Need some new tunes, any recomendations?
-
have you got RJD2 - Deadringer album? i'm listening to that at the mo and its flava.
-
Not particularly new but that DJ Format presents A Right Earful is quality. And the Beastie Boys new one. Best thing they've done in years and feels proper old-skool. :D
-
Dave - had it for a while. he's got some two other albums out - since we last spoke and loose ends which are both good but not quite as good as deadringer. that smoke and mirrors track plus work and june are fuckin awesome ...
carnage - new beasties is mint, gonna have a look for that dj format thing
-
i agree those tracks are mint - in fact theres not a weak track on the album.
i'm also currently listening to J5 - Power In Numbers, and GZA - Liquid Swords.
-
Ah P1mpmeister Dave :guns: , you could be the person whose advice I'm looking for....
I'm after some funky beat-driven hip-hop. Don't mind if it's gangsta or non-gangsta (UK stuff would be good), but it's gotta have strong beats....but I'm not really into the abstract experimental stuff. Currently I've really liked: Aspects, Ugly Duckling, J5, Mark B & Blade and older Ludacris. I guess a cross between J5 and Aspects/MB&B would be the most appealing...
Any thoughts??
-
Cofe is probably better kwalified than me to give you the 4-11 on this.
I really like DJ Format - Music For The Mature B-Boy (http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B00008NESP.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg)- thats british.
Also if you've not got it you need to own Snoop Doggy Dogg - Doggystyle. Regardless of what you like.
-
And to get the most out of your tunes on the portables with the least interference, check these mofo's out. Bit of a fat price tag but worth it.

-
As an aside, can anyone recommend some decent earphones that will stay in place whilst running, etc?
-
Look no further Bubba - those puppies wedge in tighter than a G in Vanessa Feltz's backside. Proper earplugs.
-
i used to have the older model of these (http://www.dixons.co.uk/martprd/store/dix_page.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1223023116.1089710158@@@@&BV_EngineID=cccjadclmfljihgcflgceggdhhmdfhl.0&page=Product&sku=639051&category_oid=-9105&fm=8&sm=4&tm=undefined) - cos headphones alwasy feel like they're falling out on me even when walking to work etc. these ones stay in adn wern't too obtrusive. eventually the wire thing on one of them went but they're not expensive an the new ones are probably better.
-
Thanks lads - might just go for the 12.99 jobbies coz I've put my last pair through the wash 3 times already when I've left them in my shorts pockets :oops:
-
Alright guys, haven't been around for ages. Sacked in my job and been climbing for the past few weeks.
Anyway fresh beats!
I've been listening to
Rahzel - Rahzel's Greatest Knockouts
FabricLive 16 - Adam Freeland
DJ Rhettmatic - Exclusive Collection
City of God - Original Sound Track
Fingathing - Fingathing And The Big Red Nebula Band
Jazzy Jeff - Hip Hop Forever II (highly recommended to all the G's out there)
Lifestyles - compiled by Coldcut
Anybody in to RJD2, I would recommend trying to get hold of the Constant Elevation: The 'Say Word ' Mix. Its pretty hard to get hold of but worth it!
Oh and Five mixed by the Nextmen looks pretty good. I'm sure you'd appreciate that Jim!
EDIT
Whilst just looking through my CD's I'd recommend you also have a look at:
Thievery Corporation - The Outernational Sound (new mix)
La Funk Mob - The Bad Seeds 1993 - 1997
THIS IS A MUST HAVE
Hanzo Steel - Kill Bill Mixes Vol 1
-
For your british Hip Hop needs, may i suggest checking out Scorsayzee, from Out Da Ville and Klashnekoff from Terra Firma. Bit more gangsta than your average british fare, Murda by Klashnekoff is one of my tunes of the moment.
-
Both DJ Format suggestions are on the money and quality, as for fingathing i prefer superhero music, both are quality tho. Some quality British production shit try aims stuff (particularly cold water music, fuckin awesome).
DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist - Brainfreeze
Latest blackalicious album (forget name and tis upstairs, cant b arsed to go look.
Just been introduced to Red Snapper, quality jazzy, drum n' base style stuff.
Try the Funky fresh few as well pretty cool (and my avatar)
But the greatest dark album of all has to be DJ Shadow - endtroducing
Sorry if u kno all those already, tis all i can think of at the min :roll:
-
Just came accross DJ Shadow - In Tune and on Time. It's really good. It's a slightly different view on some of his tunes (remixes by himself). Well worth checking out and available on the BT network from you know where...
Check it!
-
Just picked up the Freestylers album - 'Raw as fuck'
Probably old news but if you ain't heard it, check it out- tis quality.
-
Mozart's Mass in C Minor
-
In a similar vein to the Mozart suggestion above - i.e. different to the rest of the suggestions :roll: I thoroughly recommend
Kirsy McGee - Honeysuckle Rose + Frost
Quite like Nick Drake but a woman plus she's from Manchester
-
Just listening to the Chuck D set on Radio 1's "listen again" thingy on Radio 1 - classic tune fest - nice :D
-

the dvd cd set excellent. i was at brixton gig the night it was recorded. :8)
-
Just to make sure this stays on track i.e. hip-hop or breaks related :wink:
Recently got Aspect - Mystery Theatre and Beastie Boys - To The 5 Boroughs. Mystery Theatre is okay, I mean pretty good UK hip-hop but not as quirky or sharp as Correct English. To The 5 Boroughs on the other hand, well I really liked it. Haven't paid much attention to the Beasties but this has plenty of fat beats. Definitely one for cruising around Sheffield's current selection of roadworks and fucked-up one way systems :o
And on D's recommendation, I've order the DJ Format CD.
-
hmmm, aspects are a weird one - i didn't rate correct english that much and have since avoided em. other stuff on the same label is good though like One Cut. plus if you like that shit check out pr0n Theatre Ushers.
was in fopp and noticed Skinnyman has released a walbum, heard a track on the wireless last night and it was megadope so will probs invest. anyone who's heard fingerprints of the gods will seriouly experience this guys abilities.
also, finally got hold of common's 'one day it'll all make sense'. this is simply excellent.
-
Ah actually Cofe, now that you're here and apparently "better kwalified than [dave] to give me the 4-11", could you have a look at my request on page 1 and give me some ideas if you have some, cheers :8)
-
saw a documentary on Skinnyman on BBC3 a while back - what I heard sounded good - pretty gritty stuff.
If I'm right his album's called 'Council Estate of Mind' - was gonna nip out and buy whilst on lunch.
-
hmmm, not sure about that, i certainly listen to a lot less 'south central LA' shit than david. i'd consider (in no particular order):
Nas - Illmatic (not judge him on his recent stuff this is ace)
common - one day it'll all make sense
skitz - countryman (british)
black star (mos def and talib kweli) - more chilled: dinner party hip-hop
rawkus soundbombing 2 is a BIG album
phi life cypher's first album, dunno the name
GZA - liquid swords for some ver dark beat heavy stuff (don't buy any onf the RZA's albums - they're pretty whack)
methodman and redman - blackout (don't judeg redman on the christina bollocks and the other shit he's done)
saian supa crew (french) - 1st album (blue n yellow cover) try and get the one with extra tracks as it has an amazing extra tune
most of that shit is a few years old but to be honest its better cos theres so much shit around at the moment.
it's hard to think when i'm slowly dying in an office - i'll have a think and get back to you. word.
-
black star (mos def and talib kweli) - more chilled: dinner party hip-hop
Quite drum and bassy as well in places.
rawkus soundbombing 2 is a BIG album
Found this a bit relentless - must listen to vols 1 and 3 as well since they're on the hard drive.
-

boy, it is relentless - i thought i'd offer the full spectrum though. we had it on full whack the other week while cruising up the pass in glorious weather... nice.
1 and 3 are a bit whack although 1 does feature mos def's universal magnetic.
-
word up, time to lizzay and plizzay with Dr Drizzay...my selecshaan be:
Jeru the Damaja - Wrath of the Math (pretty hard to get hold of nowadays)
Gang Starr - Moment of Truth
Nas - Illmatic, though 'It was written' is worth a listen, as are the DJ Premier produced tracks off 'I am...'
Dre - The Chronic (obvious - you must own this if only for 'Nuthin' but a G thang' in the car on a sunny day)
Snoop - Doggystyle (ditto)
Kanye West - The College Dropout
Roots Manuva - Run Come Save Me
Biggie - Ready to Die
Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai soundtrack (produced by the RZA)
Mobb Deep: The infamous...
Wu Tang Clan - Enter the Wu Tang (classic)
If you're gonna get Redman, get 'Dere iz a darkside', not 'Doc's da name' cos the latter is pony.
-
Mobb Deep: The infamous...
amazing.
on the nas 'illmatic' thing - you'll listen to it and realise just how much other shit samples it.
-
i bought Illmatic tother week -its so fly.
-
it's defo the best choice of all the Nas albums, i mean:
"i rap for listeners, bluntheadz, fly ladies and prisoners..."
"explore rap, and tell me Nas ain't all that..."
when has someone like, say, Puffy ever dropped anything like that??
Did you get Illmatic reissue wid the extra tracks? There's one called 'Star Wars' which is da bomb.
Lately he's gone off the boil a bit, seems to have 2-3 good tracks per album IMHO, though "Life we chose" off "Nastradamus" is worth the price of the CD alone. For real.
Also, forgot to mention the first Jurassic 5 album!
-
Did you get Illmatic reissue wid the extra tracks? There's one called 'Star Wars' which is da bomb.
i just got the standard version, cos it were cheap.
-
i know you grimy Dave, put the 817 on its ass wid a soulseek flava...you won't regret it - it's the first hiphop tune i ever heard which uses the word 'unadulterated'.
The man is (or at least was) a genius!
-
Jeru the Damaja - Wrath of the Math (pretty hard to get hold of nowadays)
It's on Soulseek...
...I'm going through you boys lists coz I know fuck all about hip hop and my iPod should be here on Satdy :D :D
-
Some amazin stuff that i recently became acquainted to... because of a mates iriver or summit (ipod type thingy)
Guru - jazzmatazz, quality beats over a jazzy soundtrack
Dennis Rollins - badbone, amazin acid jazz kinda flava, seen this boy live with some awseome skills
4Hero- creating patterns, bit weird and random but some amazin production stuff on it
Pete Rock- petestrumentals
gil scott heron - ghetto stuff
All highly recomended. Also check Kelis album kaleidoscope tis not bad
-
I know that none of you hip-hoppers (except, maybe Dense - who expressed an interest in my last music tip: Wilco) will bother :roll: , but I can't help but recommend Post to Wire by Richmond Fontaine.
Ultra classic Americana/Alt Country - it don't get any better than this. My new favourate album (until next week...).
-
I downloaded that Wilco but not listened yet. I've got a huge backlog of stuff to get through, but now we're allowed to listen to music at work I should be able to chomp through it.
-

maan, need to get myself hooked up this whole music piracy tip - I saw the Jeru CD about 6 years ago for £7 in a record shop, didn't buy it and that was it - never seen it since.
You may also want to seek out the 'Anotherlatenight' mix by Groove Armada, which has an acapella one of his ryhmes mixed into Ray Ayers
:dj:
-
word up, time to lizzay and plizzay with Dr Drizzay...my selecshaan be:
<snip>
Kanye West - The College Dropout
Just listening to this now, and I have to say it's fuckin' excellent.
-
shame about the skits though.
-
I love all that stuff.
-
Very different, but very good indeed; just listened to Four Tet - Rounds. Luscious electronica.
-
Very different, but very good indeed; just listened to Four Tet - Rounds. Luscious electronica.
true. also check out for a nice flava:
Andy Smith - The Document II
Hint - Portakabin Fever
also another bo british hip hop album is BlackWholestyles on Big Dada records - a collection of gemini twins, roots manuva, toastie taylor (ace voice) and saul williams (OK, not british...)
-
I found the Sublime Millenium Edition CD on sale the other day. Great stuff, but annoyingly censored. Probably why it was on sale.
-
censored music sucks ass.
-
Just listened to Orbital's Blue Album.
mmmmm.....s'okay, three tracks I rate, the rest I could take or leave. Have never been an enormous fan of theirs really, though Belfast is superb.
-
not forgetting lush 3-1,3-2,impact, nearly every track on snivilization, the box and a couple of good other tracks that I can't rememeber
-
Yo. If you want to check out another Nas album worth bending your ears around, get NastraDOOMous - Remixes by the man, MF Doom. Should be available on all good music stealing software.
Oh and the Madvillain album, Madvillainy (Doom by another pseudonym). think i have mentioned these before, but sooo good.
-
yeah, i second the nastradoomus album. And whilst we're on the topic of remix albums, get The White Albulum mixed by Kno (of cunninlynguists). All the music was completely re-written, track orders changed, and it might even be better than the original!
-
Just listening to Orbital's last ever set which is pretty cool
-
They said the Glasto set was the last one...then the T in the Park one...then the John Peel one...!
They just can't stop. Wonder what they're going to do now?
I've currently got on: Fabio & Grooverider at Drum and Bass Arena 2004 - quality so far.
Was listenting to Dead Prez - Get free or die trying in the car on the way to work - it's ok, a bit blunt and in your face at times and I don't subscribe to their whole theory that the crack epidemic rife in certain US black communities are instigated and controlled by the white government. Conspiracy theory imho.
-
That Fabio & Grooverider ones good. Or should I say the Grooverider one is. The Fabio mix is a little soft for me.
Good track that Puppermaster one, sampling 'Predator'. Nice.
-
got the Skinnyman album friday. Three words: Oh. My. Gosh.
Was anticipating good things after seeing the documentary and hearing snippets of his tracks but the album blew me away. The guy's lyrics are so slick (my particular favorite being his description of himself as "the dogs knackers") and the production is slick, but keeps a grimy edge.
Get this people - you need it in your life.
p.s - any of you soulseek mofos should search for tracks called "Life in my rhymes", "Council estate of mind", "Love's gone from the streets" or "Put in the work" - should give you a good flava.
-
Just got hold of the Mylo album which is kinda Royskopp meets Daft Punk.
They're doing a gig up here next month - anybody seen them live?
-
Never heard of Mylo 'til your post but I like Royksopp and some Daft Punk stuff - will hopefully soulseek it and skinnyman tonight...
Been getting a lot of the old solid steel (ninja tunes) mixes from soulseek too - they're all worth a listen.
-
Try for Evil 9's new album as well, if you like your breaks - Really good.
-
The Mylo thing is very good, but not as good as Royksopp imho - need another listen probably....now onto the Skinnyman...
-
(http://www.selfdestructmusic.com/Resources/low36a.jpeg)
The Skinnyman is awesome - get it now.
-
Yessir!
P.S. Forgot to mention one of my favourite hip-hop albums:
P Money - Big Things
New Zealand producer working with a variety of NZ MCs - very good stuff, strong beats, immediately catchy tunes, and a fair variety from the epic to the funky.
-
Ok, next on the list - I love my iPod :D
Kenny Larkin - The Narcissist
Top quality Detroit techno from the multi-talented Mr Larkin (he's a stand-up comic as well!).
Lo-fi, almost chillout - slow 'n funky 'n nice.
-
One for the hip hop fans:
Ratatat - Remixes
The equation is simple: take hits by respected commercial MCs (G Unit, Kanye West, Missy Elliott, Jay-Z, Wu-Tang Clan), take away their beats, and add the trademark Ratatat rock-meets-electronic production. The huge analog synths and stabbing electric guitar are still present, but this time around greater emphasis is placed on hip-hop based synth beats.
...
Yet the low-key, laid back vibe on G Unit's “Stunt 101†and Kanye West's “Get Em High†is the most surprising combination because: a) it makes G Unit actually sound sweet; and b) Ratatat create a better beat than my hip-hop savior KWest on his own song!
Very interesting.
-
I don't know why i end up recommending hip hop, because my music collection is probably less than 15% hip hop, but...
9th Wonder - God's Stepson
it's good. get it.
-
Anybody got/heard of DJ Qbert's *Wave Twisters* - ? A mate has recommended it but am struggling to find it both in shops or online, hurmpf :cry:
-
anyone had a sneaky download of the new prodigy albumn yet? i have, fink its alright - different but still bo.out in the shops next monday.
-
Have you tried Soulseek?
-
anyone had a sneaky download of the new prodigy albumn yet? i have, fink its alright - different but still bo.out in the shops next monday.
Heard a couple of tracks. Sounds good, maybe a bit more old skool than the last. But it doesn't sound like it took 7 years odd to make! :lol:
-
to be honest im glad its been years. i'm convinced that any albumn brought out as few years after FOTL would have been punky shit. and all the hype and expectation would have made it even more dissapointing. this time round many people anr't expecting as much, and I for one was pleasantly surprised. parrently its all done on Reason this time - you can tell by the sound its not all done on ataris and 303s.
remember baby's got a temper a few years ago was shite, well he'd written some more tracks at that time, scrapped them al when that track bombed ans started afresh.
-
parrently its all done on Reason this time - you can tell by the sound its not all done on ataris and 303s.
Oh yeah, forgot about that - might inspire me to try to learn Reason properly again.
-
did you hear the Liam Howlett mix? (think it's called the dirtchamber sessions or summat)
it's f-f-f-f-fresh!
-
The one that's a few years old? If so then yeah, liked that one a lot.
-
The Skinnyman album really is very very good. If you haven't got it already then get it. Amazing beats with brilliant lyrics.
-
Slicker - We all have a Plan
Yuk, self-indulgent, noodly and annoying. Not recommended imho.
-
Squarepusher - Ultravisitor
Yummy - from funky jazzy bass guitar tracks to the usual Squarepusher mentalist breakbeats. An interesting blend of instruments and electronics.
One of the few people imho who can pull off the Aphex style mix of beautiful sounds and mental beats.
If you like Aphex Twin, have a listen to this.
-
Thought I'd recommend something a little different to the normal hip hop/breaks.
Cat Power - What would the community think
Lush female vocals over acoustic guitar. Sometimes sounds quite dark and sinister. Well worth it if you like Nick Drake etc.
Will Oldham - Any album
Better known as Bonnie Prince Billy, all of Will oldhams stuff is good. Really interesting character, once I saw him live I appreciated his music on an altogether different level.
Goran Bregovic - Ederlezi
Eastern european gypsy type music. This album is probably one of the more accessible. Definitely worth a listen if you are into folk (sometimes fused with crazy beats).
-
cat power - now you're talkin
will oldham - never heard of him but he's got a good name
-
I'll second Will Oldham/Bonnie Prince Billy
I see a darkness
Ease down the road
Master and everyone
- all excellent.
Undeniably dark, yet occasionally comic musings of the ultimate literate hillbilly, set against a wonderfully serene, atmospheric, lo-fi alt. country backing.
Haven't got very latest releases yet.
-
Got hold of one of the latest Fabric collection releases last night by *Aim*, must say tis very cool, a definite rowie recommendation :)
-
The Skinnyman album really is very very good
it's a good job i'm not gonna be in a car with you for 3 months. stuck with a couple of halfs of songs cos they'd been recommended. never have my eardrums been subjected to such a barrage of shite. yeh, tell it how it is skinny.
-
well, my taste in music is pretty mixed. :lol: But even though I made that recommedation which you thought was shit, I also recommended Cat Power/Will Oldham/Goran Bregovic which you will like.
and what's this about a car for 3 months... I wish I could afford a car. I'm too skint so it's back to hitching and relying on climbers to drive me around.
-
Jack Johnson - Any Album
super chilled acoustic guitar stuff with upbeat surf flavours (I love this pretentious music review shit). Also collaborated with "G-Love and Special Sauce" (who are also worth checking out) who are rather more funky. Jack Johnson only has a couple of albums out, but you can get his live shows from various BT sites, which are also really good. A great song to get is his cover of Jimmy Buffet's - Pirate looks at 40 (aka. mother ocean). Brilliant. [/b]
-
yeh, like cat power not heard the others yet. thought you were gettin a car for 3 months in states wi those boys? like the new signature :D
-
Jack Johnson - Any Album
word to that. might also be worth checking out Jackson Jeffrey Jackson from the Fast Show, he doesn't blow, he sucks :lol:
-
word to that. might also be worth checking out Jackson Jeffrey Jackson from the Fast Show, he doesn't blow, he sucks :lol:
With, as always, Clam, on bass.
Nice.
Seriously though Jack Johnson is nice chilled stuff. Toured live with Ben Harper quite a lot. Must have been good to see.
-
on a similar chilled flava is Elliott Smith - well worth gettig hold of some of his stuff.
-
Yonderboi - shallow and profound
brilliant album
-
Ben Harper and Tom Fruend - Pleasure and Pain
This is the album by the two of them, and NOT the song by Ben Harper. This album is early, and features brilliant guitars from both of them, and wonderful lyrics by Ben Harper. Even a good bit of slide guitar to whet your appetite.
-
If you like a bit of funky slide check out Robert Randolph and the Family; Live at the Wetlands or Unclassified. Triv Fact; he's the guitarist in O Brother where Art thou.
-
Still listening to this and it gets better n' better....
http://www1.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?ctx=281;1;-1;-1&sku=197722
Check track 3 - Good stuff......
-
Yo.
Guns don't kill people: rappers do...
http://www.youknowsit.co.uk
-
Jack Johnson - Any Album
"G-Love and Special Sauce" (who are also worth checking out) who are rather more funky.
Hmm, better try getting hold of Jack Johnson then. I'll second the G.Love flava- the third album was a bit w*nky but 'Philadelphonic' brings back the funk.
My mate got G.Love's harmonica when it dropped off the stage at the Leadmill in Sheff, their first UK tour I think....
-
Just bought two new albums both different both very fly
the new Roots album - tipping point. Very good and will be seein them at Leeds on Sunday :8)
And the killers album also very good, although drops off a bit towards the end
-
Phew! Managed to save my music collection from a complete hard drive failure.....
Finally got round to listtening to that Wilco thing that Pantontino is always bigging up. Not really my sort of thing but I thought a few tracks were really good.....but the rest left me a bit cold, though I was listening in the car so could probably do with another go in better surroundings.
Currently on is Pangeia Instrumentos by Victor Gama which is bizarre for a Rephlex relase. Well, most Rephlex shit is bizarre, but it's usually electronic mayhem, whereas this is all African music on specially mad accoustic instruments. Odd, but strangely engaging.
-
the gilles peterson in brazil double CD thing is bo. although he does have a tendency to be a shit DJ when i've been at a club n he's on, errr, except once, when he was good.
-
I've got the Victor Gama album too, I like it but you've got to be in the mood, can be hard work at times. Beautiful story though, think one of the intsruments is an abandoned soldier's helmet that he turned into a guitar.
Also I too would recommend Bonny Prince Billy, although it isn't the happiest of music to say the least , brilliant song writer though.
Might have to get the Cat Power album you recommended though Keith
-
fabric live - adam f and dj spinbad are both awesome.
dj krush - zen and code 4109 are similarly good.
dj shadow & cut chemist - product placement. very cool
eric morillo - subliminal sessions
global u/ground 24/7 - lee burridge
divine styler - wordpower 2
mezzanine de l'alcazar - all 3 albums are equally good
kool keith - sex style
james lavelle - global u/ground romania hasn't left my changer since i bought it months ago!
-
With you on the James Lavelle Romania thing. The first cd in particular being fantastic.
How different is the shadow/ cut chemist product placement cd to the brainfreeze stuff? Incidently having seen shadow live i do believe it may have been one of the most impressive things i have ever seen, increadible. If you get the chance you should see him.
Just bought the new Ozomatli album as well - street signs, energetic and uplifting as ever, although probably not as good as embrace the chaos, but that may change with a few more listens
-
Word Laurie, is new Ozomatli album worth spending my not so hard earned cash on? and also agree with cofe that gilles peterson is indeed wank live, so him at elbow rooms in leeds and bored me stupid :roll:
-
product placement is supposed to be the sequal to brainfreeze. it's along the same lines - lots of rare tunes and awesome feats of turntablism.
havent seen shadow live. someday...
-
Boards of Canada - Geogaddi
Awesome electronica. Superb.
-
Mmmm. BOC, now there is a quality outfit.
Got to mention Aphex Twin- Drukqs again, gave it another play last night for the first time in ages. Sheer brilliance.
-
At last BOC rear their beautiful head! Absolute waddage. You got any of the other stuff Bubba? I did have it but it all melted, but I should be getting pretty much every album on a big CD off a mate pretty soon, if you want a copy.
For those who have it, there are several BOC tunes on "A Film By Some Climbers", from the album Music Has The Right To Children. The Heartbeat City bit and the 'wrong' numbers tune over Obsession Fatale.
-
I always thought BOC were a guitar band for some reason :?
But yeah, really really good stuff - just got hold of Music Has The Right To Children so will be listening to that later today.
-
Get hold of Twoism too, it's a mini-album by comparison to the two already mentioned, but has some very fine tunage on it. It's been re-released, prior to that it was very rare and reputedly selling for 800 squid on eBay.
There's also another CD, I don't think it has a name, but it's on SKAM records, comes in a pale blue carboard sleeve, and is kwality...
-
Currently listening to the fairly rare "A Few Odd Songs", some real classics. One stroke of comedy genius is "Blockbusters", with a bizarrely rearranged set of samples from....yep, you guessed it!
"I'll have a 'W' please Bob...."
-
But yeah, really really good stuff - just got hold of Music Has The Right To Children so will be listening to that later today.
don't listen to it on a train journey at night/in winter...... it is amazing though.
on the subject of aphex twin, i rate the Richard D. James album as his finest work. just ridiculously good.
also check out the first two lone swordsmen album - can't remember the name but rreeettt good.
-
also check out the first two lone swordsmen album - can't remember the name but rreeettt good.
Which reminds me- I listened to Sabres of Paradise-Sabresonic 2
again the other day. Smokebelch (Beatless mix) is proper bo. I must hear the two lone swordsmen soon....
-
on the subject of aphex twin, i rate the Richard D. James album as his finest work. just ridiculously good.
Yeah, Girl/Boy song is brilliant.
I can't really fault any Aphex stuff - saw him live at the Arches in Sheff a few years back when he was doing the Richard D James stuff and it was an awesome night. Funny though, he just sat at the front hunched over a laptop with a big cigar - not really an electrifying stage presence!
He played the Orbit back in the early 90's when it was a happy happy rave club and apparantly actually had people crying with his terror sounds :lol:
-
But yeah, really really good stuff - just got hold of Music Has The Right To Children so will be listening to that later today.
Just listened to this through headphones - top drawer, one of the best Electronica albums I've heard.
-

DJ Heather :: Essential Mix - 14.12.2003
(http://www.nocturnalmagazine.net/images/djs/djheather200.jpg)
High quality, pumping Chi-house.
I find it really hard to find house mixes to download that aren't commercial cheese-fests and this sort of thing makes a nice change.
-
Björk - Medulla
Lordy - this is really strange. It's nearly all just vocals (even the beats are made by human's and then re-programmed), and sounds like demented chamber music or something.
Dunno what to say - unique and interesting and I think it'll grow on me.
-
You got to love Bjork... her Breezeblock is one of the best.
-
And for something slightly different...from the deep dark past of 1973:
John Martyn - Solid Air
Folky, bluesy and jazzy - A real classic, which I've only just rediscovered after not hearing it for about 10 years. Really really good.
-
On the subject of Sabres of Paradise...
Try to find Pink And Poisonous, a compilation from the SOP offshoot label, Sabrettes. It's got a spider on the front cover. Absolutely stonking techno that escalates perfectly from dubby hippy stuff at the start to hard-as-nails industrial stuff by the end.
-
I've got a Sabres 12" white label that's autographed by Mr Weatherall :D
-

Got this last year. Tis v good. Please don't use the J word though, i'm with Jony on that one :wink: .
-
anyone else like Tool or Mortiis? :hidesofa:
-
Never heard of them. I suspect they aren't a patch on John Martyn - WADDAGE.
-
(http://www.mortiis.com/new/gfx_main/no_flash_bg.jpg)
mortiis does kind of technoey downbeat rock stuff.
the only song u may have heard is - scar tek/parasite god
pretty good.
-
Ay up Dave how long have been wearing that make up?
-
(http://www.mortiis.com/new/gfx_main/no_flash_bg.jpg)
That is one ugly muthafucka. It's not a good look.
-
Ay up Dave how long have been wearing that make up?
why i aughta....
-
okay what about interpol?
took me awhile to get into it but they're now one of my fav bands ever. :P
-
I'd say you'd have lost any credibility you had already with the Mortiis confession, FOAM, but....ah....ummm....did you have any already?? :P
-
errrrrm... between perving on me neighbours niece, confusing havin a shit and havin a wank, ballsing up a wind up for the cocktalkers, wearing socks with climbing shoes, downgrading problems i haven't done, stereotyping the black race as a bunch of gun toting mofos and having a fairy as an avatar for a period of time...
i'd agree i probably didn't have any to loose in the first place.
in fact i could probably admit to enjoying animal pr0n and not sink any further in sum people's opinion :byebye: :crying:
-

:lol:
Ah well, it can only get better :lol:
-
You've lost me...sink?
aaahhhh... someone else who appreciates beastbitch.com :wink:
-
The local Fopp Records (an excellent small chain btw)is moving so have a fat sale on. Got the Ben harper and the Innocent Criminals "Live From Mars" double CD for £3. Good Deal. Top Tunes.
-
Going back to a early ninteys rave tip - anyone remember "Sams piano tape" that did the rounds in the mid ninetys. Mixed by a mate of mine in Manchester about 94, DJ Suni. Seemed very popular at the time with the Sheff climbing/rave crew.
Anyhows - dug it out on tape, complete with track listing an all.
What the 411 on getting it uploaded. Any good software about to clean up the sound qualidy.
I suppose a decent tape deck and amp would be a start - if so - anyone got one - bubs? (ive got a crappy old walkman at best).
Track listing to giv you and idea
OPEN SKIES - mellow flow
SY KICK - nasty remix
MC LETHAL - the rave digger
SMART E's - Sesame St remix
SY KICK - E-motion
NICK OD - Have you got anymore spam
D'CRUZE - World within a world
JEM 77 - forbidden planet
PRODIGY - one love remix
DANCE CONSPIRICY - Dub War
RACHEL WALLIS - Tell me why
SY KICK - music in the house
CRIMINAL MINDS - baptised by dub
SONZ OF A LOOP DE LOOP ERA - freedomism
N TRANCE - set you free
PRODIGY - one love
ACEN - trip to the moon
JONNY L - hurt you so
ELEVATION - can you feel it
FAMILY FOUNDATION - express yourself
KROME & TIME - the slammer
SMART E's - loose control
SHADES OF RYTHEM - extacy
NRG - feel the fury
PRODIGY - your love
SONZ of etc - Further out
SONZ etc - Peace and loveism
Cheesy but great fun :D
-
Yeah, that was a sweet tape :D
Would like another listen, not heard it for years.
You should be able to record straight onto a pc from the tape deck. You'll probably need to get a Y-lead to convert the tape deck phono leads into a single jack to fit the soundcard.
Then, just set your levels up and use something like soundforge to record it.
You can then mess with the levels in software to brighten it up. If there's a lot of noise/hiss etc then Dart Pro is apparantly pretty good for cleaning the sound up.
I've been meaning to dig out (hope I've still got it) and old Kenny Ken and Food Junky back to back tape from Vibealite which is shit hot, and the old skool community would love - so yeah, if you bring it up Sam I'll try to do the honours.
-
Just listening to that Miss Kittin - Electroclash Mix I downloaded off you Sam.....nice stuff - I love that sort of electro.
(http://stat.discogs.com/A/5593-002.jpg)
-
yeah - pretty sweet innit.
Was reading an interview with her in jocky slut. Was it the berlin stuff you where listening too. Some sort of old school refs in there (thinking of the "drugs work" track, cant think of who did the origional (same people as your Kirk - your son is dead????)
I'll bring the "sams mix tape" up sometime - and wot about DJ mek - is that uploaded anywhere.
-
ACEN - trip to the moon
thats a cracking tune!
-
It is a great tune - though I was never sure which one of the 1,000,000 different mixes I liked best....
-
I've just found out http://www.juno.co.uk/ does samples of most of their 14 trillion dance music records in stock.
Goodbye life..........
-
I've bought from juno in the past - good service, though not cheap...
-
rawkus soundbombing 2 is a BIG album
Found this a bit relentless - must listen to vols 1 and 3 as well since they're on the hard drive.
boy, it is relentless - i thought i'd offer the full spectrum though. we had it on full whack the other week while cruising up the pass in glorious weather... nice.
.
been listening to this at work this week - its tight, like a tiger.
-
For the people who liked Wilco, Jim O' Rourke, Will Oldham e.t.c. I went to see smog on the weekend - very good might buy one of their albums
-
Got Skinnyman's album in the post. Don't like it - his accent grates, the samples inbetween won't be funny for the second time. The beats are fine but I just don't like his voice...
Bleh.
-

Bleh.
Agree on the quotes, they are a bit of an 'ache but at least they're at the end of the tracks so you can skip 'em.
Totally disagree on the accent though, he sounds like where he's come from - I know Mike Skinner gets stick for his accent, glad Skinny's keepin it r-r-r-real.
Has it stopped you getting to the lyrics? Think his rhymes are tight enough that the accent is kind of secondary...
-
the samples inbetween won't be funny for the second time.
If you find them funny then you may be missing the point of what he's trying to say.
-
"Entertaining/interesting/thought provoking" then :roll: .
-
although i too like to listen to 'music to kill people by' on a regular occasion the skits on the skinny joint are anoying as feeend says - i've gone through both this banger and the kanye west joint and deleted the skits on mi minidisc so i only have to listen to music on mi walk to work.
yours sincerely,
mr grumpy.
-
carl craig - landcruising
bought it the other day. wish i'd got it years ago...
-
I think the skinny-skits are cool - it gives a good insight into what it's like being on the recieving end of police/social services bullshit.
but anyway, I agree Yossarian - Landcruising is great. As is everything I've ever heard that has Carl Craig's name to it. He is one of the greats, and plays a fine set too.
-
Does anyone have Fabriclive: Adam Freeland ? is it any good?
does anyone have any of the Fabriclive discs and which would you recommend?
nice one
-
I think I got em all somewhere. The deadly avenger one is good and I thinkits the jaque le cont one I copied off me mate last week which is banging but maybe something else (defo jaque le cont tho)
-
word Jim, that avenger one is a big album, no mistake. Apparently Yoda is touring at the mo, culminating in a set at Fabric...hopefully a Yoda Fabriclive soon????
-
adam freeland fabriclive is really good. maybe one of the top 3. the plump djs one is probably my favourite, closely followed by the original james lavelle.
also on my list of most played is lee burridge - global underground 24-7...
-
does anyone have any of the Fabriclive discs and which would you recommend?
The new Aim one is well cool, will have to check which ones I have and like. I know James Lavelle is fine.
Has anyone got the new Mr Scruff Album "Keep it Solid Steel". I really like Trouser Jazz and wondered how it compares?
-
i love the adam freeland fabric. i think either that one or james lavelle are the best ones.
(john peel has to be the worst fabric absolute cack)
mr scruff solid steel is pretty good to as a mix cd
-
I like the Aim fabric L too, and I do quite like John Peel one, though not sure about the football skits. Some of the other F.L. I find a bit mixing by numbers, but like with any series, there's good and bad.
All the solid steel mixes are worth getting - there's loads online. And I've yet to hear a Mr Scruff mix that isn't excellent.
-
what style is aim, deadley avenger
-
On a hip-hop tip, just got Ugly Duckling, Journey to Anywhere. Excellent. :8)
Also just got Herbie Hancock, Mr Funk. Jazz funk. Nice. Watermelon man has one of the greatest intros ever, via cheeky panpipes. Oooww!
-
i got ugly duckling "the left overs " which is quite nice " but my best tune of theirs has to be eye on the gold chain
-
what style is aim, deadley avenger
the avenger mix is str8 hiphop / funk beats, a must have IHMO if only for the track with every Snoop/Dre hit mixed together in about 3 mins...my gosh.
Just got hold of Soundbombing II, quite strange - i had it off a mate about a year ago and thought it was wack, now it ain't come off the MD.
Wanna put a mention in for, well, anything by Rae and Christian...one of my favorites.
-

thats on the first yoda mix - word.
was listening to 2pac - all eyez on me last nite. its tha shiz.
-
i know that Common has been mentioned on here before - did a quick Amazon search, which album do you hiphop headz reckon i should start with?
Been getting into the last Jay-Z album - only got it cos it were on a deal with the Kanye West album, and I ain't generally got time for the Jigga Man but I gotta say it's pretty d.o.p.e...ain't got HOVA on it tho.
-
what style is aim, deadley avenger

northern sulphuric soul, quality
-
best mr scruff mix is the breezeblock set, been around for years now but still world class.
Eye on the gold chain - what a tune (yoda c&p vol 1) have never been able to find the song on its own tho.
Common album, 'one day it'll all make sense' or 'like water for chocolate' are good places to start, both very good albums
-
i love the adam freeland fabric.
Is this the same guy from 'Freeland' as in the folks that did that track 'i want your soul' - is the mix along a similar vibe ?
-
We went to the Mylo gig in Aberdeen last night. Definitely worth checking out if you like their stuff. Came across very well live. Some tour dates are here; http://www.ents24.com/web/artist/72533/Mylo.html as www.mylo.com doesn't seem to be working at the moment.
He comes from Skye; wonder if he knows SoC?
-
DJ Format is playing at tuesday club tonight in the union for anyone who's interested.
along with blak twang and andy H
www.tuesdayclub.com
Should be good
Word...
-
We went to the Mylo gig in Aberdeen last night.
Freeform Five were supporting and also tres funksome. Anybody else heard their stuff or an album??
-
Mylo's becoming a bit of a star now, isn't he/they? Which is it btw - is it one bloke and a synth or does he use a band?
-
I think Mylo is the bloke, Myles McInnes, and does most of the stuff on the album himself, but there were 3 of them with two guitars and two synths which they used among them at the gig.
-
My Chemical Romance - fuckin' class :D
song reccomendations - helena, i never told you what i do for a living, i'm ok and To the end.
-
whilst listening to jonthan ross being terry wogan[not that i listen to terry wogan i'll have you know]he played a they might be giants track every day.well this reminded me of my not so distant middle age!so i thought i might purchase a copy of one their cd's.
well as my usual record store of choise did'nt appear to stock their back catologue[sainsbury's]i thought i might have to hazard a trip in to the centre of hull to find a suitable store.
ha !there's an irony there.
well fortune saved me as the missus and daughter dragged me out on a shopping trip to york.well after the delight's of fat face and tammy,i was able to make my escape to the virgin mega store.
well after failing to find the cd's for the first 10 mins.they were upstairs.i purchased a they might be giants cd[the flood][what a set of tight twat's they don't give a pensioners discount]
i then spotted moby 18 in the sale no less.well i remember reading about him in the independant round at my mate bob's.him being a bit of an interlectual,well hes a house husband and is missus is a gp.well it reckoned this moby guy was all right.so i though fuck it caution to the wind,here goes 6 quid.
well bugger me i'm right impressed.
i realise this might not be that much of a fresh beat.but hell sometimes i forget where i live these day's. :wink:
-
Welcome to 2002. If you haven't got, or heard, Play (the previous album) you must be one of few people in the known universe. I prefer it to 18.
-
I've always had a soft spot for Moby since his old rave anthem, "Go" (Woodstock Mix is the fine one). He's a little strange, but a talent for sure and very prolific.
Check his discogs profile (http://www.discogs.com/artist/Moby) for info on all his releases.
-
Nextmen - Personal Golf Instruction.
word.
-
Good title but I wasn't very keen on the previous Nextmen album, decent but it didn't grab me at all...
-
never been that into nextmen, used to have one of their battle weapons that was ok. what y'all think about 2manyDJs ?
-
what y'all think about 2manyDJs ?
Nice enough to listen to and clever but it's got that slightly bland computer mixed feel - you can't beat live mixes imho.
That said, Osymyso's Introspection is wicked.
-
i should clarify: its not their own hip hop like amongst the madness. which was weak. its a really bo alternative mix which works a treat. its seriously worth checking out.
-
i've got a 2hour hangtheDJ mix (think it must have origniated from a radio broadcast) which is bo. its the one where after 2omins it goes quiet and theres the beach boys "god only knows" accapella over the top of Billy jean. genius.
-
they were amazing live, i agree with bubs that the mixes do have that automatically mixed feel to them, and the music sometimes goes up and down too much. but overall, they're bo
-
good party music. Have recently been listening to osymyso again - fuckin genius
-
Welcome to 2002. If you haven't got, or heard, Play (the previous album) you must be one of few people in the known universe. I prefer it to 18.
bugger me i thought it was still 1977.yep i am one of thefew people,does this mean i'm in some sort of cult. :cry:
-
What do peeps think of The Outlaws 'Too Many Fools Following Too Many Rules' - ? Or at least I think that's what it's called. The track list mix looks good!
-
Just downloaded the Outlaws thing.
Hmmmm.....pretty good - like 2 many djs sort of thing where they mix unusual stuff up, but I sure wouldn't buy it, it's not that great.
-
not new but i just downloaded cut la rocs - fsuk
completely excellent :8)
-
not new but i just downloaded cut la rocs - fsuk

