This album is early 70s Ethiopian Jazz and its very nice. Kind of like Blue Note stuff but with an Ethiopian angle. Jim Jarmuch used a lot of it in the soundtrack to his 2005 Bill Murray film Broken Flowers. My filmmaker friend was really disappointed when Broken Flowers came out because he'd been into this album for ages and had it in mind as a 'secret weapon' to use on one of his own films eventually ...

Wisp's "SAW 2 Reworked" was great Cliffs (1043 Mix) Rhubarb (1159 Mix) Z Twig (6040 Mix) Lichen (1136 Mix) If I remember correctly RDJ played one of these in a DJ set shortly before Wisp got signed to Rephlex Also I still listen to About Things That Never Were a lot. Was the soundtrack to a trip I took to Japan about 15 years ago.

A lot of you may know this one, it won lots of awards in 2006 or so, but the album "Dimanche à Bamako" by Amadou & Mariam, a blind duo from Mali, assisted by French backpacker favourite Manu Chao is absolutely beautiful and chilled.

I remember this was supposed to come out in 2012.

Elon specifically mentioned Blade Runner as an influence, and as you probably know Blade Runner is set in Los Angeles, November 2019, which is where they did the Cybertruck unveil.

Some great ones from the first page of the thread

We're all old now, right? Like RDJ and Squarpusher are now old, and they're still doing crazy mad intense music, which really seems like it should be the job of young people who are off the faces but they are showing that you can be an old person, possibly wearing sensible comfortable shoes, and maybe you've got a mortgage, but you can still slice up breakbeats. And WATMM is like over 20 years old now, we must all be pushing 50 soon? So surely there's a theme there. Old people doing electronic music that they could never conceivably dance to without doing an injury to their backs. Or some sort of mid-life crisis theme? I'm serious.

I think its something to do with the body being cold rolled stainless steel. Its hard to make curves so they just went with it and went for something really angular. Production process is going to be completely different to regular cars - more a case of folding a huge sheet of metal into the right shape.

I thought he handled that well. He just kindof giggled and then they got on with it. That truck is bonkers though. 0 to 60 in 2.9 seconds. 150,000 reservations already

A lot of religion is about praising the powerful, and that used to be normal like 300 years ago or whatever, but its a bit outdated now, praise is now mostly for children or pets. So praising a superpowerful deity is odd, in our time. I am left thinking "What sort of deity needs to be praised?"

Video is aweseome. The article links back to watmm.

Darkest Hour

Rktic, 2004. This builds to something amazing.

That's a nice interview. I'd love to hear the tracks Richard made with Luke Vibert someday. Yeah that was interesting.

Read the whole thing - first post in this thread.

From the same sessions/era for sure.

Oh wow, I have been searching for this interview for years, literally. Back in 1996 I read it sitting in a cafe near Berwick st somewhere and it always stuck in my head because they did seem to be getting pissed off with each other. Mike calls Rich a bully. Rich talks about Mike's wife having an Aphex tattoo. Rich calls Mikes quality control crap. Mike calls Rephlex crap. etc... I'm pretty sure this is the only copy of the interview that has ever made it onto the internet because I've googled it before and never found it. Congrats FilziSH for getting it up here.

I had that one too. Christmas Day 1983, putting it together. Awesome. Thinking back, this was a great set but it always bugged me that the astronaut that sits in the back (there's a sort of 'lab' at the back that can be detatched and dropped off) couldnt wear his life-support backpack because he was sitting in a chair. So if you were playing and you wanted that guy to get up and leave the lab, you had to pull his head off to get his backpack on. Pulling the minifigs head off kind of 'broke the rules' and broke your immersion in the play. Jus sayin.
