I was just pondering about which formats suit which kind of releases better. By formats I mean vinyl, CD, cassette and file. And by kind of releases I mean albums, EPs, singles and promos. So for example, I own alot of albums on CD, and some EPs and Singles on vinyl. I've never owned and LP, but I've had a listen to a Prefuse73 LP and it struck me as a very differet experience not being able to skip tracks and having to figure out which side was which and so forth. Furthermore, CD singles feel like a waste to me to have an 80 minute disc filed with one or so tracks. Vinyl, comparitively, can be cut to different sizes, different playing speeds and even be singl…

Yeah... since I've been to an amazing set from Villalobos at Berghain, I cannot forget his unique style of weird Minimal Techno. Quite slow stuff, very long tracks and much much developing. Sometimes there even was a breakbeat or IDM-like feeling to his stuff. Been checking all his recent releases and I love his stuff (Sei Es Drum, Vasco, What's wrong with my friends?). Another guy going in a similiar direction is Oni Ayhun (OAR 001, 003 & 004 are great). Do you know how to call this style of music? Do you like it? Do you have similiar artists or releases to recommend? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf-Zg6hB-UE

i think 10" releases are one of the coolest forms of vinyl, better fidelity than 7" (i'm assuming), larger artwork and just the collectability attracts me to these releases. looking forward to the new Seefeel for sure. what ya got? Mira Calix - Pin Skeeling 2x10" Radiohead - Kid A & Amnesiac 2x10" Mark Pritchard - ? 10" Leila - Mettle 10" Warp20 Box Set Jack Dangers - Tape Music 10" nine inch nails - March of the Pigs 9" (eh pretty close) Seefeel - Faults 10" (pre-ordered)

INTERRUPTIONS #1. Pastoral V.2. By Jon Leidecker (An overview on the relationship between birdsong+avant-garde) "Pastoral V.2" is a curated overview hoping to underline the history of those classic works of electronic and concrète music which sought to mimic and extend the voices and sounds of our pastoral landscape, which can be closer to the heart of the medium's inherent potential than the more common identifications with inhuman or alienated expressions of industrial culture.

Has anyone heard of the label "Sound of Barclay"? Jackson and his Computer band is apparently on it. Yuksek is on the label "Barcay", but i think that's different. Not much comes up in a google search.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLYIvmm77uU#t=1m0s I really like this part starting at 1:01. Sounds like he's saying "JUST ONE MINUTE" which is funny since it comes right after the one minute mark. Anyway, anyone know what this is a sample from?

i was thinking back on this year so far and the fact I haven't heard anything I've been amazed by yet. Not that its been a bad year, but I wouldn't even know where to look for something good. so maybe you can help me? here are some things that might help. -i don't like ambient or formless music -i enjoy conceptual, emotional and even melodramatic music. nothing with boring chords. -i like well structured albums, that start and end with the proper emotions thanks
