  1. new album from this killer project, via dominick fernow and phillipe hallais (low jack)! followup to 2017's ambient black magic

    available digitally now from bandcamp or directly from hospital productions as physical releases

    preorders available as a standalone 2xLP or as part of the 4xCS box set seashell altars which contains the new record with two exclusive bonus tracks, new companion EP jellyfish reproduce black magic, and a title CS containing two longform tracks

    there was a special vinyl test press edition including the companion EP, available now and not in 6wks, but it sold out almost instantly... figures

    sounding dope!

    Agree about frontier psychiatrist.

    Also, the version of extra kings from that old documentary has some extra vocal samples that sound amazing:

     

    holy crap, thanks for sharing this video! i loved this - so insightful and it's actually the first time i've seen the band's personalities beyond the same photos that everyone has already seen. great stuff

  4. some great releases in the past couple weeks!

    Proof Of The Shooting - Demonstrative Evidence (4x CD):

    https://fustycunt.bigcartel.com/product/proof-of-the-shooting-demonstrative-evidence-4xcd

    awesome retrospective of this killer 90s artist, with packaging just as irreverent as the classic Sound Probe releases. pretty sure that's latex with vhs tape set in, will be a pain in the ass to open for sure. very excited about this one. apparently contains material from "2A", most of "8", "Uncut" tape split with Diagram A, the split with Skin Crime, the tape on Collapsed Hole, and unreleased live cuts. dope

    a whole bunch of early reissues from The Rita:

    https://swollengargantuanfecalfetus.bandcamp.com/album/creature-drowning-you-and-cartilage-deposit

    the first two tapes from '96!!

    https://www.input-error.co.uk/product/the-rita-swingers-get-killed

    remastered reissue of a classic 1998 cdr

    https://ominousrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/o-c-d-shin

    AWESOME remastered material from another 1998 cdr. for my money this is honestly some of the best material from sam. textures are out of this world

    https://ominousrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/macha-vs-knife

    collection of splits from Maim and Goat in 2005 and 2007 respectively. pretty cool

    https://www.input-error.co.uk/product/the-rita-womankind

    remasters of tapes from 2010 and 2012 (not so early)

    aaaaand just released; the COLLABORATION BETWEEN MERZBOW AND PRURIENT!

    https://prurient.bandcamp.com/album/black-crows-cyborg

    teased for a few years now it finally surfaces. it's just as harrowing as any mid-period Prurient releases, but for me, it's more in vein with the desolate soundscapes of tapes like Annihilationist (2011), Unmasking The Insect (2015) and last year's full LP Casablanca Flamethrower. recently i've found this aesthetic(?) of his much more palpable than the woe-is-me, romantic and existential pain channeling that went on for a while. no PE screaming here, instead there are spoken vocals buried in the trashnoise, and also the 12" has a couple of sick colourways for your pleasure

     

    oh and also to celebrate the releases of Godzilla vs Kong, godzillanoise is now a thing

    computers use electricity? groundbreaking research...

    i read an interesting point somewhere else. it should be obvious to even the smoothest of brains that mining is significantly more profitable when using your own renewable energy. in fact it's only profitable at all with near-zero cost electricity, aka... excess capacity that would have been wasted because it costs too much to transport, e.g. hydro-dams in the middle of nowhere with not enough people around to consume all the power. now consider that excess capacity is a problem only renewable energy has (coal power plants never have excess capacity because you can't just stop burning coal if you're producing too much electricity)

    therefore mining should be able to HELP renewable energy's scalability in the near future. it could act as a subsidy for renewables, solving the problem of excess capacity in the face of insufficient demand. there is now incentive to invest in new renewable sources in places where it used to be economically unsustainable - people not buying all your electricity? just mine BTC with the rest lol

    it's become amusing to me that every anti-crypto article out there reads as salt written by people who missed the boat on BTC. now someone get me figures on how much power entire nationwide networks are using just pushing GBP around; where are HSBC's giant solar panels?

  7. so, right now i have a collection of ~1000 records, CDs and tapes worth roughly £18k based on discogs median prices. i've been obsessed with the idea of buying a property recently (renting is shit) and figured if i liquidated most - if not all - of the collection, and dumped it into stocks/shares (index funds etc) and crypto, in a few years it would put me into a good position to put a deposit down on a house. but, i wonder if i would ever regret it. i have some special ones, and it's always a cool talking point or activity if people ever come round - maybe it would be a shame to dump them all.

    what do you guys think? have you ever purged yourself of all musical worldly possessions? why? how did you feel about it?

  8. finally got round to watching suspiria (1977), instantly became one of my favourite films. seriously blown away - it was stunning if not just for the visuals alone

    Spoiler

    the scene where sara is being chased and you see the green eyes open in the darkness; dead sara entering the bedroom; the blind pianist being stalked in the plaza and attacked by his dog

    holy fuck! few things have made me audibly gasp like that

  9. too volatile a market for me. crypto is stressful, man!

    earlier in the year i took a ~£150 profit from chainlink, only for it to absolutely skyrocket less than a month later - could have taken ~£4k! when i have a more stable income i'll probably work towards building another portfolio, but for now, i'm out. can't deal with the constant phone notifications when coinbase tells me something has gone up/down 15% every hour or so... i'll stick to my index funds

    Zoolook by Jarre

    (not as good as R Plus 7 but I think the influence is in there somewhere)

    thanks! i'll check this one out. i grew up with oxygene around on repeat in the house, funnily enough, but never went beyond it

    @purlieu@joshuatxuk exactly what i was looking for, thank you! i'm familiar with emeralds and steve hauschildt, which occasionally scratches the itch, but R+7 is just so unique. despite the obvious parallels with new age, kosmiche and berlin - even composers like reich/glass - for me it's almost nostalgic of something that doesn't exist. i guess that's what journalists meant when they called burial "hauntological..."