Fook me, Cut La Roc! 'Hip Hop Bibbedy Bop'... Teks me back to the time I decided to be a world famous Disc Jockey and dance music producer :oops: I bought a pair of second hand belt drive turtables and a copy of 'Brassic Beats' on Skint....
I've been checking The Go Team! - Thunder Lightning Strikes this morning. I like it. I think.
Although it's not quite up to the Avalanches standard as touted on R1
-
Well just finished gettin skinnyman of UG on XOC and gotta say that Council Estate of Mind is one of the best albums i've heard all year! 'Fuck the Hook' is an absolutley brilliant tune. Anyone seen 'Made in Britain' the film from which all the skits r takin from?
Also, anyone got any otha reccomendations? stuff like skinnyman?
-
had the new rodney p banger on the train t'other day 'the future' is pretty good.
"you're yet to see the best of P"
-
Not party music, but I just had a first listen to Christmas by Old Man Gloom -f*kin Class A Ambient/Math Metal. Kind of like Neurosis meets The Swans meets Godspeed meets Slayer with some old analogue bubbling Hawkwind synth... :rocker: :rocker:
-
Somebody posted the link to this Paris based net-radio station on Metafilter:
http://radioabf.net/ (Alternative Bass Fréquence)
Good choice of tunes so far - just playing the superb "Get a Move On" by Mr Scruff. (Though there is a bit of cheese thrown in)
(Realaudio or Winamp feed including excellent quality 256k feed for those on fast connections)
and:
d-i-r-t-y.com (http://www.d-i-r-t-y.com/index2.html?first=http://www.d-i-r-t-y.com/mixes/)
for a great selection of realaudio mixes.
-
anyone know what the tune is on the section of dosage where dave grahem is climbing dual,
think it is bascially a remix of an old 9 lazy 9 tune by ninja tune with a load of vocals on top.
-
Not really to the taste of all the B-boy homies from the mean streets of sheffield, but been listening to the new Kings of Leon album "Aha Shake Heartbreak" for the last few days and its ace. Possibly not as accessible as "Youth and Young Manhood" but still excellent.
Might be up Si Panton's street though.
-
Am loving that King's of Leon album - a definite grower. Makes a change from the B-Boy homie crap i listen to a lot of the time!
-
various stuff by the plump dj's for me at the mo.
and maybe a bit of the crystal method , legion of boom.
much prefer kings of leon first album compared to the new one , but i aint played it that much
-
yo Bubba, was it you that was after a dead obscure Yoda Mix?
I just got a CD copy of an old Radio 1 One World mix from a while back off ebay, and there are folk on there selling loads of different mixes (stuff like "Jews Paid" etc)...thought that might help ya.
-
Not sure it was me but thanks anyway - I've got jews paid and jews paid two but not a 1world one... :)
-
Anyone got a copy of 'Unthugged'?
-
Anyone got a copy of 'Unthugged'?
Yeah, I got 2 - The Radio 1 essential mix one and the regular one. Good stuff.
-
the radio1 essential unthugged is ultra-bo! i've always got it on heavy rotation, and at a mighty 2 hours long is ace for long climbing roadtrips.
-
Its just a shame Pete Tongue keeps popping up on it with the radio bollocks. Jeru the Damaga with Crocketts theme mix is fuckin ace.
-
Anyone heard 'We Ain't the Same' by Ddouble Impactt?
UK hip hop. Absolute choonage.
-
this week i arv been mostly listening to handsome boy modeling school 'white people' (ver good), rjd2 'since we last spoke' (not as raw as first album, more tuny but good), boca 45 'pitch sounds' and mos def 'the new danger' (not as good as first album bit ok - too much rnb talky shit).
also aim 'fabric live'. quite good.
-
quite into james zabiela at the moment
-
This week I have mostly been listening to hardcore, trancecore, and gabber with the odd dash of techno and dnb for seasoning. Ah yes =).
-
gabba is just wrong :cry:
-
Plain wrong
-
When I worked at DR climbing walls in the early 90s we used to make resin panels with a gabba sound track. I reckon it upped production rates by about 30 percent!
On a different note I've been listening to the following:
The Be Good Tanyas - Blue Horse (download: Light enough to travel)
The Czars - Goodbye (download: Paint the Moon)
American Music Club - Love songs for Patriots (download: Another Morning, Patriot's Heart, Home)
-
Gabba/er... jeezus.
On my playlist of late ...
The Earlies 'These were': Really lush pop/electronica
Soundmurder 'Wired for sound' - Mashup ragga/d'n'b mix CD
Sir Richard Bishop: 'Improvika': Pretty out there fingerpick steel guitar improv
Refused; 'The Shape of Punk to Come'
Blind Lemon Jefferson: Black Snake Moan
PG Six; The Well of Memory (Panto - I reckon you'd like this one).
On a musical note, I have a spare ticket for the chalet I've booked for Slint's All Tomorrow's Parties at the end of Feb £125 if anyone's interested.
-
The first time I heard a Gabba track over a massive soundsystem (DJ Easygroove I think) it scared the shit out of me and blew my addled mind.
I've got a bit of early Dutch stuff on vinyl before it went too crazy but I soon lost interest in it, especially with all it's far-right skinhead connections...
-
Glad to see it is as unfashionable and disreputable as ever :crazy: :bash: :rocker2: .
P.S. I can't remember seeing any evidence of genuine far-right connections other than some fans sharing the same haircuts, at least not in this country.
-
More a Dutch thing I think.
-
got an interpol cd from a mate at christmas an its a cracker. sounds likje happier anthemic joy division. right up my street.

i have never been a big stanton warriors fan , but they are playing as dj set at my local in a couple of weeks, so i thought i would download some stuff.
i got an essential selection they did at sometime in 2004 , absoloutly first rate.
:8) :8) :8)
-
clm check out this:
Liars: They Threw Us All in a Trench and Stuck a Monument on Top
More Gang of Four than Joy Division, but nonetheless an awesome slab of driving punk-funk-existential-rage if ever I heard it.

I'll second that - I saw them live with the Sonics and they were reet good - top name for an album too.
-
Making a big break through in 2005 will be The Mooney Suzuki. Quality rock and roll, with songs about naked ladies, shaking bushes and being loose and juicy. Plus lyrics such as:
female voice 'would you like to slip into something more comfortable?'
male voice 'yeah, you!'
AWESOME!
Their current single, Alive and Amplified, which came out today can be heard occassionally on Radio 2 courtesy of Mr Radcliffe.
Go and buy it, it'll make your life compete............... until it doesn't!
-
Anyone heard the new Chemical Brothers album?
-

-
Anyone heard the new Chemical Brothers album?
Looks like it's only out on Monday http://www2.cd-wow.com/detail_results.php?product_code=15664
-
You can listen to samples of the Chemicals new album, Push The Button, on Sky Active A-Z. Just press the red button............
-
it is all over soul seek already . sounds ok to me , quite like it
-
have just picked up gangstarr - the ownerz. better late than never it seems! very cool..
plus the DITC album, which doesn't seem to be on release here anymore, and i had to pay through the nose for it secondhand. still, almost as good as the above, if not better. get yours especially.
-
This week I have mostly been listening to....Von Thronstahl
-
Fiend - you've been listening to some German guy coughing phelgm? (Note to self - avoid visiting Germany before revising O-level german)
This week i have accidentally found the shared folder containing almost a gig of mp3s. Which is good.
Highlights include MC Solaar feat Gangstarr - Le Tempo, Beastie boys - Sabotoge, Some other MC Solaar track with the Guru "le bien, le mal"?, Tupac - California Love and random tracks from the Freestylers, Swayzak, Beck, and loads of Bob Dylan, Manu Chao, The Pogues, Bob Marley and the Clash.
Also there's a collection of theme tunes - The A Team, the Muppets, Starsky and Hutch (bow-wow-chicka-chicka) and the DUKES OF HAZZARD
-
Erm, this week I 'ave been mostly listening too..
Comets on Fire: Blue Cathedral. Roaring psychedelia/krautrock.. pretty good.
Papa M's singles from 2003
The Necks: Mosquito - 2 hour long tracks the Necks - great driving soundtrack music.
Firehose - If'n
Wilco - Ghost whateverit's called: Brilliant, but the best track (spider somthing or other) has a riff that sounds like the bridge in Xanadu by Rush which is a bit distracting and I'm sure was done on purpose.
Palomides: The Guru and M C Solar tracks are from Jazzmatazz Vol 1 - worth owning the whole CD if you like those two
-
yo - fabric london have westwood and yoda on 4th Feb - here's hoping for a FabricLive mix CD from either of them!
Fabric London (http://www.fabriclondon.com/club.diary.php)

-

-
Sheffield Uni 'pparently:

-
Arcade Fire are pretty good. Just downloaded the ablum and it's f-f-f-f-fresh.
-
BUMP

-
Anybody heard the new Gorillaz album?! Also spotted the Late Night Tales mix by the Flaming Lips which looks interesting!
-
I've downloaded the new Gorillaz album - I quite like the current single but didn't think the rest of it was that awesome.....that said, I only had a quick listen so need to revisit it before making up my mind.
You can get it on Soulseek....
-
And has anyone heard all of the new Four Tet album?
-
not yet. the last one was amazing so keen to check it out.
-
I have heard a couple of tracks (were on Sunday Times free DVD?, not very cool, I know) and sounded very fine.
-
Anybody heard the new Gorillaz album?! Also spotted the Late Night Tales mix by the Flaming Lips which looks interesting!
Aye the Flaming Lips thing is interesting, but why the fook did they do a cover of Seven Nation Army? And then make it sound the fookin' same? :roll:

Ah boo, does it?! That's rubbish, that was one of the reasons I was thinking of buying it - a wacky remix!
-
Yeah I think so- mind you I didn't pay it that much attention cos I've got the attention span of a shrew.
I'll listen when I get back to the yard tonight and announce my verdict then....
-
Got this recommended to me by a mate:
http://www.playrec.dk/releases/playrec16/index.html
...and I loved it. A must for anybody who likes Fugazi, Dagnasty (or come to think of it, any of the classic Dischord bands). Also a touch of Gang of Four in the mix.
-
ill check out that playrec band as soon as i get a better connection, sounds good if they're on an early dichord vibe.
-
Hmmm.... 7 nation army. Nah, nothing special I'm afraid rowie. It is a bit different to the 'stripes version, but ultimately seems to try and mimic it. So not an album to buy on the strength of the one track, IMO. That said, there's some interesting and diverse tunes on here and some nice relaxing melodies.
Buy it in Fopp in case you need to take it back? I've got it cos I'm a bugger for having the complete set....
EDIT: actually, I'm 30 mins into late night tales and it's the best thing I've done all week for destressing after a horrible day at the nasty office. Just buy it....
-
Cool! Ta :-) I've got all of the others bar Howie B (I think). The FOPP in Aberdeen's pretty good.

You can hear some more of his tunage on his own website www.vandalmademedoit.com check out 'Ronin' :8)
See yall there.

-
And has anyone heard all of the new Four Tet album?
Nope, but on the subject of good post-rock/electronica I just bought a copy of Flares by Port Royal thats reet good. Kind of like Sigur Ros meets Explostions in the Sky - very nice indeed.
-
While we're on the subject of after-hours type compilations, I have just been enjoying CD2 of the 'Back To Mine- Pet Shop Boys' set. Very good, more a compilations of classical works and modern day classical sort of things, with a tiny bit of more modern sounding but still very different stuff thrown in.
And I like it very much. For some reason I never really caught onto that kind of thing. I think it's the shrew like attention span.
-
I'll get hold of that one UG - like all the Back to Mine's I've heard so far.
-
Funeral For a Friends new album 'Hours' is out on mon, and from what i've heard of it so far it sounds like it's gonna be shockingly good.
And the Fightstar EP is brilliant as well, really, don't let Charlie's previous horrible musical esacpades put you off, it's really, really, really good!!!
-
Oh come on man, it sounds like a crap combination of pop punk and nu metal, it's pretty terrible.
-
'bought' some 'CDs' at the weekend for a change cos feeling flush so pumping on my stereo at the mo is:
- new roots manuva album
- john legend album
- new quantic soul orchestra album
all good so far.
-
I can't decide about John Legend - he's obviously really talented, and some of the songs are excellent, but don't you think it's a bit too cheesy?
-
Most recent favourite aquisitions, all quite old so i'm not sure if they class as f-f-f-f-f-ffffresh:
Andy Votel compilation - Folk is Not a Four Letter Word
(http://www.bbc.co.uk/manchester/content/images/2005/02/02/folk_four_letter_word_180x180.jpg) Featuring Carol Batton (http://www.bbc.co.uk/manchester/content/images/2005/02/02/carol_batton_150x200.jpg)Manchester's very own Carol Batton did an inspiring poem about bees which is used as the intro so I think outdoor listening is essential, although it does get a bit wintry
Neil Young - Harvest
(http://mathias.dubreuil.free.fr/Guitaristes/Young/harvest.jpg)
Leonard Cohen - Essential Leonard Cohen
(http://friends.s5.net/mazzini/glasbeneocene/images/cohenes.jpg)
Love - Forever Changes
(http://www.audiogalaxy.com/articles/images/loveinside.jpg)
-
like most of the john legend stuff and sure it's smooth but don't reckon it's cheesy. plus he's got the same forename and surname as me so it's gotta be good.
-
I'm quite enjoying the recent popularity of early nineties type bands and the derivatives thereof.
Audioslave out of pure sentimentally and Queens of the Stone Age because they've been awesome for ages whilst being overshadowed by wank American fads.
Now i just need Soundgarden to reform, the Beatnuts to avoid going rubbish and that whole nu metal thing to have never happened and my world is a happier, slightly rose tinted place.
-
Queens of the Stone Age's new album is bullshit. I went to see them live 2 yrs ago and they were mind blowing, but there new material sucks so much ass its unbelievable.
-
It's not their best, which isn't to say it's cack. It's a bit self-indulgent but still sounds pretty damn good to me. Having said that i'd probably buy an album of Josh Homme snoring if he released it.
Which would still sound infinitely superior to Fightstars latest offerings.
And speaking of boy bands, the Backstreet Boys making a comeback now they're all 35 is just wrong. They must be men by now, surely?
-
Which would still sound infinitely superior to Fightstars latest offerings
you're so, so, so wrong... :lol:
-
And they've got a fat drummer.
Which in itself is....
so, so, so wrong...
:)
-
Sorry Blondie, but Fightstar are fucking clownshoes. Nu Metal (which is awful itself) Lite.
-
Word to that Chris and Rico, although i don't have a problem with fat drummers per se, but good metal drummers are generally skinny because they have to play so fast and hard!
My latest purchase:
(http://merchster.com/images/Positively%20Positive%201997-2002.jpg)
Any hardcore/posicore fans on here?
-
If you mean like Sick Of It All then yeah, but only when i'm in the bad place. If you mean like Bonkers 13 then no.
On the subject of drummers, I'm no Motorhead fan, but I always found watching ‘Philthy Animal' Taylor fucking hilarious. Any drummer with a row of optics on his kit is fine by me.
Unlike Fatboy Fightstar who's probably not old enough to drink yet.
-
I think brownstar are ace!! ....no not really I think they are lame.
give me talanted musicians any day.
-
And they've got a fat drummer.
Which in itself is....
so, so, so wrong...
:)
:lol:
Ya need to get with the program, all of ya... :wink:
-
I have to admit, i've been dying to get on the fat drummer program for ages.
I think i actually i had more time for Busted than i do for Fightstar. They weren't trying to be something they're not (talented) and back in the early days, Charlie Brownstar's monobrow was a classic of the genre.
-
Sons & Daughters - Repulsion Box
The New pr0nographers - Mass Romantic
-
The new Four Tet album is excellent btw. "Smile around the face" is a kwalitee choon.
-
Just listening through the Four Tet now - excellent stuff :)
Downloading the new Royksopp album as well so will report on that.
-
Royksopp - The Understanding
At first listen this is pretty dissapointing and not as good as Melody A.M.
A couple of good tracks but I get annoyed with the constant breathy Air-style vocals that they insist on putting on.
-
One big fucking list of mostly unpalatable dance music I've been listening to this year ;)
Very recent:
Bizzy B - Science EP Vol 3&4 (ruff jungle - nice proper breakbeats and all)
Calyx - No Turning Back (techstep - pretty good)
Big Bud - Fear Of Flying (dnb / dub - one cd of extra smooth and rolling dnb, one of phat dub, nice) Recommended
Evil Nine - You Can Be Special Too (breakdownbeathiphopfunkstep - token socially acceptable purchase :), cool and funky and bassy) Recommended
Ready D - Not For Tha Faint Hearted Vol1 (hip-hop mix - South African dood, unlikely to be available here but salt-beef should get a copy, phat as fuck, some great stuff on this) Highly recommended
Recent-ish:
The DJ Producer - Doomsday Mechaniks (hardcore techno, neat, but not as good as his Interpretations CD)
Marco Bailey - Sindustry (techno, good stuff, solid banging funky mix) Recommended
Klute - No-one Is Listening Any More (intelligent drum'n'bass, good, well produced often atmospheric, with a strong downbeat/vocal 2nd CD) Highly recommended
Pentagon - Revelation (mellow / atmospheric drum'n'bass from Japan, with a fair bit of funk) Recommended
P Money - Magic City (hip-hop from New Zealand, quite good but not as good as his excellent Big Things CD)
VA - Riddim Driven: Rah Rah (ragga, rudebwoy business)
VA - Riddim Driven: Stepz (ragga, rudebwoy business)
VA - Riddim Driven: Strip Down (ragga, bit saucier than the other two)
(All Recommended if you like ragga)
Earlier in the year:
The DJ Producer - Interpretations (hardcore techno) Highly recommended
Various - Bonkers 1 (mid-skool happy hardcore / trancecore)
Various - Bonkers 2 (mid-skool happy hardcore / trancecore)
Various - Bonkers X (modern hardcore)
DJ Hixxy - Exclusive John Peel Bonkers Mix (modern happy hardcore)

Omni Trio - Rogue Satellite (ambient drum'n'bass)
Richie Hawtin - Decks, Efx & 909 (techno)
Richie Hawtin - DE9: Closer To The Edit (techno)
Von Thronstahl - Imperium Infernum (neo-classical/martial) Highly recommended
Various - Chamber / Coldspring Sampler (dark-ambient/industrial/classical)
...................................Juno.co.uk has a lot to answer for. Although at least days I tend to check stuff out with them, then find the best prices elsewhere :8)
-
Ready D - Not For Tha Faint Hearted Vol1 (hip-hop mix - South African dood, unlikely to be available here but salt-beef should get a copy, phat as fuck, some great stuff on this) Highly recommended
Best DJ I've ever heard...
-
Hey dom, do you know any more about Tumi - guy who did track 18 "A Dream Led To This" ....that track is so rolling I have to skip back and reload it whenever I have the CD on - any other stuff like that available??
-
I think that's Tumi from Tumi and the Volume (www.thevolume.co.za). Pretty kick ass stuff. His backing band, 340ml, is insane too - Mozambiquan dub ska stuff.
-
Just got this recently -Fabric Live Scratch Peverts- Pretty damn good.........

Roisin Murphy's new album: She's a bit of an acquired taste but this is really good with a lot of variety. Produced by Matthew Herbet too.
Isolee - We are monster: Off kilter, strange quirky techno - better than the last one.
Sleater Kinney: The Woods - Rockin grrrls.

Ben, are you currently in country? Sent you an email.

It's not too bad, couple of good tunes on there, no where near as good as the 1st album tho
-
Just listening to the Groove Armada album goodbye country (hello nightclub).....very good indeed.
-
The new LCD soundsystem album (cant remember what its called even though its constantly playing at the min) is one of the best albums ive had the fortune to come across in a long while.
Also the new Gorrillaz album aint half bad either
-
not exactly fresh, but isn't Röyksopp amazing?
on a fresh note, head out to your local record stoer and scope out "He Is Legend", the new album "I Am Hollywood" is fantastic, highly recommended if you like heavier stuff.
-
just got new herbalizer cd, take london. sounds promising from first listning

Does anyone know the title and artist of the dope track on Doylo's DVD that's in the Bishop section when High Plains is getting done??
-
can't remember cos i'm at work but early on in the bishop section one of the tunes is from Aim's 'Cold Water Music' album. a must have. Hinterland is mediocre in comparison.
is it a hip-hop tune?
-
hinterland is still very good as well. cold water music was let down by a couple of bad tracks. both excellent tho
-

you're wrong jim. wrong wrong wrong. :wink:
hinterland is complacent in many places. there are no bad tracks on cold water music.
i'll fight you to the death like shed seven.
-
is it a hip-hop tune?
Yep... with a shweet sample and laid back rhyming but I didn't recognise the artist at all.
I've been meaning to check out Aim for a while... I'll add to the ever growing list of stuff to buy.
I'm at working at home at the mo. listening to that Isolee album I referred to earlier in the thread and it's really fine.
-
is it a hip-hop tune?
Yep... with a shweet sample and laid back rhyming but I didn't recognise the artist at all.
it's the aim track then man. some great stuff on that album.
-
not exactly fresh, but isn't Röyksopp amazing?
You referring to the new one, or Melody AM?
-
melody A.M i just can't get enough of Röyksopp's Night Out
-
Cheers Cofe
Piccadilly Records internet ordering is the biz... searched, clicked, paid and despatched in under an hour..
www.piccadillyrecords.co.uk
-
Soulseek is even more amazing - searched, clicked and downloaded in minutes :lol:
I've not even given the new Royksopp album a second listen.
-
Just got in fresh today:
Teebee - The Legacy (very good techstep dnb)
EZ Rollers - Lickable Beats 2 (very good funky dnb)
-
is it a hip-hop tune?
Yep... with a shweet sample and laid back rhyming but I didn't recognise the artist at all.
it's the aim track then man. some great stuff on that album.
believe it's called "ain't got time to waste"...
with the Hoff on that one - pretty straight album that. Aim have got a fabriclive mix out as well which ain't too shabby neither.
on a totally different note, did anyone else hear that Luther Vandross passed away over the weekend? With him gone and no Barry White, the lotharios amongst us are gonna have to search out some new tunes for a night with "da laydeeez".
-
craaaaaaiiiiiiig david is the new luther vandross, comin atcha. slicker than a flava.
-
word-should have thought about that.
did you see him on live 8?
representin' with a Paris flava...
can't believe I missed Snoop. Apparently he swore. Quite a lot.
-
nah didn't see mastib8 as was out climbing. i hope snoops performance was better than his last 6 albums....
-
dunno - Craiiiig did a wicky wicky wild freestyle version of Fill Me In with an acoustic flava. Don't know if the Parisians got it really.
saw Kanye West from the Philly gig later on though and to be fair, he rocked it. Can't wait for some new shizz from him.
-
His new album was meant to drop this month, but has been put back until at least the end of august - bloody record company politics.
-
Craiiii-he-iiigg was off the wall. getting back top his roots - asking himself for re-he-winds an evryfink.
Velvet revolver were amazing. Had no idea they existed. Spinal tap could learn a lot from them.
-
i hope craig davis was giving himself mic checks all the way through anall. whats french for "selecta".???
-
Craiiii-he-iiigg was off the wall. getting back top his roots - asking himself for re-he-winds an evryfink.
Velvet revolver were amazing. Had no idea they existed. Spinal tap could learn a lot from them.
not forgetting a really rather excessive amount of "breaking" it "down"...
know what you mean about VR - certainly made me sit up and take notice!
think it's a verb innit:
je selectai
tu selectas
il selecta
nous selectons
etc...
-
word up, pink floyd were much better than i expected, woohoo!
...royksopp's other album
is it any good then?
-
I thought Craig was pretty good, and yeah, I'd never even heard of Velvet Revolver, but they were pretty good.
Out of what I saw I liked Joss, Snoop, Razorlight, Keane and Annie Lennox was amazing imho.
Thought Snow Patrol were a bit shite, and Scissor Sisters? Well, what the fuck were they doing there anyway :roll:
-
word tommy, i like the sound of "il selecta".
-
is it any good then?
Put it like this, download it first before spending any cash on it. It's more like Air than Royksopp....but Air do it better.
-
right. is moon safari the best air album? i usually find royksopp able to send me to sleep, especially the last track on melody am... wierd.
-
Moon Safari is probably the definitive Air album, them doing what they do best. Do not touch 10.000 Hz Legend, even with your longest bargepole. Talkie Walkie is good in places, but falls well short of Moon Safari.
-
reet.
you missed out:
vous selectez
ils selectent
and of course:
je selecterai
tu selecteras
il selectera
nous selecterons
vous selecterez
ils selecterent
i could keep going forever...
-
word tommy, i like the sound of "il selecta".
+ andi_e...
though strictly speaking, as it was on Saturday just gone, "il a selecte" (with an ecoute on the final e, but I can't drop that foreign shizz on this machine!)
-
well yeah but he was playing, rahter than he played is what i was going for.
-
soz, think you were righter that me there - been a good few years since I've had to worry about the accuracy of my french grammar...would like to brush up tho...
<<sees new thread on horizon>>
-
lol, i've not done french for 1 1/2 yrs! feeling strong today then...
L'homme, qui s'appelle Craiiiiiiiiiiiiaaaiggg Davi-hid, a eu une concert, et il selectera beaucoup quand il avait joué de la musique.
ouch, my brain hurts.
-
Unless he performed Soda Pop, I'm not interested.
-
Finch's new album Say Hello To Sunshine is good. A lot darker and better for it than the first, a lot more of a slow burner as well. FFAF's new album is, and it really kills me to say it, not the masterpiece I was hoping for. It's still very, very good but something is missing and while most of it is brilliant it just doesn't seem to reach the highpoints of CDADIC.
A good band I just heard is Bright Eyes. Gets a little tedious/repetitive at times but Lucky Easy Free is one of the best songs i've heard for ages.
Also check out Biffy Clyro if ya haven't already heard them. Soooooo good. Check them. Now.
-
I think expecting a masterpiece from FFAF is just setting yourself up for a fall.
Especially as they're basically a cack welsh rip off of Brand New.

But this is coming from the guy who rates fightstar, so any promised musical quality must be taken lightly.
Got Throwdown's new album, that's pretty good,sound a bit like early machine head.

:lol:

Especially as they’re basically a cack welsh rip off of Brand New.
How can you compare Brand New To FFAF, totally different, Taking Back Sunday yes, FFAF no.
-
How can you compare Brand New To FFAF
In the same way i'd compare the Beatles to the Bootleg Beatles.
-
Especially as they're basically a cack welsh rip off of Brand New.
hmm... i seem to remember Brand new being a "new band" after Funeral, so that's just absurd.

Hard-Fi are rocking my world at the moment. For once the hype is right. :8)

Maybe my hearing isn't what it was but I'm sure I just heard Eminem on the radio singing about his ‘pee-pee going doing doing doing'.
The man's a lyrical genius.

I think it's his 'slinky going doing doing doing.'

Ooh, new Bees CD :D Free the Bees is a corker.
This week nicely dispelling the 'post holiday in Wales where i watched them at Y Sesiwn Fawr in Dolgellau (on S4C) blues', I have been really enjoying the new Super Furries long player Lovekraft. Great summer melodies.
Also after FD's recommendation and a review in t' Observer mag, Roisin Murphy's solo record, which at first listen is great, great ranging vocals and spot on production by Matthew Herbert, very interesting listen this morning.
And inspired by that, I got hold of herbert's new un', Plat Du Jour, which apparently is comprised entirely of recordings from cafes and kitchens and that. And it's astonishing, so much so that I was disappointed when the drive home from work was over. I thought i was dead clever thinking of this to describe it too:
'Must be what it sounds like when Susumu Yokota has a dinner party with King Tubby...' :shock:
And while on holiday the Potishead live at Roseland NYC CD got a thorough rinsing. Quality as ever.
-
'Must be what it sounds like when Susumu Yokota has a dinner party with King Tubby...' :shock:
You should write for a music mag.. the new Herbet sounds good so it's on the list... his Bodily Functions LP is really good too. Glad you liked Roisin (Is it just me who really fancies her?? my mates think she's a bit of a munter_ but she went to school with a mate of mine and I fell in love with her when she was about 17 just as she moved to Sheff some years before Moloko.. and we got pissed one night on her Dads Poteen and I've always had more than a soft spot for her)
On a musical note FD has recently bought:
Querelle by Querelle on Sink and Stove (http://www.querelle.tk/ ) - If you are into Sister era Sonic Youth then this is a must buy...I was a bit sceptical at first after reading a review on Piccadilly Records e-circular but had a listen to a couple of excerpts on MP3 and decided to buy the CD and I wasn't disapointed. It's got better with each listen too.. really good.
I also coughed up for a ltd Swell Maps boxed set of 45's (see http://www.alive-totalenergy.com/SwellMaps.html for a bit history) which again is way better than I anticipated. I had a Neil Young covers album featuring Dinosaur Jnr, Sonic Youth and this guy Nikki Sudden who I'd never heard of until I came across Swell Maps.. now it all clicks. it;s kind of pricey at £25 or thereabouts but worth the dough nonetheless.
Current 93 have re-released & re-mastered Thunder Perfect Mind if you are into apocalyptic neo-folk music but I guess most aren't so don't buy this one unless you know Current 93.
Jamie Liddell is playing at the Manchester Freetrade Hall this Sunday and if you've not seem him live then its worth queing for.
I also bought Red Krayola's new album yesterday largely on the strength that ex-Minutemen/Firehose drummer George Hurley plays the skins for them now. I listened to it on a plane to Aberdeen this morning but it was 6:30 in the morning and I was dribbling on my shirt and falling asleep so can't offer any judgement.
There's an top bootleg of John Legends 'Used to Love you' kicking around with a badass Bossa Nova/breakbeat thats probably by Blackbeard/Yam Who if you know the right record shops.
Aphex Twin finished off the Analord series of ltd 12's - with a Dogma style production value (just analogue equipment, no computers or sampling).. it's a bit of a trip down memory lane, but then again, it was pretty damn good in '90-'94 for squelchy techno so no harm done.
-
Check this out - very silly but quite funny - a mash up of 50 Cent's In Da Club and the Benny Hill Theme.
download (http://www.99x.com/station/programs/mashups/mashups/new/Benny%20Hill%20Theme%20-%20VS%20-%2050%20Cent%20-%20In%20Da%20Club.mp3)
I think Roisin Murphy is rather gorgeous FD.
-
And while on holiday the Potishead live at Roseland NYC CD got a thorough rinsing. Quality as ever.
for sheezy my neezy, that shit is the illest. i got that taped off the telly anall somewhere, you gotta love the scratching stilos in particular - that guy plays those decks like a fukking violin, onetime!

The Bees are playing at the Tartan Heart Festival near Inverness this summer www.tartanheartfestival.co.uk on 12th/13th August. They are on the Friday night (12th) which is a bummer cause we're only going for Saturday! But British Sea Power are on then so all is not lost!

just listening to the magic numbers - bought as a gift for other half but am well into 'mornings eleven' (track one)

Quick question: anyone know?
On the Avalanches track, "Electricity" - who/what is the main sample? The one that is the female vocal that goes "I can see, electricity"?

Apparently the track samples 'Rapp Dirty' by Blowfly... I shall have a spin tomorrow and let thee know what I think.....
-
At the moment I am listening to Clor, The Editors and the new Elbow album. They are all worth a listen.
-
I'm just about to check out Clor.... good review in the OMM...
Bubbz, it ain't the Blowfly track.... dunno otherwise....
-
word, this week i have mostly been rotating:
guns n roses - appetite
panjabi mc - the albumn
carl cox - the fact
they're well brown.
-
FFS Dave, fuck that cock rock G 'n' R bullshit right off!
Squeely glam rock is just plain ugly - it's not even funny/ironic, it's just shit.
Next you'll be telling me you rate Robbie Williams - and believe me there is only a very fine line between that goon and Axle Rose.
Jeez man, if you want a change from all the hip hop breaks and dance beats, I can reccommend plenty of far classier guitar bands. Failing that, ask Falling Down - he has impeccable taste.
Anyway, this week I've been mostly listening to Alien Lanes by Guided by Voices. Same as most weeks really. I actually bought a new album by Now it's Overhead on the basis of an amazing live track (Reverse) that I heard. Unfortunately, the album was overproduced and I've been struggling, but failing, to like it ever since.
Took a stack of cds away on holiday, and was once again charmed by Stevie Wonder's Innervisions, After the Gold Rush by Neil Young, Clearspot by Captain Beefheart, Relationship of Command by At the Drive in - does music get any better than this? I doubt it.
I can also recommend the Magic Numbers album for cheerful summer time driving music. Slightly annoying, but very catchy.

