Drumming with electronics

[vimothy]

you might like my friend's band shit & shine

I do actually, I think they're ace!

"Hal Blane - Psychedelic Percussion"

I don't remember too much in the way of electronics on this. Good lp though, one I've still to get my hands on.

Most of the Boredoms stuff isn't available on vinyl (sadly for CD playa-less Rich). Did you ever hear Seadrum Rich? Its fucking awesome. The closest thing they've done to their live live set.

 

[IdleRich]

Nope. I did used to have some Boredoms stuff way back when I had a cd player. Now I think the only one I've got is the Super Roots 7 twelve (the one that's based on Where Were You by the Mekons) - which is an absolute monster.

I'm wondering about other industrial type stuff for some reason. There must be some drum mania in this genre surely? I used to have a CD by a TOPY spin off band called Crash Worship which was pretty great, but not the exact groove you are after I suspect.

The electronics are pretty subtle on it, just background colouration for the most part.

z'ev?

this one's a killer - layers of dissonant moog + jazz freakout percussion:

... and it's up on Mutant Sounds if you want to check it out:

Mutant Sounds would probably be quite a good resource for the more avant-garde end of this stuff, I think.

 

[IdleRich]

I know that one too - seemed a biti jazzy in the wrong kind of way for my liking. Might give it another go, my friend has it.

 

[DannyL]

Rich - have you seen this? 'Tis a moog blog.

I was just trying to remember the name of that Elektriktus record.

 

[bassbeyondreason]

How about the Brian Jones Jajouka LP? Obviously no synths, but loads of extreme flanging/phasing on wild ritual percussion.

"Rich - have you seen this? 'Tis a moog blog."

No, but I have now thanks.

"How about the Brian Jones Jajouka LP? Obviously no synths, but loads of extreme flanging/phasing on wild ritual percussion."

This is something I've been meaning to check out for a while actually. Cheers for reminding me.

This is a good (modern) example of the sound I mean. There are better tracks on the ep but they all have this great mixture of rough psychey electronics over live and raw drums. Such a compelling combination for me.



Seems like it ought to be easy to do well but although everyone likes the good ones there are surprisingly few examples. I think that the best ones (particularly that Michael Bundt thing) still sound like they came from outer-space even though they're old hat now.

Saw a copy (actually two copies, I think) of the Brian Jones LP in Out on the Floor in Camden last week. Pricey though - one was £60. I *may* still have a tape of this album someone - I did have it and used to play it a lot. in fact they are playing as part of the Meltdown Festival on the 22nd, I believe - Dissensus outing?

 

[DannyL]

19th actually - http://meltdown.southbankcentre.co....-of-jazz-to-come-master-musicians-of-jajouka/

Anybody game?

*Splutter*
CURSE MY PROVINCIAL POVERTY!

 

[DannyL]

Do you know Chrome, Rich? I brought "Half Machine Lip Moves" last night, I think you'd like if you don't know it. Has synths, distortion and frantic drumming.

 

[IdleRich]

I've got that Blood On The Moon album (that's the band right?) - reminds me a lot of DAF. Pretty full on I seem to remember.
