Jefre Cantu-Ledesmas 'Love Is A Stream' from last year is a bit like a a distilled shoegaze album, as if you stripped away all the rock bits and just leave the white-out guitar textures. The tracks are relatively compact and there's still a sense of "song" underneath, so the result sits right on...

Oh, you can, and I'd encourage you to do so. :D Depression is such a common thing, if you seek out professional help he will be able to understand what you're talking about. If you're really depressed (and it sounds like you are) it's very unlikely that you'll find out the source of "the voice"...

Is it really true that cassettes aren't manufactured anymore? There are still places offering duplication and empty cassettes, there are even major labels releasing cassettes for children, and there are enough places on the world where cassettes are still a very common format. I can't imagine...

As far as I know Demdike Stare's 2010 LPs will be compiled on 3CD release next year, so if you don't care much about the vinyl, that's probably the one to get. Records that impressed me a lot this year: Joe Colley - Disasters of Self (Crippled Intellect Productions) Olivia Block & Kyle...

what are the rules for year-end-lists for including (or not): - reissues - releases of old but unreleased material - compilations

Have people (who are not involved in music journalism/zines) written year end lists when there was no internet?

Maybe the origin of the german scat porn myth is based on the card game Skat? It's very popular in Germany but probably not that well known in the rest of the world. Of course it has nothing to do with coprophilia, except perhaps a very loose ethymological connection:

There's a film about that night. Loved it as a teenager, but looks a bit silly now.:rolleyes:

In a pre-modern society the value and position of people is defined by birth. Nazism does exactly that, it's just not a system based on legitimation by god as in medieval europe, but race. Blood and soil and all that. So I'd say that Nazism is surely radical but still very reactionary. In From...

What about Mervyn Peake? I wouldn't call the Gormenghast novels radical in a political sense, but it's fantasy that's not really based in old european mythology like Tolkien etc., and a major theme is the struggle of the individual against a reactionary society that's stuck in tradition and...

I just finished the Viriconium books my M. John Harrison. The first short novel is still rather conventional in the sense of narrating a sort of "adventure quest" plot in a fantastic world, but over the course of the complete cycle there's an increasing sense of strangeness and alienation...

I was never a fan, don't even know many of his tunes, but Beepstreet is still one of my favourite melancholic soul pride workouts

Nice, I'm downloading the first of your compilations now. I was too young to get into that stuff at the time and later on never got around to really check it out beyond Flying Saucer Attack, Seefeel, Amp and Third Eye Foundation.

I think what works better depends a lot on what the problem is. What's the difference between a counselling and therapy (is there one)? I'm not familiar with the english health system. What I meant was that when you're depressed and think a lot about yourself just on your own it leads to...

In my experience taking "formal measures" can be very helpful. When you're depressed you can't get yourself out of the hole, self-examination makes you feel like a miserable shit wallowing in self-pity, just worthless. But seeing your feelings as 'depression' offers the possibility for a...

Yes, all three Köner reissues on Type are great. Actually more, hmm, lonely than scary? Does anybody still use the term Isolationism for that type of music?

I don't think anyone doubts that people can be manipulated. Con artists, politicians, sect leaders, a lot of people do it. I think Mr. Tea, padraig etc. just oppose the idea that in the case of PUAs it's an act of self-improvement. Just because the human psyche has ways to exploit it, it...

that's just wonderful

More ambience (in the sense of musique concrete) than ambient: @c - Music For Empty Spaces (Baskaru) Jocelyn Robert - Monsonics (Hrönir) Eric La Casa - Zone Sensible 2/Dundee 2 (Room40) In the beginning of Dundee 2 there's a cool moment when after a bit of low rumbling atmospheric noise you...

I so want to see this. Now :mad: God only know when it will be in cinemas here.