If you like Magic Numbers, check out Aberfeldy, happy and summery.
Panto, did you recommend Wilco a few months back? I am getting into Morning Teeth, are any other albums worth checking out, or are they all good?
-
this week i duested off a load of ultramagnetic mcs / kool keith / dr octagon cds - all still v cool.
roots manuva / awfully deep has been in or near my car stereo since i got it.
have also been playing deejay punk-roc / anarchy in the usa, lee burridge / nubreed 5, dub pistols / point blank, and deep dish / gu moscow...
-
Been mostly rediscovering a bit of Dr Dooom and some classic EPMD this week.
And whilst we're on the subject of cheerful summer time driving music, I had a lend of Johnny Cash's last album recently. It's kinda painful, kinda bleak, but thoroughly excellent.
-
Relationship of Command by At the Drive in - does music get any better than this? I doubt it.
Don't get me wrong there are some great tracks on that album, cosmonaut for one, but In Casino Out is a way better album.
This week I have been listening to Dropkick Murphy's Blackout and Sing Loud Sing Proud long players as well as Alkaline Trio Black Sunday.
-
LOL Bubba, nice one linking part 2 of the top ten BM thing, very cool.
This week I've been listening to: Kryptic Minds & Leon Switch - Blackout 1&2 CD (Defcom Records) - some pretty fierce DnB on that :)
-
Johnny Cash's last album recently
The mainly covers one? Or the one with "when the man comes around"? That track is amazing.
For summer driving, I've mainly been spinning The Grey Album, The Postal Service and a lot of Sizzla. thanks to Cowboyhat for the first two. Back at the desk, it's mainly been folk.:shock: Anyone else dabble?
-
Aye. Best folk of late being the Andy Votel - Folk is Not a Four Letter Word compilation, not all that folky but good; anything with Sandy Denny singing on it (earlier stuff being preferable, The Original Sandy Denny and the BBC Session being notably good; some Fairport Covention (not the hey nonny know yokal shit), best being Leige and Leaf or Unhalfbricking; Kelly-Joe Phelps - good american folk; obviously most Nick Drake stuff.
-
Diggin John Martyn and Bert Jansch at the mo.
-
The mainly covers one? Or the one with "when the man comes around"?
The one with ‘the man comes around'. It's not the easiest listen in the world but there's some awesome stuff on there. And the man in black deserves a round of applause for his take on 'Hurt' and 'Personal Jesus'.
As an added bonus Johnny Cash is the only person I can do a passable impersonation of on the old Karaoke. :D
‘I hurt myself today, to see if I still bleed, everyone I know is dead, so I hurt myself some more……'
Try singing ‘Addicted to Love' after I've been on. :twisted:
-
Am liking John Martyn a lot, but only have a couple of albums. Haven't heard any Bert Jansch as yet.
-
Bert is lord and king of folk guitar.
-
On the folk tip, I've been listening a lot to Penguin Eggs by Nic Jones, especially the epic song about whale hunting.
To SA Chris: Wilco are awesome. The best album is the latest: A ghost is born - quite simply the finest record I've heard in the last 5 years! (very strong songwriting, bags of emotional impact and impressive flashes of experimentation, all touched by the magic hand of Jim O'Rourke)
I would also recommend: Summer Teeth (again, strong songwriting) and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (atmospheric, if a little bleak). I haven't seen the DVD, I am trying to break your heart but it recieved glowing reviews at the time.
When you said Morning Teeth I guess you meant ST?
-
Anybody hear Johnny Cash's cover of Will Oldham's (Bonnie Prince Billy) I see a Darkness? The original was mind blowing enough, but this was something really special.
-
It's a very rare talent that produces covers better than the originals.
-
I do like discovering an artist then finding out they've got an extensive back catalogue for me to trawl through. Could take a while with Johnny Cash though.
-
Get 'Live at San Quentin' first, the rest is gravy...
-
I see a darkness
Well, you're my friend
And can you see
Many times we've been out drinking
Many times we've shared our thoughts
Did you ever, ever notice, the kind of thoughts I got
Well you know I have a love, for everyone I know
And you know I have a drive, for life I won't let go
But sometimes this opposition, comes rising up in me
This terrible imposition, comes blacking through my mind
[CHORUS:]
And then I see a darkness
Oh no, I see a darkness
Do you know how much I love you
Cause I'm hoping some day soon
You'll save me from this darkness
Well I hope that someday soon
We'll find peace in our lives
Together or apart
Alone or with our wives
And we can stop our whoring
And draw the smiles inside
And light it up forever
And never go to sleep
My best unbeaten brother
That isn't all I see
[CHORUS:]
And then I see a darkness
Oh no, I see a darkness
Do you know how much I love you
Cause I'm hoping some day soon
You'll save me from this darkness
...now wipe that tear from your eyes, get up from your desk, walk out of the office/workplace (do not turn around) and go buy this and every other Will Oldham album you can find. You might want to stop off at the off licence on the way home as well.
-
Get 'Live at San Quentin' first, the rest is gravy...
I'm pretty sure, and this is probably why I was a bit apprehensive with regards to Johnny Cash, that my dad owns that on vinyl.
Not quite what I had in mind when I purchased the 1200's but anyway…..
-
When you said Morning Teeth I guess you meant ST?
Aye, I did. Found it in the CD section of the local library, will check out Ghost next time I am in FOPP.
Did you know that some of the larger HMVs now have listening stations connected to the "entire" HMV catalogue via t'internet? Very cool idea, but don't count on getting near on on a Saturday morning.
-

Sounds like it might be worth having a rinse through that vinyl stack! My Dad's just bought a B&O stereo and got rid of his turntable... might be paying a visit soon! When i was at Uni he caught me nicking his original Electric ladyland (from the first week before censors changed the sleeve) and has kept a close eye since... but now...
-
The old man earned some major kudos when I discovered his collection wasn't comprised entirely of the Beatles and the Stones. The sly bastard hid all the good stuff behind my mums godawful collection of Carpenters and Andy Williams records knowing I'd soon lose interest flicking through that crap.
Having some kind of childish admiration for my dads record collection is still rather worrying though. :)
-
If anyone's interested in some folk/americana/steel string magic then take a look at my archive postings and look for a post entitled 'Folk/Americana stuff for Pantontino' or something similar - there's a long list of things well worth listening to.
On a more contemporary note I can't recommend Jack Rose, Glenn Jones, Steffen Basho-Jhunghans and Richard Bishop highly enough for steel string magic continuing the tradition of John Fahey, Bert Jansch and John Renbourne. If you are going to buy one, then make it 'Two Originals of..." by Jack Rose - it's really magic.
Also, about to be released are a bunch of, until now very rare, recordings by Fairport Convention/Shirley Collins associate Davy Graham that are bound to be worthwhile.
Chris - Listen to the Panto when he's recommending A Ghost is Born - it's super good. I can bring a copy with me to Aberdeen when I'm back a week after next.
However, this week I have been mostly listening to Jungle mix-tapes by Mickey Finn, DJ-SS and Ray Keith from 1993-1995 and getting old E rushes
:oops:
-
I love that early 90's stuff FD - check out Kenny Ken / Food Junky stuff if you can find some.
-
I can also recommend the Magic Numbers album for cheerful summer time driving music. Slightly annoying, but very catchy.
Who, I just discovered, walked out of top of the pops, which has to be applauded...
-
just got moon safari, not really fresh. how old is it exactly?
-
err.... old
-
And as if I don't listen to nasty enough DnB already, I ordered this today...
http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/184879-02.htm
...pure filth :ev: :bat: :rocker2:
-
fiend, can you explain the circumstances in which you listen to that stuff? do you put it on first thing in the morning as you're brewing a pot of lapsang souchon? or maybe when you're reclining with a well thumbed copy of titus andronicus? ah! i've got it - it's your background music when you're painting watercolours...
-
Jose Gonzalez - Veneer
very nice, and recommended to any one who enjoys nick drake or devendra banhart's quiet stuff.
bonjour!

Luke Vibert :: Lovers' Acid (Planet Mu/Inertia)
The 303 was done to death a few years back, but it's kinda nice to hear some again. Funky acid techno - not incredible but good squelchy fun - 12 tracks recorded over the last 8 or so years.
-
ah! i've got it - it's your background music when you're painting watercolours...
Actually, at the moment, that is about right :wink:
Mmmm acid techno eh might have to have a look at that.
-

1998. You can often tell how old a CD is by reading the published date on the CD cover, or using the internet.

This song by Ratatat off the new DVS 'Skate More' DVD has been stuck in my head for about a week now, think it's pretty awesome. check it out Ratatat seventeen years (http://downloads.betterpropaganda.com/music/Ratatat-Seventeen_Years_32.mp3)
-
Chris - Listen to the Panto when he's recommending A Ghost is Born - it's super good. I can bring a copy with me to Aberdeen when I'm back a week after next.
If you could do that, it would be appreciated. What nights are you down? "The Shop" is now in a useable condition, if the weather is bad.
-
This song by Ratatat off the new DVS 'Skate More' DVD has been stuck in my head for about a week now, think it's pretty awesome. check it out
I'll have a look for that - I've got the Ratatat remixes album which is a set of excellent hip-hop remixes.
-
has anyone got the new kanye west album? is it all it's cracked up to be? was going to get a copy at heathrow this afternoon but the shop was swamped with david grey and dido...
-
It's really good - even better than the first one imho. It can sound a bit cheesy on first listening due to a lot of the samples being from popular tunes, but after a couple of listens you start hearing the depth and quality of the production, and it's all good.
-
as long as its not 74 minutes of skits then i'll have to have a listen.
-
it is skitted up again, but they are a lot shorter and less frequent than the first album ones. Think the golddigger tune that he's gonna release as his next single is real heavy - hope he actually gets some popular success with it.
-
Nice to hear a big-bucks rapper going on about something other than himself for once.
-
Yeah, the social commentary stuff adds a lot to it - normally you have to choose between intelligent rap and good production, and Kanye has done a good job of combining them.
-
have only heard the new common album from the back seat of a jeep.
is it any good?
-
have only heard the new common album from the back seat of a jeep.
is it any good?
damn straight. Got it a couple o weeks back and it's been on heavy rotation since. A return to form after the weirdness of Electric Circus, flava conscious rhymes and ting.
Even inspired me to get "Like water for chocolate", which was a good look.
-
will look it up then ttt.
don't rate like water for chocofrappacino that much.
'one it will all make sense' is the best
-
it is prob his best work to date. like water I thought was qualidy anall
-
Anyone into the folk thing needs to track down Jackson C. Frank, now. Hard to imagine how anyone can capture so much sadness in music, until you read about his troubled life.
-
Wow. I got Blues Run the Game (deluxe edition) yesterday and it's really impressive. Heard what I thought was a nick drake song, only to find it's originally Jackson C. Frank. It's basically painfully beautiful folk music. Much Recommended, thanks for the tip jonboy!
-
just listening to that new kanye album once through - seems good, hard to tell after just one listen though. obviously the production and ting is A1.
Anyone got his freshmen adjustment ting?
-
just listening to that new kanye album once through - seems good
I remain to be convinced - have 'aquired' most of it and, whilst there's some v. good stuff, there's also quite a few choons which will be making their way to a little place I like to call 'the recycle bin'
-
Recently got a copy of Document III by DJ Andy Smith - very very good and highly recommended.
For those of you with broadband but no idea what you want to listen to (or just want some new music to listen to), I give you www.pandora.com
An amazing site with a 10 hour free trial to get you hooked. You need to check it out tho'!
-

will check that out. Document II was also very good.
-
Is that Andy Smith as in the guy who used to be or DJ for Portishead ? If so I remember seeing him at the tuesday club a few years back. He was fucking brilliant, one of the best Dj's I have ever heard.
-
wasn't the guy in portishead who did all the badass scratching called geoff barrow?
-
Got the Common albumovert the weekend and am loving it. The Kanye album is only improving with repeat listens, 'Gone' with Cam'ron and Cons is my favourite track at the moment.
Speaking of Kanye, anybody check this out?
http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2678975
that's some real emotion right there, i didn't think they did live TV anymore, for this sort of reason?
-
This weekend I have mostly been listening to;
The Editors: Back Room. Fine Joy Div style stuff. Got it a while back, and still enjoying it.
Fabriclive 23 - Death in Vegas. Electronica.
Hard Fi - Stars of CCTV. Catchy Poppyness.
Plus Document III as per above.
-
Illness for your royal chillness...
Tipper - Tip Hop
You need those beats trust me.
-
for those fans of Emu, and also live in manchester, go and see Friends In High Places at the roadhuse tonight.
for those fans of punk, there's a good new band called slash monkeys also from bolton who also rock much.
young talent, very much so.
-
I don't usually post about mixes but if you like Laurent Garnier's style of dramatic techno then check out his mix from the Space Terrace in Ibiza from 13.08.2005.
It was part of Radio 1's ten years in Ibiza thang - real quality mix.
Available on Soulseek, etc.
Tracklisting:
Beyond - 'Crushing' (MU)
Unknown - 'Elephand Island EP' (Sleep Archive)
Hardcell - 'Rah' (Inside)
TDR - 'Smoked Out' (PIAS)

-
anyone catch kanye last nite on radio1? I thought i'd missed it then it came on - it was proper bo. Might have to burn me a download of it onto minidisc.
-
Yeah, he was awesome as i expected - people can go on about how arrogant he is all they want, but when you keep producing the goods like that, i think you have a right to be arrogant!
The strings were awesome, as was his boy John Legend. Pissed me off to hear Moyles this morning saying 'yeah i went, but i'm not really that much of a fan'. I wonder how many people in that room that counted for, and how many tickets could have gone to real fans instead.
-
moyles is a twat.
good to hear how "through the wire" sounds when he can actually open his mouth.
-
You should hear the original version on the 'get well soon' mixtape, when he did the track just after he was realeased from hospital - it's so much worse than the album version, pretty painful to listen to!
-
Just watched the Kanye West thing (http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/bringsyou/kanyewest/).
I thought it wouldn't live up to all the hype but it did. Superb. The guy is talented and seems pretty sound too - good interview with Jo Whiley this morning on R1.
I loved the strings and the DJ was good too - anyone know who he is?
John Legend sounded beautiful live - much better than his album imho.
-
you gotta ask yourself what other rapper could carry off a black dinner jacket and white trousers and graduated aviators. what a guy.
-
Think Kanye's DJ is called A-Trak - haven't checked to see if he has any of his own stuff out...
-
check it:
http://www.djatrak.com/index.html
still don't like that kayne west shit tho
-
That's funny, the last time I saw A-Trak on video he was a little kid and his mum was in the audience :lol:
-
are we on about the guy doing the scratching on that kanye thing? if so he certainly be packing some crazy ill steez. I'd like to see a heavyweight scratch-off between him and that guy from portishead. One of them would get served. ITS ON!
-
Yeah, that's him - he was touted as being a scratching wonderkind when he was young - I think he was world DMC champ at 15 or something and has won another four times since.
Talking of Andy Smith, that Document 2 is sweet but can't find doc 3 yet.
Been downloading a load of shit from this thread lately and listening through them in the lorry at work. Also got me lots of very weirdy electronica - will report back soon.
-

New Boards of Canada LP out this month... anyone heard any of the tracks yet?
Got it and listened. Bit dissapointing I thought - seemed almost poppy and very straighforward compared to MHTRTC. Maybe it'll grow on me but it just seems a bit...ordinary...in comparison :cry:
Here's the official line:
What defines This album from previous work is Boards' simple desire to make a melodic, beautiful record. “This time we just wanted to see how far we could take conventional instrument sounds like guitars but to make them play extremely unconventional arrangements, and I hope the result sounds even older and more beautiful than our other work.â€
So now with the Campfire Headphase the sound of BOC has become too organic to be labelled ‘electronica' anymore, reaching backwards to 70's psychedelia, shoegaze and British Wyrd Folk influences.
However, a common thread interlinking past work remains, and that is the integration of the rural Scottish environment they live in into their music, but this goes even deeper with this album. So now you too can come on and feel the Campfire Headphase.

Trying to find the name of this tune..maybe you can help if you have a sec..go on www.petzl.com then videos then select video "there was no robin des blocs" (Bouldering in the peak with McClure doing a sport route at the end) and just under half way through after the title the storm, stanage plantation, there begins a tune (let it play)..if you know the name of this let me know...wouldnt mind downloading it.
cheers :wink:

Thanks Bubbs.. there was an interview in this months edition of The Wire that was reasonably interesting. I thought Geogaddi was a bit dull compared to MHARTC and the Beautiful Place EP but still good nevertheless... I guess its the curse of being innovative with your first outing as any subsequent albums have a high point to live up to.

i need some noo choons... along the lines of quantic, royksopp and air- there's only so much emo you can take before getting bored of the samey sounds.
-
it says at the end of the video - Ekoman
Although this may not help you much. I was trying to find another tune by this guy that was on another Petzl video, and after a lot of webtrawling I got.... zip. If you find out who or what Ekoman is, I'd like to know. I'm guessing he's a mate of someone at Petzl or something and has never had his tracks released.
Edit: tell a lie, I've just re-googled and found about 5 climbing forums with other posters who have also undergone equally fruitless searches. Time to email Petzl.

That's the rather excellent Geogaddi I think.
Now, this is kinda interesting - DJ Food presents Raiding the 20th Century
http://www.ubu.com/sound/dj_food.html (download here - 72mb)
http://www.djfood.org/rt20c/
...a 40 minute attempt to catalogue the history of cut up music - be it avant garde tape manipulation, turntable megamixes or bastard pop mash ups...
-
looks good. d/l ing it now
-
It's the ultimate mashup...and a documentary at the same time. Very clever and a fine tribute to the remix.
-
I got a lift back from a party at Hendre with two DJs the other week and they played this amazing mix tape from DJ Food. Essentially a series of mind blowing juxtapositions of the most contrary styles of music. I'm wondering if this is the same thing - I want a copy if it is.
-
Sounds like the same thing - it's been (legally) released on the p2p networks too which is cool - i'd go for bittorrent, the link i posted above is quite a slow download.
-
Nice idea for finding new music:

Jackson And His Computer Band - "Smash" (Warp Records)
I really like this a lot - very chopped up but still danceable, funky and constantly interesting. One of the best things I've listened to for ages - really shit hot....but perhaps not for those who don't like any IDM/Electronica stuff at all.
Also try to find the "Smashup Megamix" which is Jackson mixing up the album tracks.
And finally, his "Midnight Fuck Remix" of M83s "Fall into Flowers" is very good too.
-
Re: The Dj Food thing (raiding the 20th century) - there's two versions about. The first was the original (by Strictly Kev who basically is DJ Food these days - used to be all, or some of, Coldcut back when they did the Jazz Breaks stuff). After that he did it again, but getting Paul Morley to commentate over the top - longer and not as good, but interesting in a documentary type of way. At least one of them can (or at least could) be downloaded from the DJ food site. Google it, or google Raiding the 20th Century - there used to be a few mirrors online.
-
Yeah, I've got the one with the voiceover - the download had been suspended from the official DJ Food site (due to bandwidth issues I think) but you can still get it from the link above.
I'll try to find the other version on p2p.
-
Go here: http://pagesperso.laposte.net/altar/ and click A Team. I think its quite good.
-
Long awaited and much anticipated, the new Richie Hawtin masterpiece is available on p2p. DE9: Transitions is the latest release in the DE9 series and is brilliant. Authored in 5.1 surround this really takes it to the next level. The stereo version is just as great, and pushes forward Hawtin's musical ability. Don't expect a pounding techno sound (none of the DE9 series presented that), but do expect something that is signature Hawtin but different from all his older stuff.
It's not released yet (Oct 31st is the official date) but like I said, it is already available. However, the official release includes cd and DVD and is only £9.99 from Amazon, so make sure you buy it when it comes out.
Highly recommended!! Set to become a modern classic.
-
5.1 sounds interesting - only heard films and games designed for surrond, never music.
-
double psyched for the hawtinator, what a legend. he even got my mate who hates techno psyched. as for the new boc album, mine arrived in the post. sounds a bit like death in vegas (not their grinding stuff) I like it, not as cerebral as geogadi or mhrtc or beautiful place in the country (their best work, with everything you do is a baloon) but it still makes pleasant listening. Was listening to Jamie lidell on the train today forgot how good it is!
-
this week i have mostly been listening to the grey album.
it's your boy.
-
I got The Beastie Boys "Ill Communication" for £4 last week and have been playing that rather often. Forgot how good they are. Not exactly a funky new flava but chunky oldskool quality throughout.
And right now I'm on my lunch, listening to the Goldie Looking Chain album. Always good for a laugh and remarkably well produced with so many clever touches (eg the nod to KRS1 "sound of the police").
Dunno why I felt the need to share this with you as neither album are exactly dubplates, but that's what been playing on my player lately anyway... :lol:
-
(eg the nod to KRS1 "sound of the police").
what album s that on?
-
What do you mean? Which GLC or which KRS1? Dunno what KRS1 album as its from waaaay back but you know the track right? He does a quality (and much sampled) switch from saying "officer" to "overseer" thus emphasising his point about racism in the US Police force. Blah blah blah.

KRS. thats the sound of the beats. i have an album on tape but that's all i know. it has an excerpt from it but not the whole thing.
-
Just had a quick search ont net and didn't find the album but it won't be hard surely. No time to look properly for you, gotta go and do some teaching now...
-
The album is "Return of the Boom Bap"

A couple of things that are a bit different to my usual musical diet.
Caribou - "The Milk Of Human Kindness" (Leaf/Domino)
No idea how to describe this because I fail to see what sort of genre it would slot into...perhaps that's a good thing, I hate the over-categorisation of music anyway. Driving and uplifting without any hint of irony or cheese - very good indeed. Caribou used to be Manitoba but it's still all new to me.
Here's a review (http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/c/caribou/milk-of-human-kindness.shtml) that might make more sense than my ramblings ;)
Vashti Bunyan - "Lookaftering" (Fat Cat)
Beautiful, emotional folk music - Bunyan's voice is something else, though may not to be everyone's taste. A review and some background on both the lady and her rediscovery of music after a gap of 35 years can be found here. (http://www.noripcord.com/reviews/B/vashtibunyanalbum.html)

Driving and uplifting without any hint of irony or cheese - very good indeed. Caribou used to be Manitoba but it's still all new to me.
I think I recommended this earlier in the year? "Folktronica" is a word that has been used, but it still falls short of describing it. The first track (Yeti?) is one of my favourites of the year. Up in Flames (from when he/they were Manitoba is worth checking out too)
We are going to see him/them live on Thursday night. Should be interesting if nothing else. Will report back.
-
Oh yes, so you did (http://ukbouldering.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=3993&highlight=caribou) :oops:
Still, damn good stuff anyway....and now I can go round saying, "hey, I'm into Folktronica" and sound really mysterious...or not.
-
Hey when you are on the cutting edge........
Got "Based on a True Story" by Fat Freddy's Drop when I was in NZ. Excellent funky dub.
Also has anyone checked out "The Editors" yet? Listening in the car again this morning, it's really good.
-
the new doom album came out yesterday, its outstanding!!!
defo gonna be rocking it on the way to the crag!
-
I have the new BOC on headphones at the moment.... only into track 4 so can't offer judgement as yet but I do like the more obvious guitars so far..
Bubbs - I'll check out the Vashti Bunyan LP. On another folk tip, those Davy Graham LPs I was on about are well worth getting as they've stood up to repeated listening. I also picked up a re-issue of Fotheringay's self-titled album which was Sandy Denny's first outing after she quit Fairport Convention.
The new Jack Rose long player, Kensington Blues is absolutely fantastic. Instrumental steel string fingerpicking, close miked and beautifully recorded with a range from long drone raga style pieces similar to Robbie Basho to full-on Ragtime shuffles and moaning blues slides played on a lap steel. One of the best albums of 2005 for me at any rate.
Theo Parrish has released another Sound Signature 12" - another must have if you are into super minimal house - perhaps one for oldies or those with an acquired taste & an 80s/90s related long-term seratonin deficiency.
Pelican and Jesu on the metal/not-metal front and Mastodon's Leviathan for psyching up/lifting weights and beeef.
-
Bubbs - I'll check out the Vashti Bunyan LP
If you like it, then try the original one too: "Just Another Diamond Day" - she's singing some serious folky nonsense, but hey, it was the 70's. Her younger voice is just the purest thing though. Amazing sound.
-
This week I have mostly been listening to....
Killing Joke :wink:
-
I used to quite like Killing Joke but not heard any for years.

What is this? When I google for doom I get (shockingly ;) ) lotsa gaming info. :?
-
probably the MF Doom and dangermouse album, that's just been released. It is very good... But all expletives are deleted (due to contractual agreements with the use of samples from Aqua Teen Hunger Force). If you don't know what ATHF is then do a search and download some episodes, it is FUNNY
-
We are going to see him/them live on Thursday night. Should be interesting if nothing else. Will report back.
Caribou live at the Tunnels, possibly one of the most unusual gigs I have been to for a while. The 3 members of the band did their fair share of multitasking, sharing the responsibilities for 2 drum kits, keyboards, 2 guitars and various other random instruments among them. Plus some slighlty bizarre, but inspired visuals going on too.
-
Swollen Members - Bad Dreams
(not so easy to get hold of it seems...)
More phlava than a week's worth of thai curry :wink:
-
I've got "Heavy" by the Swollen Members coz I liked the track "Watch This" which was on The Collective MTB Freeride vid. Not listened to the rest of it though, I've got 80 albums to tag up and put on the iPod :shock:
-
Anyone fancy burning me a cd of this Jack Rose fella? Struggling to find it in the shops...
-
It's on Soulseek, but hard to find even there. Can burn you one but not sure when I'll see you next! PM me your address and I'll send you one if you like.
-
Nice one! Instead of posting, how's about another UKB meet at the Devonshire Cat one night next week???
-
We should definitely have another one sometime - tricky at the moment though coz I'm working late a lot.......when's Jim back from Bali? It'd be wrong to meet without a man who likes his beer so much.
-
Jim is back next week, though as a married man I'm not sure nights at the pub will be on the agenda anymore.
-

JB try...
www.volcanictongue.com
His "Red Horse White Mule" and 'Opium Music' are also top notch.
-
Nice one dood. I'll get a cd off Bubba, then I get the vinyl if its amazin.
-
Jim is back next week, though as a married man I'm not sure nights at the pub will be on the agenda anymore.
yeh right.
make it the week after next. after tuesday.
since everybody's friend jim is away, n coinsidently so are sad losers like the beekeeper n me
-
Matt Groening (creator of The Simpsons) is doing tonight's Breezeblock mix - might be interesting - anyone recording it?
-
Jim is back next week, though as a married man I'm not sure nights at the pub will be on the agenda anymore.
outrageous.
I'll be up for a pint or 6 next week when I've recovered. I'll get the wife to drive :D
-
I see the Mattafix album is out on Monday, what do peeps reckon?
-
Never heard of Mattafix, but I'll check it out :)
-
new afx album hangbale audio bulb is out on monday, got mine on preorder from warp. mashed potato. m-a-s-h-e-d p-o-t-a-t-o! well worth a listen if you like afx type shizza!!!
-
Is this different to Hangable Auto Bulb? Which was released 10 years ago....
-
Oops, sorry, it's a re-release - been floating around p2p for a while...damn good stuff anyway :)
-
Long awaited and much anticipated, the new Richie Hawtin masterpiece is available on p2p. DE9: Transitions is the latest release in the DE9 series and is brilliant.
Just got this today - It's an excellent mix of minimal techno and the high quality is maintained throughout - not sure I'd describe it as a masterpiece, but then I've never revered Hawtin like many do.
It almost sounds quite dated in some ways - back to the minimal techno of the mid 90's....but that's not a complaint.
Interesting that it was done using Ableton Live, just as Sasha's last mix album was. A lot of DJs seem to rate A.L. so I found me a copy and it seems pretty cool. It'd be good with a proper dual channel soundcard (for queuing) and with an external controller rigged up might be a feasable alternative to decks and vinyl. I'm thinking that it's pretty much time to sell the technics and go the way of digital instead. I'm still tempted by something like Serato/Final Scratch though as well.

This is sweet:

Pest - "All Out Fall Out" (Ninja Tune)
Pest are a five piece collective taking in a classically-trained cello player, an ‘avin' it hip hop DJ/MC, one of the trombonists from the Bollywood Brass Band, a techno producer and a guitarist who is so good that Gibson paid to put him through music college. The result of this combustible mixture of styles, attitudes and characters is to be heard all over “All Out Fall Outâ€.
-
I see the Mattafix album is out on Monday, what do peeps reckon?
did a quick google and now I know who these are - the folks who did that "big city life" single. I really liked the off-key girly vocal in that track but that's it - also, reviews of their album have been a bit crap so probably won't even download coz I've got that much other shit to listen through - anyone got it? any good?
-
I've just purchased a load of dark ambient, death ambient, neo-classical, drone / tone, and post-industrial CDs...
Beneath The Lake - Silent Uprising (Glass Throat Recordings)
Ex.Order - War Within Breath (Malignant Records)
Herbst9 - Buried Under Time And Sand (Loki Foundation)
PH2 - Resource (Dark Vinyl)
Profane Grace - Cast In The Mold Of The Ancients (Memento Mori)
Only managed to listen to Herbst9 (deep exotic drone ambient similar to R|A|A|N) and PHD2 (trancey drones and bleeps, quite nice for the dance chillout vibe).
And I've got tickets to go down to London village to see Von Thronstahl, HERR and Kriegsfall-U. Gonna be a dark and weird start to winter :twisted:
-
hey bubba, where did you get the richie hawtin from? I've tried to order it from hmv, and they haven't recievd it from the supplier yet. so they can fuck off. and bedford where i have the misfortune of residing has no music shop to speak off, god know's where the chav's buy their sugababes singles. and fopp has the worst website i've ever encountered..
-
I downloaded it - I've got it as an mp3 mix which is 97mins long - good soundquality. I can give you the link (it should still be up) if you want to check it out before you buy?
Actually, it's really growing on me now - quality stuff. Not really dancefloor, too moody - but good to get lost in listening at home.
Anyone know what format will the 5.1 version be in?
-
I've got it axle, if your up this way i'll give you a copy.
Bubs, where did you get pest from?
-
Got Pest on soulseek, you still on there?
-
You can get Transitions from Amazon for £9.99. Pretty decent price for a CD and DVD package. It's worth downloading the extended mix if you're mainly listening via mp3.
downloading pest as we speak, looks real interesting, and categorised as IDM so look forward to breakfast with Pest.
Jim, do you have a real copy of transitions or just a d/l?
-
Pest isn't your usual IDM - more your typical Ninja Tune stuff.
IDM is a sucky description imho, but looks like it's here to stay.
-
i dont think mnany people wil like it but 'abandon your friends' by 'from autumn to ashes' ais fuckin quality,=
-
As good as Fightstar? :wink:
-
word uncle, amazon eventually let me get involved. am listening to the glorious minimal beats now... well psyched. where be you then uncle, rumour has it das kranken, if you're in shef let us know when you might be krankin...
-
oh, and where will you 2 be goin i wonder?
nothin to add about funky beats tho. i have been listening to a lot of death cab for cutie, if this counts?
-
er wimberry?
-
Just thought I'd add a few things that I think are worth listening to;
Cocorosie - Anything by these wonderful parisian sisters is worth listening to. I can't remember if I've recommended them before, and I'm too lazy to search. Just check them out. Folk-Ghost is my description.
Stars of Track and Field - Unsure how to describe this band... some nice singing, nice guitars, nice melodies, and generally nice. Not mind blowingly good, but still worth a listen and adding to your collection
Wevie Stonder - This guy is genius. His music is fresh, verges on comedy in parts, but is guaranteed to delight. Gypsy Chimp is a particular good track.
Dave Clarke - World Service 2 - A classic from one of the legends of techno/elecro himself. It's a double cd with one being more electro and the other being more techno. Definitely worth getting.
Time Warp - DJ HELL presents Acid Rocks - I think most of you can imagine what this is like, but it is really good. Especially if you like dark vocal tech-gloomcore. ha ha... what a description. Worth getting if you are into Hell or any decent tech/electro.
ok, that's enough for now. I will listen to some of lastnights downloads and get back to you with the gems.
oh, and that pest cd was pretty good bubba. Definitely not IDM. Just nice and funky. Not amazing, but nevertheless it was good, i've even listened to it twice! cheers
-
That Cocorosie stuff is mad - one sister is an Opera singer and they record stuff at home in their bathroom and things. Not sure whether I like it or not really but it's certainly different - I'll 2nd the World Service, good banging techno.
Glad you liked Pest - I've just got their earlier album, Necessary Measures and I think I prefer it.
-
got pest off uncle, pretty good so far
-
I'll 2nd the World Service, good banging techno.
I'll third that. Especially the electro mix, which to be honest is really just how techno sounded a few years ago. Quality remix of Sisters of Mercy "this corrosion" and finishes with the unbelievably spooky "who needs sleep" by Silicon Soul. A wonderful track that sends shivers down my spine.
Am currently listening to the Shy FX and T-Power album "diary of a digital soundboy". An album with many high points but a few dull moments too. Overall a good vibe though, especially the tracks "on the run" and "mercy".
-
t-power eh?
I rememeber from uni, my mate had a t-power track on vinyl and it had the most hideous bass line I have ever heard in my life. be damned if I can rememeber what its called mind, what a banging tune
-
On the subject of DnB and indeed general hideousness, I'd heartily recommend:
VA - Future Beats Vol 2 mixed by Manifest (Renegade Hardware)
Top notch heavy tech stepping stuff that will have you throwing large objects around the house and running up the walls :twisted:
-
sounds good for training to
-
Probably a bit too hardcore for me - it would need climbers of your mighty power level Jim, to do it justice :wink:
-
As good as Fightstar? :wink:
Or should that be Shitestar?
-
Made probably my best fresh and funky beats purchase ever recently:
(http://www.hifisuppliers.co.uk/images/subwoofers/mission%20m2s%20as.jpg)
Can't believe I waited over 3 years in a room that's inimical to proper bass before buying one - has rejuvenated my listening pleasure no end :D
-
i found a load of cds last night which i thought i'd lost forever, including the unbelievably good deejay punk-roc / anarchy in the usa. i think i might ask for that to be played at my funeral...
also, a load of kool keith / dr octagon / ultramagnetic mcs stuff, which was awesome too.
-
Made probably my best fresh and funky beats purchase ever recently....
Ditto... I got this as an early Christmas present on Monday..
(http://www.goldtone.com/img/instruments/weissenborn-ss/1.jpg)
It's a Goldtone replica of a 1920's Weissenborn lap-steel guitar - they have hollow necks all the way up can only be played on the lap with a heavy slide as it has no frets and a very high action..
-
what's that choon on the font emotions vid which kicks in arond the 6-minute mark? that's quality.
-
track - 24 hours
artist - agent sumo
theyre in order on the titles...
-
Fat Freddy's Drop... Based on a true story
awesomely funky dubby stuff.

i see... just i downloaded that track and it sounds nothing klike the one on the vid... must've been the wrong track.
-
bollocks i hope thats not the case, i imagine the original for the vid was taken from my computer, which was ripped of CD ages ago, it should be right as it would have been put in manually or taken from the gracenote database... you sure youve got the right thing?
I'll look into it
as for funky beats, perhaps not fresh, but seem to be listening to sigur ros an awful lot recently.
-
no youve downloaded the wrong thing you muppet....

Aye, really good, as recommended by me back on pg 32 :wink:
-
sorry dude, i'm a newbie. Read a few pages of the thread but didn't get to the 30s. Did you see them when they came over? They were incredible. Another great cd which has probably been mentioned already too is zero 7's another late night mix. It's great. It had the dub version of witness the fitness on it. Also roots manuva are playing sheffield tomorrow and i'm in leeds visiting a friend. :?
-
No, I heard them a bit when I was in NZ, so got the CD. Unlikley they played in Aberdabberdeen anyway.

Aye, another late night is a good album, just got a copy of their live AOL sessions. Really impressive. Seen them live in manchester when they released when it falls, and they were awesome.
Sia (the female vocalist) has also done two albums on her own of which colour the small one is pretty good.
The dub album of roots manuva's come save me is good n'all, check it out. tempted to go ove to shef tommorow now...
enjoy

I like the Mylo remix of that Sia track, can't remember the name.

The Flashbulb - Reunion (Sublight Records)
Trip hop made using traditional instrumentation together with electronics. Very nice.
-
Cheers JR - have the tune pumping out as we speak...
-
This week my choice has been:
Ohmega Watts 'The Find'. I copped this from a review with the promise of a new/old hip hop banger, expecting a new wave DJ Premier style production and tight mic flow ... and it delivers, with some sensitive, intelligent lyrics - until track 9 or so when the formula switches to some soully / funky shit and a female vocal, and then drops back with a modern, sample heavy, heavy heavy break and sweet vocal extravaganza.
Better than I expected actually- intially I was outraged when the rap was replaced by the singing, but on 3rd listen it's awesome - a keeper fo' sure....
-
I have been feeling old skool, mid-90s R n B lately...
R Kelly - She's got that vibe
TLC - Waterfalls
Bobby Brown - 2 can play that game
retro back of a beaten up XR2 flava word. Holla.
-
TLC - Waterfalls
I love that record - LLL's rapping at the end is really cool too.

wow, id forgotten about that record! Awesome
Currently listening to 4hero's album creating patterns, tis well jackson, chilled and funky. If even only for the les fleur track. I remembered about it from that insects with attenborough advert which its the backing track, youll know it when you hear it. The track another day is also bo.
-
and a swedish!? guy called jose gonzalez is new and good. Hes on that bravia advert with the boucing balls. check out the track heartbeats on the veneer album. smooth.

Just read that LLL's rap from Waterfalls is carved on her gravestone.
Car crashes :(

That Bobby Brown track is awesome. I read an article about him once and was shocked to discover just how rock and roll he really was. A rival for Keith Richards apparently!

