I just clicked on the link. It looks like they are in the process of switching servers and updating their site. I'm hope it'll be back up soon.

Hi Guys

I'm still around. My host's Server crashed last Friday and they've spent the last week trying to fix it. I was hoping it would be ready for today's update but unfortunately not.

Hopefully, it won't be too long before I'm back up again. Until then, I'll still be on SoulSeek.

Looks like Torchamatic is back up and running as of June 2nd with a new Forum Company. You will all have to re-join as I did but he has 5 fresh MFV mp3's to download, new stuff to talk about and will no doubt resurrect the lost posts.

Thank You Torchomatic,
still online, still fantastic, although I don't know all the tracks you show. 90 % are great, some of the old 80s stuff is not so good, but you choose very well !!!

What AJWAVE said. Torchomatic was one of the best obscure 80s music sites EVER!!!

Simon (that was the name of the guy who ran it, right?) was very knowledgeable about obscure, mostly UK 80s music. And when he did run across a band he didn't know that much about he'd admit it and ask if any of his visitors could contribute.

This is just sad. Makes me angry & frustrated too. :tears: What a great site. Perfect for the very obscure 80's music lovers like myself. What did that site ever do to the greedy know-nothing know-it-all bastards RIAA.
