Most of the stuff I've done so far is available @
https://archive.org/search.php?query=creator%3A%22Salakapakka+Sound+System%22
Nearly all is available as uncompressed WAV. Archive.org is quite good once you get over the confusing upload system (well, it used to be confusing but I think it is now bit more user friendly).

One thing i have noticed about Soundcloud is the 'follow' rule, seems to be if your 'popular' or 'cool' you dont bother listening to or following people back.

Sigh......maybe one day i shall be cool enough to do that. :(

It may be simply also lack of time. I guess most people are bombarded with requests to "be friends" or "follow" or "like" in all sorts of social media, and once someone is "popular", I assume it gets even bigger amount? I wonder how could someone be "facebook friends" or follow hundreds or thousands of people? Open the internet and there's hundreds of new messages, requests, likes, etc. and just few minutes of time to go through. I don't take much part in things like soundcloud, but lets say facebook. I can't say how many friend requests keep coming, but I haven't had time to start checking who's who etc. Even now if I open facebook, I got way more of announcements and all sorts of status updates than I have time to read. And everyday more what should "follow"? It's not personal offense. Merely that there is life outside internet as well and endless amount of records to listen already without following back everybody online.

I understand some people are very busy, though i think there is a bit of a "i am SERIOUS artist who must be seen to be aloof".

Im not too bothered myself, i just find it amusing

Guess I'm coming out of the closet now, so to speak. First stuff out there for public disgrace since... 2005 I think. This short piece is from 2008, made with whatever I could find at home (pieces of metal, water, whatever...) during a long period of unemployment, poverty and boredom. No effects or electronics, except for a bunch of microphones.

Not proud of it, but I think it has something at least. Hopefully I'll do better this time around.

These how many likes, and how many follow things are not worth so much, near to zero. Especially on Facebook, which totally limits the visits, when a fanpage getting too close to 800-1000 likes. It's only good, to not make it that so fucking boring, but that's all, maybe... Because they want your money, to 'advert' it... they don't want free pages, where you can share to bigger masses, whatever you want. At least soundcloud isn't limits this, people who follow you, will see the new tracks, and stuff. But as a I say, all of these things are kinda worthless. Nowadays internet only generation (technically, I am a part of it because of my age, but I dislike that fact for some reasons) what doing? See a 10 minutes long track... listen it the first 10-20 seconds only, then decide the thing that is's good, or shit... heh, listen full albums? Sets? Look after the project? Near never. Damn, even a free, good quality download is sometimes too luxury for the people, who new to something. Stream only, youtube, soundcloud, whatever, they don't want to store files... but it's goes for near all the genres, not just underground ones, like Harsh Noise / Power Electronics / Industrial / etc:. ... Even If I make, and buy purchasable high-quality downloads, I more enjoy giving a physical copy to someone - even for a stranger, don't care if it's risky as fuck - it's much better feeling, and a higher experience for the listener, even if he don't like what he get. Sometimes I feel myself a little bit envious for the previous noise generation because of this, at least it was a more dedicated, more personal experience thing. Nowadays this is getting more a forgotten thing. Tape? Vinyl? C'mon, young 'internet generation' people never touches even a CD... So, in one sentence: Likes/followers, and stuff like this don't give so much, maybe you can see a 'level' of a popularity of a project, but not the dedication of the people, who gave the likes/follows...