Can't believe I waited over 3 years in a room that's inimical to proper bass before buying one - has rejuvenated my listening pleasure no end :D
bizarrely I've only just seen this - i love my sub - should be good for your d&b Fiend.
great for films and gaming too.
-
I always have to keep my sub down low to keep the baby asleep and all that- but t'other day I was in the understairs cupboard fitting shelves, beside which sits the 'puter and hence the sub, and if the bass didn't hurt me then spank my bare ass on Fargate. Just by virtue of the flimsy partition wall.
Now I'm just waiting for the entertainment license before I launch the hip hop and D&B superclub - debut live acts include People under the Stairs....
I thankyou :oops:
-
Yeah, it rocks, has made listening to music so much more fun, for the first week or so I didn't want to go out, just wanted to listen to lots of CDs how they should sound.
The thing is I've built a decent hi-fi up, including proper speakers, but this room has an (unusable) alcove that just sucks the bass in like a black hole. I had a bit of "but I have a good hifi I should need a sub" pride, but fuck it, there's quality tunage at stake here :8)
-
I would have thought the alcove would have made the bass sound too boomy. Problem I have is my speakers are far too big for the front room (Acoustic energies AE109's) want to get some nice bookshelves on decent stands. Would love a sub but I am still a hifi snob at heart. Still can't beat listening to Leftfield's leftism at high volume especially after 3 puffs on a apple :wink: blows you away every time
-
Jim, it can do, I have to be real careful with the sub, but it definitely enhances things.
Anyway, got some more tunes recently, neither fresh nor funky really but all very interesting...
Band Of Pain - ¿Que Amiga? (Cold Spring Records) - dark ambient.
Desiderii Marginis - That Which Is Tragic And Timeless (Cold Meat Industry) - melodic dark ambient, very nice.
Exsanguinate - The Black Acts (Crionic Mind) - rhythmic noise, good.
Henrik Nordvargr Bjorkk - Vitagen (Essence Recordings) - black ambient....dark.
In The Nursery - Composite (ITN Corporation) - classical / film track, quite like Craig Armstrong.
Gonna be a dark weekend :twisted:
-
quality choon
Way Out West - Domiantion
bangin'!
-
I've been on the d/l rampage the last few days, so have about 10Gb of new music to trawl through... Here are some of the best;
Tristan Prettyman - TwentyThree
Beautiful female folk. Just the kind of music that you put on and sit out on the deck watching the sunset, smiling and sipping your choice beverage.
Xavier Rudd - Food in The Belly
If you are into Jack Johnson, Donovan Frankenreiter, or that kind of thing, you will like this.
Manitoba - Start Breaking my Heart
Described to me as IDM, but it's so much more than that. Similar to boards of canada, Aphex, and takes you on a nice journey of electronic beeps
Richie Hawtin - Live at Timewarp 2004
The king of overground techno. This set it awesome, get it if you can. It's widely available over the internet.
what more could you want? Folk and Techno (the only two genres that matter) :lol:
-
I've just re-discovered HMS Fable by Shack. It came out in 99, and at the time I kind of over listened to it, then pushed it to the back of the cupboard for 5 years.
Anyway, it's a great album, oozing scouse charm; surprisingly uplifting and hopeful considering the subject matter (similar to the brilliant Vulnerabilia by My Computer), i.e. hanging around, getting wasted, being skint, women etc
-
Manitoba - Start Breaking my Heart

recently got hold of:
Fabriclive: Diplo (varied kind of electronic, good stuff)
" " " : Rob Da Bank (slighty mellow, blue room type stuff)
Good chilled album:
Music by Cavelight
Blokhead on ninja tune
Funky Soul:
Jamie Liddell: album Multiply (awesome)
-
Fabriclive: Diplo (varied kind of electronic, good stuff)
" " " : Rob Da Bank (slighty mellow, blue room type stuff)
I've been interested to hear reports on those two? Worth seeking out I presume then? How cool is the Diplo?
Looking through my playlist and pile of cd's at home it seems that I'm digging the following right now...
Anything by Smiley Culture. A fuckin legend. Stems from getting hold of the Roots Manuva (another legend) "Back to Mine" thingy which includes some quality new and not so new stuff. There's also a nice revist of the classic LL Cool J track, "going back to cali". Oozes the quality.
On a breaks front, a recent TCR mix by Rennie Pilgrem. A range of stuff, some of which is tres bon. A fair few tracks with more than a nod to techno rather than the usual breaksy nod to DnB or funk (not that there's owt wrong with that either).
And erm... from waaaaay back: Surfarosa by Pixies. Gods among mortals. 'Nuff said.
-
Surfer Rosa is one of the best albums ever made. Proper gutsy, passionate music.
I wore that record out in 1988.

How does it compare to "Up in Flames" and the Caribou Album?
-
not psyched particularly by the new caribou stuff, don't find it was up to much repeated listening. there are some old singles from ages ago that are quite bleepy, i had em on vinyl, but can't seem to remember the names. they were very good.
currently i'm listening to a 5 hour set from hawtin from club gorok in russia and it mis compadres is the fucking shizzzle.
-
Surfer Rosa is one of the best albums ever made. Proper gutsy, passionate music.
Ain't it just? I always struggle to pick between Surfarosa, Doolittle and Come on Pilgrim though. Such quality throughout (and I even really rate Bosanova big style, it has a cool feel to it). Pixies were the major soundtrack to my teens, although...
I wore that record out in 1988.
...it was a bit later than 1988 I'm afraid. But I'm still rinsin' them out frequently at the mo. Not that any Pixies stuff can be called "fresh" these days, just "tried and tested".
-
I've just re-discovered HMS Fable by Shack
Quality album Si, the new one is worth checking out as well, I think I had the album cover as my avatar a while back.
Pixies were the major soundtrack to my teens
I somehow missed the bandwagon on these Ben, but my girlfriend has been battering me round the head with them lately. Interesting stuff!
-
...but it was released in '88. (not that I'm being pedantic) I keep forgetting that I'm an old fecker, and not that that is such a bad thing. Look how much fun Streaky is having, and he's 102 years old!
Hey Fatneck, perhaps it was your avatar that subliminaly prompted me to dig that album out again. No doubt I'll soon get the urge to listen to some Smashing Pumpkins...in fact I've just put 1979 on the cd player.
Better now. :8)
-
Haha, I wasn't aiming to suggest that anyone was an old fecker. But since I now realise your true pedantic motivation Simon, I salute that. Music and climbing are all about pedantry huh? I guess I just smarted at the thought of being such a late arrival on the Pixie vibe. They only had one album left in them when I got round to discovering them, and we all know that their final album was hardly their best.
-
Bit of a change this week, just downloaded the entire Pogues discography and an excellent double CD of all The Clash's best bits. Nice :)
Really wish I'd seen The Clash live back in the day :?
-
i saw them 3 or 4 times.the best time was at the queens hall in leeds.they were supported by the specials who were one of the shitest bands i ever saw.
have you listened to any of joe strummer later stuff.some of its pretty good.
-
No I've not, is it recorded under his name or as part of another band?
-
joe strummer and the mesclaros[i'm sure thats spelt wrong but its that mexican cactus drug thingy].
-
Some of it is pretty good, but pretty hit and miss.
-

the specials are actually ok... i downloaded too much too young (beardown again)!
but then my dad recognised it so i was a bit worried.
-
if i disagree with you about the specials.you won't go all paranoid on me,you know "NOBODY LOVES ME WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS" type stuff.
-
It doesn't surprise me that the Specials were ropey as a live band, because Terry Hall has hardly got what you'd call a strong vocal presence.
I bought Too Much, Too Young when it first came out. Everyone used to claim that they were a face in the crowd on the EP cover. I never made it to the gig - got confused by the bus timetable and ended up at Anglezarke Quarry instead.

even bouldering in lancs quarries is preferrible to watching/listening to the specials. :wink:
-
In case any you are interested & don't know, DJ Format is playin Tuesday Club (Shef Union) this comin Tuesday (13th Dec). Saw him last year and he was totally rad (obviously Abs and D-Sisive where great to). Anyway, get yoursleves down there!
Word to ya mother!
& right back to the Specials............
-
Second that Matthew, Format is the dogs. But I'm sure those inclined that way know it already yeah?
On a tangent, anybody (Fiend I guess for starters) know of any decent and upfront DnB download sites? :?: Hard rather than noodling if possible. Cheers.
-
Hmmmmm. I told the Ms. we should be going to see Format and Calibre, but the stupid lass is going down to the smoke for a few days, DOH. Not sure I'm up for a lonesome mission :?
BenF, ummmm I can't help that much, almost all the mixes I have are from several years browsing the DNBA forums: http://forum.breakbeat.co.uk/tt.asp?forumid=2 , unfortunately the threads are lost in the archives and the search function is fucked so although I know the names of some good harder mixes (Gigantor, Hostile Demo Mix, Noise, The Upbeats etc etc) they'd be a bitch to find :? Although if you can be arsed to register and put up with the off-tangent BS that fills the forum, a request for "Hard/techy DNB mixes please" would probably get a decent response.
I'm probably better for CD advice :wink:
-
Thanks Fiend, I'll maybe have a look at that breakbeat site. I've only just got round to exploring the joys of downloads from the web, so I'm expecting it to be a painful process with a steep learning curve. As you say, there's a lot of BS out there. Come to think of it, there's a lot of BS everywhere...
Have a good weekend.
-
Worth checking out imo
Boy Kill Boy - Civil Sin is one the best, catchiest songs I've heard all year.
The Walkmen - Sort of like Interpol, The Rat is one their best songs.
Computerman - No More Broken Hearts is their best song imo.
Mew (no, not the pokemon) - Heard these guys ages ago, totally forgot bout them then saw She Came Home For Christmas on mtv2 the other day. Absolute choon.
Son Of Dork - Eddies Song is possibly the best song of the year.
:wink:
-

Somehow you putting that in has kind of put me off checking out any of your other recommendations, bearing in mind you recommended Shitestar too.
:wink:
-
I like both types of music: drum and bass.
So, anyone got an opinion on the Calyx album? I'm listening to a Moving Shadow Calyx mix and like it very much. Obviously a DnB album can be a strange fish, often randomly bo one minute and then shite the next. How does Calyx's stuff hold up? If it floats your boat anyway, I guess it's a bit of a useless question to a lot of people. :roll:
-
http://www.jcbsong.co.uk/jcbvideo.asp
Did Bonjoy have anything to do with this video?
-
I like both types of music: drum and bass.
Yes yes the man talks sense.
Calyx's album is pretty good and very consistent in it's tech-step style. However I would probably go for the Moving Shadow 05.2 album which is probably what you are listening to and has some more bite.
If you want harder D'n'B album ideas the following recent ones are highly recommended:
Blame - 720 Revolutions (720 Records)
Teebee - The Legacy (Subtitles)
VA/Manifest - Future Beats Vol2 (Renegade Hardware)
Also from last year:
Dom & Roland - Chronology (Moving Shadow)
Klute - No-one's Listening Any More (Commercial Suicide)
VA / Swarm - Enter The Hive (Swarm records)
This is assuming that you already own these essential classics:
)E|3( - Digital Nation (BC Recordings)
Black Sun Empire - Driving Insane (BSE Recordings)
Dieselboy - The Dungeon Master's Guide (Human)
And if that's not enough:
Future Prophecies - Warlords Rising (???)
VA/Evol Intent - Us Against The World (Barcode)
Black Sun Empire - Cruel And Unusual (BSE)
VA / )E|3( Presents - Bad Taste (BC Recordings)
Kryptic Minds / Leon Switch - Black Out Vol 1&2 (Defcom Records)
Bizzy B - Science EP 3&4 (Planet Mu)
And then I guess you should be hunting out some CDs by...
DJ PishPosh, Concord Dawn, Futurebound, Sketch & Code, other Renegade Hardware compilations, previous Teebee and Klute albums...
-
However I would probably go for the Moving Shadow 05.2 album which is probably what you are listening to and has some more bite.
Yup, that's what I was listening to when I wrote that. Thanks for the top dollar recommendations Fiend, much appreciated dude. I'm onto some of that stuff but I shall check out some of the recent ones as they will be new to my ears. Been avoiding record shops for a while now, but I feel a sudden urge to renew my friendship with the darkside. DnB has taken a lower profile since returning from NZ last year. Living in Christchurch it was impossible not to listen to DnB pretty much constantly. Even if much of their DnB is a bit cheese laden.
I was planning on spending my lunchtime listening to a few tracks on the DnB tip, but have ended up randomly wandering round my directories, hence why I am yet again listening to a bizzare playlist that includes various reggae vibes, Shy FX, Prodigy and Scratch Perverts. God knows what I was doing when I picked that one.
-
Don't know if the old Sigur of Ros have been getting much of a big up for their new album as I can't be arsed going back through nearly 40 pages of chat!
But I bought it a while ago and hadn't really listened to it till I heard one of the tracks on the radio last week. Since then it is never out of my CD player. Beautifull, blissed out music. A perfect level of melancholy to complement my general despondancy at not climbing due to wrist surgery.
Amazing :!: :!:
-
Don't be too despondant Si, you must be near the end of your lay-off huh? Anyway, at least you haven't had the joys of driving across the country to look at wet rock then drive home again. :cry:
Are you back in fighting form in the next week or so? With school holidays coming up I plan to try and get some sh*t done. So get in touch with me or that lanky Welsh Treebeard fella if you're keen.
-
Managed 5 pain free pull ups last night so getting there!
Have been invited on the annual 'Pool Bouldering Massive Xmas driving-round-the-Peak-looking-at-wet-rock event next week so will prob see you then :wink:
-
and back to the subject... although this isn't folk or techno, it still gets a thumbs up from me.
The Strokes - First Impressions of Earth - It's the kind of thing that is good when you listen to it for a while but soon gets a bit boring a lame. Luckily i have only listened to it a little so it's still good. Not amazing, but something I would recommend listening to.
-
hit me with the knowledge, how many manu chao albums are there except Proxima Estacion Esperanza and Clandestino?
-
there is also Radio Bemba Sound system and Sibérie m'était contéee.
-
You should get some Aphrodite he rules he is the 1 and only urban junglist!! :8)
-
Actually, some of the stuff Aphro has been producing in recent years has been pretty phat, he's got some nice rolling tracks which do a better job of being good jump up jungle than the wobbly crap by Twisted, Clipz, et al. Unfortunately he generally releases them on mix CDs of variable quality.
Anyway, I'm quite chuffed today because I found the best hip-hop track ever, well, a contender anyway :wink: Son Doobie - Dub Sacks And Blunt Raps , just a brilliant quirky funky beat. Dope.
I ordered the album, on Battle Axe Records, home to the mighty Swollen Members amongst others. Definitely worth checking the label's shit out.
-

Been loving this - uplifting, funky and soulfull. Alice's voice is amazing and the band are spot on too.
(http://www.tru-thoughts.co.uk/gallery/albums/releaseArt/TRUCD082_72dpi.thumb.jpg)
Alice Russell - "My Favourite Letters" [Tru Thoughts]
Alice Russell has gained an enviable reputation as one of the hottest singers in the UK right now. Her recent tracks with the Quantic and Quantic Soul Orchestra projects have proved to elevate her profile further. Alice's lavishly soulful voice is both timeless and up to the minute modern. Whether live or on record, she always performs with her trademark self assurance and sass. Her style is a predominantly bluesy, soul lament but encompasses everything from funk to gospel to jazz and beyond. Her performances have that rarest of qualities; the ability to captivate the audience and command its attention, creating music that tugs at the emotions and raises hairs on the back of the neck. You really can't fake what Miss. Russell's got!
Alice grew up in an environment where she was constantly surrounded by music, and went on to follow her gut instincts and natural talents to pursue a career as a vocalist. Her father was an organist and this combined with her experience of singing in various choirs ensued her with a classical background which proved pivotal for her choice of career.
Citing such golden voices as Minnie Ripperton, Eva Cassidy, Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, Aretha Franklin as well as Jill Scott as her primary influences, Alice is no stranger to taking centre stage. An accomplished chanteuse, Alice's sensual, sublime voice has seen her work on many different projects in a number of capacities. Her work with Bah Samba (who released on Estereo Recordings) finds her fusing latin sounds with tinges of house, uplifting jazz and funk, where as her material with band Kushti, reveals a more laidback, hip hop and soul inspired sound.
Alice always pens her own songs; working on many different collaborations with other musicians, something that she states has been an important influence on her solo work. Her songwriting is always quick witted and melodic and as her own solo project she has the opportunity to flex her skills and talent further. Her solo outing is a Live 9 piece band – ‘Alice Russell Live' comprising of a prime selction of talented musicians.
In July 2004, Alice delivered her debut solo album, ‘Under The Munka Moon' , for Tru Thoughts Recordings. A mixture of both her earlier collaborative efforts and brand new songs, the album covers a host of different styles, from the smooth soul of “Hurry On Nowâ€, produced by TM Juke, to the delightful acoustic song “Sweet Is The Airâ€. ‘Under The Munka Moon' includes tracks written with Bah Samba, Kushti, Nature Boy, and Quantic, with additional production and remix work from Digitek, Atjazz, and Plaid: a formidable host of studio talent to support Miss Russell's supreme vocal skills.
However, her solo album is not the only place to catch Alice at work: the unique and captivating flavour that her distinctive voice brings to Tru Thoughts is evident on her collaborations with both Quantic and Quantic Soul Orchestra. Having been the principal vocalist on such classics as ‘Sweet Calling' and 'Search The Heavens' both on Quantic's 'Apricot Morning' Album, and more recently on Quantic's Soul Orchestra's debut funk bomb LP ‘Stampede'. The tracks she features on include ‘Something That's Real' , ‘Take Your Time Change Your Mind' and of course the now classic, anthemic cover of 4Hero's gem ‘Hold It Down' , this further adds ignition to an album that has been described by the Independent as ‘authentic funk with a modern twist'.

For those of us on here who Oink, I've just uploaded Alice Russell and will be seeding for ages....

cheers bubs, d/ling now

Some last minute phatness for anyone feeling musically undernourished over the festive period:
Son Doobie - Doobie Deluxe (Battle Axe) - phatass hip-hop with a slight gangsta feel. Solid beats and some class tracks.
Rob The Viking - Beats To Pillage And Conquer By (Battle Axe) - instrumentals from various Battle Axe releases, top quality stuff, real dope beats with nice melodies and stuff.
Hardcell and Grindvik - Gainlane (Drumcode) - proper banging dancefloor techno for a bit of change, good for Xmas day I reckon, haven't listened to it all though.
:twisted:

I got this for Chrimbo...

You might remember singing the praises of 'Goodbye Babylon', a boxed set of pre-war Blues, Gospel and Hillbilly music some time ago (which ended winning a Grammy). Well those nice folks from Dust to Digital have issued another lush boxed edition of the best of Fonotone Records which were the last of the 78 rpm record labels run by a guy named Joe Bussard our of Maryland. 6 CD's in a nice cigar box, lots of postcards a book and other ephemara.. and as for the music.. well lets just say everyone should have one in their record CD collection... artists as varied as the Bald Knob Chicken Scatchers, the Possum Holler Boys, Blind Thomas and Danvile Dan turning out Bluegrass, Blues, Jigs, Reels and Ragtime jams... goddamn!!
-
And now for something completely different:
http://www.fiendy.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/darkamb.html
Sort of beginner's guide to dark ambient and similar music, based around my experiences getting into this genre. Links, reviews, etc. Maybe useful maybe not, maybe the genre is appealing maybe not. See what you think.
-
on radio one now there's some live D&B and dance from this past year. sounds good.
-
I got the nirvana box set for christmas. It's all either rarities or previously unreleased demo/acoustic/live versions of a lot of the songs of the three albums. Personally I think it's great.
-
I've got a few Nirvana albums - don't listen to them much but I do really like them. The band that spawned a million imitators?
-
I have recently downloaded and am enjoying:
- Jim Noir - Solo/singer song writer but sounds quite quirky and modern. A review says: Jim Noir is something of an enigma. Emerging fully formed from Manchester, he is a one-man psychedelic pop factory, a wunderkind who has created three much sought after EP's without even a live show to his name. He spews forth perfectly crafted songs, capturing both the sublime and ridiculous aspects of the psychedelic boom of the late sixties. His creations are brimming with a peculiarly British sense of eccentricity but are dragged into the 21st century by his one man and a computer recording ethos.
- The Strokes - First Impressions of Earth. Not much to say here, its the Strokes i.e catchy indie pop
- Wolf Parade - Apologies to the Queen Mary. Probably the current darlings of the music press but still very good. Sort of indie with touches of the Arcade fire.
All sourced from the little piggy site.[/list]

I think I listen to them all too often; hence I'm a melancholy cunt most of the time. :( lol

hold up
if anyone was watching E4 or soem shiut like that today you may have seen soem of the kanye west live abbey road thing on. it the same footage that was webcast on the bbc when it was on the radio, but also some other tracks that i'm sure weren't on the radio broadcast, think the radio only played the first half it seems. programme was good and showed some of the rehersals and shit. watch out for it incase they repeat it.
also watch out for some DVD/CD flava cos i recone they'll being it out sooner or later.
-
On the subject of Kanye West - if you like Kanye, you'll probably like this coz it's produced by him (or a large part of it is) - only listened through it once but it seems like high qualidy stuff.
Common - Be [Geffen]

will do G, tho of course I will be at the Hammersmith Apollo gig in mid-Feb and I can't wait.
and Bubba, that latest Common album is well Jackson, think I almost wore my Cd copy out over summer! IMO, hard to find a duff track on it.
Did anyone see K T Tunstall covering "I want you back" on the New Year Hotanannnannannany?? Word, her music may be MOR Radio 2 fodder but I still fancy her. Same goes for Katie Melua.
-
Word, can anyone drop the shizz on Aphex Twin? Like which album should I get first? I've got three tracks, Windowlicker, Flim and Polynomial C. Are these representative of the flava one can expect?

They're pretty much all worth getting really - the one I listen to most at the moment is Drukqs - you can get some sample mp3s here:

This is the Aphex album to get. If you like it, dig deeper, but none of the other stuff is as consistently good.

Absolutely brilliant album. Have got the original, can put it on Oink if anyone wants it
-

I disagree. 'Tis a fine and classic album though.
Jim, got it already.
-
All the other aphex albums I find I have to skip the odd track cos it's just a noise... not so on this one, which for me makes it stand out.

Booger, p2p doesn't work on my PC or the school computers... Fooken win98 and SurfControl!
Do the files download as .torrent, so I would need the BitTorrent program? It sometimes works in my PC.
-
yes, you would need bittorrent but like i say, you won't be able to access Oink anyway.
-
Yeah, but Jim was going to upload it, therefore I supposed Jim would invite me!
-
I think Jim meant existing Oink users - you only get 4 invites from Oink after you've uploaded 20gb and they are like gold dust so they usually go to mates, etc.
-
Sorry, I've only upped 4gig so a long time before I get any invites I'm afraid

p2p has a bad reputation in some people's eyes, but if you're sensible it's fine.
You'd almost certainly find lots of Aphex stuff on Soulseek, which is a very good p2p network for electronic music:

Selected Ambient Works 85-92 is the canine's testicles! Absolutely amazing! I also have Druqks but find I can't listen to it for very long without changing to S.A.W 85-92.
The way i obtained these was very dodgy to the average onlooker...
I approach a guy and I say "have you got the druqks for me?" and he says yeah, and slips me a white envelope...
-
Imagine a death metal version of The Go! Team spliced in with chunks of The Strokes and The Cockney Rejects and you're still not even halfway to imagining just what Test Icicles, possibly the most important and exciting band in Britain at the moment, sound like. Raucous, horsy punk shouts and screams intermingle with strange awkward techno beats and the occasional melodic chorus to create a bizarre, offensive, gauche, challenging but ultimately extremely rewarding record. At times For Screening Purposes Only does wander too closely to ‘art project rock' but always pulls itself away from pretentiousness with its sheer vitriol, energy and humour.
Forgive the attempt at writing like an NME reviewer people, but I didn't think 'Test Icicles are very good!!11one' would do these guys justice. :D Bottom Line; best thing Britains produced for a long time, but they do require patience when being listened to for the first few times.

Anyone heard of madvillain?
Just got the album last week and it is mad hip hop flava. I gots more rhymes than the church got ooh lords yo.

-
indeed, although i think the Viktor Vaughn: Vaudeville Villain album is my favourite of MF Doom's most recent offerings.
On a UK hip of flava has anyone checked out DJ Skully and Klashnekoff's mixtape, Focus Mode? http://www.focusmode.com
well worth checking out, and cheap in most shops (or free to some i guess...)
-
have you got the druqks for me?" and he says yeah, and slips me a white envelope...
"drukqs" is actually meant to read "drug use" ;)

It depends. I've read intervies where he just claims he "made it up," others that it is meant to mean drugs.

Kind of like the rapper Fur-Q on the Day today? With his genius hip-hop mash up of Phil collins' 'Uzi lover'...

Genius, was on a few weeks ago. Sheer class

word, just got the web hooked up at twotone towers and now on a p2p flava one time.
Latest hitz:
Original version of "Ceremony" by New Order (pre Martin Hannett mix) - raw as fook.
Ben Fold and Rufus Wainwright covering "Careless Whisper" - sounds wack, but if two great people get together to sing an average song, it sounds ill.

what is the name of the choon at the beginning of Ireland movie?

i got quite into peaches on my recent travels. thought the teaches of peaches was rather better than fatherfucker, but all quite interesting nonetheless. when i had it on in the car lots of people looked at me like i was a bit strange though. of course, that could have been down to my long blond mullet and constant dribbling...
i also rediscovered the grooverider fabric album which i had initially dismissed as painful noise. i now reckon it's rather good, and especially useful if you need to stay awake on a long car journey when you have no access to the necessary pharms. i think i had ed rush - alien girl on repeat for the last 100 miles of one particularly soporific section.
-
currently relaxing to gil scott heron's piano overlord. and fat freddy's drop. which is good as background music but not up front.
on the subject of fabric; the Aim and Scratch Perverts fabriclive joints are banging.

Anyone hear the Arctic Monkey's cover of Girls Aloud's "Love Machine" that was on R1? Sheer class :)
-
I heard it, they were having a reet grin by the sound of it.
Bought the album yesterday, is excellent.
-
get some The Faint - imagine a far more upbeat version of Interpol who use synths and keyboards instead of guitars. very good. choice picks include - Hospital, Agenda Suicide, Glass Danse, Call Call and Dust.

is SAW vol.II any good? I was wondering if it was worth splashing out on it...
p.s i mean Selected Ambient Works and not the crappy gore-fest horror show...
-
is SAW vol.II any good? I was wondering if it was worth splashing out on it...
p.s i mean Selected Ambient Works and not the crappy gore-fest horror show...
I rather like it - be warned though, if you're hoping for a sequel in a similar vein to SAW 85-92, then you may be disappointed. Very much an avant garde collection of ambient noises, some very nice ones, but very downtempo and far less upfront by comparison to 85-92, each track tending to be long ebbing and flowing developments of a repeated theme. Actually it's probably fair to say that it's properly 'ambient' background sound, for the appropriate moment it's quite beautiful.
And, looks like Amazon have it for less than 8 squid, here (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000024C6W/qid=1138313573/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_11_2/202-2763062-3870215) which is great value for two and a half hours of quality.
So after all that, yes, IMHO, as long as you aren't expecting more of the same...
-
I have heard Blue Calx and it isn't really that exciting... I couldn't listen to it on my mp3 player, but i could listne to it when at home...
-
What Underground said.
Is Ambient music supposed to be exciting?
I don't think I've ever listened to the whole of SAW Vol II in one sitting - probably would with the right drugs.
-
nextmen DJ-ing at phonetics in sheff on sat night. saw em in brixton other year. should be amazing.

Thanks to Little Paul's recommendation of seekasong.com I'm currently listening to Blink182s track "I won't be home for Christmas". This contains the charming verse

'Cause a guy named Bubba unwrapped my package,

Just thought I'd share that with y'all.

This is fun - huge mashup, 153 songs in 5 minutes.

(link may run out of bandwidth soon)
A bit like Osymyso's "Introspection" but twice as many tunes in half the time.
Did you ever find a version of the dj food mash up without the documentary bits in?
-
No, but I bet somebody on oink will have it.
-
anyone got the new coldcut album yet? its supposed to be very good. Think I might even purchase it :shock:
-
Did you ever find a version of the dj food mash up without the documentary bits in?
It's still out there ont web. Google "DJ Food Raiding the 20th Century Original", or "DJ Food XFM Superchunk" In fact I had a little look and I think this is one without the dialogue, but I didn't want to download it to check:
http://www.bearink.co.uk/downloads/hi/Raiding-the-20th-Century-A-History-of-The-Cutup.mp3

the one I've got witht the dialogue is 72 mb and this is 52 so it probably is. I'm d/ling it anyway

Pretty fresh but definitely not funky, I've placed an order for the last batch of dark ambient this winter (autumn / winter music only) :
Bad Sector - Kosmodoro
Hive Mind - Sand Worms
Kammarheit - The Starwheel
Merzbow - Merzbird
Merzbow - Merzbuddha
Raison D'Etre - The Empty Hollow Unfolds
Oooooh I'm filled with anticipation already :twisted: .
Other than that I've mostly been listening to drum'n'bass of various descriptions including online mixes and CDs by Black Sun Empire, Tayla, Mampi Swift, Future Prophecies, J Majik, etc etc.
-
haven't heard it jim, but i read a review by someone i generally trust, and they said a big thumbs down...
-
Anyone hear the Arctic Monkey's cover of Girls Aloud's "Love Machine" that was on R1? Sheer class
I heard it, they were having a reet grin by the sound of it.
Bought the album yesterday, is excellent.
I don't want to add to the already hysterical hype, but I've just listened to the Arctic Monkeys album tonight for the first time properly and I really like it.
-
yer not wrong bubba.
comedy lyrics too
"your not from san francisco your from hunters bar"
class.
-
yeah, it's got a real Sheffield feel to it :)
-
only heard a few songs but poor and very samey. not even bothering to d/l it
-
Well you're a Manc so I wouldn't expect you to understand ;) :)
-
yeah, it's got a real Sheffield feel to it :)
Must be why I found it pretty dismal too, even after repeated listening. I guess I didn't get all the "in" references.
-
I do like them, but they've been hyped up far too much and will recieve an inevitable backlash. They're good but a long way from being great, original or life changing (unlike fightstar :wink: ). Cover of Love Machine is very funny though, especially when they start pissing themsevles halfway through it.
-
thing to do is avoid the hype. much better than the generic dogshit around at the minute; frank rio ferdinand, editors, al the american shit blah blah.
on a differrent note; anyone checked out the Gnarls Barley track? album due soon. incredible sound.
-
I subscribed to eMusic today - a really good legal download service with an eclectic alternative selection and an unlimited copying service once you own the tunes... worth checking out.

i reckon the arctic monkeys are as generic as anything you've listed there. putting mike skinner lyrics over guitars and drums is hardly original. but i agree they are vastly superior to franz ferdinand; possibly the band i hate the most in the world.
-
The only thing the Arctic Monkeys are good for has been inspiring me and a few mates to start a band in a bid for international stardom, the thinking being that it really must be a piece of piss if those spotty yoofs can pull it off.

are we having a "my mp3 collection" is bigger than yours competition? If so, i'll start the bidding. Currently on about 400Gb. :lol: so c'mon Jim, put your numbers up...
-
your hard drive is only 400 gigs, so where do you find room for your system files?
some people will lie about anything :roll:
-
word, I've only been on the intercom (as my mum calls it) a few weeks at home, can I go for the "least music" prize?
343MB
Eat my goal.
-
Will I have a mini-disc player, and CDs only. Nowt on computer.
Eat yer own goal.
-
the joys of 5 hard drives and 2 computers! Just need that 1TB storage unit next and I'll be sorted...
but back to some music recommendations;
Six Organs of Admittance Can't remember if I've recommended this before, but even so, check them out. For Octavio Paz is an excellent instrumental album.
Mason Jennings for some nice guitar kind of music... like Xavier Rudd... you'll enjoy it.
-
on a differrent note; anyone checked out the Gnarls Barley track?
album due soon. incredible sound.
I really like that track - which is called Crazy. If the rest of the album is as good then it'll be well worth getting.
Back to the Arctic Monkeys - I don't think they're like the best band evaahh or anything, but I like just their gritty down to earth lyrics about nights out in dodgy Sheffield pubs and clubs, etc.
-

I've got about a Terrabyte of hard disk space over 3 PCs, plus a 100gig disk that's sitting on my desk doing nowt.
But only about 100gb is music. I tend to delete most stuff that I don't want to keep.
Also got lots of mp3 archived away on DVDs if I can work out where the hell they are.

The new one in the Back to Mine series by Liam Prodigy has an alright looking track list.

blimey, that's looking good isn't it?? His "dirtchamber session" mix from a few years back is sound as a pound too.
oh, and Chris...in my defence i still keep it real with an MD player, still haven't sold my soul to apple yet :wink:

Have just been checking it out on www.tunes.co.uk along with 'An Evening with G15' and 'Isar Gold'. Both of which sound rather fine too :D
First time i've come across that site, quite impressed.

Have et to explore Boards of Canada, which is apparently a major omission on my part, as an Electronica lover.
Anyone recommend a good starting point?
-
BoC Geogaddi is always thought of to be good, and The Campfire Headphase is good too, with the exception of random long pauses aty the end of tracks- this might be because i d/led it.
-
Have et to explore Boards of Canada, which is apparently a major omission on my part, as an Electronica lover.

I'd start with "A Beautiful Place in the Country" EP then "Music has the right to children" then "Geogaddi" and finally "Campfire Headphase" although you might prefer the latter to Geogaddi...
-
Geogaddi is becoming my fave BOC album, followed by MHTRTC.
-
Chris... I'll bring you the CD's up on Monday so you don't have to buy to try.
-
Cheers Ben; I'm away on a course the whole week, but if you are going to RGU Wall, yoga or paying a visit to "The Shop" (phase 2 & 3 now complete!) can you drop them with whoever, and I will get them.
-
I'd start with "A Beautiful Place in the Country" EP
agreed. the hi scores ep is excellent too, my favourite track by boc is everything you do is a baloon, amazing, melancholy totally brilliant music. campfire headphase is ok but not a patch on the earlier stuff. i'm currently listening to speedy j, he who made the soundtrack for one summer, available on warp from the bleep website.
-
Yeah, speedyJ has done some excellent stuff.
Been listening to some Jimi Tenor stuff on Warp too - quite good, sort of jazz/techno.
-
some of it is rubbish though! anyway as bleep made a mess of my download i got a free album today, chris clark, empty the bones of you. nice clicks bleeps uneasy listening type thing. just the thing to unsettle whilst reading about syndrome of inappropriate antidiuuretic hormone. jimi tenor, neverr really got into it, some tracks are well good though i should try and revisit it.
-
Jimi Tenor's Intervision is good, was also listening to another album (can't remember which one) where only about half the tracks were good.
-
Back on the hip-hop side of things which seems grossly neglected at the moment (where are Dave, Cofe and TTT?), I put the following back on the hi-fi the other day and thoroughly enjoyed:
Ugly Duckling - Combo Meal / Taste The Secret
Obviously you get the usual UD old-skool style cheerful non-gangsta funk, but this time it's wrapped in one of those themed ideas - The Meat Shake. The sort of thing that could drive one mad as a gimmick but I find it works really well, the skits are nicely done, the whole thing is just appealingly silly, and well, for me it stands up to repeated listenings.
-
this week i rediscovered c+c music factory. if si o'connor ever puts out a bouldering video i wonder if he'd consider using "things that make you go hmmm" as the theme toon...?

Ray Barretto - La Cuna (1979)
Heard "Passtime Paradise" on Oneworld last night and thought I'd find out more - gorgeous music.
Ray Barretto a.k.a. Hard Hands (April 29, 1929 – February 17, 2006) born in New York City, was a Puerto Rican jazz musician, widely credited as the godfather of Latin jazz. He was also the first Hispanic to record a latin song which became a "hit" in the American Billboard Charts.
Barretto's parents moved to New York from Puerto Rico in the early 1920s, looking for a better life. He was raised in Spanish Harlem and at a very young age was influenced by his mother's love of music and by the jazz music of musicians such as Duke Ellington and Count Basie.
In 1946, when Barretto was 17 years old, he joined the Army. While statiioned in Germany, Barretto met Belgium vibist Fats Sadi, who was working there. However, it was when he heard Dizzy Gillespie's "Manteca" with Cuban percussionist, Chano Pozo, that he realized his true calling in life.
In 1949, when Barretto returned home from the service, he started to visit clubs and participated in jam sessions, where he perfected his conga playing. On one occasion Charlie Parker heard Barretto play and invited him to play in his band. Later, he was asked to play for Jose Curbelo and Tito Puente, for whom he played for four years. Barretto developed a unique style of playing the conga and soon he was sought by other jazz band leaders. Latin percussionists started to appear in jazz groups with frequency as a consequence of Barretto's musical influence.
In 1960, Barretto was a house musician for the Prestige, Blue Note, and Riverside labels. New York had become the center of Latin music in the United States and a style called "Charanga" was the Latin music craze of the time.
In 1961, Barretto recorded his first hit, "El Watusi", the first Latin song to enter the Billboard charts. In 1967, he joined the Fania record label where he recorded "Acid", an experiment joining rhythm and blues with Latin music.
Barretto played the conga in recording sessions for the Rolling Stones and the Bee Gees. In 1975 he was nominated for a Grammy Award for the song "Barretto". From 1976 to 1978, Barretto recorded three records for Atlantic Records, including "La Cuna", and was nominated for a Grammy for "Barretto Live...Tomorrow". In 1979, he produced a salsa record for Fania, titled "Ricanstruction", which was named 1980 "Best Album" by Latin N.Y. Magazine, with Barretto crowned as Conga Player of the Year.
In 1990, Barretto finally won a Grammy for the album "Ritmo en el Corazon" (Rhythm in the Heart), which featured the vocals of Celia Cruz. In 1999, Barretto was inducted into the International Latin Music Hall of Fame.
Barretto lived in New York and was an active musical producer, as well as the leader of a touring band which has embarked in tours of the United States, Europe, Israel and Latin America. Barreto passed away 17 February 2006 at the Hackensack University Hospital of multiple health complications.

check it word, aside from the daily "Regulate", have mostly been rockin Jay-Z's back catalogue, "Moment of truth" by Gang Starr and the last Madvillain album. Oh, and seeing Kanye live last night. He was the shizznit, if you're interested.
-
plus, going back a bit, Amerie - "One thing". Crazy beats.

