After a large amount of HDD fuck ups, I've just found out I've lost my collection of Alan Moore albums. Anyone got any links? I've been able to locate The Birth Caul and Brought to Light again, but that's all. Specifically I'm looking for Snakes and Ladders, but I can't find it anywhere.
It just reminded me that Alan Moore was doing a reading from one of his new works in the central library of the town I (and him) live in tonight and I couldn't go.

Coincidentally or maybe synchronistically depending on your chosen reality schema I just finished Voice of the Fire a couple of hours ago. Must say I thoroughly enjoyed it, even the first chapter with the mentally deficient stone age lad blabbering on in decidedly odd syntax.
Wondered if any of you lads have read it and what you think?
Definitely left me wanting to devour some more Moore, got the first few issues of Promethea on my HD so might have a crack at that. Also looking forward to Jerusalem whenever that gets finished. Will download those albums as well OP, cheers for them.
Also could we maybe turn this into a bit of an Alan Moore general thread? /com/ really doesn't get as much traffic as it deserves.
Shit just realized those first two are megaupload links, don't suppose any kind ladm8 fancies sticking them up somewhere else if you have them?
Balls, also the mediafire ones are dud so any of this stuff would be amazing.
Promethea is amazing for a huge number of reasons. The only criticism of it I agree with is the overly long explanation of the tarot. That section came across as more of a reference work than anything and just wasn't much fun to read.
Still, if you haven't even started yet you've got a fair while before you run in to that.
I can re-up the whole discography in one go if you can give me somewhere other than mediafire to host it, they don't like copyrighted files much. I'll give VotF a read when I get home too.
Ah cool, will try and make a start on it later.
As for VotF I'd just say to persevere through the first chapter, seen a lot of people say they didn't enjoy it but I quite like weird phonetic or generally messed up writing that you have to decode a bit. I also enjoyed the phonetic stuff in Bank's Feersum Endjinn and Will Self's Book of Dave, I find it fun having to kind of figure it out.
But yeah, it can be a little bit hard going but I really enjoyed it and the story in that chapter is brilliant. The rest is just typical Moore awesomeness.
As for somewhere to upload the discog I'm not actually to sure to be honest, after megaupload got clobbered it seems like most other of those sites have got the heebie jeebies up them, which I guess was the desired outcome for US law enforcement.
Will have a poke about later and see if I can find something suitable, unless any other ladm8s have any bright ideas and fancy chipping in?
>>3315 The great Mr Moore recently did a reading from the central library of my (and his) home town. Would have gone if I could have spared the £4 entry. Seen him down at pubs a few times, always been tempted to say hello, but never done it.
