Bachs coffee cantata?

There's a lot of them around, actually. I think just about all records from the Drop Bass label had messages+release year/month+track titles etched. This is probably the case for other labels as well. One of my favorites, from Pressure of Speechs Art of the State (on North South): A: music for...

Let us not forget television.

Well, are you talking cups or litres? I drink at least three litres of tea each day. I suppose that's a lot.

Merry X-mess is an entire six track ep, and simply one of the gabber records. All three tracks on side a has sleighbells. It also contain the best version of "Poing" I've ever heard. There's also a gabber track called "Jingle Balls" somewhere, but I can't remember who made it, or if it has any...

Reminds me of an interview with Martin Damm (Biochip C/Speed Freak etc) where he said that he was brought up to be something like a wunderkind, and played organ in a local church as a child. And then he said that later, when he started doing techno, he had to unlearn it all because you didn't...

To some degree it is a matter of (shared) taste I'm sure, but that can't be all the explanation. A lot of prog actually had big audiences during the 70s. Today, most rock consumers buy into the Stripes/Strokes/Hives-thing. So the question is: why is the shared taste so different now? Why isn't...

Well, where to start? Maybe with a Simon Reynolds quote to put things in perspective: experience has taught me that when all right-thinking people agree something is beyond the pale, utterly devoid of merit, that’s precisely when you should start paying attention. Now that was about gabber, but...

Bah, 50 cover versions and not a single one from Laibach. A pretty predictable list I'd say. Anyway, some personal favorites: Patric Catani: Commando (Rob Hubbard) Laibach: Geburt Einer Nation (Queen) Laibach: Alle Gegen Alle (DAF) Laibach: National Reservation (JD Loudermilk) Tuxedomoon: In...

Lack of technique or ideas is one thing, but trying to be abstract and experimental can end up much worse. The covers for Autechres 'Chiastic Slide' and Red Snappers 'Prince Blimey' still by far the worst in my book.

What's the very last track? I love those computer game sounds.

Klaus Schulze: 'Sebastian im Traum'... some incredibly creepy effects on that one.

I like all the Henry Cow records, but still, they haven't really made the truly great one that everybody should own. Unrest and Western Culture could be good ones to start with. Cutler is on some great Pere Ubu/David Thomas records too. Thomas' More Places Forever particulary good I think. Got...

Yeah, the Restroom split is a bit different from what LFO Demon have otherwise made. Well, actually, most of what he have made is a bit different from the rest. But the politics are usually made explicit by the covers and not the music. His new 2LP on Sprengstoff, Genocide Memoria, is covered in...

Oh, I'm aware that you didn't say it was the best year, but you did say it was great, and, well, to me it have just been very flat... some good releases for sure, but nothing that have really excited me. (But then, my reluctance towards calling it a great year could also have something to with...

Eh, no, not at all. Last year there was at least three albums that ended up among my all time favorites. So far, nothing like that this year.

Chris Cutler. Certainly not as cool as Liebzeit, but nevertheless. Cutlers drumming excites me the same way as great jungle programming does. Underwater fireworks.

On the way to the peak of normal is by far my favorite. I even play it more than the proper Can records. Actually I must admit that when I finally got my hands on some Can, after I had read all these highly evocative articles about how far out and mindblowing they were supposed to be, I was...

It haven't been a good year for albums I think. Nevertheless, my favorites would be: Overcast: 3PM Eternal (Bloody Fist (RIP)) LFO Demon: Genocide Memoria (Sprengstoff) Like A Tim & Gina v. D'Orio: Bass Girl (Like Records) Null Object: I Saw Machines but I Heard Monsters (Null) Einstürzende...