Yeah, I really like "One Thing"
Here's a very interesting video about the origin and use of the Amen Break:
http://nkhstudio.com/pages/amen_mp4.html
If you have any early Hip-Hop / Hardcore / Jungle then you will have heard this a million times and it's interesting to see where it came from and how it was used. Also explores wider issues of sampling and copyright.
Appropriately, the whole soundtrack to the video is played from a dubplate.

Life without the amen break would be very empty indeed :wink:

i know there are a few DJ Andy Smith fans on here, so I thought i would pass on this info from my contact at cargo:
Friday 10th March sees DJ Andy Smith start a regular bi-monthly night at Cargo with The Document Live Sessions. The live sessions showcase Andy's impeccable taste; a palette that has compiled three of the best funk, soul and hip hop compilation albums in the last 10 years in the form of The Document series. Now Mr. Smith turns his taste buds to finding the best live acts and DJ's from around the world and putting on one hell of a "funk" spread for your delectation. Grubs up.
Andy Smith is the originator of the major-label, multi-genre mix album. When his mix-CD The Document hit the streets in 1998, it became the soundtrack for a generation who had heard Coldcut's Journeys by DJs but needed to hear more. Smith made his name as Portishead's tour DJ in the 90s and is now one of the most established and respected DJs on the international circuit.
Having sold in excess of 130,000 copies of The Document I and II, Smith has now released the eagerly anticipated The Document III on Sanctuary Records. The mix features artists as diverse as Muddy Waters, Freda Payne, Showbiz and AG, Black Sabbath and Black Grass. Other recent releases include Andy Smith's Northern Soul (BGP Records).
The Cargo night will present music from a similarly diverse field. Friday March 10th kicks off with sounds from: Your host DJ Andy Smith bringing The Document mix series flavour, Block-rocking hip-hop party DJs Eddie Rishue and John Pique (Carbon Imprints, Steady Diggin Workshop).
The live element is provided by the 60s and 70s big-band funksters The Frank Popp Ensemble, uniting modern music production and pop appeal with music styles from between 1960 and 1972 such as northern soul, R&B and funk, new funk/rock band LabRat and the B#s who will be performing their debut single Ya Mama Be Proud - out now on 7" vinyl and Brighton scratch supremo DJ Mex (Black Grass); a bona fide vinyl junkie - the kind of junkie that doesn't want help - he's happiest when he's at one with his drug of choice, vinyl. In the mid-nineties he fed his addiction by working in record shops, DJ'ing hip hop and funk breaks at seminal Brighton night Knowledge Of Self, warming up for the likes of OC, Jurassic 5 and Big L.
A great start out of the blocks for The Document Live Sessions which will see the best in funk, soul and hip-hop appear bi-monthly courtesy of Mr Andy Smith.
Don't miss it!!!

Deep electronica / glitchesque ambient album, by an Italian act, and themed around the Russian space program, including hand numbered fancy packaging (I have 287 / 795) and a detailed booklet about said program.
Actually, I think some of you lot might like this...

kind of music related i guess...I can't claim credit for this but it's my housemate's work, while trying to generate "seafood themed" 1980s songs/albums

Something I've been looking forward to for a few weeks now... release date 20th March:
(http://www.skiddle.com/images/articles/696.jpg)
Hundred Reasons, Kill Your Own. Apparently it's a return to the style of the first album, which I much prefered... Excellent!
-
Not sure if its anyone on here's bag, as I never normally post about these sorts of chi-town shindigs, but as we always have fun - Sneak V's Cassius (ok so he's pretty French..sorry!) at Sankys on Sat.
http://www.tribalgathering.co.uk
Should be sweet... fix that sink!
-
Sneak rocks.
-
word. :8)
-
you going greg? we might see you there if we don't go to roadhouse
-
Who's that with Sneak in your Avatar Greg?
-
I'm listening to Crazy by Gnarls Barkley (song from radio 1 advert) and 76:14 which is a seminal ambient album that I have only just found out about - excellent stuff.
-

Has anybody heard of Ulrich Schnauss? I heard some at a party and it seemed amazing... What's the knowledge yo?
-
And now for something completely different:
(http://www.mistermoonlight.be/dyn/hoes/2170.jpg)
Battle Metal by Turisas
The sound of this album is a blend of 80's cock rock, Death Metal, and Medieval chamber music. Most of the songs are about defeating your enemy on the field of battle and giving respect to your ancestors. In a word, genius.
(http://www.smartpunk.com/product_images/15641.gif)
Potemkin City Limits by Propagandhi
The new album by what is probably my favourite band, pretty much a must for anyone who likes hardcore, but i would recommend it to anyone who likes rock in general. The songs deal with issues from a fantasy conflict between Canada and the US to the comparison between the current US military and the Hitler youth. The album also contains the lyrics:
Superbowl patriots cheer half-time propaganda, fake titties, tooting trumpets. “FREEDOM†is in lights and is shitting itself out of Post-Hippy “Call me Sir†Paul McCartney's multi-millionaire fucking mouth. Machine guns raised. Kegs secure. Beers held high! The (Presidential) Liar is in the house. Bono's in the house! We're DOOMED! FUCKING DOOMED! FUCKING DOOMED! FUCKING DOOMED! FUCKING DOOMED! FUCKING DOOMED! FUCKING DOOMED!
Obviously this sort of music isn't to everybody's (or anybody's) taste, but i thought it might add some diversity to the topic....
-
You want funky fresh beats? Last year it was cancelled, alas...
But the Berlin Love Parade returns with a vengeance for 2006.
It surprises me that more of the 'Oompst oompst' types don't bother going. It's not far or expensive.
Why?
a) Techno. 24/7. For a whole week. (plus every other genre you care to shake your ass to)
b) Dancing girls in cling-film 'dresses'.
c) No-one will throw you out of the club for catching 40 winks on a comfy chair (as happened to my girlfriend, in 'BED', Sheffield! Cheeky fux!)
d) Did I mention Dancing girls in clingfilm?
e) It's a fucking blast.
Anyone else bothered to go before? Anyone have any cool tales to share?
-
That sounds awesome, when when when?
-
That sounds awesome, when when when?
Officially it's the weekend starting July 15th. But there are normally stacks of parties during the week before and after kick-off. Plenty.
The Parade, well, it's fun. You meet thousands of loons. So many things to laugh at.
(http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e67/houdini2/Love2006.jpg)
If an event can make grown men leave the haus like this, it's gotta be good.
-
Never been to the Love Parade but have heard many tales of utter madness - including an certain ex UK competition climber who lost his glasses and wandered round in a E frazzled daze for 24 hours before miraculously finding them again on the floor at the front of the club he'd lost them in a day before :)
Used to know a guy who DJd there to one million people. That must have been a headfuck.

Cheers, I thought it was a mate of yours or something :lol:
Yeah, DJ Heather is good too, I've got a few of her mixes.
Only ever seen Sneak live though - that might have been at Sankeys when it was the old Bugged Out. Had some fantastic nights at Sankeys.
andi_e, Ulrich S also has done "A strangely Isolated Place".
-
c) No-one will throw you out of the club for catching 40 winks on a comfy chair (as happened to my girlfriend, in 'BED', Sheffield! Cheeky fux!)?
Also happened to me! Perhaps if they hadnt thrown people out and concentrated on why people would want to go to sleep in there then they wouldnt have gone out of business.
-
Some good knowledge on this page... Propaghandi is definitely not to everyone's taste, but if you get past the "noise" then it is pretty good. I prefer their older stuff like How to clean everything but this new album is ok. I saw them live a few years ago in London, was a pretty funny gig. Loads of teen's who thought they had the world figured out...
Love Parade sounds intense, and I definitely would like to go. Seeing it here again has only reawakened that desire, so time to make the calls, and as peter kay would say "booked it, packed, fucked off".
As for some recommendations; Matthew Dear as Audion - Fabric 27 Just listening to this now and it is very very good. Matthew dear has never dissapointed me and this latest album continues his domination. An interesting choice of tracks but still a very recognisable sound. Definitely worth getting if you're into techno.

Lets face it all ya need is Young Bloods Brass band, 9piece hip hop brass band, absolutely flipping brill! Saw em last night and they were awesome!

-
That Jeff Mills shizzle sounds very interesting, I have a sort of on/off approach to his stuff (i.e. I have a lot of CDs but don't actually get that excited by the music), but I'd like to see the results of that collaboration. Cheers for the link Bubs.
Hopefully they'll get some samples up at some point...

(Hopefully Juno will restock the second one so you can search for Bubble Up and check out the play list, pretty cool riddim in that one too).
Quality stuff.

Currently sat at home debating whether to head outside 'cos it's so bleedin cold having spent the last ten days sweating in the Caribean.
Some tunage I'd enjoyed on holidays:
Omega Watts; The Find
Quality mellow Hip-Hop with production values reminiscent of the golden age (90-95) artistes Souls of Mischief, Black Sheep, Tribe etc.
Boris; Akuma No Uta:
I was expecting some japanese version of dark Sun 0>>> drone metal but was pleasantly surprised to find a great mix of Earth type stoner rock with Lazy Cowgirls/The Dwarves garage punk-rock - quite brilliant if that kind of thing floats your boat. Plus the cover is a funny rip-off of Nick Drake's Bryter Layter which is intriguing in itself.
Panic at the Disco; A Fever You Can't Sweat Out:
I bought this on the strength of the single that's been getting played on the radio and enjoyed the rest of the album. It's a little bit 'youth' for me like but there's some good tunage for old punkers to enjoy similar to Jimmy Eat World I guess.
Jerry Garcia and David Grisman (hardly 'funky fresh'); Shady Grove: After many years of purchasing different albums, I've finally 'got' what the Grateful Dead was all about and this album helped enourmously. Garcia was a Blues/Bluegrass guy before forming the Warlocks and Grisman is a mandolin player. This CD, compiled after Garcia's death by his pal Grisman is just the two of them on guitar, banjo, mandolin and fiddle working a bunch of old folk, blues and bluegrass standards.[/b]

anybody got any Múm (or is it Mùm?)? Apparenty it is "fall asleep" music, so was hoping to get some...
-
why don't you go and buy some? if people don't make any money from making their music then the music will soon dry up.
-
Why don't you go and give me some money? I don't know if I want to buy any anyway...
-
What do you mean by that? I'm always grateful every time I receive information about music. That's why I just e-mailed r-man's flat mate thanking me for the Ulrich Schnauss tip-off.
-
Ok, something constructive: I think "William Orbit - Hello Waveforms" is nice.
Thank you very much, I shall look out for it!
-

I've had a taste of Mum. You're right: great for falling asleep to; as opposed to being made to sleep.
The first few albums by the (NZ?) band "Labradford" are fantastic LP's for the somnambulist: "A Stable Reference" / "Parazision" / and "Labradford".
-
currently listening to soma FM, internet radio. primo lots of beeps and clicks.
Looks like they have added a couple of new channels now as well.
-
word, I've found some flava online hiphop on:
www.thebassment.com
enjoy fellaz.
-
Why don't you go and give me some money?.
because thankfully i'm not your mum. grow up, earn some. just because you want something doesn't mean you have the right to have it.
-
on a more positive note. i found a tape with yo la tengo's sound of the sound of science in my car the other day. forgot how amazing this album is. how jellyfish are born, pure aural heaven.
-
Andi, you can preview Mum, and loads of other electronica over at http://bleep.com/ - it's a great site.
-
Went to see the Broken Family Band last night http://www.thebrokenfamilyband.com/ they were quality. They're from the UK but they sound like they're from Nashville or something, quality alt country americana action.

I actually spent some real money on music today (gasp!) for the first time in three weeks.
I bought:
(http://www.play.com/covers/741740m.jpg)
Quantic - One offs, Remixes and B sides
It's pretty good, and you can't argue with 27 tracks for £8!
-
been listening to that on http://www.tunes.co.uk Andy, got some great stuff on it.
-
Thinking about going to see the Secret Machines on Thursday. Really like their album - anybody seen them live?
-
tried to go on sat night to see secret machines in sheff but couldn't make it. mate from work went and really rated them.

-
Updated my dark ambient reviews (http://www.fiendy.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/darkamb.html)
Covering a variety of CDs I've got recently:

:twisted:
-
I'm sure they are not to the taste of the Sheffield Hardcore B-Boyz, but check the title of track 8
http://www.embrace.co.uk/thisnewday
Maybe they've been out on the grit around Huddersfield?
-
This track has just rocked my socks:
Daft Punk - Aerodynamic
What more can I say other than... wow! The remix of it on Daft Club is better still! The same but for longer!
-
me and the missus have been having a cocteau twins nostalgia week or two with lullabies to violaine.
but this week i'll mainly be listening to hosannas from the basements of hell-killing joke
-
My sis hooked me up with the John Legend Live at the Knitting Rooms tracks, well worth getting hold of for Kanye's appearance on "All falls down" unplugged style.
More hiphop:
Little Brother - The Minstrel Show
Slum Village ft. Kanye West - Selfish (just one track but pretty blinding)
Word.
-
Recently I have been delving once again into Swollen Members - Bad Dreams (Battleaxe Records) and I cannot recommend this highly enough for you hip-hop heads, truly some of the illest, darkest beats around and some good rhymes too.
-
Nathan Fake - Drowning In a Sea of Love. Has anyone heard this yet? Had it on in the car for the first time and thought it was awesome.
He's playing in London with Mr Hopkinson's Computer, who is also worth a listen - http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=57087745
also just bought the glimmers DJ kicks, and the Rob da Bank fabric mix - going to go and have a listen now..
-
This week I've mainly been listening to breaks...
Probably not many people's cup of coffee, but here's a sample:
DJ Icey - Y4K A pleasant and varied mix with the emphasis on funky, housey breaks.
Stanton Warriors - Stanton Session 2 At last they've released this and it seems to be the business. Includes their cool mix of LCD Soundsystem's "Disco Infiltrator", the Jesse Jackson sampling "hope time" and "Dip and get low" featuring Rodney P. Comes with a second cd of remixes, just in case you have a set of CDJ's.
A track by Deekline & Wizard featuring Topcat called "Special Dedication". Very cheesy, bassy as fuck with cool noises. And Topcat chatting over the top. Great if you dig loud, cheesy, Australian style breaks (kinda like updated rave from around 1992). Bit shit if you like credible, quality, acoustic music...
Last week I was mainly listening to hiphop, mostly Rjd2 and the Nextmen. On a non hiphop tip, there's a cool reggae mix by the Nextmen called "Blunted in the Backroom". It's good.
At some point in everyday I've been trying to play Back by dope demand by King Bee and the wonderful ...And Dance by General Degree and Jacques lu Cont. That last track is a fantastic collaboration that can be found on the equally excellent album entitled Two Culture Clash (released on Wall of Sound about 18 months ago if I remember rightly).
-
Referring to my earlier tip.. Boris are playing live in Sheffield on Thursday. Don't know where yet, but if Japanese metal/stoner-rock/garage-punk floats your boat then I'll perhaps see you there after a session at the Tor or Minus Ten.
I saw Will Oldham live last night in Aberdeen, backed by a celtic/folkie outfit called Harem Scarem and drummer/percussionist of the moment Alex Neilson. It was brill..
-
Arse. That completely slipped my mind B. Had surf session in Aberdeen, could have gone afterwards.

Yep I'm enjoying the Nathan Fake stuff too. I'm still waiting for the Gnarls Barkley album to leak
-
Got introduced to a Polish band called Skalpel a while back and have been listening them quite a lot during my recent late night essay writing sessions. I would probably describe them as acid/nu-jazz and they often get compared with The Cinematic Orchestra whoever they are. Think they currently have two albums out on the excellent Ninja Tune Records.
Also been enjoying Bonobo and his 'Dial M for Monkey' album. Think this is quite old and has probably been mentioned on here before but is a truly excellent album in my opinion. Flutter would be my pick of the songs off this album and it will definately featuring on my upcoming short bouldering film.
-
Nathan Fake - Drowning In a Sea of Love. Has anyone heard this yet?
Nathan fake - now there's an interesting knob-twiddler. I met this youth in a gay club in Berlin not that long back (the kind of club where some like to wear rubber ass-free chaps with studs on the inside etc..).
He never DJ's: live performances only. And I wish I could say that he rocked. He didn't. He suffered from the same lack of spontaneity and sluggishness that many 'live artists' suffer from. However, the fact that he chooses to be based in Norfolk AND remains creative... Now that's a fucking miracle!
I first heard his work (the track OUTHOUSE) on a mix CD by the Slovenian DJ Valentino Kanzyani called "Intenique: A continuous mix by Valentino Kanzyani" on Carl Coxs' label intec. This is a blinding mix on 3 decks & FX. Heartily recommended for those with a tech-house bent and is a fine compliment to his mate UMEKs' mix CD The Torture Chamber 2(and that ladies and gentleman is hands down the best mix I've ever heard).
Oh, his labelmate James Holden is certainly worth checking-out too.
-
On a non hiphop tip, there's a cool reggae mix by the Nextmen called "Blunted in the Backroom". It's good.
word to that.
i been listening to Ghostface Killah - IRONMAN. if you like wu tang you'll like this shit. "..got a message for smokey...."
-
UMEKs' mix CD The Torture Chamber 2(and that ladies and gentleman is hands down the best mix I've ever heard).
Good choice.
Let's have some techno:
Luke Slater - Fear And Loathing Volume 1
Dave Clarke - World Service Volume 1
Marco Bailey - Sindustry
Various/Sabrettes - Pink 'n' Poisonous
Hardcell & Grindvik - Gainlane
If that lot doesn't induce some funkily robotic headnodding, I don't know what will...

I'm liking the cut-of-yer-gib Fiend: You have good taste:
Fear & Loathing Volume 1 - Not at all bad (especially the 1st CD) I can't recommend vol. 2, mind.
World Service 1 - again, not a bad choice (the electro disc kicks the shit out of the techno disc). Again, I can't recommend vol. 2. IMO, Clarke lost his techno-edge some time ago, and for me, "Devil's Advocate" reitterates the point.
Gainlain - Now yer talkin' hombre, a really cool example of turntables & laptops working in harmony. I find the last 3rd of this disc really pretty; beautiful even. Long live Drumcode!
If aggressive, mind-scraping, out-of-control 100% analogue techno lights your fire, I'd like to recommend Henryk B, the Swede. Talent and originality @ work in abundance. Watch that space, Sweden that is, it's all go!
-
Agree that both Volume 2s were disappointing.
Henryk B got any CDs out?
Any other techno CDs in that style you can recommend? Preferably ones I can check out at www.juno.co.uk ;)
-
Henrik B(erntssen, I think) does indeed have a CD, however, it's about as far removed from cranium-scraping as it's possible to be.
It is called "Kryonics" and does pretty much was it says on the tin, you get the sense that this release was recorded deep within a glacier, or some such place. It's slow, beatless, and beautifully ambient. It's almost as if it has a life of it's own.
The label (www.truesoulrecords.com) is Adam Beyers'. Kryonics is hardly the bowel-shifting racket you'd associate him with; I eagerly wait for news of Henriks' 2nd (and hopefully proper weapons-grade techno) release.
Henrik B has his own label, Illgorhythm records - you can hear snippets of the tracks plus some video material @ www.henrikb.com Alas they are short. I particularly like the video clips of Manwolf, and The Wound .
I rarely buy artist albums these days, I prefer the smörgasbord of a good mix CD; so it's hard for me to recommend an album. However, should you like your techno slightly dark and atmospheric yet devastating on the dancefloor, I'll happily recommend The Counterbalance Collection by Surgeon. A mix of his trax by the über-nerd himself. It's an oldie - but very goodie.
Also - there is are British Murder Boys (a techno act consisting of Surgeon, and fellow techwad Regis/Karl O' Connor). You can find snippets of their work @ www.dj-surgeon.com (hint: click the shopping trolley top right to access the shop section where these mp3 snips can be found. Again, just snippets but worth a listen). Alas, they've yet to make the jump to a CD or 2LP: all their work is currently vinyl only. But give 'em time. And yeah, they murder you, over and over. Stuck in The Reich, it's not so easy for me to see them, but I was lucky enough to catch them in Berlin a month or so ago - they were mind blowing. They slayed my face etc.. The poor poofs that were the audience (the club is tres homme) didn't know what fucking hit 'em. Handbag haus it ain't. Catch them if you can - it's normally Surgeon on 3 decks with Regis givin' it some on his black box. Or the pair of them behind macs. Either way - utterly recommended.
I'll trawl my brain for more.
-
Agree about the smorgasbord working well for techno CDs, I'm not a large fan of "un-themed" compilations in general but I find they work well with techno for sure...
Had a listen to the samples of The Counterbalance Collection, some of it was good, but the more abstract stuff is not really my style, I'm a sucker for the straight kickdrums in techno :-*
While I was looking around for more stuff though, I did find this: http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/197376-01.htm a pretty banging live mix from Chris Liebig, I think that will have to be ordered ;)
What do you think of the UK acid techno stuff in the Liberator DJs / Laurie Immersion / Dave The Drummer stylee?? I'm quite a fan of the sound but don't find their CDs flow as well as the other techno CDs that have been listed...
-
Chris Liebing: One of the Frankfurt dudes (maybe the best city for techno in Germany). I remember reading a quote from Luke Slater on the subject of mix CD's: "Well, I haven't heard any that I like, oh, Chris Liebing's done a great one." This is the Live @ Beograd (sp?) disc you linked.
Perhaps you might like a CD that's been out about a year on Liebings' Stigmata label. It's called "The Stigmata Collection". It has one of the spookiest covers you'll see. It's a Final Scratch mixed disc consisting entirely of Stigmata material. I think they are mixed in order of release. The music is made by Liebing and another german whose name escapes me (www.cl-rec.com will fill you in). It's really dark, tough and linear. Fast, too. Kinda voodoo/black majik with images of indescribable terror/torture techno.
This is new: Check out "Metalism" by Chris Liebing and Speedy J.
Many feel the same about Surgeon. I think he's a bit like marmite: Love/hate him etc.. But the British Murder Boys are another thing and definitely more than the sum of their parts, which is why I want to recommend the two 45min mixes of their stuff that you can find in the Audio section of Surgeons' site. One tough, one gentle; both free.
(Liberator/DtheD etc.. Hmmm... Well, it's definitely very British sounding techno, to me. But kinda part of from the "Kill 'em all, let God sort 'em out" - school. Hard and fast is no better or worse than soft and slow...but all the time? I lose interest after a while. A bit like The Arches, or clubbing in Rhyl, once every few months/seasons was OK. Every month? Nein danke.
Saw DtheD once in Llandudno @ an atrocious (18 quid) night. Loads of rooms full of white peaked caps, diabolical excrement, total dross, with the exception of DtheD who saved the night somewhat. I thought he looked a bit scary. I've noticed that Crusties are really into Chris Liberator & DtheD.)
Recommendations (not all necessarily the sounds you are after - but good shit nevertheless):
Check out the mixes on the german Fine Audio label (www.fine-audio.com) in particular the DJ Murphy 4 deck mix.
And on the same label, the 2CD mixes called Audio Community 1 by the Swedes Patrick Skoog and MP NUTS. Patrick Skoog is Top Notch and MP NUTS, nuts.
There is a 2CD Chris Liebing mix here, too. The best thing IMO is the Jay Denham mix, really cool Detroit/Teutonic techno. I'd take this guy over Jeff Mills any day.
For those out there that like their tech a bit more tribal, check out the 2CD called Perspective by Hertz. One mixed and one unmixed CD. Both are really worthwhile, totally groovey and percussive. The mix CD can be listened to in it's entirety @ www.elpmedien.com This is a distributors site with plenty to intest anyone with an interest in techno (it's down @ this time, but worth a look when it's up again).
I really rate a Benelux guy called Stanny Frannsen (AKA G-Force) whose LP Playing with the Blox is cool as. And his 2 deck mix CD on Marco Carolas' Zenit label has never let me down and never left my CD pouch in the last 4 or 5 years travels; I've almost worn this one out. I've yet to get hold of his I Love Techno 2003 mix, but I doubt it will be anything less than 1st class. Stanny Frannsen kicks ass.
There is a free Stanny Frannsen mix available @ www.ump3.de This site is a goldmine. There are too many bonefide-for-the-internet-mixes and live-sets available to list, but, Holden and Fake, Speedy J, Jesper Dahlback, Liebing, Lekebusch... too many. Gorge yourself in their Audio section. (I'm listening to the Frannsen mix now - it's cool.)
If you don't already know it, www.littledetroit.net is a cool all things electronica spot incl. many mixes to download.
-
Cheers for the knowledge, will be investigating some of those. Have got Hertz samples on at the moment.
I'd already checked out Stigmata - too merciless and cold really (and a bit fast too!).
Part of the reason I mention the Liberator / DTD stuff is because I quite like the banging nature, and I really like the sound of acid, but yeah there is something about it that doesn't always hit the mark like it should. Perhaps a lack of funk there?
-
Yep I'm enjoying the Nathan Fake stuff too. I'm still waiting for the Gnarls Barkley album to leak
gnarls barkley been leaked on oink for a while, if you dont already use it ive got a spare invite or five.
-
The rest of the Gnarls album isn't as good as "Crazy" imho.
I used to buy Surgeon stuff but it was always a bit too souless to listen to in any quantity. That was ages ago though so I need to check what he's up to these days.
-
The rest of the Gnarls album isn't as good as "Crazy" imho.
second that, and im now bored of hearing crazy
as for what im listening to at the moment, maybe not so fresh but...
pelican city - rhode island (some tracks of pilgrimage i think)
boom bip and dj osiris
tony d - pound for pound (old skool east coast)
the kooks (naive and seaside are awesome songs)
raconteurs (steady as she goes - class)
tina dickow - in the red (soft and folky, but maybe a bit poppy, from zero 7)
sophie barker - earthbound(as above but better and from zero 7)
kula shaker - K
-
Well as usual the combination of UKB p1mps' recommendations, my general enthusiasm for phat beats, and Juno's mercilessly useful playlist functions has caused some damage to the wallet. Just ordered:
Swollen Members - Balance
More of the illest hip-hop from Battle Axe records. If it's a 10th as good as Bad Dreams it will be enough.
Chris Liebig - Live In Beograd
http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/197376-01.htm
Banging techno mix.
Hertz - Perspective
http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/197850-01.htm
Another banging techno mix.
Various - Ultimate Damage
http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/209184-01.htm
At last, a proper gabber CD, none of this slowed down nu-skool gabber bollox. Mix of mostly Producer and Hellfish stuff so it's got class.
Blame - The Turning Point
http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/216147-01.htm
After his awesome 720 Revolutions CD, this is buy-on-sight territory. Trancey, uplifting and energetic Drum'n'Bass.
Word.
-
There are cool mixes by Deetron, OVR (Regis & James Ruskin), Vince Watson and Andreas Kramer here: http://www.kinetic-am.com/audio.php
Fiend, if you like hiphop & techno, check out the DJ Murphy mix available here:
http://www.ump3.de/urec/release_cd015.php
This guy really flows, has good taste and manages to bang lots of scratching into a place not normally associated with it.
I think Surgeon is one of the few Brits really worth keeping in touch with. Especially if you like Industrial music. He and the whole Birmingham sound which he was a pioneer in crafting are really influential, especially in the hard techno of Spain. Anyone who is a fan of Surgeon, Regis, Femail and Portion Reform will hear the same sounds in the music of Christian Wünsch (www.tsunamirecords.com) and Oscar Mulero (www.oscarmulero.com) to name but two.
I really like the Surgeon remix of Mogwais' Kicking a dead pig.
-
at the moment i like all american rejcts, fall out boy and snow patrol
-
as for what im listening to at the moment, maybe not so fresh but...
kula shaker - K
Jeez, put that on the other day for the first time in about 8 years. Embarrassing...
-
In a bid to try and recommend something original instead of the usual recent pitchfork reviews (although do check out Islands and the new Josh Ritter album) I thought I'd recommend this;
Elsie and Jack and Nick Drake - Sculpting from Drake This is a tribute album to Nick Drake, which might sound a bit corny and cheap, but it works really well. The music is clearly inspired/covered from Nick Drake and so if you enjoy him you should enjoy this. Some tracks work better than others, but it's nice anyway.
also, great to see a techno revival on this thread. Was very keen to read all that, thanks Houdini!
SHIT! so I've just realised the above album was reviewed on Pitchfork, they're always one step ahead!! Review Here;

The Video for Dayvan Cowboy, possibly the greatest tune ever written by Boards Of Canada. Looking forward to Trans Canada Highway, that's been preordered :D

The music is clearly inspired/covered from Nick Drake and so if you enjoy him you should enjoy this. Some tracks work better than others, but it's nice anyway.
[/url]
Thanks for that, might check it out. The pitchfork review suggests a very mixed bag, but perhaps the stand out tracks might stand out lots... If just one of them comes near the brilliance of the orginals, then it wil be well worth having. Odd that most of the tracks are from Pink Moon though. It's a great album, but the others aint shabby.
On a similiar note, for those that haven't come across it yet, the best (sort of tribute) to Nick Drake has to be John Martyn's Solid Air. Created as 'a desperate bid to reach Nick Drake whose depression had deepened considerably threatening their close friendship", it's an amazing album in its own right. A full on folk, jazz, blues, ethereal, uplifting experience.
(http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B0000071YW.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg)
One song (may you never) from that album here:

Check out this myspace thing for a recorded interview with JM about Nick Drake:
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=46144434
-
Never knew about the Nick Drake connection but Solid Air is a classic album and always on my iPod.
-
I think its safe to say only the title track was in tribute to Drake. Unless of course he was a jelly roll fan and JM was planning to pull him away from the black dog with the finest jelly rolls in town.
Good album though. Over the hill is a great anthem for anyone who goes climbing to clear the head.
-
Great album, but what the fuck IS jelly roll??
-
I think its safe to say only the title track was in tribute to Drake.
Yeah, though May You Never seems like it could have been written with Nick in mind. Or maybe that was about his bassist, Danny Thompson. Think maybe I heard that in a bbc4 documentary, which was quite entertaining. He's definitely acquired an anecdote or two. This uns pretty funny:
Just as all the pieces began to come together Martyn reached for the self-destructive button. Whilst in Australia to promote the new album he found himself at another radio station doing another interview. With the DJ and producer present, they began the interview with a John and Beverley Martyn track. He stared daggers at the two of them: "You DO realize the Bev was killed in a road accident only a week ago. How COULD you play that? I'm ready to walk out of this station, you heartless ignorant fuckers." The DJ and producer looked at each other in horror, and then John roared with laughter shouting; "Gotcha, ya dumb Aussie fucks." That night at the Canberra Theatre he continued to air his contempt for the Aussie's, with a diatribe between each song about how backward, racist and murderous all Australians were. To this day, the DJ (whom wishes to remain nameless) at the station has never played a John Martyn track.
-
Great album, but what the fuck IS jelly roll??
I've always wondered that. It pops up all over the place. It turns out that...
A jelly roll (known outside of the United States as a Swiss roll) is a cylindrical cake containing jelly or jam. It is made by baking a long flat thin sponge cake, coating the surface with jam and sometimes cream, and rolling it up. It is usually served in circular slices. A Swiss roll made with a chocolate-flavoured sponge and containing a chocolate fondant is sometimes called a chocolate log.
The term jelly roll is also sexual slang, used to indicate variously a lover, intercourse, or the sexual parts. According to the book "The Story of English, "On the street, jelly roll had many associated meanings, from the respectable 'lover, or spouse', to the Harlem slang of the 1930s, 'a term for the vagina'." [1] In blues usage, however, the cylindrical pastry was at least as easily used as a metaphor for the phallus.
The book Blues Fell This Morning: Meaning in the Blues cites a recording by Peg Leg Howell and His Gang as an example of sexual metaphor in the blues:
Jelly-roll, jelly-roll, ain't so hard to find.
Ain't a baker shop in town bake 'em brown like mine
I got a sweet jelly, a lovin' sweet jelly roll,
If you taste my jelly, it'll satisfy your worried soul
Wikipedia is indeed a glorious thing. Also found some other stuff here:

Been loving Lily Allen over the last few days.
It's sort of cheeky, rude pop music, but it's funny and interesting.
You can hear some tracks on her myspace page (http://www.myspace.com/lilymusic), including her single LDN, which is no doubt going to get a shit load of summer radio play.

I think saltbeef meant to write "worth downloading since it's available all over the web". It's just a mix cd though, done by Richie, not any new tracks by richie. Still pretty good though.

Overheard a couple of tracks from this last night http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000B6GIV8/qid=1146735232/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_11_1/026-0971389-4763659 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000B6GIV8/qid=1146735232/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_11_1/026-0971389-4763659)
It's fucking hilarious, although I don't think it's supposed to be. The swing version of "Smells like teen Spirit" is excellent. Worth buying to hear "Black Hole Sun" as well.
-
On the subject of such things, was it the Bare Naked Ladies who did a loungcore pop version of Public Enemy's Fight The Power? I remember someone had their album at school, and finding it rather entertaining...
-
They did it for the Coneheads Soundtrack Album (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000002MLF/qid=1146740879/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl/202-0727037-7995066).
I currently have Primal Screams "Velocity Girl" on repeat on Winamp. Whoop.
-
Speaking off odd covers. If you are a Will Oldham fan then you can listen to him covering R Kelly's Ignition
http://suckapants.com/2005/04/trapped-in-place-i-call-home.html
Link near the top of the page
-
Possibly the best cover of all time, IMHO of course, is The Gourds' cover of Gin 'n Juice. Saltbeef knows what I'm talking about..

Do you mean THIS?? (http://www.ezarchive.com/wwjblog/AlbumSpace/3SAQ9JVUT2/07+The+Gourds+-+Gin+And+Juice.mp3)
S'ok I suppose, but I don't really get it.
There's an impressive collection of covers over at http://www.prankster.it/ (http://www.prankster.it/) (click on "COVER MANIA")
Some of my favourites include
Mojo Nixon doing "Girlfriend in a coma"
New Model Army doing "New England"
Nick Cave doing "Disco 2000" (strangely tear-jerking)
Untergangskommando doing "Girls just wanna have fun"
Johnny Cash doing "Personal Jesus"
and
Rolf Harris doing "I touch myself" - disturbing ooh-ahh wobbleboard version. With screaming.
-
I have to agree that Will Oldham doing Ignition is totally banana's. Just two opposite ends of the spectrum meeting at 100mph (or should that be 1mph) and creating something that is more that the sum of it's parts.
Whilst on here, I want to reccommend;
VA - Idol Tryouts Two Ghostly International Vol Two This is a label compilation, but moves between ethereal abstract beat noises to more traditional techno. More info can be found at http://www.idoltryouts.com/ (http://www.idoltryouts.com/). If you're into your electronic music it's worth getting.

That's a funny album :lol:
-

Genius! :D
-
Ok, so it's not funky, but it is fresh, the new Tool album 10,00 days, is the most innovative, challenging, complex, dark and twisted record I've heard in a long time. Well since the last Tool album, Lateralus, to be precise. So it's Metal Jim but not as we know it. A must buy. Listen to bits at http://www.toolband.com
-
I've got Ben Folds covering "Careless Whisper" with Rufus Wainwright, that's pretty decent.
Apparently my mate found UK indie band like Embrace(?) doing a cover of D12's "How Come", thought that would be weird.
-
Embrace were doing the D12 cover on the last tour. Strangely likelable. Wouldn't call them indie anymore though.
-
i'm looking for some really good drum and bass found a few bits but just wondering if anyone out there can drop me some names so i can beef up me collection alittle

Steve, give me some ideas what styles you like, what stuff you have already, and what you might be after...
P.S. Have mostly been listening to instrumental hip-hop and dark classical this weekend.
-
If we're on the subject of quality and/or comedy covers, we've got to mention Snuff, the 80's punk band who brilliantly covered Tiffany's 'I think we're alone now' on the album Snuff said (http://www.google.com/musicl?lid=AHkDkr2iIiO&aid=hrb2dCwQXGL). On other albums you can find such classics as a 'cover' version of the 'shake and vac' advert. ::)
-
Or indeed Lawnmower Deth's charming rendition of Kids In America.... (Kim Wilde??)
-
i've only got a few mix cds that me mates have given me, i dont really know wot type of d&b i like i've just heard bits and pieces i really like. i'm not really into stuff too fast but somethin abit dark and funky any names or some pointers to get me started would be much appreciated if poss
-
Yo steve82
Been out the drum and bass scene a few years now, but when I was buying records every week Ed rush and Optical were the drum and bass brothers. They had a label called Virus that only put out quality, bubbling, intricate dark beats but always with a certain twisted funk to them. They commercially released an album called wormhole on CD which must be out there to download somewhere. Know the scenes moved on since then but reckon Ed Rush and Optical will stand the test of time and'll still be producing the goods probably...

