Mashups. Good ones. 1 2 3

I stumbled across this mashup today and all I could think was "YOU GOT CHOCOLATE IN MY PEANUT BUTTER!" http://www.percussionlab.com/sets/hirnduebel/cold_rainbow_vein Anyone got any other good ones? I remember the Grey Album being okay. Also, Wugazi is quite fun.

It does seem as if this has had a few threads last year, yet I personally think it needs another revival. Here's two of my favorites right now. The soundtrack for 'Limbo' by Martin Stig Andersen.' http://limbogame.bandcamp.com/ It has a very Tim Hecker-esque feel to it, yet a lot calmer and more tranquil. In my opinion it's one of the most fitting soundtracks to a videogame ever. Seriously. Ever. But since the game itself is rather short, so is the soundtrack, which is a damn shame. I would have loved to have a physical release of the album included extended versions and extras. There's a video floating around somewhere (might be on Andersen's own…

I have this tendency of losing the first beat on more and more electronic tracks I listen to lately and it's bugging me. I know I'm off and sometimes I can get back on the 'one' or I just give up. Anyone else have this problem? Here are some prominent examples that have haunted me for years: Aphex 'Acrid Avid Jam Shred' - The one should be when the first closed hihat kicks in, but I'm always counting the first open hihat as the first beat of the bar. I can't shake it off and I feel I've always listened to this track incorrectly: http://youtu.be/YwZ_9V37KxA Plastikman 'Plasticity' - It's simple enough with the 808 congas. But when the 303 fades in, I get stuck on t…

This seems (and has always seemed) to be a relatively rare opinion, but I'm very fond of Gary Numan's Berserker, The Fury, and (to a lesser extent) Strange Charm albums – particular some of the B sides. Tracks like "Empty Bed, Empty Heart," "Here am I," "Anthem," and "The Fear" are probably my favorite works of his, and I return to them more often than I do his coveted 1979-1980 records. I find them to be especially good winter listening in the car. There are definitely elements that haven't dated well (slapped fretless bass, diva-esque backing vocals, jarring FM bell patches here and there), but I would say that The Fury is probably my favorite Numan record, and yes I kn…

I got to speak to Kevin Martin recently in advance of his gig in Dublin on Friday. Thought it may be of interest to some WATMMers. Unfortunately I stopped recording before his Aphex story. 😅 https://nialler9.com/meditation-and-provocation-a-conversation-with-the-bug/

Every time there's a new release there's normally a fair bit of discussion in the relevant thread, so I thought it was about time to start a general FSOL thread. Also, I just started a new blog called Fractional Difference, in which I'll be going through every release and song, in order, and looking at various things... all the facts, connections with other tracks, and my own personal feelings about them. It's going to take forever (they released 180 tracks on the launch of FSOLDigital alone), but I'm quite looking forward to revisiting the whole catalogue over the next however long it takes. So far I've done an About page which explains my discovery of the band and …

Can you recommend me some good Indian music? Preferrably instrumental (but not necessarily). I basically only know two albums of Ravi Shankar. Thanks m8s.

And why not. I think we need a Drexciya thread pinned in GB as this music is the music that all need to hear. If you don't know Drexciya then you probably only like Ganjasufi and Grizzly Bear so fuck you. I'm listening to Triangular Hydrogen and my dick is rock hard. ROCK HARD. Amazing music.

I tend to believe record labels are the best way to explore new music. So watmm, what are some of your favorite labels out right now? I'll start with Banoffee Pies out of Bristol. The speed garage + breaks combo is lovely. https://banoffeepiesrecords.bandcamp.com/

It's Christmas. That means one thing. Or maybe not. Would rather have had one killer Christmas track than staggered eps of blandness all year. What say the WATMM massif?

I've been listening to these back to back and can't decide. They're all brilliant. The original? AFX Remix? Humanoid - 808 Nation? Something I missed?

..anyone here an aficionado? I've sampled his stuff over the years and watching these vids of recent live performances really made me want to seriously get into his stuff. I would love to have a full concert in 5.1 surround if these videos are indicative of a whole 'performance'. can someone give me a list of his 'must hear' releases?
