Todays Manna goes out to those arch tech-haters and unrepentant musical luddites par excellence:  Falling Down & JB.  (Though it's possible they may have it already.)

Massacre - Killing Time (.zip)



Massacre is a band "fronted" by guitarist Fred Frith, with Bill Laswell on bass, and Fred Maher on drums. Great experimental jazz/rock from New York City. Their debut, "Killing Time" is a classic.

Should appeal to both, and anyone who likes it out there.

But never mind all that!  It's Friday night!

Not particularly cerebral, just banging techno (slight tribal elements) - this is extremely busy music.  Steer clear and hold your peace if that bothers you.

[philo]

from the techno front,
just rediscovered this beauty from the hard drive.

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=197411252

search for more music by them. some good stuff

[Houdini]

I've been Desert Island-ed before.  Mostly it was shit Goa Trance . . .



If I was asked what I would take w/ me, 50% would be rock-esque Industrial music; 25% Techno & 25% Classical music.  In that 50% I would take one LP from the Polish band Job Karma - whom I just can't get enough of.  It's not Coil - it's less pretentious than that; it's not Throbbing Gristle - it's far more accessible.  I think it's beautiful music.

Music lovers might want to put some weight behind the Open Rights Group who are contesting proposals to extend copyright from 50 to 95 years in the EU.

(Just posted a link to an old Two Lone Swordsmen mix in the new TECHNO TECHNO TECHNO thread which some may enjoy).

[butters]

Just discovered this and it is sublimely beautiful - if I had to pick a sound track for swans swimming in slow motion then this would be it! It consists of looping horns with very subtle drones underpinning it in a really minimalist way but it still sounds totally classical - I will say again that it is just stunningly beautiful so check it out.

I've been slack on the music front of late, not got much new stuff due to almost totally full hard drives across 3 PCs (am saving up for a long term storage solution) but managed to squeeze a couple more on:



Clark :: Turning Dragon :: (Warp)

Preview at Bleep

Yummy harder edged techno - some amazing beats and loops in there.




Kettel :: Whisper Me Wishes :: (Dub)

Preview at Bleep

IDM i guess but covering a huge array of sounds from classical to acid - really nice to sit back and listen to, quality stuff

[Houdini]

Turning Dragon is good shit.  Well worth paying for on plastic.

From being a MASSIVE fan as a teenager, by 2001 I'd totally abandoned The Charlatans. After spending the start of new millenium exploring new directions (Tim Burgess' own arsehole, by all appearances) with falsetto and reggae, I guess I can't have been the only one.

Well it seems they've gone a way and had a long hard look at themselves. With no publishing contract and dissappointing offers they have recorded a new album and, remarkably, are giving it away for free here.



Even more remarkable its brilliant! They've clearly gone back to their roots whilst listening to a lot of New Order along the way. Opener Oh Vanity! swirls in, according to one reviewer, 'like Neu covering Booker T', and motorik beats and Peter Hookesque basslines feature throughout. I'm not sure whether I'd call it their best album, bit weak in the middle, but its as good as anything they've done. Worth checking out, fuck you can listen once then delete it...

Interesting times for the music industry...

or not. Charlatans sounds intriguing. Noticed they are touring as well.

Anyone heard the new Guillemots album?

Yep. Looking forward to their debut. Also from Scotland are The Twilight Sad - better than the name suggests.

" Here's one of the most obscure Wire related releases. This gem was released by Wire specialists WMO in 2001 and it's already out of stock. Music is eperimental folk ,was originaly released in 1982 (partially) and was produced by Gilbert & Lewis. Concerning Micael O' Shea:
"Michael O'Shea was an eccentric, maverick world musician. He was a virtuoso of the Mo Cara, a 17-string instrument he invented and built, on which he created hauntingly melodic works combining elements of Celtic and Asian musics. Although primarily a busker, in the early '80s he enjoyed a brief legitimacy, releasing one album and even opening for Ravi Shankar at London's Royal Festival Hall.
O'Shea was born in Northern Ireland in 1947 but grew up in the Irish Republic. Keen to see the world, he joined the British Army at 17. However, military life didn't suit him; he went AWOL for two years and was court-martialed. On release from jail, he moved to London where he gravitated toward the folk scene, mixing with musicians like Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger.
In the mid-'70s, he went to Bangladesh as a volunteer, returning with dysentery, hepatitis, and a sitar. While convalescing he learned to play the sitar and then busked around Europe and the Middle East. In France he traveled with an Algerian who played an instrument known as the zelochord. O'Shea hit on the idea of building a hybrid of a zelochord, a hammered dulcimer, and a sitar; the result was the Mo Cara (Gaelic for "my friend").
Back in London, O'Shea busked with the Mo Cara, the bizarre sight and sound of the instrument instantly attracting crowds. In early 1980, he was spotted by a talent scout for Ronnie Scott, who was fascinated by the Mo Cara's mix of East Asian, South Asian, and Irish sounds. Scott offered the Irishman a residency in his club's prestigious Downstairs Room and became his agent. This led to his opening for Ravi Shankar at the Royal Festival Hall and he even played on a Rick Wakeman project, although his contribution was subsequently discarded.
Despite encouraging signs, O'Shea's career did not take off and he returned to busking. While playing in Covent Garden, O'Shea was noticed by Tom Johnston, an early member of The The. Johnston introduced O'Shea to Wire's Bruce Gilbert and Graham Lewis, who asked him to record for their Dome label. Due to his previous disappointments, O'Shea was ambivalent about others' efforts to launch his career and was convinced that his music was best-suited to spontaneous street performance. An invitation to Blackwing Studio was nonetheless extended. A year later, he appeared unannounced, saying his horoscope augured well, and recorded the album.
In 1982, O'Shea worked with Tom Johnston and Matt Johnson on a projected album, but nothing came of it. Later that year, he collaborated on two tracks for John Denver Stanley's Content to Write in I Dine Weathercraft. In 1985, he played on the title track of Larry Cosgrave's Easter Island. (Material from the Stanley and Cosgrave projects appeared on the 2002 CD reissue of O'Shea's self-titled album.)
In the late '80s O'Shea became involved in the burgeoning rave scene and rarely performed. In December 1991, he was struck by a van in London and died two days later.

Follow the link.  The DL is there to be found.  I'm listening now.  Sublime, neo-folk.

Great shout there.  That essential mix is utterly awesome.  I've been playing it regularly for  over four years now and it still makes me very happy.  In fact I downloaded it onto my stereo just a couple of days ago so that I could play it even more frequently.  If people haven't got it, go get it now you won't be displeased (unless of course you really don't like hiphop, scratching and general cut up shit). 

Oh yeah Slack---line, more Yoda stuff would be appreciated if possible.