-
cheers lorentz for that i've just downloaded some of ed rush and opticals stuff and its pretty good i'm liking it so far.
-
Hmph. I'm not a fan of Ed Rush and Optical - their individual stuff was great (The Raven etc etc) but together they ended up sounding pretty mundane with a few exceptions (Slip Thru, Alien Girl, Kerbkrawler).
If you like dark and funky stuff, try the following:
Maldini & Vegas - Bad Taste (ex-Bad Company members compilation of good techstep)
Teebee - The Legacy (quality groovy techy stuff)
Dom and Roland - Chronology (dark cinematic stuff)
Calyx - Moving Shadow 05.2 (good compilation of techy beats)
In addition, you really should own the following CDs:
Black Sun Empire - Driving Insane
Blame - 720 Revolutions
Big Bud - Fear Of Flying
Dieselboy - Dungeonmaster's Guide
Klute - No-one Is Listening Any More
Bad Company - Digital Nation
because they are all f---ing awesome
-
cheers fiend i mite just have to purchase some of them
-
can i get some feedback on the new chilli peppers stuff. everyone is wailing about it but i aint really heard none yet. :-\
-
Yo Fiend.
Good stuff, man. TeeBee's quality. Got the black sciencelabs album. Bad Company kick(ed) ass as well. I'm well out the loop now on the D+B front but good to hear the old names knocking around. If only I still had the disposable income to buy vinyl and the undamaged hearing to appreciate it how it should be - LOUD!
Moving shadow and Blame always good for the lighter tech funk side (as opposed to BCs hard n dark) If you want a true classic tho Doc Scott's mixmag live breakbeats experiment (vol22) is a quality dj'd journey thru dark, techy beats with some lighter omni trio chucked in to lift the spirits. Showing my age a bit there - it's 1996.
Still think Ed rush + optical kicked ass (when I were a lad). Agree about alien girl, but also check (hang on while I dive in my record box!) Zardoz and Satellites double a side (Virus002) not sure which is which but one of them is a black cauldron of bubbling dark sci-fi funk. D'ya ever hear
Ed Rush's Kilimanjaro? Also a blinder.
Anything Ram Records also used to have a finger on the pulse in the hard and fast vein.
Cor feeling all inspired now! Off for a (quiet) mix!

Something that I've been listening to and really enjoying...
Nordic Lounge - This is a triple cd compilation type thing that's so good sounding it's been awarded a new genre by my girlfriend and I. House music is all well and good (not as good as techno or folk) but this new genre is Souse music (so named because it is sexy house). It's music that make you want to groove as well as make love. It's a dichotomy between dance and sex. I made another recommendation previously about a band called Plej. If you liked that, you'll love this. Infact, they feature on it. It's available on a certain pink palace and probably at amazon etc. This is definitely worth checking out...
//enjoy
-
That's very nice uncle - I'd just call most of that "Deep House" but there we go ;)
It'll definitely be on my "Ibiza poolside" playlist later this year :)
-
This week I have mostly been listening to early Bonkers-era happy hardcore.
AND I SAY THAT WITHOUT ANY SHAME!
-
Rediscovered 'In Your Gun' (Gomez) last night, got it years ago and was dissapointed, but listening again it deserved reassessment. Maybe not up there with 'Bring It On' but pretty fine nonetheless. Bit of Zutons-esque (whose latest album is also going down well) horns on the opening track anall..
-
A good album, but not great considering what went before it. I felt the same on first acquaintance with "Split the Difference", but it grew on me even more than "......Gun". Is the live album worthwhile, or not really?
-
I've mainly been listening to Stereolab (http://www.stereolab.co.uk/) albums "Margerine Eclipse" and "Emperor Tomato Ketchup" over the last few days. Just suits my current mood, though I can't understand half the lyrics coz they sing lots of stuff in French!
-
I agree its probably the lowest point, was more suprised how much I enjoyed it after relegating it to the back of the box for ~ 5 years. Split the Diff is great, total return to form as far as I'm concerned. Wouldn't bother with the live album personally, not that it's not good, it just doesn't add much to the studio stuff.
-
On the subject of Cover Versions, the free CD with the new Q mag has some great ones notably Flaming Lips doing Kylie and Editors doing REM. Good fun.
-
Corinne Bailey-Rae covering Razorlight's "Golden Touch" live on R1 was pretty damn good.
-
This week I have mostly been listening to early Bonkers-era happy hardcore.
AND I SAY THAT WITHOUT ANY SHAME!
And good on yer Fiend. I was round at a mates house the other week and borrowed some seriously cheesy triple CD classic rave anthems or something similarly scary (obviously I hid the case out of sight whilst it was round at my flat). I can't say I've hammered it but I ripped a bunch of tracks off it and created a reasonable old school playlist. Not quite as happy hardcore as you've been sampling, but some cheesy classic stuff from circa 1992. More Altern8 than Helter Skelter.
Enjoyed it muchly though.
-
I've got lots of quality old-skool mix tapes from back in the day.
-
I recently discovered an original tape of the New Years bash at the 'Drome in Birkenhead from 94/95.
Absolutely classic. Need to get into some other format before the tape falls apart, any suggestions?
-
Depends on your soundcard - some will take an analog input so you can just feed a tape deck in, set the levels and record using something like Soundforge.
It's a shame a lot of old mixtapes were made before digital recording was the norm, otherwise we wouldn't be left with shitty sounding tapes. Ah well.
-
have been mostly been listening to MFDoom / Dangermouse stuff lately, quality. Oh, and the Prodigy Experience as well.
-
Never got to experience the magic of the Drome unfortunately, was well too young at the time. Heard a few tapes though and they were absolute quality.
I've been listening to quite a lot of MF Doom and Dangermouse as well recently. Downloaded The Mouse & The Mask, Operation Doomsday and Ghetto Pop Life recently and they are all quality.

(http://www.ilikemusic.com/images/article_images/full/lilyallen_f.jpg)
Been loving Lily Allen over the last few days.
It's sort of cheeky, rude pop music, but it's funny and interesting.
You can hear some tracks on her myspace page (http://www.myspace.com/lilymusic), including her single LDN, which is no doubt going to get a shit load of summer radio play.
been digging that too, got about 8 tracks, pretty variable but some of it is inspired.
Just found KT Tunstall's self released 2000 album called tracks in july. Its actually really good, nowhere near as poppy as eye to the telescope; quite folky and gentle and uninfluenced by record company men. Worth a listen.
and you can get it here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/vibhda
Nordic lounge is pretty fly n'all. word
-
For all you Hip Hop peeps out there, may I suggest you turn your ears to Lupe Fiasco, if you ain't already www.lupefiasco.com/ (http://www.lupefiasco.com/) a few mixtapes out at the mo, fahrenheit 1/15 probably being the best, album on the way.
Also Ghostface's new album Fishscale is also heat

cheers fiend i mite just have to purchase some of them
If you want some dirty tech funk, add this to your list:
http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/219516-01.htm
-
breaks co-op - the sound inside. zane lowe's band, pretty good. Not too sure where to categorise it. has electronica, funk, house, influences of a bit of death in vegas, bit of dj shadow, bit of zero 7 n a bit of shit thrown in... worth a listen though.
-
If anyone out there is not already familiar with him, I'd like to recommend Johannes Heil (the surname should give his country-of-origin away quite quickly). A techno artist that has always seen fit to move you with melody, strings, and sometimes quite beautiful and unsettling vocals - rather than this :wall: But he can turn on the diapham-wobbling sub-bass in quite a way.
This is his latest: http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/216115-01.htm
He's one of those people I've always kept up with, and for me, rarely disappoints. "The 1st", man, this brings a tear to my eye.
I also like the way that he has sampled Charles Manson, "Hell, I shoulda killed a hundrid people, and really offered society sumthin'".
:jaw:
And how could I forget: http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/206254-01.htm
I've been shaking my glut's to this fine mix CD from the talented Swede, Samuel. L. Sessions for a few weeks. Really puts a bounce in my step. The kind of CD that makes the old grumps in the street mutter under their breath as you groove while you wait for the bus. This dude is far from ungenerous wit da funk!
-
That's some good dirty dancefloor techno - I like it.
Just found a nice bittorrent site that has a pretty huge archive of dj mixes including all the essential mix / breezeblock and lots more. Am downloading some Derrick May mixes at the moment. Good shit.
http://themixingbowl.org
-
Woah Bubz!
What have you unleashed here?
See I'll be needing that external harddrive sooner rather than later.
I'm keeping it Kraut with the Tiefschwartz for the mo. Might need a whole day to scan this site!
And without further ado, let's continue our tour of World Techno, bringing-it back home with the awesome Englander, Dave Angel.
This is the first mix of his that I've bought and it's seeing some pretty heavy rotation here in the Technarium. Alas, not on Juno. Perhaps that's as it's pretty old - 2003. Yet all the tracks are fucking wicked, as I used to say when I was 15. His site daveangel.com is down, so there's no snippets to hear hare here, but I'm sure the commited will find a way. hell, buy it on my recommendation, you won't be let down. Techfunk at it's best.
includes trax by, ROKU (that's Londoners Bens Sims & Mark Broom); Frenchman, OXIA; Yanx, Smith and Selway; Swede's, Adam Beyer & Henrik B; Austrians, Felipe & Nicholas Bacher; and Mr. Angel himself.
Myself and the strife, went out randomly in Hamburg one night a couple of years back, and were stumbled upon a set from Angel. My kind of DJ: heads-up! And had this curious habit of going kinda slack-jawed and shacking his head at the crowd in encouragement, plus, never dropped a beat in 6 hours.
Anecdote: Dave used to be a car thief. he got banged-up. Where, he got hold of some pretty naff equipment and made a remix of "Sweet Dreams" which was put out on white label, which did very well. Dave wotshisname from the Eurythmics got wind of it, dragged Angel to his studio when he was released, and made him re-record it on decent kit. It went huge, and that's how Angel got his foot in the door.
EDIT - and yeah - you can find it in the "Trust The Dj" series: DA03. www.trustthedj.com (only a fiver!) Posting drunk....
-
Recently been sessioning Nathan Fake's album 'Drowning in a Sea of Love'. Great tune on it called Charlie's House. A bit Boards of Canadary, and very very good.
-
mentioned above by yours truly, but so fucking good that i salute you for reminding everyone.
i love it, i love it, i love it...
-
Funny that... I was just reading your original post.
I'm going to buy it on Monday. That's a lie, it's another bank holiday here in the Reich.
I'm going to buy it on Tuesday.
Nathan (I ain't no) Fake.
-
Just got the Nathan Fake - sounds good of a quick listen.
Now this is my sort of Techno - get this mix if you like Hawtin kinda funky tech.
Thomas Brinkman - Blue Room Mix.
I got it on Soulseek and might oink it if it passes the site requirements - good shit.
* ps may also be under "soul center" / "soul centre" instead of "thomas brinkman"
-
Thomas Brinkman, nice recommendation Bubba, will get on the case. Have been gagging for a fresh hit of techno of late, been a bit in the musical doldrums!
I think Jim mentioned it a little while ago, but if you havent heard Jackson and His Computer Band's 'Smash' album, it is well worth checking it out. Some of you may be in that familiar situation I always seem to get myself into by hearing a track and then never knowing who it is. I'm referring to the latest O2 ad campaign on TV. It has obvious influences of Autechre's Gantz Graf which shine through. The whole explosive-view synchronised pulsing vibe.
Saw Jackson at Liverpool's Chibuku Shake Shake with Jamie Lidell last year and it was an awesome night with the best atmosphere at an electronica gig in ages.
But yeah the track is called Utopia and it is by Jackson on Warp Records.
Anyone know much about Matthew Dear's work? Have his latest Audion offering but believe he might have done some other stuff that I'm having difficulty in tracking down.
-
Smash is awesome - have you got the Smash Megamix too?
-
yeah I got the smash megamix as i pre-ordered his album. Very very good. Do you have a copy Bubba or do you want one? Think they may have released a limited number of them??
-
It's ok, I got it from Soulseek...
-
Smash is awesome - have you got the Smash Megamix too?
(http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/guide/images/220/smashienicey_1.jpg)
Is it poptastic mate?
-
It most certainly is :)
btw, the Thomas Brinkman mix was actually done under pseudonym "Soul Center"
-
Anyone who likes folk music of the Nick Drake, Sandy Denny school needs to get themselves Let No Man Steal Your Thyme - Shelagh McDonald. All known recordings by a late 60s early 70s english folk singer. Very good voice, like a cross between Sandy Denny and Joni Mitchell, also very accomplished on piano and guitar. Best songs for me would be Stargazer and Dowie Dens of Yarrow.
As seems de rigeur for folk singers of this period she had a short career ending strangley and tragically. She basically produced two great albums then disappeared without a trace for 35 years after suffering a REALLY bad acid trip which weirdly ruined her angelic voice. She did eventually show up again in 2005 after having read an article about herself in a Scottish newspaper, she'd been hiding somewhere in the western isles of Scotland.
-
Back to drum'n'bass:
Various / DJ ELement & MC Manic - Soundtrax For Life (Soundtrax)
The label that Big Bud is on and so you get some proper smooth rolling and seriously bassy DNB - perfect for the summer vibes - this is a fucking hot CD just get it k.
-
P.S. Bubba, think I've been seeing posters for Lily Allen playing here soon??
-
Good knowledge Bonjoy, I'll have to check that out.
Lately I've been listening to the following, all of which I would wholeheartedly recommend:
Drive by Truckers - The Dirty South (as the name suggests: classic southern Americana)
Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins - Rabbit Fur Coat (exquisite vocal delivery and a rack of excellent songs)
Roddy Frame - Surf (one of the most eloquent songwriters of this or any generation - just amazing)
Loose Fur - Born again in the USA (one for the Wilco fans - an effortlessly brilliant side project with Jeff Tweedy and Jim O'Rourke)
Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros - Streetcore (poignant and emotional stuff from the late lead singer of the Clash. Pretty rockin too. Webbo should get this, if he hasn't already.)
-
I'll second the Joe Strummer and the mescaleros, though the other half always tells me to turn it off.
Anyone mentioned Hot Chip yet? Got the album off Cowboyhat last week after hearing one track on a compilation. Oddly enough, found it barely listenable at first but after five or so plays (experience has taught me you have to persevere with the really good stuff) I'm a total convert.
Enjoying geeting more into new music again recently. Finally folk seem to be realising that the further dance and rock are separated, the more boring they become.
-
Bonjoy - Not heard of her but she sounds good.
Fiend - That sounds decent... I'll check it out.
>Finally folk seem to be realising that the further dance and rock are separated, the more boring they become.
Careful now JB.. remember Jesus Jones!!
-
Loose Fur - Born again in the USA (one for the Wilco fans - an effortlessly brilliant side project with Jeff Tweedy and Jim O'Rourke)
You might like (if you don't own it already) Bad Timing by Jim O'Rourke. Came out about a decade ago, but has been recently re-released. Lots of slow slightly off-the-wall fingerpicking. For fans of Americana...
Anyone else heard Barra Head? A small-fry Danish band.
http://www.playrec.dk/barrahead/ The LP's Songs & Departures & We Are Your Numbers are blindingly good. This band is one well kept secret...
-
ok, the best tunes that i've purchased recently:
bold to sacrifice - cristian padararu (brilliantly mellow breaks)
probably - flex and nilsson (cool techy house)
ride - 2 paht cunts (more cool breaks stuff) (that should obviously read 2 phat cunts)
right before my eyes - southside hustlers
50k - def inc
i predict that they'll be all over the compilations in 6 months time.
and the gu10 set is alright too. the first disc wasn't that special, but disc 2 is stuck in my car stereo...
-
lots of music so much music all music.
i've been listening to crosby, stills, nash and young recently. regardez moi.
-
listening to the headcase ladz whilst dropping down onto the A55 from Wirral-way is pretty ace. Miles better than Goldie Lookin Chain and way cooler!
-

I quite like Hot Chip - "boy from school" is a sweet track and the others are all really good fun, though pretty fucking bizzare. Both albums worth a listen fo sho.
-
Those that like Queens of the Stone Age/Kyuss should check out:
The Eagles of Death Metal - 'Death by Sexy'
It's Josh Hommes other outfit and some of the stuff is ace (and sounds nothing like the band name suggests)- Dirty rock you can (ahem) dance to.
Also good but not particularly new, is The Shins 'Oh inverted world'. Good mellow stuff, particularly 'New Slang' which I always seem to find myself humming.
-
Miles better than Goldie Lookin Chain and way cooler!
Don't go dissing the Chain dude. :o

Didn't realise Josh Homme was in EODM - you learn something new every day eh? THey're first, self titled album is awesome too, like you say, proper dirty rock.

Yup - Oddly enough, he plays the drums under the name of Carlos Von Sexron iirc.
-
Yeah, I really like "One Thing"
Here's a very interesting video about the origin and use of the Amen Break:
http://nkhstudio.com/pages/amen_mp4.html
If you have any early Hip-Hop / Hardcore / Jungle then you will have heard this a million times and it's interesting to see where it came from and how it was used. Also explores wider issues of sampling and copyright.
Appropriately, the whole soundtrack to the video is played from a dubplate.
Ok, I posted the above a while ago - the guy has done another one, this time on the TB 303.
http://nkhstudio.com/pages/bassline_mp4.html
Very interesting if you're a fan of electronica.
-
Grime / dubstep / garage anyone?
Am after a bit of a taster of the bassier, instrumental side. Not interested in vocal grime as it sounds like the biggest bunch of cock ever to me. But...
http://www.juno.co.uk/products/198328-01.htm
...someone recommended that a while ago and I missed out on getting it, God knows why but I quite like that sound of that. Sort of tending to the breaks side almost. So, anyone got any recommendations? :-\

this is worth checking out;
http://www.mountainrescueradio.com/ (http://www.mountainrescueradio.com/)
it's done by a friend of mine, but I'm not promoting him just on that alone. It is actually good. Nice mixes, introducing you to something old, something new, something unfamiliar, something sweet. Check it out. (right click and save as to get the mixes)
-
(http://www.7digital.com/shops/assets/sleeveart/%5C5060100740799_350.JPEG)
Nouvelle Vague (http://www.nouvellesvagues.com/) - "Bande A Part" (Peacefrog)
2nd album from the bizarre but lovely Nouvelle Vague.
French lounge act cover Brit 80's New Wave, Punk and pop.
Last album was great Ibiza poolside music last summer and this one promises more of the same. Great stuff.
-
i concur...
i am currently sitting in my garden enjoying the fiendish tones of damian lazarus - rebelfuturism vol2
edit - actually, scrub that. now we've got george michael on.
-
Bubba, I like that Roots Manuva mix, nice. The misses is like, who are the Sugarhill Gang. Bless her.
Currently listening to Veneer by Jose Gonzalez as well. I downloaded the album after searching for who did the song from that Sony Advert and the rip off one from Swansea with all the fruit. The rest of the album is quite good too, especially 'closer'. Doesn't last long enough though in my opinion.
Those mountain rescue mixes are good too. Quite quircky.

Today I've been listening to this Canadian rock band:

I haven't been listening to this, but want to, the grafitti is most of the funny.

Mechanical but effective music. Great wordsmiths too.

That Wrong album is astonishingly good. It was a soundtrack for my life at the time of its release.
I've also been revisiting the same late 80s/early 90s period with the equally astounding Repeater by Fugazi. Both bands were phenomenal live acts too.

I'm really new to Wrong. The only other LP I had was Sex Mad which I liked but knew thay could've/had done better - annoyingly this would have been around the release of Wrong. Wrong is fast. I think I like Nomeansno so much more when they are rolling along slowly before belting-off on one. I've an MP3 called Sex is Philosophy which I think is the best track from NMN that I've heard:
Sex is philosophy - philosphy is sex - pr0no video X X X
Here are the words in full to a great song (http://www.stlyrics.com/songs/n/nomeansno2864/sexisphilosophy135289.html)
Fugazi's best LP came after Repeater and is Steady Diet of Nothing.
Fugazis' weakest link musically are the drums. Brendan Canty is not an awesome drummer, I think he's got worse with age. Presumably this is why Fugazi have been using a second drummer when playing live for a while now.
Check this band out. It took me a decade to find a CD, made up I was! Third World War. Should appeal to fans of rock, blues, UK ur-punk/pub rock, and communists. A great band. I only have Third World War 2, but it is excellent. Lyrically brilliant. Here (http://www.alexgitlin.com/npp/third.htm)
-
Funny graffiti - I went to see Nomeansno in Manchester around the time that Wrong came out. To this day it's one of the best live performances I ever seen and I've seen some good bands.. brilliant.

Sounds good, although I only know 7 of the acts! Wonder what Iggy will be like these days!? Probably just as wild.
-
Iggy rules. Went to see him as part of the line up on the Sex Pistols - Filthy Lucre tour way back in '94. He blew The Pistols off the stage IMO. Probably still a stick thin, wirey and wired bundle of frenetic energy now.
-
If you have not heard of the German electronic ensemble Rechenzentrum, then you do now. I love this trio of knob-twiddlers. I'd file it under electronia, yet some tracks are closer to ambient or even minimal techno. They blow my mind with their sensitivity.
If you've the dough, the CD below is the one to have:
(http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e67/houdini2/rechenzentrum.jpg)
This CD also has some extremely interesting visuals included on the CD for you to pop in your computer and go cool! The track IBM is particularly interesting to fans of 2001 Space Odyssey.
You can hear samples here (http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/80901-02.htm&highlight=rechenzentrum)
Rechenzentrum translates as Computer centre.
More can be discovered of this unusual trio of weirdy-beardies here (http://www.rechenzentrum.org)

FD has been listening to too much hillbilly music recently and dipped his toes back into the murky waters of electronic bangs, bleeps and other noises.
Boxcutter - Oneiric: Dub Step meets Autechre... I wasn't quite sure at first but playing at full volume in the wife's open top sports car avec Bose sound system and sub woofer certainly did the trick. This is pretty damn good IMHO even if the old duffers in the layby at Topley Pike didn't appreciate the selections.
Kode 9 presents Dub Step All Stars Vol 3: This is a bit mad really.... not _quite_ sure whether it'll stand up to repeated plays.. seven samurai samples, aggressive london girl grime artists, sub sub basslines and hoovers
The Nova Dream Sequence: Interpretations: Now this is quality, King Britt aka Sylk 130, Scuba and other random pseudonyms puts out a carl craig style full length mixed house/techno/tech album... some real standout tracks and overall the whole CD warrants a listen from start to finish. There's probably an unmixed vinyl version available somewhere...
On a completely separate note:
Pissed Jeans: Don't Need Smoke To Make Myself Disappear - 7" on Sub-Pop - Locust Abortion era Buttholes and Flipper/Fear/Drunks with Guns/Lazy Cowgilrs clash on this one.. it was almost 1987 again for a moment.
Edited for bad spelling

Iggy's still got it. He headlined the Big Day Out here in January and was fantastic, going off like a loon. :thumbsup:
-
I once saw Iggy Pop receive a blow-job from a fully-looped junkie-chick on the edge of a pool table. Surprisingly, it has not affected my opinion of this artist. Steve Albini
-
Good to see some support being waged for Fugazi. Have to admit though, I'm a big fan of Canty's drumming.
Check out Wirral's own : The Laze. I'd be glad to hear what peoples thoughts are.
http://www.thelaze.com

Check out the Bad Ghost Demo on the myspace page, recently uploaded by the band. Very much worthwhile seeing live.
-
Okay. I need some trance or trancey techno CD recommendations, and I need them quick! Preferably something that can be found on Juno, and ideally by the end of tomorrow as I want some for a trip away.
The older stuff I like is stuff like Reactivate compilations, LSG, Lab4 - something vaguely similar or trending towards the technoey side would be cool.
Cheers!

Johannes Heil vs Felipe Double Mix CD. Here (http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/145511-01.htm&highlight=Felipe)
Can't say if it fills your needs, but I like it a lot. Especially the Heil disc.
Plus OXIA's Vital Session Mix CD of 2003 is cool in a slightly funky retro way. Again, not sure if this is what your after, but it's good. It's not on juno though, maybe Amazon.

I saw a band called Battles last night. They were phenomenal.
(http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e67/houdini2/battles-live1-0705.jpg)
Check there summer live dates on the warp site here (http://www.warprecords.com/)
Other shizz (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battles_%28band%29)
They play in Dublin tonite. Mindblowing drumming that puts a machine to shame and Proper Bo sounds all round. Go and see them.
Here (http://www.myspace.com/battlestheband) is Battles' myspace page with a representative track for you to nod your head to.
-
Good call Houdini, I liked that a lot.
Is it all instrumental? Just thought it would be great with a Dagnasty style vocal over the top:
More specifically something from Can I Say, like Never go Back:
http://www.myspace.com/dagnasty
-
Only know Can I Say. Great record. Still sounds good.
Battles do use vocals but these are fucked up and fully knob twiddled away from being called sung. Mostly instrumental sounding. Some of the guys drumming last night was ridiculous, the myspace track is pretty mild. They played this track around the fastest pure drum & bass beat I've ever seen a man make, really kicking bass and fast snare work, totally wicked, Fiend would love that track.
Americana Corner:
Do you know Nina Nastasia (http://www.southern.net/southern/band/NASTA/sounds/TG241_05_superstar.mp3)?
-
Anyone got the new Gomez album yet? Duma?
-
Indeed, and I am somewhat dissapointed. Not bad, but nothing to get worked up over - certainly a step down from Split the Difference in my opinion. Still really looking forward to seeing them at beautiful days this year though. :bounce:
-

If you liked that, one of the guys was in a band called Don Cabellaro who were pretty good.
http://www.southern.net/southern/band/DONCA/
Dag Nasty are class. Any of you guys got the Dischord 20 year anniversary box set? Very much recommended for fans of the label.
I saw Ian Mackaye's new band The Evens play in Brudenell Social Club in Leeds last year and they were great. They did a video which explained the Vowel system to kids, a pretty long way from Minor Threat but cool!
-
Excluding Fugazi/Threat two bands stand out on Dischord: Beefeater and Rites of Spring. Two awesome slices of Reaganite America.
I like Don Cab. Mostly for Damon Che's drumming. He is also in Bellini (http://www.epitonic.com/index.jsp?refer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.epitonic.com%2Fartists%2Fbellini.html) who are relatives of Uzeda (http://www.tgrec.com/bands/band.php?id=84): Best Italian rock band of last 10/15 years.
-

-
Anybody heard the new Guillemots album? Looks interesting!
-
Battles are ace - I'd love to see them live.. also thanks for the links to Don Caballero and those Italian bands... I've not heard of them before.
There's a couple of good gigs in Sheffield this weekend Isis and Thrones are on at the Corporation and Steffen Basho Junghans (another fingerstyle steel guitar wizard a la Jack Rose) is on somewhere on Saturday night.
-
Anybody heard the new Guillemots album? Looks interesting!
Yep, one my albums of the year so far. Its on oink to download.
-
If you are serious about Don Caballero, these are the recordings to find, on vinyl naturally as the gatefold artwork is marvellous. Buy in this order:
1 - For Respect
(http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e67/houdini2/forrespect.jpg)
2 - Don Caballero 2
(http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e67/houdini2/19143L.jpg)
3 - What Burns Never Returns
(http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e67/houdini2/19185L.jpg)
And don't expect vocals. Ever. This band mined new territory in Rock. However 'American Don' their last LP did not hit the spot as well as the previous 3 did. Too clean and jazzy.
Definitely go and see Battles. You will not be disappointed. They are in Manc' soon. Do it.
Quote of the night of the Battles gig from my GF, in reference to John Stainer the drummer, "My god! His head is going to explode!"
-
Maybe way back in 1993 "For Respect" was groundbreaking or innovative... but now, to me, it doesn't sound particularly good. I'm not a massive fan of this genre, I would suggest something more like Galaxie 500 from that era. I just thought I'd write something that wasn't praise, so even things out.
As for other recent reccomendations, may I humbly suggest;
Kitsune Maison Compilation - from the french label. If you like mellow electronica type stuff. I think it's nice. Not groundbreaking however...
-
I like Galaxie 500 too - but they are closer to My Bloody Valentine, Kitchens of Distinction (!) or even Ride than to Don Caballero. For me, Don Caballero 2 is the definitive release. Erm... Not that you compared them to G500...
Do excuse me, I must bring forth the Vom - I willingly wrote Ride, twice! Fuck!
Unc' needs a dose of Bellini. Or, THE rock record of the early 90's 'At Action Park' by Shellac
-
Cheers for the gatefold recommendations Houdini. I'm a big fan of quality vinyl artwork. Incidentally, on the theme of quality gatefolds, do any of you have any Frank Zappa originals? I think one of my only prized possessions is an immaculate original copy of Weasels Ripped My Flesh which seems to be quite hard to get hold of in any condition now. The cover which depicts a cartoon man trying to shave with a weasel as a razor has to be the image of the 60s.
-
Thanks for the recomendations (I'm downloading The Evens from eMusic at the moment). Funnily enough I was listening to Galaxie 500's This is our Music in the car this morning - perfect dreamy summer sounds.
-
more electro summer pop love type stuff;
Cansei De Ser Sexy - Cansei De Ser Sexy although if you're going to do a search for this try the abbreviation CSS. A band from brazil making nice electro-pop music. Try to get the original brazilian version of their album, not the newly recorded/released american version.
-
just checking out www.last.fm (http://www.last.fm)
first impressions good...
-
all rather mainstream and dated, but of late, my commute has been eased by...
The Bees - One Glass of Water. The Beach Boys - Good Vibrations (I'm sure one of them harmonises about his ovulations though :-\). SFA - Mountain People (Hand-me-down culture/Waiting for the vultures brilliant.) The Coral - Pass It On.
But most of all, The Go Team - Thunder, Lightning, Strike. This is definitely my favourite summer music of the last couple of years.
-
Sometimes, the sound of sequencers makes me puke. At times like these I find solace in modern classical music, in particular music from bands like Rachels (Quarterstick records, via Southern distribution).
They've been around for 11 years or so, and contain members of the amazing rock band Rodan who made but one LP called Rusty.
They have made five LP's, the prime movers are Handwriting (they're 1st), The Sea & Bells (2nd). Everyone should own these records, or rather anyone with soul should own these records; they are so beautiful they would bring tears to your eyes should you listen to them when feeling emotionally weak. In general, they could be compared to Godspeed, You Black Emperor. Or even Phillip Glass.
Download a track called Last Things Last (http://www.tonspion.de/downloadframe.php?id=2498&shop=0&act=Rachel%60s&album=Systems%2F+Layers&TS=e30d878eaa3a5b8806da6a545f0435a7) (from their 5th LP Systems/Layers) I defy you not to be moved by this song.
-
Downloaded Tower of Love by Jim Noir last week after a recommendation from Monolith. He's the bloke that did the song ‘Eaney Meany' that was on the Adidas advert and had the lyrics “If you don't give my football back I'm gonna get my dad on you, I only kicked it over the fence and broke a silly gnome or two.†He also did a song called ‘My Patch' which has been played on Radio 1 a bit I think. He's got an interesting hippy kitsch pop sort of style with a definite summery vibe to it. Definitely one of my favourite recent acquisitions.
Also recently got The Audience's Listening by Cut Chemist and Magnificent City by RJD2 and was a bit disappointed by them both.
-

What? Disappointed by both Cut Chemist and RJD2? Surely not... maybe you got the discs mixed up?
-
No disc mix up unfortunately Ben. I loved Dead Ringer and Since We Last Spoke but thought that Magnificent City was a bit disappointing in comparison. The beats were ok but I found Aceyalone's rhymes to be very poor and lacking an edge. May try and get my hands on the instrumental version, which could be better. May have been a bit quick to diss Cut Chemist though. Giving it another listen now and starting to quite like it especially the song ‘Garden' which is class.

Shame about the RJD2, usually a cut above other hiphop. Glad the Cut Chemist has been revived in your view. I've got "Garden" too and think it's okay but a little downtempo for my liking, although obviously such music has its time and place. Like a very late night time and place.

Been a little while since I've flown the DnB flag but here's two slices of hard-hitting rollage you need in your collection:
Ohm Resistance - Forwards in Backwards Time (OHM)
American artist/label double CD compilation specialising in consistently good old-skool industrial gnarlstep. If you like your beats hard and your sounds techy this is well recommended, it has some of that raw late 90's feel that the likes of Panacea captured. First track on the second CD sums up hard dnb IMO.
N.Phect & Dizplay - Beautiful Bytes (Basswerk)
German artists with another consistently good CD, this time of nu-skool rolling techstep. Refined and accessible techy sounds with good basslines and neat atmospherics. Pretty much a mixture of, say, Teebee and Noisia, which should be recommendation enough.
-
First off, thanks to Fiend for the nouveau DnB recommends. I like the sound of the N.Phect & Dizplay and will have a look round for that as most of your previous DnB recommendations have proven to be worth seeking out. Thanks dude. :thumbsup:
Secondly, got the eagerly awaited (well, by me anyway) new Jurassic5 album (entitled "Feedback") this week. Worth checking out if you like their stuff as it maintains the very high standard set by their previous long players. Starts off pretty laid back but moves up a gear after a few tracks. There is a rather strange track that is basically a cover of Boney M's Brown Girl in the Ring. Weird but good.
The final track is a live recording of Day at the Races with some simply outstanding vocal gymnastics, not untypical of J5. I've not been disappointed so far although admittedly I haven't had time to play it through more than a few times.
-
http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/221314-01.htm
There ya go Ben.
New J5 eh, might have to check that out...
-
Hmmmmm.... The old bint upstairs is really loving this link, Fiend. Must be the sub-bass hitting her ancient G-spot where it hurts...
-
http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/221314-01.htm
There ya go Ben.
New J5 eh, might have to check that out...
Thank you senor Fiend, much obliged as ever. Haven't checked it (my school internet connection won't let me go near anything even remotely entertainment themed) but will do later.
Do check the J5 too, it's good lyrical fun as usual. I presume you dig their previous stuff? You seem to have taste....
On the hiphop theme, has anyone else got the Sway album This is my demo? I bought it the other day and have been pretty underwhelmed by it although to be honest the J5 album has taken precedence in my listening this week so I shall give Sway some time over the weekend. Certainly not the best UK hiphop around which is a shame 'cos I've got some other stuff from him and it's mostly pretty fine. Anyway, am I just not into it yet because I ain't given it time, or is it just a bit shite?
-
I've been listening to too much old timey music and country stuff of late so decided to dip my toes into some new(ish) electronica, house and beats.
The Beauty Room: The Beauty Room: Kirk Degiorgio (Brit techno producer also known as As One) turns in something completely different on Peacefrog records - a live band with an unknown (to me anyway) vocalist, soaring harmonies, guitars, lush electric piano and drums. Don't go anywhere near this unless you like Crosby Stills and Nash and neo-soul stuff like Dwele and/or Robert Owens vocal house stuff with Mr Fingers. This really surprised me and it does actually sound like 'CSN' era Crosby Stills and Nash with Chick Corea on keys remixed by 4Hero with a few bleeps chucked in. Trust me it works but don't blame me if you hate it :-\
Francios K - Frequencies: A kevorkian mix 2xCD of some recent house/tech/electro tunes that he's been playing at various spots around the globe. I've only had it on in the car but it's pretty good as mixes go.. particularly the first CD which is real slow builder.
Gilles Peterson: Back in Brazil: Nice collection of old (CD1) and contemporary (CD2) Brazilian tunage - I'm not sure how good it'll sound driving through the drizzle over the Snake in Winter but it does the trick when I've nicked my wifes car and got the roof down bombing down the A6 in the sunshine with a stick clip sticking out the back and a rucksack of quickdraws, water and powerbars.
Rekid: Made in Menorca: Contemporary downbeat house music (sounds like a more electronic Theo Parrish) with a hint of dub. Slow 'n moody... stoner house music for wearing sunglasses and lying down.
Nathan Fake: Drowning in a Sea of Love - Bought on the strength of the recommendations on here - I've only had it on the once so can't pass judgment but it sounded good to me.
I also downloaded The Evens album from eMusic (nice one Monolith) and at the moment am listening to King by Belly (Tanya Donnelly's band post Throwing Muses) which is one of my favourite albums from t'early nineties...
-

This is very good - Detroity feel to much of it, and as FD says, excellent horizontal listening.
-
I used to be really into the Jade Tree record label, and they had a band called Jets to Brazil on who have some great songs. Very much worth checking out.
Just to go back to the Dischord chat, not sure if any of you Fugazi fans have seen their Instrument DVD? Well that was produced by a guy called Jem Cohen. If you liked Instrument, it might well be worth watching another of his films I have recently discovered:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0233315/
I haven't yet seen it, but I'm sure it should be worthy of a chance purchase.
-
I've got a couple of Jets to Brazil albums. I really rated Orange Rhyming Dictionary.
I haven't seen the Fugazi dvd you mention, but I'll seek it out. I used to be really up on that whole scene, but have drifted off into other types of music of late.
On a different note, I read all these recs for dance/electronica on here, but I seem to have a mental block about this stuff these days (maybe because I don't go clubbing anymore). The nearest I've come to it in recent times is Vulnerabilia by a brilliant Manchester band called My Computer. If you liked Dubnobasswithmyheadman you'll love this.

