[Your pointless thoughts & observations]

I don’t have enough saliva to piss on their parade.

[stupid first world problems you're dealing with]

Lessons learned this week: if you’re caring for a dying friend who happen to be well known, prepare a press release beforehand, not while journalists are calling up when you haven't had the time yet to contact close ones, nevermind grieve or sleep in three days.

Quote

To celebrate the reissue earlier this year of Seefeel’s 1994 - 96 music for Warp and Rephlex, we invited the producer KMRU to make an immersive hour long mix of tracks from the records.

A limited edition tape is available via Bleep: 60 minute pro-dubbed cassette with onbody print in a white presentation case, housed inside a sticker sealed glassine envelope with 16 page zine containing an interview with the band conducted by Simon Reynolds:

Joseph Kamaru, aka KMRU, is a sound artist and experimental ambient musician, raised in Nairobi, Kenya, and currently based in Berlin where he is a Master’s student in Sound Studies and Sonic Arts at the Universität der Künste. His works deal with discourses of field recording, improvisation, noise, ambient, machine learning, radio art and expansive hypnotic drones. He has earned international acclaim from his performances in far-flung locales as well as his ambient recordings, including the 2020 album Peel released on Editions Mego.

Yeah, moebius is probably my favorite. It’s crazy how much stuff I loved growing up that he was a part of. The Rene Laloux movies are pretty much the all time greatest creations.  

Moebius only did design work on Les maîtres du temps tho, not Fantastic Planet (that's upon drawings by Roland Topor) or Gandahar (that's Philippe Caza).

[Richard D. James Album 25th Anniversary]

I know this won’t be a popular opinion here, but I don’t care much about this (and Girl/Boy EP, which for many of us was combined into the same release). Unlike the absolute excitement palpable in the inventions of Hangable Auto Bulb, or the tightness and punchyness of later tracker stuff, it sounds splattered and thin to me. Something doesn’t gel. It should be a sweet spot, but instead it just feels like a transitional phase — that happened to hit it big.

These are genuinely fantastic. That Torment logo!

[Pendant - To All Sides They Will Stretch Out Their Hands]

A pleasant surprise comeback indeed. I remember reading a few months ago how fed up he was with "ambient", I wonder if that interview prompted him to dig out old sessions? (Nah, the turnaround times for vinyl would mean this was in the works way before.)

Along with the Topdown Dialectic, this September is shaping up pretty, pretty good.

Huh. If I’m not mistaken, I was at the second protest in the video, being charged.

Here’s a video :

[African Head Charge]

 

Childhood me was told that this was real music, which explains so much.

(Pershaps I was also lied about those «vegetables» growing under the lights in the basement?)

Lucy is new to me - I will definitely be giving this one a spin.

 

Anticlines is probably a good starting point.

[Aaron Dilloway & Lucrecia Dalt - Lucy & Aaron]

Meant to start a thread about this one! Those two are a great match; they have a way to wedge sounds open (in Dalt’s case, it’s something very mineral, like splitting a magnetic geode, while Dilloway’s more about diving in a rotten tree trunk to dig out nesting bugs. And getting pulled in).

Fantastic covert art too.
