Second appearance for Jeff Mills

i had to look up "pan-turanist" so does that mean you are claiming Eotvos as a Hungarian to be essentially Turkish?

That's all very well, but since the artist in question once literally defined his music as coming from the future - what else is the conceit of "Terminator"? - then it seems unavoidable to be bemused by the new stuff's stuck-in-an-eternal-1995-ness He could redo the Sarah Connor sample from...

I'm not sure I'd think of "indie" if I heard that without the image of the young men with their guitars the guitar sounds a bit like Fripp on one of the Eno albums (Another Green World I think) "pleasant enough" as you say

Am I the only one here who receives press releases? Here's another. To be honest, this is something I would probably quite enjoy, as second-wave or third-wave hauntology, but I think the press release is trying way too hard: Hawksmoor - "An Aesthetic - Experiments In Tape" Working as both...

The Go Betweens used to have nice album covers

Ah I figured someone must have done something on these lines before There is also 'the worst thing you heard today' thread But this particular example isn't actively awful, it's just unnecessary.... and hard to imagine why someone would think it was a good idea or desire to bring it into the world

Shall we give it a chance? Open mind, open ears?

A place for press releases, Bandcamp blurbs, interview auto-hype, and other release-rationalizing texts that do not achieve their intended purpose of making you salivate to hear the record First offering: Kieran Hebden + William Tyler Announce Debut Album Kieran Hebden Statement: We...

Cruzy crazy in Wakefield!

Also from Peter Eötvös Alongside "Starsailor" this might be my favorite voicescape of all The composer explains: In “The Tale”, 99 Hungarian folk tales are „squeezed” into 12 minutes and 34 seconds. The form of the composition corresponds to the general structure of all folk tales in the...