Instrument is a fantastic documentation of a band. My biggest regret was turning down a ticket to see them in my second year at uni as I had to go to a good friend's birthday event. Looks like I've missed the boat, or have I??
-
BUMP
I would like to urge you all to seek out a version of Snoop's seminal "Gin 'n Juice" by a band called The Gourds. Had this played to me over the weekend and haven't stopped listening to it since...Country n Western Gangsta y'all!
-
Possibly the best cover of all time, IMHO of course, is The Gourds' cover of Gin 'n Juice. Saltbeef knows what I'm talking about..
Do you mean THIS?? (http://www.ezarchive.com/wwjblog/AlbumSpace/3SAQ9JVUT2/07+The+Gourds+-+Gin+And+Juice.mp3)
S'ok I suppose, but I don't really get it.
There's an impressive collection of covers over at http://www.prankster.it/ (http://www.prankster.it/) (click on "COVER MANIA")
Some of my favourites include
Mojo Nixon doing "Girlfriend in a coma"
New Model Army doing "New England"
Nick Cave doing "Disco 2000" (strangely tear-jerking)
Untergangskommando doing "Girls just wanna have fun"
Johnny Cash doing "Personal Jesus"
and
Rolf Harris doing "I touch myself" - disturbing ooh-ahh wobbleboard version. With screaming.

One for Fiend and some of the other D&B fans, particularly of the old skool variety...(following on from my posting on the Game for a Laugh thread)
I have a mix tape from Jungle Quake '94 feat. Roni Size and Mickey Finn.. one of the tracks is a very minimalist tune that sounds just like a Ray Keith/Terrorist effort that (unlikely as it sounds..) samples the lines '.... and I will always love you.. ' from Whitney's hit at the time and obviously never made it to a commercial release, yet it's set against a minor key and a really hollow bassline which completely flips the intent and feel of the vocal line... very good indeed.
Anyone (Fiend ?) got any clues as to the artist and where I might secure an MP3 or indeed a physical copy in vinyl or CD... Google turns up nothing of any note... and I guess we are going back a bit here....
-
Probably best asking on one of the old skool forums - somebody will know unless it was something uber-rare.

I have a funny feeling in my stomach that that very same Jungle Quake 94 mixtape was owned by one of my best friends at school John Horgan who introuced me to that very mix at the time.
The tune you are referring to might well be by Stevie Hyper D. I'm fairly confident he featured on the mixtape and didn't have quite as prominent a position in the Jungle limelight as Size and Finn. I'll ask him when I can via email, as I know he's somewhere in Malay at the moment, but is ideally poised to give you any old school Jungle info you might like.
You've probably heard of the shop and mail order company Dance Music Finder, but just in case you haven't, they're worth getting in touch with if you're on the hunt for any old school Jungle mixes. If they can't, they should at very least be able to put you in touch with someone who can help find what you're looking for.
http://www.dancevinylfinder.co.uk/
Best of luck with your hunt, I know how agonising it can be trying to find a tune with only the vaguest of bass lines in your head!

Late in t'thread, but plenty of good mixes at http://www.themixingbowl.org/ (http://www.themixingbowl.org/) its a torrent site, so you'll need the appropriate software.

It's available on the United Colours of Drum & Bass compilation (Formation Records), and probably readily available on MP3 given it's age, but I don't know where.
Edit: And yes, a bloody good track ;)

:great: Nice one fellas - have some waddage. UKB knowledge strikes again!
-
you see, this is why i like UKB......
people voicing what there listening to and enjoying, from uber trainspotting to basic pop...and no one being a twat about it-i think you know what Im saying

k.e.w.l.
currently murdering the shackleton ep - blood on my hands - SKULL003
here's a track from it: http://www.wordthecat.com/images/shackleton-naked.mp3
-
this may appeal to those with industrial tastes:
surgeon's set at glade festy (100mb zip file) (http://www.dj-surgeon.com/download/Surgeon_14_7_06_Glade_V2.zip)
surgeon's also appearing here (http://www.capsule.org.uk/Coming_Up/150.aspx) for a night of heavy industry on 1st sept in birmingham, if anyone's up for it
-
It's a good set from the man himself; there is no-one making music like him in the UK, or anyone that will slam his mixes with Whitehouse and other ugly gems. (Except Regis). Good to see him getting back to grind. You like British Murder Boys? Tres bon.
-
Currently enjoying the new Twilight Singers album "Powder Burns" - it's Greg Dulli's (ex-Afghan Whigs) new band. I'm pretty biased though, as I've been a massive fan since the seminal Afghan Whigs' "Gentlemen".
If you like you rock dark, soul-tinged and a bit E-Street Band-ish in places, this is for you.
For those interested, they're playing the Sheffield Boardwalk tonight I think - I saw them at the Scala down here on Tuesday and I'd highly recommend going along...
-
Greg Dulli hey? I've always meant to listen to the Afghan Wigs but never have for some idiotic reason. I'll get onto it. Greg Dulli played guitar on a track off the very first Foo Fighters album did he not? Man I adore that CD.
-
ohh, that's good knowledge - will have to have a look when I get home.
The man Dulli was also the voice of the Beatles on the "Backbeat" soundtrack as well.
If you've never heard any of their stuff before, I'd recommend starting with "Black Love", then work your way through "1965" and "Gentlemen"...you're in for a treat!
-
thx tommy, will have a scoot around hype

canvey island badboy lee brilleaux on gritty vocals and mouth-harp, pudding-basin'd wilko on wide-eye amphetimine guitar backed by a lean, mean r'n'b rhythm machine, the feelgoods fucking rocked
-
I like feelgood especially Down by the Jetty era Feelgood. Great guitar.
Just found the Locked Records site. Anyone been here? (http://www.lockedrecords.co.uk/) I'd expect by the past fliers it must be an ace night. They've some respectable mixes to download too. Underground Techno.
-
Finding the Sam Horam mix in the box above pretty satisfying, builds up with quality tracks all quite nicely. A dryish sound, 3 DX.
-
Another one for techno fans: Takaaki Itoh (http://www.takaakiitoh.com/web/audio.htm).
It's a minimal site but the download section is quite healthy ranging from minimal house thru to techno mixes and live performances. Millsian.
-
looks interesting. Infact, anything japanese is usually quite interesting. However, all the sets are 128kbps. Why do people still use 128kbps mp3's? It really is crap sounding. In the day of dial up I could understand but now that everyone has 8mb broadband we should all really be using flac. ok, rant over. Thanks for the links though!
-
On the subject of minimal house..
Scion are well worth checking out. They're on the Tresor record label in Berlin (Houdini may well fill you in on the Berlin Techno scene).
As a chance purchase a while back, it yielded some incredible sounds. My Tresor knowledge isn't great, but I understand the album is a remix of various other techno stuff with a glitchy dub sound layered over the top.
A link here, to the romantically named Arrange and Process Basic Channel Tracks
(Who said German efficiency was dead!?)
http://www.boomkat.com/item.cfm?id=8092

Tresor is dead. Long live Tresor.
(Tresor = vault or strongroom.)
The club goes back about 15 years, and has sadly not long closed - the land it sat on was worth fuck all when it started, now it's prime turf. The club was great: A good sized outdoor bit for when it got too much inside. The top half of the premises opened up as Globus to cater for the lighter side (haus and tech-haus) while downstairs was the infamous low ceiling vault rooms complete with bars n' shit, and no air. Fucking spooky it was, when it was rammed the water would condense on the ceiling and if you were 3 sheets/a whole haberdashery shop to the wind these would turn into pulsating silver egg cases waiting to rupture Alien-style and properly freak you out with the grime. The dj booth was behind bars so it was a hugely characterful place. Great label roster including, Ben Sims, Blake Baxter, James Ruskin, Regis, Surgeon, Jeff Mills, The Advent and plenty of other local talent, like Pacou and Sender Berlin. I'll really miss that funky shithole.
-
Right then technical dudes.
I have a really good house CD mixed by a mate of mine. How would one go about getting it loaded onto the internet so you folks could hear it :-\
-
Rip it using EAC (http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/) and encode it to a high-bitrate mp3 using LAME (http://rarewares.org/)
Have a look at this guide: http://www.neoseeker.com/Hardware/faqs/kb/9,52.html for an idea of what you have to do.
Once you've got yer .mp3 then you've got to host it somewhere - try rapidshare (http://rapidshare.de/) or somewhere.
-
This is a good guide to Lame and EAC - http://jiggafellz.isa-geek.net/eac/
-
COR BLIMEY GUVNA!!!!
Just had aquick flick through the process and got lost rather easily. I'll have a proper look at it when I have removed my head from my butt after THE most wank day in the shop ever. I hate bank holidays.
Cheers for the tips though dudes.

http://hekate.co.uk/
i can't even think of any comments, my brain is dead today, suffice to say i like some of the hekate output
-
If you like eep opp, you really ought to know of the Molemen collaborative outfit (with self-titled label). Those who know Vakill will already be familiar I'm sure. But if you don't go on, check them out!
On a totally unrelated genre change. A merry band of local fools are in a group called Arthur Shelton Jones and Friends. Pretty unique for their age range, they make any night into a Bourbon-toting feel good festival.
Greet them at:
http://www.myspace.com/arthursheltonjones
They'd be happy to have you come stay.
-
If you only have time to listen one Arthur Shelton Jones and Friends song check out New Mexico as it's class and I think the others are demos.
-
Soapy, I would have loved to have seen Dr Feelgood back in the 70s, they sounded awesome. When I was 11 years old I used to run a dinner time disco at school with a mate; Milk and Alcohol was a real floor filler, got the place rocking every time.
-
Currently continuing my Scandinavian fetish with the swedish band Logh.
The missus discovered them. They have a website (http://logh.se/media.asp) with some freebies for download.
Indie rock I guess. The current stuff is darker/dissonant, which I like. The earlier somewhat more melodic. Looksee.
-
schveeden eh,
i take it you're well versed with the works of dungen (http://www.dungen-music.com/)?
particularly liked the 2004 lp - ta det lungt
and had the pleasure of seeing them in support on the dfa tour
they erm, 'rawk'
:thumbsup:
-
not sure if this had already been posted but I heard this chap on radio 2 the other night. Aqcuired the album and it's very good;
Liam Frost - Show me how the Spectres Dance It's folk/indie stuff I guess but it sounds nice so it's worth getting. He's from manchester and has a myspace account for those who like that shit. Available from the pink palace for those who can and do...
-
Sorry Soaps - never heard of them - until now! Cool. I'll see if there's some free shit to blag on t'net. Thanks mate.
This is for anyone fascinated by our bizarre, short, revoltingly-dieted Japanese cousins.
I give you Zeni Geva.
(http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e67/houdini2/zenigeva02.jpg)
Psychedelic minimalist/maximalist rock. And IMO - peerless (closest peer: Shellac.) Around for 2 decades plus, they don't release much but when they do it knocks your head off. 2 guitars/drums (no bass, but curiously have a massive bottom-end.)
Find these LP/CD's:
Most recent: 10,000 Light Years. (On Neurot records.)
(http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e67/houdini2/zenigeva.gif)
Previous to that: Freedom Bondage. (Alternative Tentacles.) This is such a good LP I'm speechless: after 20 years it finally comes together. Ugly, yet occasionally extremely tender. They never ever sound anything less than Japanese, and are far from derivative.
(http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e67/houdini2/freedom-bondage.jpg)
Previous to that: Desire For Agony. (Also Alternative Tentacles.) A great LP.
(http://rateyourmusic.com/album_images/s51308.jpg) (http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/zeni_geva/desire_for_agony/)
Here (http://www.alternativetentacles.com/bandinfo.php?band=zenigeva) is their site on Alternative Tentacles. Free MP3s. They are easily my favourite rock band. Even better than The Jesus Lizard. I've been trying to catch them live for 13 years or something. Still no joy.
An ancient single called When I was on Horseback Included here for the mad artwork by skingraft Records honcho Mark Fischer. Good luck if you can find it.
(http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e67/houdini2/GR09big.jpg)
There are others out there for a curious mind to discover, but these are the best. 1 choice? Freedom Bondage.
Nerds may wish to explore www.kknull.com This is the site of the voice/low guitar of Zeni Geva. He's done so much I can't list it here. Merzbow-ish when solo.
Double-nerds/tasteful types may wish to find Brainsville by Mitsuru Tabata (high end geetar of Zeni Geva)
(http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e67/houdini2/D97608KJ99I.jpg) Find more about Tabata here (http://www.elsieandjack.com/mp3s.html#) inc. MP3's. Spooky stuff.

Fuckin' love that track. Beautiful feel to it. Thanks for reminding me of it, have some waddage.
The Tayo track is lovely too, can't remember where I have got it, but I'm sure I have it on a Tayo mix somewhere. Will go search right now.
My personal recommendations at the moment are generally dancehall retro stuff. All hail King Jammy! :bow:
I've also been listening to lots of breaks tracks off the Marine Parade label thanks to some retrospective mix I picked up just before heading to France for a month. All hail Adam Freeland, Bassbin Twins, Forme, Evil Nine et al :bow:

If anyone likes odd but brilliant UK punk then check out the fascinating 3-piece Rudimentary Peni (http://www.southern.net/southern/catalog/RPENI), they're highly regarded amongst punk cogniscenti. They're especially unusual as the bassist had and beat cancer and the singer/guitarist Nick Blinko is genuinely barking. The kind that needs medication. Weird shit happens when he doesn't take it. See below:

That's some of his nutty cover art. He's a so called Outsider (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outsider_art) artist. The man has written a book too, The Primal Screamer. Yep, involving primal scream therapy. They are believed to be the only band to release a record while a member was a patient sectioned under the mental health act.
Trouser press review. (http://trouserpress.com/entry.php?a=rudimentary_peni)
Hard to get good MP3s free but 30 sec samples here (http://rudimentary-peni.fireteamconsulting.com/). Recommend Farce, The Bile Ball, The Gardener, Zero Again, and Bubble. And they get weirder the more you delve into them. They're still going after years, and every so often release cracking angry and frightening records. They're instantly lovable/hateable so, be prepared.
-
I give you Zeni Geva.
If I had the faintest idea how to give you a house point you'd get one. Very fine indeed.
Ebay seller climaczuk accepted my offer of £3.50 for a new LP :great:
-
only got time for one tune today :(
the amusingly titled the holy fuck - casio bossa nova (http://funtimeok.com/files/mp3s/2006/08/08/The%20Holy%20Fuck-Casio%20Bossa%20Nova.mp3)
-
If anyone likes odd but brilliant UK punk then check out the fascinating 3-piece Rudimentary Peni (http://www.southern.net/southern/catalog/RPENI),
Another good recomendation from Houdini...
They also did a mad 'concept' album about HP Lovecraft.
-
I'm really liking that Casio Bossa Nova tune, and what a classic name!
My recommendation of the day comes from a similar stable as the tunes of Clouddead by an artist called Bus Driver, the album being Cosmic Cleavage. A quick search through bleep.com will drag him up. I do like some CloudDead stuff, but Bus Driver stuff I find far better.
Whilst you're on Bleep, check out the Mego record label. A label that I recommend you approach with caution and probably a fairly hefty dose of skepticism. And then probably leave with a healthy dose of skepticism.
-
big dada - class label :thumbsup:
dabrye - game over (http://funtimeok.com/files/mp3s/2006/06/02/Dabrye-game%20over%20(feat%20jay%20dee%20and%20phat%20kat).mp3) on the ghostly/spectral label, http://www.ghostly.com/ (http://www.ghostly.com/), which brings me to the excellent wonky audion - just fucking (http://www.ghostly.com/audio/clips/Audion-JustF_cking.mp3)
-
.....check out the Mego record label. A label that I recommend you approach with caution and probably a fairly hefty dose of skepticism. And then probably leave with a healthy dose of skepticism.
Endless Summer by Christian Fennesz on Mego - it's really good.
-
Falling Down, I'll get on to it. Mego have some awesome sleeve covers, I don't know why they appeal to me so much but they do. I'm not aware of the ghostly label, something else to get onto.
As for Audion, absolutely class shit. Brilliant to listen to from partying in the kitchen, to doing any high octane activity. And on another sleeve fetishist note, how decent are those of Audion!?
-
Listening to a great live PA from London's Rue East (Dave Hill and Mark Broom). Great late night on-yer-tod techno, nice tempo, not hard, minimal with quite deep dreamy bits, for techno. A Sebastian Kramer PA too.
Check the Audiio section of the Pure Plastic site. (http://www.pureplastic.co.uk/)
-
This is my mates mix cd I was talking about.
Tough dirty electro stylee.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RMUSC0MF (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RMUSC0MF)
Little bit complex, but in the right hand corner underneath the bit saying free video calls, there is a box. Enter the code at the right of the word Megaupload and next to the box, in the box and click download. It will reload the page and say wait 45 seconds, you should then be able to download it.
Bit complex but worth it, trust me.
-
So many good links recently, I've got a lot of stuff to check out.
Just been listening to the new Basement Jaxx album
(http://www.chart-king.de/content/images/6913.jpg)
- I like it :) It's hard not to like The Jaxx imho, if you're in the right mood anyroad.
Beautifully produced and more interesting than their last album imo.
-
I'm championing these 2 as the next new hip guys. MC Devvo and Shady piez. Rockin.

You're not wrong Bubba, the UKB collective has the knowledge fo' sho'. There's been some brilliant tips on music, films 'n books without even getting started on the climbing....
-
This month, oi arve been mostly purchasing:
Refused - The Shape Of Punk To Come
(http://www.cdquest.com/images/album_art/sorted/0045/7782/0045778200122.jpg)
This Swedish punk group have had a big influence over my mates' band (their cover of New Noise at the Manchester Academy bringing a brilliant set to a storming end) so I thought I'd pick up the album to see what it's like. It's fecking awesome. Hardcore interspersed with techno-y bits- lovely.
Quantic - Apricot Morning
(http://www.hhv.de/images/cover5/23827.jpg)
I really love Quantic's first album, The Fifth Exotic. I bought this expecting more of the same, but was dissappointed. It's less chilled and jazzier, and a few of them have guest singers. That said, the music is still good, and Alice Russell (previously mentioned by Bubba) has a divine voice.
-
I have very little to add to this at the moment, apart from The Guillemots, as recommended previously, are excellent.
Anyone downloaded new DJ Shadow yet??
-
Labradford (http://brainwashed.com/labradford/music.html) They've a bare and elegant aestethic, well paced. Somewhere between hyper-slow post-rock, ambient electronica and experimental sequenced beats. All very gentle.
Recommend early 1st LP Prazision, the '93 eponymous Labradford LP and the '99 E LUXO SO. I think their eponymous LP is their best effort.
-
Labradford (http://brainwashed.com/labradford/music.html) They've a bare and elegant aestethic, well paced...
Train journey music... and I mean that in a good way. The tempo is perfect for click clacking through the highlands or tearing down the West Coast mainline watching cows munching in the fields turning to Midlannds industry and it's subtle enough to read at the same time.
Andi_e - Refused.. yes very good. Adders turned me onto this album when I was asking for contemporary hardcore bands that were worth listening.
Over the weekend, I've been listening to Richard Youngs surrealist tinkerings, Rancid's 'Bring out the Wolves', Ruben Blades and Tortoise's TNT, which, if you don't own in your CD collection, you should.
-
A friendly little correction with Rancid, And Out Come The Wolves.
Just wondered if anybody knew of Cassette Boy, and if so, is it worth me parting with some dosh for any of his/their works?
-
A friendly little correction with Rancid, And Out Come The Wolves.
Ah yes... thanks for that... good job I don't write for a living.
Cassette Boy... nope I don't have any info. but for a good old fashioned punkorama you can't go wrong with Pegboyhttp://www.southern.com/southern/band/PEGBO/ (http://www.southern.com/southern/band/PEGBO/), Three Chord Monte, Strong Reaction and Earwig are all time classics IMHO (I'm sure a man of your tastes will have at least one of these already but just in case).
-
Any of you punk rockers catch this back in the early 90s:
Don't Turn Away by Face to Face.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_Turn_Away
Rousing passionate punk rock - great for getting psyched up on the way to the crag.
-
Yep. More techno. This time tribal (drum heavy clickerty-clackerty) & from Norway: Cave (http://cave.no/)
The site's none too impressive but there's a decent audio section with a live PA & plenty of mixes.
-
A friendly little correction with Rancid, And Out Come The Wolves.
Just wondered if anybody knew of Cassette Boy, and if so, is it worth me parting with some dosh for any of his/their works?
ARGH! (in a good way), casette boy, saw them at the mighty BANGFACE, linkola > http://www.bangface.com/ < if you scrat around that site you might get a snippet
is it the parker tapes that you're thinking of getting? reviews here > http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/urban/reviews/cassette_parker.shtml < for me, a little overdone, but still good
-
I downloaded some Cassette Boy but thought it was a bit shit - probably need another listen though.
-
Finally got around to buying this today:
(http://rateyourmusic.com/album_images/539291.jpg)
but when I put it in my CD drive, it made this noise:
CrrRRRRRrrrRRRRrrRRrrr <rattle> CrccrcrccrrcrcRRrrRcrRrrcRcrrcrcrcrc *plink*
so I took it out and ripped it onto my laptop. It's awesome. More chilled natural sounds similar to the Campfire Headphase. I've only listened to it once, however, so it's bound to improve!
-
Wow, it keeps getting better and better. Anyone else have it?
-
early morning, gathering senses.. radiq - the grass roots (rmx) (http://saturn5.com/~moebius/muzik/radiq-the_grass_roots(radiqs_babylon_dub_mix).mp3)
-
Wow, it keeps getting better and better. Anyone else have it?
Can't see the picture you posted so not sure what it is!
-
Oh deary me! Works on my computer. It's Trans Canada Highway by BoC...
-
i made my bi-annual trip to a proper record shop rather than my usual grubbing around in the sainsburys bargin bin and bought myself a copy of Ballad of the broken seas by isobel campbell and mark lanegan.
quite impressive i thought.
-
in my more chilled out moments, the following have been doin' it for me of late..
"sea change" beck
"fight for your mind" ben harper
"solid air" jon martyn
"exodus" bob marley
makes a change from the usual mix of british hip hop, funk, breaks and punk that seems to get me through the
day
-
ah, solid air, which may, or may not be on this patchouli scented offering from singlemanaffair > http://www.poptones.co.uk/mp3/singlemanaffairpodcast.mp3
solid air always puts me in mind of nick drake - the river man, and fairport convention's - who knows where the time goes
-
ah yeah river man, beautiful tune. heard a cover of this by someone called andy bey on a gilles peterson comp, almost identical to the original apart from it sounds like terry callier singing. quality...

I can't stand the sound first time around.... As some song said...
-
Been listening to some Alex Smoke (http://www.myspace.com/alexsmoke1).
Excellent downtempo techno/electro/electronica or however you want to label it.
If you liked the Nathan Fake/Rekid recs on this topic, then this will probably be up your street.
Alex Smoke is unique talent to emerge from the Glasgow music scene. This young producer is pushing the boundaries of electronic music with his innovative style of fusing deep european minimalism with emotional strings and intellegent electro rhythms.
Alex Smoke has a background in classical music which is very evident from the quality of his arrangements.
-
Fuck. He was playing in the 'burg last Friday night. I couldn't find any motion lotion so didn't bother.
Bubba, have you got Outhouse by Fake on vinyl. So simple, so good. There's a tougher Umek remix available too. Here's the original. Right here. (http://mp3.juno.co.uk/MP3/SF223186-01-02-01.mp3) A good track to hurl some nastiness over the top or under, methinks.
-
If you like Alex Smoke then is worth to check out also this two german guys. One is Michel Mayer. The other is Burnt Friedman. Especialy Burnt work with Nu Dub Players.
-
burial - south london boroughs (http://mp3.juno.co.uk/MP3/SF171340-01-01-01.mp3)

Been listening to some Alex Smoke
I've got a recent Alex Smoke Essential Mix and the recent Nathan Fake/James Holden EM from earlier this year. Both quality slices of down tempo techno bleeps.

Bubba, have you got Outhouse by Fake on vinyl. So simple, so good. There's a tougher Umek remix available too. Here's the original. Right here. (http://mp3.juno.co.uk/MP3/SF223186-01-02-01.mp3) A good track to hurl some nastiness over the top or under, methinks.
Nope, but will look out for it, though I don't buy vinyl any more. Like Umek though.

Been listening to some Alex Smoke
I've got a recent Alex Smoke Essential Mix and the recent Nathan Fake/James Holden EM from earlier this year. Both quality slices of down tempo techno bleeps.
Cool - I'll dig out those E.M.s

If you like Alex Smoke then is worth to check out also this two german guys. One is Michel Mayer. The other is Burnt Friedman. Especialy Burnt work with Nu Dub Players.
Another one to check out - thanks!

like to agree on the nathan fake tip, he has been keeping me well happy at the coal face this year (drowning in a sea of love LP)
on a classical groove anyone checked arvo part's minimalist plink plonk? (for arlina ep) - it's fine stuff, gets me teary-eyed! - also might not qualify as ffffffunky fresh beats either but hey
-
i'll check that later al, thanks for the tip

Got both mixes and they sound pretty good from a quick flick through - cheers for the rec.
PS http://themixingbowl.org/ is a great place to get Essential Mixes and Breezeblocks.

Anything by BoC is well worth listening to - LaBradford are excellent as well - great music to have on in the background.
Few recommendations by me:
Exhaust: Exhaust
One Speed Bike: Droopy Butt Begone - both on Constellation Records and pretty random electronica with samples and other assorted weirdness.
Tortoise: Standards
Lindstrom and Prins Thomas: Lindstrom and Prins Thomas - nice chill out.
bluebrad

Alongside a good friend, we've recently been debating the formation of an Arvo Part covers band (yes band). It would be a a guitar/electronic beats take on him. It's not a serious venture, but an interesting one! Stay tuned for aTabula Rasa top ten hit sometime soon!

Back on the subject of Nathan Fake, fans may or may not be aware he did a set on radio one back in March (I think it was). If anyones keen to hear this, it can be downloaded albumbase.com. Keyword Nathan Fake. Not advocating illegal downloads, but this one was and may still be available in the radio one archives. Enjoy

Mentioned this before and I'm not sure if it'll be in there, but a load of radio one shows (and other mixes) can be obtained from http://www.themixingbowl.org (http://www.themixingbowl.org). Some really good mixes there, some excellent Essential Mixes, Andy C, DJ Yoda and Rob Da Bank are particular favourites, and the Breezeblocks from 98-01 have some great gems in there, quite eclectic, some favourites are Prisoners of Technology (DnB), any of Andrew Weatherall's sets, and whatever takes your fancy really.

For some reason, recently the Drunken Sailor shanty has been circling my head. There's something about it that really gets me. Here's the best version I could find - turn it up and feel the sea salt fill your ears...
http://www.yarmcentral.ednet.ns.ca/sailing_ships/shanties/drunken_sailor.mp3
Shanties are the work songs that were used on the square-rigged ships of the Age of Sail. Their rhythms coordinated the efforts of many sailors hauling on lines. Much loved by modern sailors and folk musicians, they are rarely used as work songs today. This is because modern rigging doesn't require many people to be working in the same rhythm for long periods.
Traditional shanties can be grouped into three types: short haul shanties, for tasks requiring quick pulls over a relatively short time; halyard shanties, for heavier work requiring more setup time between pulls; and capstan shanties, for long, repetitive tasks requiring a sustained rhythm, but not involving working the lines.
-
you should take a trip up here to dull for the sea shanty festival.its the highlight of the social calender.

Trumans Water (http://www.trumanswater.com/) A small-fry but fucking awesome band. Of thick Tum is their 1st and best. Peel played this record in it's entirity in a oner on R1 a decade ago. How often do you hear of that happenning?

Really enjoyed getting back into Godspeed You! Black Emperor whilst on holiday last month.
-
Ah - so you do have good taste after all, JB. ;)
Godspeed you Black Emperor are supremely beautiful. If you like these peeps then find Handwriting or The Sea & Bells by Rachels. Give it a whirl - I'll bet you a pint you won't be disappointed.
-
After being introduced to Godspeed for the first time several years ago, I went to the Leeds festival. I noticed what I thought was their name on the line up and persuaded my friends they were worth seeing. We got to the tent early, and sat down on the ground. No one else was there. Then a couple of goths turned up. Then some more. Gradually, we were surrounded by white faces, piercings, black leather and big boots. I began to suspect something was not quite right. Then these chaps came on stage:
http://www.godhead.com/news.html
They picked up their instruments, plugged in their amps and started screaming at the microphones. I looked at my friends. They looked at me. We left.
Just noticed that Godspeed have a load of mp3s on their official website:

Boris are really quite an eye opener ... here's my post on this very thread from earlier this year
"Boris; Akuma No Uta: I was expecting some japanese version of dark Sun 0>>> drone metal but was pleasantly surprised to find a great mix of Earth type stoner rock with Lazy Cowgirls/The Dwarves garage punk-rock - quite brilliant if that kind of thing floats your boat. Plus the cover is a funny rip-off of Nick Drake's Bryter Layter which is intriguing in itself."

I've done a quick search and I cant find anyone recommending Pendulum.
Totally awesome D&B, I saw them at Global Gathering last year. Their album "Hold your colour" is fantastic.

What don't you like about Mclusky? (RIP)

i don't like the fact that you like 'em :lol:
ok, alan is a cowboy killer is good, but all in all they were (imho) far too influenced by albini; but hey we can all like different shizz, right?
-
Albini is one of the more interesting men in rock IMO.
I like Mclusky lyrically more than musically, especially tracks like Without MSG I am Nothing ("You're the only one with no trousers on / your add-ic-tion.")
Yes, some people wear their influences too openly. Vis-a-vis Albini/Shellac influences: Checkout Technician (http://www.technician.org/) The influence is manifest. Yet I like them for the KLANG!
As for differences in opinion etc.. That's what makes life interesting, non?

If I remember rightly, there's a smattering of Audion (Matthew Dear) fans out there. I've been sessioning some sheet off the Spectral label, and The Conservation of Electric Charge stands out.

yay! except conservation is by bodycode (paul abrahams), suckfish is by audion; both on spectral/ghostly tho :), buying stuff from them is a cinch, got a bootiful bright pink audion t-shirt (http://store.ghostlyinternational.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv)

New DJ Shadow "The Outsider" is definitely a grower; Broken Levee Blues is great.
-
Only had one listen to the Outsider so far but didn't really like it. Not a typical Shadow album, loads of crunky sounding tunes with a few random indie/bluesy tracks thrown in. Doesn't really work as an album but could be a grower. Broken Levee Blues definitely a class tune.
-
First listen, I thought the same thing. 5th or 6th time, it starts to "resolve" itself. Agree it's not a typical DJS album though, even though I don't think he has released enough to have a "typical" yet though.
-
I'll probably change my mind after a few listens and declare it the best DJ Shadow album of all time.
For anyone that likes a bit of aggressive and shouty punk rock, the Bronx's newish self-titled album is very good. It's a bit more chilled than their last album, which in my opinion has led to some better songs.
The Drips new self-titled album also has a similar sort of sound but is not as good. They are made up of various members of different punk bands including The Bronx. You can download the two best songs off the album from their myspace site http://www.myspace.com/thedrips (http://www.myspace.com/thedrips).

inevitable sample (http://saturn5.com/~moebius/muzik/The_Blow_vs_Strategy(Holocene_Remix_Comp_v1).mp3) (though by no means representative, the cd is eclectic)
-
Great sample cheers Soapy. Really don't know a lot about US minimal techno labels, would love to hear of some more though. Anything Matthew Dearish would be a much appreciated recommendation.

I saw yesterday on a flyer that they're playing in Liverpool on my birthday in October. Never actually heard them, but maybe might make a good night out?
Oh and for those interested, James Holden is playing at a night called Bleep at the Carling Academy in Liverpool in mid November.
-
oh, which reminds me. Mathew Dear is playing in Liverpool in October. Can't remember the exact date but I'll find out and get to you, if someone doesn't do it first. I'll definitely be going. If you haven't heard matthew dear play live you will be shocked to find that his live sets are not exactly minimal. :dance1:
-
Class! I've been listening to him all afternoon as well as Dj Koze who I've recently discovered. I'm definitely there.
Fingathing are playing in Liverpool on the 23rd Sept (I think). I know little about them other than a lot of people seem to like them.
-
Matthew Dear and Troy Pierce playing at Aztek in Liverpool on the 20th October. Yes, I will be there.

Generally speaking - I really don't mind what tastes people have - as long as they can explain why they like or dislike something. However, with the UK metalists Bolt Thrower, I fail to conform to my own rules. I've no idea why I like this band. Perhaps it's their Maiden-like twin guitar riffage that lights my fire? Maybe it's their complete fascination with war, honour and glory? Don't get me wrong, they ain't Manowar! Either way, despite my confusion, I love 'em!

With thanks Gentlemen. The other day, a few of us were bemoaning the lack of warehouse parties nowadays. We stumbled across one recently in Liverpool and it was fantastic, but other than that there has been a serious dearth of industrially influenced good times of late. Are the Germans still big into this format?
sorry for roaming mildly o.t

In the summer it is generally a little more difficult to get stunning club nights as the machinery moves outdoors for the festival and free-party scene. I can't speak for the nexus of German Techno, Frankfurt (and latterly Berlin) but it's certainly the case for Hamburg. Fuck going to Bayern for techno. Austria is better if you are going south.
A close ex-pat DJ friend of mine, Dave X, originally came to Germany around a dozen years ago with little more than a satchel of records and his toothbrush. He recalls many free (and pay to enter) illegal raves in the vast, VAST! labyrinth of underground tunnels and bunkers under the streets of Berlin. As he says - those were very much the days... And alas, Tresor (www.tresor-berlin.de) has died as a venue. They still release records mind. In general a 'dry' tech sound, but they are spreading their wings all the time. Tresor is dead! Long live Tresor!

At the moment I am very much liking In The Aeroplane Over The Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel
Amazing in a tuneful yet weird way. Inspired lyrics like:
Two headed boy
Put on sunday shoes
And dance round the room to accordion keys
With the needle that sings in your heart
Catching signals that sound in the dark
Catching signals that sound in the dark
We will take off our clothes
And they'll be placing fingers through the notches in your spine
Your father made fetuses
With flesh licking ladies
While you and your mother
Were asleep in the trailer park
Thunderous sparks from the dark of the stadiums
The music and medicine you needed for comforting
So make all your fat fleshy fingers to moving
And pluck all your silly strings
And bend all your notes for me
Soft silly music is meaningful magical
The movements were beautiful
All in your ovaries
All of them milking with green fleshy flowers
While powerful pistons were sugary sweet machines
Smelling of semen all under the garden
Was all you were needing when you still believed in me
Genious
-
Mountain Goats did a cover of Two Headed Boy and it is most excellent. Anything that comes out of john darnielle's mouth (including excrement) is genius.
-
Quite why nobody else has posted this is beyond me, but Bonnie Prince Billy has released a new album entitled The Letting Go. Although I haven't even finished listening to it, I can without any doubt say it's wonderful. It is somewhat lighter than his other albums, in a musical sense it is less dark. Those familiar with Superwolf will know what I am alluding to. Please, if you like music, buy this album. It comes with a bonus cd too featuring different versions of previous songs. Yes, Bonnie Prince Billy ranks very highly amongst my musical loves, and you should love him too.
-
Two headed boy
I was wondering where you got such a bizarre name for a problem from.
-
Quite why nobody else has posted this is beyond me, but Bonnie Prince Billy has released a new album entitled The Letting Go.
Heard some of this the other day. It did sound good.
A few older Bonnie songs here:

Really nice techno track : http://www.myspace.com/martinbuttrich - play the "full clip" one.
-
Good call Bubba, I did like that. And well done to Uncle for shining a light on the twisted genius that is Will Oldham. I have a few of his earlier records, but need to catch up on the recent material, in fact I'm off to order my copy of The Letting Go right now.
My favourite band at the moment is the Drive by Truckers, check out their latest album: A Blessing and a Curse
http://www.myspace.com/drivebytruckers
The Dirty South album is amazing too, but I think I've said that on here before.
-
Let's keep it heavy with one of the best grindcore bands the UK ever shat out. Carcass (http://www.myspace.com/carcass)
One for Bonjoy: B O L T T H R O W E R !!
You legend. Have a wad point for mentioning both of those. Impeccable taste in grindcore, two of my favourite bands since I first heard tracks of John Peel.
One of the earliest gigs I went to, as a school kid, was Bolt Thrower at The Marquee (?) in London - went on a Saturday night, my ears finally stopped ringing some time on Wednesday...
Anyway, that's reminded me that I really need to re-buy some early metal stuff on CD (all on cassette at the moment). Since there is bugger all being released in the DNB scene now is as good a time as any!
-
Enough with the whatever-core already.
On a gentler note, I'm currently enjoying:
A C&W version of "Killing in the name", by four half-brothers from Normandy;

French Gypsy-Jazz/Swing/Tzigane stuff:

Just a little gift from me to you - because I care!
TODD - Butlers' Portion. (http://www.southern.net/southern/band/TODDD/28117.php) (From the Purity Pledge LP) I can't think directly but the mp3 is there on the right hand side. Enjoy!
(http://www.southern.net/southern/band/TODDD/pics/28117M.gif)
and one from me to you http://myspace.com/narcosisgrind not totally my thing, but amazing tight technical grind from Liverpool. Speaking of Carcass, have you heard Jeff Walker's country album?
-
This month, I have been mostly listening to:
Sikth: After seeing them live in Leeds it's made me want to hear more of them. I only have two tracks, but I'll probably buy The Trees Have Died And Dried Out Waiting For Something Wild soon.
Youth Movie Soundtrack Strategies: http://www.myspace.com/youthmovies
A very cool band, I can't really describe them, but they're very good indeed, especially the track "the Pitch And Yaw Of Satellites"
65daysofstatic:
Oh my god!
How awesome can you get? Epic. Sheer mind-blowing epicness...
Glassjaw: I've listened to Worship and Tribute in the past but I only got around to getting it (i.e. finding it cheap) recently and it's very good indeed.

