[Burial - Dreamfear (9th February)]

I cant think of another artist who has descended into such a parody of his former self.

[Dj Fokus - Get A Bearing/Dream (Fundamental Frequencies)]

Wow Absolutely essential. Been looking for this for over 20 years.

[Photek - Modus Operandi reissue]

It sounds ridiculous, but I remember being a bit disappointed with this when it came out. I guess mainly because almost everything he released in the lead up to it was so good, and there was a certain sterility to the overall sound on the album. I dont think anything on it would come near my Photek top 10.
 

 

[First Light / Last Light by The Last Ambient Hero]

Thanks!

[Super Mario 64 Aphex Remixes]

They're great. Bought it yesterday.

[Watmm, lets have your Jungle]

I love the flip of that Oaysis  12"
 

[Watmm, lets have your Jungle]

One of my all time faves.

 

[Stone in Focus]

First time I heard it was early 1995 on that same compilation, having already rinsed the CD version of SAW II.

[Scuba - Digital Underground]

I do like his music. he just seems (or seemed) to go out of his way to be a cunt online.

I had some run-ins with him 10+ years ago. He was an islamophobic zionist back then IIRC.

[post your favorite hi hats]

Killer hats on this lad.

Great interview, and I found out about No Place Like Drone too which is quite enjoyable.  Been listening all afternoon.

Ah! Thank you!

[André 3000 - New Blue Sun]

Its pretty good, but in the ambient new age jazz flute arena it still falls well short of the gold standard.
 

 

[Israeli-Palestinian conflict]

Perhaps the most ridiculous piece of propaganda yet.

[AE Live 2023]

Ah, yeah thanks. It was a lot of fun.

[bandcamp acquired by epic games?!]

It's about creating a community, and the writers played a curatorial role. Their "month in...' series was excellent, I found loads of great stuff there.  

[American frontier]

Actually, speaking of the Coens, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs is great.

[American frontier]

I recently read 'Empire of the Summer Moon' about the Comanches, which is pretty great if you're looking for some real life Blood Meridian stuff.

And Bury my Heart and Wounded Knee is a classic for a reason.

But nothing will top BM. I suggest reading it again. Samuel Chamberlain's 'My Confession' is a decent substitute, or ofc, the other southern McCarthy books. The Border Trilogy is a good bet. The Crossing is one of his best books, absolutely heartbreaking that one.

[Autechre @ Vicar street, Dublin - Apartment, bed, couch, carpet for 3 idiots from berlin fri-mo]

lol, fuck, I should've known you'd tried. If I had the space Id put you up, sorry.

[Autechre @ Vicar street, Dublin - Apartment, bed, couch, carpet for 3 idiots from berlin fri-mo]

Aw man, so sorry. Accommodation in Dublin is a fucking nightmare. Hopefully something comes up for you.

Something like this maybe? https://www.booking.com/hotel/ie/private-cosy-studio.en-gb.html?aid=373411&label=city-dublin-OnE0*EeEl3lq7DzvzNOAsgS388389303543%3Apl%3Ata%3Ap1%3Ap2%3Aac%3Aap%3Aneg%3Afi%3Atikwd-33452280%3Alp1007850%3Ali%3Adec%3Adm%3Appccp%3DUmFuZG9tSVYkc2RlIyh9Ybz4KBg0DTFCTn0pIbYiAXw&sid=221949b38a6efbef4f32dbee56456d9d&all_sr_blocks=1088897501_381810148_3_0_0&checkin=2023-10-27&checkout=2023-10-30&dest_id=-1502554&dest_type=city&dist=0&group_adults=3&group_children=0&hapos=5&highlighted_blocks=1088897501_381810148_3_0_0&hpos=5&matching_block_id=1088897501_381810148_3_0_0&no_rooms=1&req_adults=3&req_children=0&room1=A%2CA%2CA&sb_price_type=total&sr_order=popularity&sr_pri_blocks=1088897501_381810148_3_0_0__24000&srepoch=1697203788&srpvid=1ebf5edd47e0053b&type=total&ucfs=1&activeTab=main

[Burial - Streetlands]

We tried to get him to do a remix of this back in the day and got refused.

 

[RDJ's claim to have written secret pop songs (1995)]

 

[AE Live 2023]

I hope they come in on horseback.

[Ambient - The Megathread]

Listening to a promo of this ATM, its wonderful.
