And he's right.
So your mission is to trawl your hard drives, CD-Rs and floppy discs for the earliest examples of music you've ever recorded. Not "the earliest stuff under your current name," but the absolute earliest stuff. Mine was all recorded directly to 192kbps MP3, and I'm sure the rest of you probably had similar disregard for audio fidelity back then, so there's no bitrate or format issues for this one. Put it here, send links to lee.ashcroft at hotmail.co.uk, whatever. When there's enough I'll unleash them. Oh, and if you remember, include the creation date with it too.

A 52 minute mix I recorded in July 2010 for An Braon Blasta (The Tasty Drop), a radio show hosted by Jonny Dillon (Automatic Tasty) on the Irish language station Raidió na Life (106.4 FM, Greater Dublin area), Sundays from 9pm to 11.30pm.

Ah no, that's terrible. Only 58 too, it's a damned shame. Fair play to him.

Just found out that Robert Sandall, rock journalist and former host of Mixing It on Radio 3, who gave Digital Vomit it's first exposure on the BBC back in January 2007, passed away last month. He was 58.

Seriously guys, this stuff's ripe for remixing. Give it a try…

I thought they were dead…. I was wrong! Found a company that still makes piano rolls.
