my favorite riley is 'harp of new albion'... just intonation piano, taking young's masterpiece just a little further, to my ears (granted it couldn't exist without the earlier piece)... 'persian surgery dervishes', 'rainbow', 'shri camel', 'happy end' are all pretty unfuckwithable though.

apparently it was using both real and faked groans... "Actually that was the idea on my first album, White Noise 1," laughs David. "There was a track where I created a synthesized electronic orgy and then combined that with the sounds from a real one. I recall we actually had half a dozen...

that 'sounds of love' record is HILARIOUS one or two tracks actually have their synth (can't recognize it from the picture) playing sleazy bass lines while a woman moans through one of the filters. most of the rest of it are just orchestral recordings like 'bolero' played through the same...

more thanks to red crescent; I'll definitely look for that Nonesuch album. made to measure catalog here, we should do a thread on them: http://www.crammed.be/mtm/mtm1.htm Sussan Deihim/Richard Horowitz - 'Azax Attra : Desert Equations' (Iranian vocalist ranging from traditional to high...

I like undistorted mbira too, would love to hear more of that. I also love this studio congrotronics record. 'cheap distortion' isn't the most effective way to describe what they're doing, they know exactly what to mix in straight, full fidelity, and know what feeds to shatter into thousands...

interesting to hear Rupture's points about the easily identifiable nature of the tunes. I agree they should be setting a fair amount of the money aside for renumeration, even if at present they haven't discerned the performers. it should be mentioned that not _all_ of the SF releases lack...

hats off to geesin there was a CD reissue of 1967's "A Raise of Eyebrows" & 1973's "As He Stands" in the mid 90's -- two similar albums of very fragmented multitracked madness, weird little instrumentals injected with him narrating, musing. it is a bit whimsical for me to make it all the way...

it's a silly little mp3 posted to her website, and people getting _too_ offended probably have a lot of time on their hands. if it does rankle, it's not simply because she's kept the N word -- it's because she's pronouncing it with the hard R at the end. she may not know that this is a ugly...

would love to hear the Parmegiani and Bayle library lp's. wow. have heard the dockstader: dates from 1979. analog synth sequences and textures... odd to hear him play equal temprament keyboard melodies, he's having fun. most of it is too casual to ever be released under his name with the...

holding out for a release of Peer Raben's score for Fassbinder's 'Chinese Roulette' chamber music score that initially sounds quaint but keeps spiraliing off into loopier and more disturbing dissonance, and sideswiped by nasty tape delay and filter sweeps at moments you least expect I wish...

the EMF 'electronic music' CD contains the entirety of the 'electro-acoustic music' LP, plus additional nice music I've never heard the original LP, but a friend who has says that it sounds remarkably different, especially the low end on 'Bohor'. I'm definitely looking to buy a copy to...

if the key term here is 'groundbreaking', then the technology that was used to create a lot of this music has to be investigated too. the technology hit the market around the same time as the late 60's youth movement. stockhausen had been on the scene for fifteen years, loudly showing kids how...

>there is also a double cd of covers done by her, do you know if it's a s good as the albums? That's 'Utaite Myouri' -- Shiina chose interesting songs to cover, but the production is very safe, much closer to typical j-pop emptiness. I like about two or three of the songs.

I'd agree Shiina's solo stuff is better. 'Kuruki' is the one place to start. also, this shouldn't count, but Katamari Damacy OST, listening to that as if it were real music

2004 is the year I discovered Shiina Ringo's 'Karuki Zamen Kuri No Hana'. Googling that, you might find the french students hosting the mp3's online. Also good is her 'Shoso Strip', hard to believe something that strange could be multi-platinum but Japan is just different I guess, and the...

the first record is classic for me (later records smoothed the edges off a bit). very bent, dissonant, squalky angular pop. DAF is a comparison point, but PS are far more in tune with the early Residents. Matthew's line about DNA rings true for me too. They're bruising, but incredibly...

Just a reference: Thomas Dolby spent most the late 90's pouring money and energy into a company called Beatnik, which was an attempt at a MIDI playback engine that would provide programmers with some actively interesting sounds. Unfortunately it never quite took off as a standard, and the...
