    Amen break and Golden Ratio

    Yah I won't argue with any of that; and I waste a lot of time studying things like Qi and Li and what-have-ya. I just mean psuedoscience in that it's unexplainable as of yet (though useful, and that's all that matters). Personally I've been interested in Qi in relation to some of the...

    Amen break and Golden Ratio

    Ah, ok, then I'd agree with you too. I'm not quite sure where I stand on the idea of Qi, in the sense that it's a psuedoscience (if even that, but I like exploring "wrong" or primitive belief systems, because sometimes I gain insight that logical trains of thought haven't had the boldness to...

    Amen break and Golden Ratio

    Nonesense, the proper term is "qi", not "loa." Not that I, cough, er, as you were...

    Amen break and Golden Ratio

    Yeah, I figured my inititial reading of the guy's explanation of the ratio was a bit simplified (it came across like a smaller bit is equal in ratio to how the larger bit is proportioned to an even larger bit?..) esp considering he wasn't just attributing it to the timing, but the frequency...

    Amen break and Golden Ratio

    Yeah, this makes sense, but as dj pimp was suggesting, wouldn't this be true of all other beats, in fact all music, built on even-numbered time signatures... in the sense that their structures subdivide into 2s, 4s, 8s, 16s etc... and with music becoming quantized, this fidelity to the ratio...

    Representations of Victorian london

    I always thought the Granada Television version of Sherlock Holmes with Jeremy Brett (doing probably one of my favorite depictions of anyone ever) was really well done, very moody and atmospheric at times. Late 1800s occult/esoteric/hermeticism really interests me, as well as the...

    Recommend me some psychedelic films

    Kenneth Anger's 'Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome,' 'Invocation of My Demon Brother,' and 'Lucifer Rising.' I'm a massive fan of, and very influenced by Anger's films and won't even bother to get into why his stuff is so awesome. Also Ira Cohen's 'Invasion of Thunderbolt Pagoda.' Kind of a...

    new mexican music

    Yeah what you're talking about would be Norteña, probably Banda. Basically Mexican polka with chirpy trumpets on the offbeat and a stumbling-around-drunk feel. Queasy is a good way to describe it. I like some, but it can get a bit... eh... flatulent sounding. Good drinking music I'd...

    Darling, I used a man's face

    Wow, those kind of made my brain feel good. Reminded me of heavily-charged sigils, blazing with living data. Very nice. :D

    Beards - are they evil?

    I was raised in that beardy, bluegrass-and-CSN&Y, "c'mon kids lets go on a road trip to Arizona and hike the canyons for five days!" kind of universe so it generally have an affection for it. That said, 'valways had my hair on the long-ish side, ever since I was really young, but I think I...

    Free improv / folk / psych crossroads?

    Comus, so disturbing, in a good way. And similarly, Current 93, who probably also belong on this thread. And on a progfolk tip with Comus, Third Ear Band.

    Free improv / folk / psych crossroads?

    Yeah Jack Rose is alright. Agreed also on Parson Sound... try Jandek if you can find it. And following on the Taj Mahal Travellers tip, Far Out. Fuck we need more psych/prog/folk/noise/experimental threads, so much amazing stuff. Thanks for all those, Msoes. (whoa that rhymed) Great name!

    Free improv / folk / psych crossroads?

    Ok, now we're talking... What childOftheBlogosphere said... Fonal label & Jewelled Antler labels have what you're looking for, I think. Kemialliset Ystävät/Valojuopot, Paavoharju, Kuupuu, Family Underground, Lau Nau, Thuja, etc The American bands are for the most part a little more...

    obviously nothing going on, CHROME!

    Good one. There's almost a vague pre-echo of Neurofunk in that song (before the guitars) when the percolating synth drops in over that DnB boomKAK. Speaking of DnB, a lot of Techstep and Neurofunk (Neurofunk... Neuromancer :slanted:) is probably the most Cyberpunk music ever, especially the...

    US Pop. 00's

    Haha, yeah, tho I have to admit that Lloyd's Schaffel track is a cute twist. Aiming for that crucial Berlin demographic.

    US Pop. 00's

    WTF I turn my back on Crunk and RnB for a bit and it mutates into Tranc-E-lectro-style overnight. Freestyle-Trance = PopFuturism reaching it's absolute, fluffiest pinnacle. Now just add Hot Teenage White Girl and it'll be about that time for the next Cobain/Morrisey Martyr Figure to save...

    obviously nothing going on, CHROME!

    Hmmm... Maybe Metal Urbain? This Heat? Earlier Cabaret Voltaire? Some of the less disco-y NDW? Maybe these are too crude sounding tho... They have that outlaw thing going, but aren't exactly the sound of a very advanced or healthy human/machine interface. Are you looking for more of just...
