I like trading CD-Rs with high resolution cover artwork and buying / trading vinyl too. Sorry, absolutely no MP3s. Otherwise, I'm open to any swapping suggestions. My primary interests are obscure psychedelic and progressive rock, late 70s DIY albums, avant-garde / experimental forms of rock, quirky pop, jazz and electronic of the non-mainstream kind, and generally everything that goes off the beaten track. It's probably going to take long until I transfer my collection to RYM, so in the meanwhile feel free to check out my rating page on the Gnosis website.

Since I keep getting e-mails from people asking me to share some stuff from my collection, let me state it again: I don't share anything. I'm not a charity office.

That said, it is definitely possible to obtain virtually anything from my collection. Simply go and find something from my wishlist (which is pretty extensive so it might be easy to pick a couple of albums), and I'll gladly return the favor. Just keep in mind that I prefer the originals, or the first generation tape / CD-R copies with full artwork.

Besides collecting obscure music, I'm also playing obscure music! But while stuff that I'm amassing over here on vinyl and other formats is probably destined to remain unknown for evermore, my band Uphill Work still hopes to rise to stardom one of these fine days! So go check us out on MySpace or SoundCloud and let me know what you think! Certainly you can rate or review our albums on RYM too. Happy listening!
