That thing you could’ve sworn you existed, remembered existed and how it has now turned into a great wonder of a chase to acquire again after so long. What is that thing for you?

Mine is discovering what music was played during an old internet radio show I still listen to was. The episodes I’m listening to are 21 years old now and for years I wondered what specific tracks were played on that show that I so want copies of. In one of the episodes, the host mentions that the backing music is from Digitally Imported now known as DI.FM.

However, that doesn’t do me any good since newer music is played now on that platform and with no hint or source telling me what tracks were played on that show in show notes or even word of mouth, I’ve no hope in tracking them down. So for so long, I’ve had to listen to this show’s episodes almost religiously, just because of the music that was played.

And my only hope now is tinkering with audio tools so I can figure a way to rip out the parts where the hosts are talking so it is just the music, then go around online asking people who’re more expert on the genre than I am to tell me, then find them and download them.

    Okay so mine is so old i can’t really put a finger on where i got it from…It’s a piece of electronic music with a music video that included an Inuit fishing. It must have been from around '97 but could be anywhere in the nineties. In my recollection it was a single on cdrom from The Chemical Brothers. That never yielded any results for me. The second recollection was that it came from a cdrom that accompanied an exhibition on electronic art. Also never yielded any results for me. So, somewhere in my recollection is a couple of electronic notes and an Inuit in the music video. Ive given up searching for it, even though i tried many many times over the years.
