conjugacy Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Just listened to Lifetracks again for the first time in what seems like ages and thoroughly enjoyed it. Lament and Larynx from the Excursions EP are really good too, I think they were Bleep and iTunes bonus tracks. SWEET: at the start of "enchanting" the last track on "lifetracks", you can hear that eerie clock-hand sample he uses in 14:31 from GC's 76:14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUNKUM Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Yes, that's right, Ob-Selon Mi-Nos, amazing track. I seem to remember reading somewhere he wrote it for his grandfather's funeral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't heard this alternate title! Thanks for the info. PS, did you ever check out that "top 100 IDM tracks" article that circulated some months back? Everyone was angry, but it had some good tunes (it's just that it omitted many tunes, and also the order was weird). Anyway, due to the difficulty with tracking pritchard/middleton aliases, there were something like 4-5 global communication tracks on there =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember reading somewhere he wrote it for his grandfather's funeral.I got that wrong, just found the interview (in Volume 8)..."Ob-Selon Mi-Nos was written after Tom's uncle's funeral where music he'd written for his family and people at the school where he taught was played."

hayhook Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Also Further Info on "Ob-Selon Mi-Nos (Re-painted by Global Communication)" later known as 14:31, originally released on the Mystic Institute "Cyberdon (Reload Remixes)" EP: "Mystic Institute was Paul Kent from Cornwall who hired Mark Pritchard's studio to do an EP. They made A1 & A2(The track names a combo of Pritchard's and Kent's Post Codes) and since Mark basically wrote the tracks, they were credited as "Reload Remixes" and later appeared on the Reload "Amenity EP" credited only to Reload. The third track started as a track by Pritchard and Kent. Mark invited Tom Middleton to the studio who wrote a melody so strong that Mark scrapped his and Kent's initial work, and built a new song around that Melody, "Ob-Selon Mi-Nos (Repainted by Global Communication)" which was re-released as "14:31" on the Global Communication "76:14" album. The original version of "Ob-Selon Mi-Nos" was never released, and though Tracks A1 and A2 are refered to as "Reload Remixes" of QA-752L-P and NS-581A-T, unremixed versions of those tracks never existed."

hayhook Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Track Down His STAR WARS Essential Mix from 2005, his Memory House History of the 808 and 909 mixes, his BassMusic/Roots and Inspiration 86-92 mix, (all are on Mixcloud) There's a great old school rave set he did floating out there somewhere but the link I had for it is down... Also musts: his "The Trip" 1&2 Mixes A Jedi's Night Out Sound of the Cosmos Weekend Warmup 1 & 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUNKUM Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Will do, never heard of that Star Wars essential mix. I've got the Jedi's Night Out mix but not listened to it for years. I used to own that Sounds of the Cosmos triple album but unfortunately sold it in my great house music purge of the early 00's, one of a few I regret selling.

eh Speedy Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 ...Which makes me wonder, wtf did Paul Kent do, besides name stuff? I don't think I have that Star Wars mix but I do have Renaissance 3D which was like his other 3 disc follow up to The Sound of the Cosmos. Also love his Kalahari 12" (Which was like a Sven Vath set staple track) and the last one Space Steps EP with that tribute to Kenny Hawkes which is beautiful. Not to mention the double debut single from his own label Sound of the Cosmos that doesn't have any of Tom's music but is very nice. Hayhook and I have been long time Pritchard/Middleton whores together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eh Speedy Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Oh shit then there's the WYV AUW CHU / GODA CEE YUU digital single. Silly names, good tunes. One mix I listen to all of the time is the TM Peaktime Mix Oct10 The Tom_Middleton_LIVE_audio_tonic_360_071212 mix is nearly 3 hours. And the tom middleton 2 hour TEX Feb 2012 mix is deceptively 1 hour long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobDobalina Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I'm barely an MBV fan but isn't he a bit perfectionist with even conventional release of shit? If it is the case than I can only assume any soundclown dump would be the work of a jilted lover equivalent to revenge pron And so we dont go and confuse our Toms I implore one Mr. Middleton for more dtls pls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayhook Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 a "Rare" Tom Middleton Track up on his Soundcloud. A croony, chilled house number from the early '00s, could easily be an outtake off of Herbert's "Bodily Functions" LP (that's a good thing) Was announced as originally released on the Glasstracks EP (but only the UK Itunes version of it) though I never was able to track it down (2 other tracks that were exclusive to the UK Itunes release also never saw the light of day) labeled as Unreleased on his Soundcloud listing https://soundcloud.com/tommiddleton/tom-middleton-shining-feat-even-johansen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
