fumi Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I found her stuff last year on Youtube when I was looking for videos of Gia Carangi (an 80s supermodel who sadly died of AIDS). I loved Gia's look - but that's a non-WATMM concern. Anway, Quiltland has put out her debut (I think) album. There is some good work on here - especially the 30 minute collection of 'Fides'. It's not all to my taste but I can see why AD signed her - she's certainly got that special something. Previews on Bleep - and a cassette edition too. https://bleep.com/release/51938-quiltland-sisto Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fumi Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 Also, I just noticed - on the AD bandcamp page, you can order the cassette for £6-50 and you get to choose the digital format. http://astrodynamics.bandcamp.com/album/sisto Bleep only offer you an mp3 with the cassette purchase.

batch Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 ordered this last week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fumi Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Yeah, I ordered the cassette. I emailed AD because the bandcamp page says the digital downloads go out on the 16th (two days ago) but the guy at AD said that was incorrect. It won't be for another week or so before they mail out the links. I don't know why but I think this is another AD artist to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fumi Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 With 1991 Remix. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuatxuk Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 With 1991 Remix. Regards Damn that looks slick. I had found Quitland via the 1991 remix uploaded earlier this month. Good stuff. Sisto is really good, it's harkening earlier electronic music in a very interesting and engaging way rather than just rehashing the aesthetics of late 80s/early 90s rave. The tape looks nice - looks like AD has gotten better at cassette packaging. I have to admit I was letdown by a rather cheap (non-cardstock printed paper) j-card I found in an earlier Astro:Dynamics release, Lotide's Moonless, especially since I ordered it from across the pond. That said the music and quality of tape itself was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fumi Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 The tapes are already sold-out at Boomkat. AD still have some maybe. The tape inlay is good: Like some faded photo of a 80s/90s diva who never quite made it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fumi Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Boomkat's description of this album is way off. They've even got the artist's gender wrong. Her name is: Frida-Li Lovgren My description of these two releases: Occasional sequencer patterns that recall a longing for mid 90s rave dystopia; Julee Cruise (Twin Peaks), the ghost of Propaganda (their final 1990 album - '1234'), ambient sections of 1980s Art Of Noise and the occasional elegiac, faded melancholy of Basinski. It's the kind of thing they would have played for Haute Couture fashion shows in the early 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batch Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 anyone with the Sisto tape have a bunch of clicking (almost vinyl-esque?). just wondering if this was normal/intended. it sounds intentional....it's a bit of a brainbug to my ears. i love the material otherwise.

fumi Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 I've never listened to the tape. I didn't notice anything at all with the digital release - except that it's maybe my favourite album of the year so far. Did you get it from Bandcamp?

Sisto is her second release. I looked at Sisto here: http://bit.ly/1mKknJc Kind Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fumi Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Had a listen to this again today. Still ties with Persistence of Vision and Reach Prints as my favorite album of the year (so far). If you like atmospheric but quite melodic music with a somewhat washed out 80's (to my ears) feel - you should check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acroyear Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Not sure how I stumbled upon Quiltland today, but I ordered a copy of the s/t album just now and am listening to the Sisto release over on Bandcamp. I'm a little late on this one I know, but this artist needs more exposure I think. Great stuff here. Hazy as fuck on the debut album, and really laid back and beautiful without being dull. Just what I've been looking for lately. The cassette release of Sisto is a little more technical and maybe more interesting but I love both.
