Who are they and what do they have to teach us?

Dark psychedelia. Bad trips. Skunk paranoia. Martin Sheen in a Saigon hotel room. Cold turkey. Itching. Fidgeting. Vomiting. Cabin fever. Dirty Sprites. H Block cells smeared with shit. Darkcore with the sickest most insane sonics. When you've lost everything, even yourself. Where is that...

we’re all human. our emotional reactions to events don’t always align with our intellectual or moral understanding of them. we’re complicated, hypocritical, inconsistent, illogical, etc. there’s often a disconnect between what we believe and what we feel. so this thread is based on three...

A thread to keep up Jack's morale and get him over the finish line of the week!

Sorry about the lack of activity, we're just waiting for Corpse to post a song for us to sink our teeth into...

Joy Division. How did you discover them? How did they connect/disconnect? What do they mean to you and to the world?

Music that sounds like crystals. Music that’s crystal clear. Music that crystalizes. Purity, sharpness, edges, frosted, fractal, cool air, arctic color schemes, slick, sleek. This isn’t merely aesthetic, it’s cognitive. That LSD sharpness. Clear headed, sharp witted, a moment of clarity.

Golden-age Loony Toons is amazing because of its ontological malleability when it comes to the laws of physics. A character will be squashed flat by an anvil and then roll around like a coin before popping back as though they're a balloon filling with air. physical properties shift...

The biting point between the age of soul and the age of surface. Emotions concentrated to the point of no longer being emotional. Technology superseding humanity. The birth of the Dramatic

1988- Moody Boyz- Acid Rappin' (Coky's Mix) The birth of the hardcore continuum as acid house meets dub-inspired sub bass. 1990- NRG Posse- Themes Proto-dread bass at 0.15 in a track that's otherwise just a (not so) Unique 3 rip off: 1990- Jupiter 6- Tracking System Proto-wobble bass...

This is very, very different from your favourite songs. So Red Light's 'Sensi' is one of my absolute favourite songs ever, it's potently emotive and speaks to the core of my very soul and all that, it just doesn't fit. It doesn't help matters that I can't really describe what I'm after (that...

A thread for missing Droid. I miss him and you do too.

i wrote to third the other week something like “they discovered drugs in the 60's and thought that the beatles and Syd Barret were psychedelic rather than just silly and whimsical..” the notion that sgt pepper and Arnold lane are psychedelic is such a hard concept for me to grasp. i don’t...

The ghosts of soul. Timbaland-era lone voices trapped in automated sound worlds. The spectral, shimmering translucence of garage voical samples. Reynolds notion of auto-tuned "hyper soul". Hardcores very different, hysterical hyper soul. Dancehall's squealing transhuman djinn. Rave's banshee...

We've done a thread that's more of a meta-commentary of Autecher's socio-political positioning, so this one's more of a close listening of their best track. You don't have to like it, but you're not allowed to be nasty about them on this thread.

entertainment's vocational paralysis. class paralysis in terms of declining social mobility. housing crisis means living with mum and dad ad infinitum. botox face. fixed selfie smiles. poor old malania's fixed smile: riga mortis. the joker's laughing gas victims: Babies go into shock...

Picture a not too distant future in which someone spends their time alone in a bedroom. Between a universal basic income and telecommuting they have no financial need to go outside. Likewise, with amazon, tesco online shopping and deliveroo at their disposal they have no need to go out shopping...

During the Dematerialisation thread music journalist and author Simon Reynolds kept insisting we bring the discussion back to masturbation (something he has since denied). Out of respect and sheer bewilderment we ignored it at the time, but is a rather fruitful topic of conversation. The...
