    can reissues

    actually does anyone have an opinion on the can DVD, i've not seen it, am intrigued... the only can footage i've seen/i have is the (incredible) "paperhouse" from beat club and some hilariously camp versions of "can can" and "i want more" off some german variety show. (also popol vuh doing...

    can reissues

    'ege bamyasi' was the one that got me, my best mate james being a mad can fiend when i shared a house w/him at age 17-19, i remember finding 'future days' on vinyl (one of the few he hadn't scored) and he pulled such an incredible guilt trip on me i had to let go of my copy (i did trade it for...

    Meant nothing David D, beyond me feeling Matt might not be a Kompakt fan and might have some intriguing reasons for that. It's always interesting to know about these things, the how & why of people's tastes. Fascinates ME, anyway. Matt, what microhouse-&-beyond HAS grabbed you? "Timecode" is...

    Richard Youngs thirded - although when I sent Matt the 4CD 'avant-folk-whatsit' set, he didn't seem too keen on Richard Youngs. Or Alasdair Roberts for that matter.

    Dear Matt-bot Please define 'our bourgeois friends'... I would think Panda Bear's new one "Young Prayer" fits this list rather well. Astonishingly beautiful record. I've been increasingly driven mad by the sheer amount of... well... DULLNESS in this whole field though. If I hear one more creaky...
