    Reflections on albums from the grim-auteurs

    Yes indeed I am, and a shithouse place to be it is as well. Well... there's better places, anyway. You?

    john balance rip

    Oh god, that's just awful, awful, terrible news. I'm so sorry for Jhon, and for Peter and Ian, and for music in general. The last month or so has just been a litany of disaster after disaster, hasn't it? This is just so... unexpected. I could imagine depression and.. but to get pissed and...

    Reflections on albums from the grim-auteurs

    Living in Australia and being mildly allergic to vinyl makes it rather to keep up with all this. I've found about a dozen Wiley instrumentals, but I havn't found any vocal tracks (besides the album, which I have); given all the praise for his earlier and later work, anyone got some...

    Odb R.I.P.

    That's ruined a perfectly good day. Rest in peace, Dirt Dog.

    the last poets

    Well, seeing as you mention both poetry and the occult and sonic experimentalism (not to mention the hidden reverse) I need to take the easy shot and say "Coil"! Among the rest of their work, if anyone's heard their track "A Cold Cell" (as yet unreleased, only available on one Wire Tapper and on...

    Patrick Cowley

    Yeah, lovely cover art on that Megahorn comp. It's not terribly comprehensive though, 12 tracks I think? Still, young Bobby wasn't known for his variety...

    Patrick Cowley

    There are three great Bobby O comps that have been available for about fifteen years now, search bobby orlando on amazon, I recently picked them up and theres some superb music on there. that said, that new 2x12" one on boomkat has lovely artwork. Also interesting to look at the first pet shop...

    Drop the bass! (Miami style)

    In my view the clearest indicator of the gender (non)issue regarding ghettotech etc is that Touchin' Bass is run by Andrea Parker. And the first release...? "Freaky bitches... is whut I need..."

    Drop the bass! (Miami style)

    mms: starsky is some good stuff, i've got a couple of twelves, on databass if i remember correctly? definitely at the forefront of the ghettotech etc genre. as for the sexism, yeah... when assault says 'b!tch don't cry/when i nut in your eye/let it drip down your face/give that b!tch a...

    Agit-Tronics v. Freedom

    Inevitably, most of the best art is created under adverse political conditions. Crisis breeds response. I'm looking forward to the great stuff that will come out over the next few years. But I have a problem here - why do you want such overt political statements? To me, the music of itself is a...

    Drop the bass! (Miami style)

    Ed DMX drops some great little gems on the Breakin' label, and Rephlex released a Dynamix II comp a few years back. Everything connects up, doesn't it?

    Label rot, eh? I blame Factory. But then Kompakt is going strong just past 100...

    Tale of 2 labels: WARP and XL.

    Can I mention Schematic here as well? Given that they started as basically "Warp Miami"... Their first, say, 20 releases were the stuff of absolute dreams, all the Phoenecia, Rom and Josh stuff and Richard Devine was stunning, they were going where Autechre had promised. But for the last three...

    This years The Books/Animal Collective/Junior Boys?

    In preference to a number of the acts mentioned above, I've been enjoying greatly - The Castanets. Simply amazing, wallowing darkness of blackened country. Similar to Woven Hand, a little. And the new Woven Hand album beggars belief. Check them out, I'm not sure too many people are terribly...

    Tale of 2 labels: WARP and XL.

    This is something that has been playing out in my thoughts for a while. The Jimmy Edgar signing was completely inexplicable, the new Beans album is mediocre, this new band, Maximo Park, sound like they are a direct attempt to be a poor man's Bloc Party, um, the !!! album was poor, Gravenhurst is...
