I made a little black box over the Bank Holiday break. I’ve had a Pioneer PD-Z83M multi-changer CD player since I was a kid, and it was how I listened to a lot of the music of my formative years. I remember listening to Fields of the Nephilim’s sprawling masterpiece Elizium on it at university, […]
