"It is informally called "Hundred For The Holiday", a bit of a parody of John Peel's Festive Fifty (anybody remember that ?) except there is no voting we've just picked a hundred good tracks from 2018 that
represent the genre ranging from Prog Metal (with growls) to pretty pastoral stuff ... The programme is long (15 and a quarter hours), but so what, we're chilling for the holidays, I hope you can keeping dipping in and out when you've got time with the festivities."

the S.A. website is back online and is now residing on it's own dedicated server
!! With a huge increase in both processing power and storage capacity, many of
the core server-side applications are running on the very latest versions. Also,
whilst the website was offline, I took the opportunity to service the source,
SAM server and fully upgrade and configure the
SAM software to the very latest version - 4.3.6
!! The forum is currently being uploaded and configured to the very latest
YaBB version - with all memberships and posts remaining intact !! I hope

Whilst I was away from S.A. Headquarters, due to
numerous technical issues the stream(s) fell offline. Although there are several
automatic recovery solutions in place in the event of problems occurring whilst

encounter when attempting to view the S.A. website - these will hopefully be

you'll find some music you've never heard before or even thought of hearing
