Richard D James SoundCloud - A Gift To The Fans

[Mattthegoone]

 I was contemplating going to lisbon but flights there were 250, they were less than 50 return to Bristol, I know now that I made the right choice bristol was the best, the rocksteady/ska night on Friday in Elmers was out of this world.

I wonder how Ae's set was.. Must be pre-Confield something right after EP7 

What a freaking awesome lineup tho! 

Yeah it was... actually not that great. From what I remember they were on pretty late, 3am or so. Energy was flagging a little and instead of the slamming set required there was an extended version of '19 headaches'. Crowd dispersed, by the end of the set there was definitely plenty of room to dance.  Not one of their best sets.

Can someone please elaborate this? What does he mean by "Original Reese Bass"? 
 

And oh Blackbox Life Recorder track: "This Track is not Available in your Country" 

[Bubba69]

I'm guessing there is some ralph lundsten recording that has a reese-like bass sound in it and richard made the connection. No idea what song though because I'm not familiar with anything ralph lundsten did except that he was an early electronic pioneer.

Holy shit that was so ahead of its time, and very afx-y, I feel like he must have gotten some formative inspiration from this artist if not this album.

The drum treatment, ambient sounds, and "unidentifiable electronic squiggy noises" are all there.

I need more tracks like this in my life. Can someone please recommend some tunes like this through a thread or through DMs? (so that this place doesn't get off topic)

Check out more Lundsten (obvs). There's quite a bit on youtube. You might also like this. Not as futuristic sounding production wise, but similar in terms of funky breakbeats with general wigging out on top (more organic as much earlier than that track^). Bit closer to can than anything, rhythmically. Pretty lush tho.

Might not be exactly the same, but in any case, give Black Devil Disco Club a try. It's the shit.

If you play the "Vampyros Lesbos" soundtrack at the same time, you're pretty much there.

9 years later and the only soundscloud-bonanza track from 2015 that I listen to regularly is floating infinity. I know there were some other good ones in there but I can never remember which and its all too much to wade through, I always meant to go back and listen to them all again but never did. lol

Yeah that one's a beaut.

This is still my clear favourite of the lot and, by far, my most listened to.
