that's all I could find...
Would be a great signing for them I think- he's really pushing electronic music into some interesting new areas...

New Actress track courtesy of XLR8R (and the man himself apparently)

Sounding like a really nice!

Jon has been crazy prolific as of late. Seems that he's recorded four really nice kosmische-style tracks over the last four days: http://cafekaput.blogspot.com/2011/06/four-days-four-recordings.html

I created a thread for As the Crow Flies with a few more details in the New Releases forum:

Hello all, listened to Jim and Julian's appearance on Jonny Trunk's OST show, which is available for download on the Resonance site. Great as you might expect with the two bringing in lots of rare library and soundtrack joints as well as playing new Belbury and Advisory Circle.
Noticed that there is also a show featuring Jon Brooks which I have yet to listen to. Jim mentioned that the new Advisory album, As the Crow Flies, should be out June 21, but this says July 8. (small image of the artwork as well if it's real- looks official?)

It is entirely possible, I've chopped up things and created new melodies from individual notes and phrases, it would just be a lot of work to create a whole album that way- especially one this intricate.
But yeah, the bottom line is that it's a sweet album regardless...
-
Yeah, I usually don't care too much about what someone uses (particularly in terms of software). I was more interested in the whole thing being made from VHS samples- that's crazy! Every sound? I don't know man...
every sound. yes.
Holy shit, that's insane! Wonder how long it takes him to put the average track together...

Cool, I'd like to see the interview where he says that. For me, it would make the album even more impressive.
I agree, that would be a whole lot of sampling and chopping! Anyone have a link to the interview? Would definitely be an interesting read I think...
-
Just pulled the trigger on the Willows vinyl reissue (with free FLAC download) after listening to the samples and I have to say it's probably the best Ghost Box full-length that I've heard.
But have you heard Other Channels, The Owl's map and Hey Let Loose Your Love?

Ooh, thanks for the heads-up sir- tracklist looks awesome!

Maurice Ravel - Pavane for Dead Princess: One of the most heart-breakingly beautiful things you'll ever hear...

Something more recent- Nils Frahm's Wintermusik album is just beautiful:

Kind of how I feel about this album as well (same as the first Nuearz album, although that wasn't nearly as good as 'Trademark') as time's gone on. As much as I love it I can't remember how many times I've done it all in one go. I've also found it sounds a lot less abrasive than it might first seem with repeated listens, there are actually some lovely moments on there, such as 'Remote Control', moments of 'Twitch Of The Nerve' and 'Red Lens Effect'. The one thing I don't like about the album is the intro to 'Gianasi' which I loathe, although even that track soon picks up for me.
I feel the same way- I finally ordered this today after being on the fence for a while, occasionally listening to a track or two on YouTube. Found myself listening to the samples on Boomkat today over and over and finding it strangely addictive...

jim jupp presents radio belbury
Listened to this (along with the latest Cafe Kaput mix), really made my day!
Can't wait to hear more Hintermass and new Belbury and Advisory Circle albums!
-
'Sketches and Spells' is being reissued in the new year on vinyl (and CD), but I agree, more Focus Group wouldn't be amiss.
Yes! That's the only TFG release I don't have a copy of...
-
I've had my copy for a few days and it's been in heavy rotation. Really nice autumn listening.
-
Don't forget MM.. Food. LOVE that album.
Was just going to mention that, great album. Rapp Snitch Knishes with Mr. Fantastik is awesome (he's also on the King Geedorah album). We need more Fantastik!
Madvilliany is still the best imo.

I love sufjan, but man..... super lame he made two states albums. Those were so obviously his best.
I agree that they're his best, I guess he doesn't just want to be "states albums guy"
I was looking forward to Rhode Island, maybe that would have to be a single or ep...

From Pitchfork:
Following (very) closely on the heels of last week's surprise All Delighted People EP comes news of a brand new Sufjan Stevens full-length. The Age of Adz will be released by Asthmatic Kitty on October 12. ("Adz" is pronounced "odds," a press release tells us.)
The Age of Adz:
01 Futile Devices
02 Too Much
03 Age of Adz
04 I Walked
05 Now That I'm Older
06 Get Real Get Right
07 Bad Communication
08 Vesuvius
09 All for Myself
10 I Want To Be Well
11 Impossible Soul
From Asthmatic Kitty:
We can say it shows an extensive use of electronics (banjos and acoustic guitars give way to drum machines and analog synthesizers), and an obsession with cosmic fantasies (space, heaven, aliens, love), to create an explicit pop-song extravaganza, augmented by heavy orchestration, and maybe even a few danceable moments. Enjoy Your Rabbit meets the BQE. But with songs. Verse, chorus, bridge, backbeat. Gated reverb. Space echo. Get your boogey on.
The “Adz” of the title loosely refers to the apocalyptic paintings of outsider artist Royal Robertson (1930-1997), whose work is used for the album cover, interior design, and as general inspiration for the tone of the album.
Seems like some crazy Sufjan prog/idm album, should be awesome!

Definitely seek out the Teebs 09 tracks and dl, beautiful stuff!
-
Not sure when this is coming out, but Teebs is definitely my favorite out of the LA scene (right up there with FlyLo for me). His stuff is so lush, mellow and melodic. Excellent visual artist as well.
You can check some of his tunes in his recentish XLR8R Podcast.
The first Morricone-sampling track below is one of my favorites.

Also, Google his Teebs 09 cdr for some auditory pleasures if you're so inclined...

Ordered Chromesthesia as well, not sure about the Phase90 album- might be a little dark for my tastes....