I'm liking this a lot.
-
Quality find Uncle. Still game for Dear?
-
Uncle, there's a nice Joris Voorn Fuse mix available on Oink - very good sound quality too.
-
Back with the proper fresh and funky beats i.e. hip-hop. Finally got some new stuff, just ordered:
Swollen Members - Black Magic - http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/235198-01.htm
Not as relentlessly awesome nor as consistent as their excellent Balance nor Bad Dreams albums (which any head should own), but still some very good stuff on here with usual strong beats.
Phi Life Cypher - Playback - http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/232219-01.htm
Never really tried the Phi before but this collection of various collaboration tracks and unreleased tunes comes across pretty well to me. Some good beats and upfront rapping. Check.

I've just spent 10 days in Northern Spain and NW Ireland on a perfect.. perfect... perfect surf trip (Photo's to come on another thread) and listened to some new CD's in the car and van.
The Early Years: Nice one JB and Panto.. I like this a lot. As well as the Neu! it reminded me a bit of Joy Division and Jesus and Mary Chain.
Another shout for the new Bonnie Prince Billy - much better than Master and Everyone.. really, really good. Recorded in Iceland with a string quartet it brings out another subtle change to his repertoire.
Dubstep All Stars Vol 4: Mixed by Hatcha and Youngsta.. More mad beats and stuff, a cleaner more digital sound than Vol 3.
Head Like a Kite: Random Portraits. Don't bother... it's a bit rubbish IMHO despite the rave reviews on the cover sticker and in some magazines - trying a bit too hard.
The Soledad Brothers: Hardest Walk. Detroit garage rock.. stooges/white stripes etc. Good.
Muse: Black Holes and Revelations: Having never owned a Muse album I picked this up in Holyhead Woolies whilst waiting for the SeaCat to Dublin after I being impressed with a live performance from Leeds or Reading on the tele this Summer and hearing the odd tune on the radio. It's brilliant.. reminds me of Queen & Rush with a bit of Radiohead chucked in for good measure.
-
Just Navigating the Four Tet Remixes Double Album. Really good if you like Four Tet, but a bit indulgent.
CD1 - Remixes of songs by other people by him ( broad range including Radiohead, Madvillan, Aphex Twin etc)
CD2 - Remixes of Four Tet Songs by other people (including 4 very different versions of A Joy).
Worth checking out if it sounds like your thing.
-
Youth Movie Soundtrack Strategies: http://www.myspace.com/youthmovies

Nice find Andi... :great: I just listened to the tracks on their MySpace site and downloaded the album from eMusic.
-
The Early Years: Nice one JB and Panto.. I like this a lot. As well as the Neu! it reminded me a bit of Joy Division and Jesus and Mary Chain.
Good to hear - saw them last night in york, bit short due to it being a support slot but superb. The Simple Solution sounded particularly good with the addition of a huge throbbing bassline. If you're keen for more I can burn you the BBC sessions, a bit more like the live sound...
-
I haven't heard of any of these people dammit, and I'm not checking out 58 pages of name checks of people I haven't heard of so that I then worry that I should have heard of them. I know you guys have posted downloads but you don't get a shiney CD case with things like Limited Edition, Bonus Tracks, and Extra Features written on (they're not cynical marketing ploys, they mean I'm special because I've got them)
and downloads're illegal. And they don't work on my `puter.
Don't you lot like anything normal? and if not, why not?! The Killers are at number 1 FFS. That's a good album. Even if you don't like it, someone else will love you for it come christmas.
-
All of my beats are normal....for their respective genres.
And I usually give links to playlist pages where you can order CDs!
-
Good. right.
Music got really confusing when I realised I didn't like any particular genre. When it's shit it's shit, when it's good it's good.
The worst bit is when people ask me what I'm into, and all I can think to answer is Um. In general it's an eclectic mix of CDs, and in general anything I'm listening into at anyone time probably came out two or three years ago. This is why I bigged up The Killers - to make it look like I'm hip and current.
Like in the Town Cryer episode when Homer Simpson says to Lisa "You're always right about these things adn I'm sick of getting left behind, so just for once I want in from the start"
But even though I'm not a man of wealth and taste, it's still good.
-
Don't you lot like anything normal? and if not, why not?!
:lol: :lol: Quality line. That's made me laugh my arse off.

Chill Paz. I know what you mean, I never really subscribe to any genre of music, and haven't got a clue what most of the recommendations on here are anyway, so never bother.
FWIW I have only listened to the new Killers album once or twice, and it sounds great. Saving it for 3 weeks of driving in SA, as you know how quickly you go through music then.
-
I remember talking to a DJ and he was like "no, I don't like Progressive House, I only really like Cultural House..."
wtf?! people get far too narrow minded when it comes to genres and get scared to listen to anything else. You're right Paz, if it's good it's good and if it's shit it's shit.
But what is "normal" anyway? I like quite a lot of well known music, it doesn't have to be obscure to be good, but tbh most stuff I like is away from the mainstream. Not sure why, I guess my tastes have mainly led me into weirdy electronica. It wasn't a concious decision, that's just what floats my boat.
And there's plenty of legal download sites that offer such stuff, eg http://bleep.com.
The other point is that this topic is here to recommend stuff that is good and you may not have heard of - hidden gems, etc....there's no point in people recommending things like the Killers on here because everyone knows about them anyway.
FWIW I think The Killers are ok, but very very overhyped at the moment.
-
Okay how about this for mainstream and popular - Ed Rush and Optical.
http://www.breakbeat.co.uk/listen/listen-albums.asp?display_year=2006&display_month=9#1002745
Now, I haven't liked Ed Rush and Optical at all in recent years. When they started individually with tracks like the superbly cyberpunk To Shape The Future and the searingly dark The Raven, they varied between good and great. Together, Wormhole was about as mundane as DnB got at the time, and subsequent offerings, with the exception of the odd gem like Kerbkrawler, have been similarly unstimulating.
However, this album seems to be getting a fine balance between dancefloor (and possibly daytime radio!) popularity, and actually interesting DnB. It's sort of ravey and groovy and high energy, and although it has plenty of those vocals / guitars and OTT melodies that will please all the kiddies who think they are into DnB because they like Pendulumn, those aspects don't override the DnB too much.
I think I'll actually get this one.
-
Can't listen to them coz not got the right plugin :(
Maybe I shouldn't have deleted Windows Media Player...

New mix available at www.mountainrescueradio.com (http://www.mountainrescueradio.com) so get it.
It's called "Beach by Day, City by Night" and as you might expect is comprised of two rather different halves. Worth a look.
-
Some nice tracks there Uncle. Liked the first half. Went off to eat bacon during the second, so not entirely sure what it consisted of, but I was vaguely worried by some of the sounds emanating from my room.
Check this out, Sleephouse Radio, good podcasts - usually more obscure stuff...

Cheers boys. Today I came across the following nugget from the man Jarvis Cocker (when guest editing the Observer Music Monthly)
"Is there any point in writing about music?"
-
i too think the new killers album is good.didn't mention it on here though in case i got relegated to cocktalk.
-
Got a new Fresstylers artist album last week, entitled "Adventures in Freestyle".
As it says on the tin, this isn't the usual breaks stuff they produce, but a very eclectic mix of songs. Veering through hiphop, breaks, rock, mo-town esque, even indie sounding stuff. Really good actually.
-
I suppose with all this talk of the killers and other mainstream music someone has to move a little further afield. So how about this, a cd you can't buy, one that was only given out by hand at certain m-nus (the label) events this year and in limited numbers. It is called [2] Kontakt RTW and if you know m-nus you know what to expect. A really strong set of tracks all of which are unreleased. For those who like their techno, their minimal, their top's off munching parties then try to find this cd. It is very good.
Looking forward to seeing Troy Pierce on friday night even more now!
-
I never really subscribe to any genre of music, and haven't got a clue what most of the recommendations on here are anyway....
Isn't that sort of the point of this thread though Chris.. ? I reckon most of us are in a similar situation in that we haven't heard of the bulk of the recomendations. Some of these artists may be unknown and in some cases, downright esoteric, but I don't think for a minute that anyone is posturing or being deliberately obscure.
I enjoy finding and listening to music I've not heard before just as much as I enjoy the familiar sounds
Anyway here's a real gem I've been listening to this week (in between Muse and the radio and other stuff - yes I do listen to popular music Paz :P)
Belbury Poly: The Willows on Ghost Box: I bought this on the strength of a Simon Reynolds article on Ghost Box/Mordant Music records in The Wire which was the first time in months I've thought 'I must hear some of the that' after reading an article. Fans of Boards of Canada will _love_ this record.. it's a little bit queasy and woozy.. anyone over 30 will feel instantly at home with the aesthetic.. dusty classroom books... 'Lumpi ist mein hund'... it's a also a bit spooky with nods to Arthur Machen..
Available on CD or as a download from Bleep.com or iTunes.
-
I know Hot Cip has been mentioned a few times already but: make sure you check out the first album as well. More listenable all the way through with some top tracks too - We Ride is particularly good. Thanks to Char for the cd ;)

To be honest FD, I don't really have time to listen properly to most of the CDs I do buy, not to mention all the old ones. Between us we probably have something like 250 - 300 CDs or possibly more at home, many of which are on regular rotation. Most stuff I buy takes at least a few listens to to get attuned to it, otherwise I find myself getting bored with it very quickly if it's too accessible.
In the words of Homer, I find it hard to find the time to get down any more.
I've still got your Boards of Canad CDs by the way, hope you don't need them any time soon

There's a cracking techno night out coming up at The Old Brewery, Manchester, 27th October.

Ben Sims, A Guy Called Gerald, DJ Stingray (Drexciya) and others.

I enjoy finding and listening to music I've not heard before just as much as I enjoy the familiar sounds
I definitely agree with you- and FWIW I'm down with some previous FD recommendations because I was just so intrigued by the kinds of stuff / genres far removed from my usual references. No way would I have looked at Fonotone for example, now I'm looking towards a lot more Old Timey / Appalachian bluegrass stuff, and really loving it.
The musical unknown is a wonderful, rich, life enhancing place- sometimes it's downright horrible, but in general I'm continually amazed and enthralled every week. I may only hear an album once, flick through the tracks maybe, but then something will just shout out, and then I'll give it the time and generally, it's worth the effort.
This week, I'm loving Beirut - Gulag Orkestar, having heard Postcards from Italy on Zane one evening, and for a while, I've been loving [smog] - A River Ain't Too Much To Love, a guy with a voice so deep and rich, yet beautifully clear that the music is just a little background enhancement. It's like a pint of Guinness with Bailey's for the head.
-
Great it is to see so many being turned on by The Palace Brothers/Oldham.
For what it's worth, I rate Viva Last Blues as the zenith of Palace endeavour, in particular for the song The Brute Choir. Great song, great title and a perfect problem name. A rare talent Oldham has.
(http://images.google.co.uk/images?q=tbn:UZMrxQRmSAk1OM:http://www.palace.free.fr/disco/images/Viva_last_blues.jpg)
If you don't own this LP, do yourself a favour. You won't be disappointed.

Troy Pierce and Matthew Dear were the shit. The visuals were some of the best I have seen at a shindig. Spoke to Dear for a while post set and he was a sound chap. Heard rumours of Minus records giving out free promo CD's but sadly didn't happen this time.

DRUM and BASS!
Finally got a couple of cool CDs after a pretty dry period in recent months...
Cycle - Hyper Frequencies (Fenomeno Inc)
Japanese! I always like trying foreign d'n'b as you can find some hidden gems, of which this is one. Sort of on the vocal / liquid / uplifting side with some mellow tracks but quite a few fierce tracks and some good breaks too. All of it has an energetic, uplifting feel which is nice.
Fierce presents Dominion (Quarantine)
A compilation of artists like Fierce, Break, D-Bridge, Silent Witness etc doing rolling techy stuff very much in the vein of Noisia et al. The first CD is quite good if a bit unremarkable, but the second mixed CD is quite a gem - a consistently good mix with notably smooth pacy mixing, worth a listen for sure.

Pure Techno on 3 or 4 decks: layered, repetitive and at times abstract techno that requires a considered approach.)
I really like the "wall of sound" you can get mixing techno with more than 2 decks.
I did a whole tape once where there were *always* at least two decks playing at one time, and 3 a lot of the time. Minimal techno lends itself well to this - if you can beat-match quickly and confidently it's not that difficult.
-
Muse: Black Holes and Revelations: Having never owned a Muse album I picked this up in Holyhead Woolies whilst waiting for the SeaCat to Dublin after I being impressed with a live performance from Leeds or Reading on the tele this Summer and hearing the odd tune on the radio. It's brilliant.. reminds me of Queen & Rush with a bit of Radiohead chucked in for good measure.
It is rather good isn't it. I got the Rush and Queen vibe from it as well. The last track Knights Of Cydonia is very Rush-like IMHO. The one CD that's stuck in the car player at the moment is the last Placebo album, Meds, which is the best thing they've ever done if you ask me. The song writing is very strong all the way through, with some excellent lyrics as well, nice and dark in places. Follow The Cops Back Home is brilliant.
-
I've fairly lost interest in 2 deck mixes. It sounds as if there are just too many gaps in the sound.
The Japanese have a term for the gaps or silences between sounds in a song, they call it "ma". I like it when "ma" gets wiped out completely and you are left with an OTT head fuck. The best example of this I have found so far is from the Brazilian, DJ Murphy. Always on 4 decks (though that's not to say that more is always more as most will know it's not, Surgeon - "It doesn't matter whether it's played on 2 decks, 3 decks, or the spoons.") Murphy always presents the music well. He's also the only DJ I've heard to combine techno and scratching to great effect.

For those feeling that their daily dose of techno hasn't been up to par this week
Unclesomebody would do better than to cease spewing from his anus and make with more than one recommendation every 5 weeks. Lazy fuck.
-
PS That's a resonable set from Beyer, Unc'. Not CD releasable quality though.
I think a problem with many torrents/freebies is that often they are not up to par with what an artist is happy to release on CD. I like Beyer, one time in a club in Berlin he shoved a bootle of poppers under my snout, which I was grateful for at the time.
There is more than one side to Beyer: for lighter, groovier, more atmospheric moments I would recommend The Stockholm Mix Sessions Vol.3 CD on Turbo recordings:
(http://www.artistdirect.com/Images/Sources/AMGCOVERS/music/cover200/drf200/f201/f201443237s.jpg)
And also a collaboration CD with Joel Mull under the name of Lask - Afro Disco. Though this is more cerebral:
(http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B0000365MC.02.MZZZZZZZ.jpg)
And in case you missed this in the 60 or so pages before: Ignition Key. Groovy techno given room to breathe alongside edgier moments.
(http://techno.gra.pl/technoland/biografie/adam_beyer/ignition_key_okladka.jpg)
It's fuckin' ace. Damn good.
And don't forget his 1st CD release on the mighty Drumcode label: Protechtion.
(http://www.kompaktkiste.de/cd/_label/drumcode/dccd1.jpg)
I think this is still his best work available on CD - uncompromising and pure. Drumcode never lets you down.
I don't think much of his Timewarp CD, a little under what I'd expect from the man.
-
thanks for all those nice pictures houdini. Luckily for me I have all those albums. You'd be well advised to check out the other RA mixes (unless you follow the logic that they are not cd releasese and therefore sub par).
-
Hmmm! Badinage!
I like to put those piccies in so that if anyone should stumble across something, they have a better chance of remembering a tip (I find it easier to remember a tip with a pic to match a title). No Unc, y'daft apeth, I wouldn't follow that logic always, but a lot of stuff gleaned from the net can be a bit poo; I find it quite hard to find freebies worth plugging. (I refuse to pay for an mp3.)
But thanks for RA tip - you advise well. Not been there before: good site. Other tips?
Meanwhile, back in the Technarium, it's gone hard and loop-based with the UK's Pounding Grooves (Glenn Wilson) on Fine Audio Recordings' DJ Mix Series Vol.4:
(http://www.artistdirect.com/Images/Sources/AMGCOVERS/music/cover200/drg000/g004/g00471fsif2.jpg)
The Thin Controller is finding this most useful in blowing away the fug left by murky ale the night previous...
(PS. Anyone heard the Beyer Fabric CD released not long back? I found that a little light and airy on the whole.)
(Pssst. Unc'. Apologies for the jibe. Man was I cunted last night...)
-
I kind of agree with you about the Beyer fabric cd, which links in to my point. A lot of the time, CD releases tend to be somewhat toned down for home listening, so the better techno things I hear are either live sets of various non public releases. Sometimes I like to wake up and put a proper pounding set on from Beyer or something, and so far that's never been a cd, but normally a live set.
I will post another tip in 5 weeks... ;)

You have a good point here uncle, though fwiw I wasn't over impressed by that particular Beyer mix you posted.
A case in point is Claude Young's DJ Kicks CD mix....Claude Young is an *amazing* techno DJ when he's playing live, but his CD was just too safe, too sanitised and was a huge dissapointment.
-
I like Claude Young live too. A risk taker, I would say. It's also great to hear a man who really knows the Detroit sound. You mean the DJ Kicks CD?
Try this: one CD Young, one CD Rok (though it may be that you could have similar feelings about this too). Personally I like the DJ Rok CD better (The most arrogant DJ in Germany - Yep. Including Hell):
(http://www.nuloop.com/real/Dj-sets/dj-sets10cd.jpg)
And if you like that, Sturm und Drang (Storm & Stress) on Tresor.
(http://www.tresorberlin.com/images/small/tresor_115_globus03_rok.jpg)
For a while, Young was resident at the now defunct Hamburg Phonodrome. Great days. Rok (www.dj-rok.de) is a lot more uncompromising live though. Quite nasty.

Sorry about the loss of the piccies. Hotlink schmot link...

Definitely - scratches, chops, spins and just general mayhem. Just had the knack of sending the crowd off. Saw him at the Orbit one NYE and he actually got through a whole bottle of whiskey during his set! Shook his hand over the decks at Sankeys - nice guy :)
You mean the DJ Kicks CD?
Yeah - it's not bad, it's just nothing like his live stuff.
Rok (www.dj-rok.de) is a lot more uncompromising live though. Quite nasty.
Sounds good, I'll try to find some Rok sets.

Squarepusher - "Hello Everything" (Warp)
New album from Tom Jenkinson. A bit more melodic than a lot of his stuff with the usual mix of live instruments and electronics.
For this, his 10th album in as many years, Tom "Squarepusher" Jenkinson is in playful mood. He has said Hello Everything is him "having a laugh" after recording several albums that were, at times, frustrating and difficult listens. This new CD may divide his fans - which include Andre 3000, Thom Yorke and Flea - as some prefer his material to sound more like a drum kit and a bag of cats being kicked down a flight of stairs. On the other hand, others will be glad to hear an album brimming with tunes. Dazzling chord progressions override fiendishly intricate beats as Jenkinson combines the elation of rave with the complexity of jazz. Theme from Sprite positively twinkles with melody and the pacey Hello Meow combines chiming xylophones and virtuoso bass playing. It is not all a ball - Vacuum Garden is six minutes of beatless ambience that ebbs, flows and spooks - but, for the most part, this is Squarepusher on full beam and Hello Everything is a thing of unbridled joy.
Have a listen at http://squarepusher.net/

Aye Bubba, tis amazing. Seen him live a few times including the London Sinfonietta/Warp collaboration which was the best musical event I've ever seen.
If you get the chance DO NOT miss him and book your ticket early as he frequently exceeds capacity.
Bubba, have you heard the Square Window mini CD that came with some copies of Ultravisitor?
-
Nearly caught him live last time he was in Sheffield, but missed it :(
No, not heard that mini-CD, I've just got the regular Ultravisitor - is it worth seeking out?

Good to see these German recommendations flowing thick and fast. Magda is playing in Liverfool tomorrow which would be a wise venture for anyone inclined. Think I'm off to it. There is a fucking big warehouse party all-night too in the vicinty which is an open invite. If anyone wants to know owt, drop me a line.
I believe a big canister of laughing gas is being supplied too for anyone who likes laughing.

lately I've been listening to the following albums, all of which have left me in various states of musical ecstacy:
...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead - first album from '98
I'm slightly gutted that I've only just discovered them. A friend of mine used to rave about them, but I never checked them out until recently.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...And_You_Will_Know_Us_by_the_Trail_of_Dead
Guided by Voices - Universal Truths and Cycles
Possibly my favourite band of all time. I can also strongly recommend Alien Lanes, Mag Earwig, Bee Thousand. Even Do the Collapse which many fans saw as a disappointingly commercial album is light years ahead of what any of those tedious NME bands (The Killers/Razorlight/Kasabian/Franz Ferdinand etc) have ever achieved.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guided_By_Voices
Paul Westerberg/Grandpaboy - Stereo/Mono
Ex lead singer of The Replacements, very prolific, and thus quite confusing if you don't know where to start. I'd recommend the Grandpaboy - Mono disc from this split album. I can't stop playing it. If you're curious about The Replacements, then Let it be is the album to get.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Replacements
Also got hold of that Neutral Milk Hotel album following a rec on this thread. It's pretty cool and I'm sure it'll grow on me (I only got it this morning).
The new Bonnie Prince Billy album (The letting go), mentioned by Uncle a few weeks back has been a regular player of late. Very fine, up there with his best material IMO.
-
I forgot to mention:
American Music Club - Everclear
The production is a little strange, but this is still a remarkable album.

-

-
Cofe, a couple of listens in and I'm completely hooked. :dance1: A brilliant lo-fi mash up just about every great modern American band (Violent Femmes, Mercury Rev, Flaming Lips, Pixies, Pavement...etc).
I can't praise it highly enough.
-
Knew you'd be hooked. It's one of those albums I can listen full through and then stick back on from the start.
Watch out though Panto, you'll find yourself singing 'I LOVE YOU JEESUS CH_RIIIST, JESUS CHRIST I LOVE YOU, YES I DOOOO' in public :oops:

New 57min OVR mix available from titans of UK minimal techno James Ruskin & Regis in the audio section of Ruskins' site www.blueprintrecords.net/
Occassionally abstract, yet rude and at times soulful. Takes a mo to get into the swing of things - enjoy.
If you don't have Ruskins' 2nd artist CD on Tresor Point 2 from 2000, do yourself a favour.

Just picked up Bongos Bleeps and Baselines by Zero Db after reading a random review somewhere - it's awesome. Latin beats with a whole lot of extras added in and to make the whole experience that little bit better it comes in what can only be described as the most faff inducing CD case ever.

Tuomas Rantanen: Industrial strength techno from Finland.
Here's Rantanens' homepage (http://www.phinnweb.org/finndiscog/rantanen/) (for those few - if any - that would like to know or hear more from this member of the Finnish obliterati).
".... a bunch of angry guys pouring frustration, protest and hate messages out of their horns. That's not the message these kids want to hear. Life is a dance. If man isn't dancing I'm worried."
Charles Lloyd, 1967
Techno music is a very universal language which can create the original relationship to the world. It is a language which can in a very radical way set questions that involve our relationship to the environment, tradition and for instance to new technology, and the question, which concerns the manner of our being in the world.

Now D/Ling the Vilnius set - anything that has Surgeon like elements to it has to be listened to and admired IMO - be interesting what else your man manages to come up with. Talking of Surgeon - you going to see the great man play Sheff next month?

For over two decades Whitehouse have been a fucking awesome ensemble. I don't listenen to Whitehouse for "listening pleasure", I listen to Whitehouse to have my head fucked with. There is no other band that comes even close to having a manifesto one half of one percent as downright dangerous as Whitehouse: The joke's on you. Against Whitehouse, Crass were fucking amateurs.

Stubbs. What's the Waits LP from not so long back that contains the song whose lyric goes something like: What's he doing in there? What's he building in there? (etc..) to some kind of dissonant industrial fuzz in the background? Think I need this LP.

There's a good live version of that on his VH1 storytellers session which wasn't officially released, but may or may not be available by other channels :whistle:

New incubus album 'Light grenades' is awesome if anyone is interested! Takes a bit of listening to and is once agagin different from previous stuff, definately worth buying though if your into metal. Going to see them in april for the 3rd time! Best band i have ever seen, they are better live than on cd!
-
... they are better live than on cd!
??? Thought that was a general prerequisite for any live act.

im listening to Angels and Airwaves and Fall out boy at the mo
i think they are really cool :great:

You obviously haven't seen Queens of the stoneage live. Oh.dear.god.no. Could they have been any more boring? I say no. However, I am quite partial to some of their recorded stuff.

I remember hearing this for the first time on a dark night in a packed minibus on the way back to Norwich. Funny how songs attach themselves to moments.
But yes, it's great. Might have to seek it out myself.

To be fair, he didn't actually say that he willlingly returned. Maybe r-man meant to say... "I remember hearing this for the first time at gun-point on a dark night, bound and gagged in a blacked out Lexus on the way back to Norwich".

You know too many details for this to be a coincidence. The gunman never was caught...

...and neither will he ever be caught. You'll never take me alive! Cue Big Verne-esque shotgun in mouth life ending action.

that's just down the road from me. bloody sold out though.

hey, i think this should be somewhere else..

Today I gave The Outsider, DJ Shadow a quick rinse cycle, on the strength of loving 'This Time (i'm gonna do it my way)'....
First impression was, well fair play how could anyone come up with a worthy sequel to Entdroducing...
Second was he should have left Unkle where it was as a snapshot of that place and time, and give up hanging out with James Lavelle (assuming that the similar influences are not simply coincidental)....
Further listening on headphones required.....
-
B O L T T H R O W E R !!
Awesome. Added some of this into my evergrowing music collection and it's pretty cool.
Other recent additions: Morbid Angel, The Orb (U.F.Orb and Dark side of the moog, which is quality!) and Gogol Bordello, which is also very cool.

Yep but its on a minidisc on the other side of the world which obviously isn't much help. I may well rip this when I get back to the UK but that won't be until mid 2007.
In the mean time you might want to try Soulseek (http://www.slsknet.org).

Not bad. An unusual sound, Herr Vogel has. Heard him one time in Tresor, Berlin. He kicked ass.
Not at all familiar with Superconductor, but can recommend his recent 2CD on Tresor (one live CD, one tracks CD)
(http://wwws.mmjbdata.com/graphics/www.mmguide.musicmatch.com/album_image/amg/drf800/f851/f85190hpqhn.jpg)
I wouldn't recommend any other of his solo offerings on Tresor, mind.

While out getting presents for others, I ended up with this for me:
(http://news.reggae-live.com/images/uploads/radiodread.jpg)
It's a reggae cover of OK Computer, Brilliant. Some tracks are better than others obviously, but Toots and the Mayals doing 'Let Down' is worth the cost alone.
-
can't actually imagine anything worse. radiohead doesn't need to be covered! let alone by bloody reggae!
-
Fair enough, it may well not be your thing, but the dismissal of 'bloody reggae' is an ignorant and foolish statement. You should give it a go - my other half is a radiohead fan, and not at all into reggae (though she deals better with the ska and dub end of things) but she loved it.
btw it's 'Toots and the Maytals', but anyone who's interested will probably already know that
-
I think Bubba recommended it a while back, along with the Dub Side of the Moon one.

Have just followed up my original suggestion to you and have done a search on soulseek (http://www.slsknet.org/).
In two minutes I've found three users sharing this very version (SaintAlvis, rciske21 and kleve2 all with different versions since the kbps encoding rate varies). Of course they may not be online when you get round to looking, so do a search on 'Rez' then filter the results on the keyword 'Underworld' and look for tracks that have Rez listed as track 7.
I'm guessing since your asking for it here that you aren't too bothered about getting an original in which case the above should suffice.
Next time you'll have to do the leg work yourself ;)

It appealed to me.

Am very keen on A Hawk And A Hacksaw at the moment http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Hawk_and_a_Hacksaw. The Way The Wind Blows album is particularly good.
The band mainly consists of percussionist Jeremy Barnes, who was previously the drummer for Neutral Milk Hotel, and violinist Heather Trost. The music is mostly instrumental with occasional unintelligible vocals, shouts and cheers. When playing live, he plays all of the instruments himself, simultaneously, often employing unconventional percussion methods such as striking a cymbal with a drumstick attached to his head, and wearing a hat covered in small bells.
Crazy good Balkan-electro-psychfolk tunes, with weird instruments and a multi-regional traditional european sound. That doesn't sound inspiring I know, but get amongst it, you will love.

detroit escalator company
Good choice, Sir. Sorry no site for you though.

Could somebody recommend some good introductions to DnB?
My apologies, I haven't been following this thread recently.
Hmmm. What sort of stuff would you like? Do you know any particular style you fancy? Dark? Mellow? Hard? Uplifting? Simple dancefloor? High tech? Would you like general compilations, or more specialised (and usually better albums)?
-
Well, once again you entice me with the prospect of dark ambient/dark DnB... Also some ravey stuff a bit like Pendulum - Slam!
-

Ooh dear, I don't think you're going to get any Pendulum recommendations off Fiend!
-
also came across a Biggie track i'd not heard before - 'party and bullshit'
bonjoy may have a particular affinity for the line "i got the tre duce, and the duce duce in my bubblegoose"
even the biggie smalls raps about geese.
-
Well, once again you entice me with the prospect of dark ambient/dark DnB... Also some ravey stuff a bit like Pendulum - Slam!
Okay as Ben said I'm unlikely to be recommending any pop music like Pendulum.
The closest that would be tolerable would be: Ed Rush & Optical - Chameleon (Virus) which is pretty ravey and OTT but still enough proper drum&bass elements.
But better, and purer, Blame - 720 Revolutions and Blame - The Turning Point (both 720 Degrees) are two fine CDs for fairly trancey and energetic dnb, the former being particularly good.
Also in the energetic vein, Various - Nu Generation (Infrared) is a high octane mix of slightly harder stuff still with a ravey feel.
For dark dnb, the gnarliest at the moment has to be Ohm Resistance - Forwards In Backwards Time (Ohm), which is proper industrial stuff, with a few great tracks on it.
Another good one is Nphect & Dizplay - Beautiful Bytes (Basswerk) which is consistent well produced dnb with a dark but hi-tech atmosphere. I find it a little samey though.
As a contrast, Fierce - Dominion (Quarantine) has a fairly dark atmosphere on the mix CD in particular, the music is somewhat smoother though.
For older stuff, Various/Manifest - Future Beats Vol 2 (Renegade Hardware) is hard to beat for harder beats, plenty of great tracks on there.
Also as a bridge between the darker sound and ravier sound, it is very well worth checking out Dieselboy - The Dungeonmasters Guide (Human) which is a classy compilation of very fine tracks, and Various - Highly Emotif (Emotif) which is a high octane ride through varying but relentlessly energetic dnb.
Most of these CDs are available at Juno, a few are on Amazon and a few you'll have to hunt around for.

Not as good as In The Aeroplane but On Avery Island is still very good

Hi,
Don't know if this has been already mentioned but recently I have been loving Sufjan Stevens' "Come on feel the Illinoise". I was actually recommended it by Amazon when buying Neutral Milk Hotel and thought what the heck live on the edge. Safe to say I have not been disappointed.
Anyway Sufjan Stevens is trying to create an album based on each American state. So far he's managed two in the space of the same number of years. Buy it, it's awesome especially if you do a little bit of research about the things he is singing about.

Couldn't agree more, 'tis a cracking album. I like to listen to it in the car on long journeys.
I've just got Boys and Girls in America by The Hold Steady, and it is slowly taking over my head space. Like a cross between Paul Westerberg/Replacements, Husker Du and Bruce Springsteen. I'd recommend it.

If dirty stinking bass is your thing then you need to check out Dillinja and Lemon D, of Valve recordings.
A couple of Londoners who own the largest sound system in the world at 120K watts!!
They played Manchesters Apollo Theatre on friday and it was awesome.
You aint heard DnB untill youve heard the valve sound system.

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent recommendations on this thread :thumbsup:. My current favorites are:
The blogariddims05 thing,
CPI - B-Girl set for the Decypher Cru (from one of the linked sites)
Bushby - Regular service (only listened through once so far though)
Mine to add to the list would be:
DJ Shadow - Outsider Mentioned lots on here already. Quite different from his other stuff, and(think someone else said this) doesn't really fit together as an album well, but has some good stuff on there.
Xen Cuts 2 disc collection. Only recently got hold of this but I love it.
Dj Nu Mark -Hands On Excellent funky hiphop, although I'm not too sure about the 'Rappers from around the world' bit near the end.
I also managed to dig out a load of old Mixmag cover cds, which I always thought were excellent. These are my favorites:
Sander Kleinenberg - Nice prog house ish mix
Steve Lawler Tribal house and filthy funk for great outdoors - Title says it all.
Trance n' Bass - Almost certainly too poppy for D n' B guys (fiend) but I'm probably on about my 50th listen
Plump Dj's - Don't remember the name but it was breakbeat. Sadly the Cd is long since dead and only a tape remains.
Thanks again, and keep them coming!

I mentioned this in the thread about partying in Frankfurt but I am so impressed it's getting mentioned in here too. You can listen to various sets of amazing techno by visiting http://www.robert-johnson.de/ and clicking on Programm.
Just choose a date and off you go! This club has decided to stop advertising who is playing because it's not about who's playing the music but simply the music. I think it's a great concept, and it only works because everyone who plays there is fucking excellent. So now you can just listen to what may be coming up at the club. Genius.
-
Have a wad point for the Robert Johnson link :) Have been listening to it whilst working for the last couple of hours.

Would quite like to swap some mix cd's/compilations with anyone of a techno state of mind. I have a few here I'm happy to send out.

Quality link.. and it reminds of a top story. I used to DJ on a pirate station in Sheff around '93/'94 on a Saturday afternoon and Monday evening in a pokey little 'studio' in Hyde Park flats. One sunny Saturday afternoon I'm playing some tunes and answering the phones when theres this banging at the door; I'm thinking we're getting raided and in waltzes Easy D totally off his tits & chewing his face off with two of his mates who've obviously been out all night and maybe two .. elbows me out of the way and announces it's a mutiny and he's taking over for the afternoon.. starts f'ing and blinding into the mic and queue's up full-on ragga gunshot jungle - brilliant...

I've just heard DnB then. That was an amazing rave. Subfocus was sick, Andy C was on fire and Dillinja was cranking it out phat style. Also Jumping Jack Frost was fucking brilliant, even though he was playing in mine, still had the crowd jumping!

I was unlucky enough to be sent to brighton on a business trip yesterday but as it transpired this coincided with the Bonnie Prince Billy gig also in Brighton. It was a really great gig. He played very strange versions of all the classics, and then the encore was the more traditional sound and ofcourse included the crowd favourite "I see a darkness". Once again, if you haven't heard Will Oldham then either buy it, download it, or go to one of his upcoming shows throughout europe (what's a carbon footprint?).
Also of note is R Kelly's Hip Hopera. I don't know if this has been mentioned before on this thread but I downloaded and listened to all 12 parts lastnight. How much coke and under age sex went into the making of that I have no idea but it was truly inspired in the most horrific yet funny way. It's available on oink or via itunes for those who care. The video to accompany it is also on youtube. Parts 1-5 can be found here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCXlCkY4Y5g). Part 6 can be found here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAIlhrE2CFg). Part 7 is here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKrPBk9Xk0U). along with part 8 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xrju0B86i7c), part 9 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SlQtE_j5GA), part 10 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oDqNgjDsuE), part 11 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moCkcGBwo-I), and part 12 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h11J1bJtabg). Perhaps this should also be posted in the video's thread... be warned. Watching all these will take approximately 40min of your life. It is easily worth it in my opinion.

New Fabriclive by Tayo. As could be expected, it's right up to Tayo's normal standard with plenty of sweet basslines and his trademark dubby sound. It includes the Bassbin Twins track "Woppa", which has a fuckin' awesome bassline (if you like that kind of thing).
I also got hold of Dave Clarke - Remixes and Rarities the other day. A good selection of his best remixes and a few obscure things. I like this a lot but then Dave Clarke can do little wrong in my eyes. I even think his remix of Zombie Nation's Kernkraft 400 is brilliant, but then again, I spent far too many nights off my face at Bugged Out when he was resident. Kinda scarred me for life.

New DNB!
Have been listening to:
Various - Juice Blender (http://www.chemical-records.co.uk/sc/servlet/Info?Track=CITRUSCD001)
Good pacey nu-skool neuro-funk tech-step. Not too hardcore, not too mashed up, but not too minimal, just straight up techy dnb. If you like stuff like Noisia, Teebee, C4C, new )E|B(, Calyx
etc, this is well recommended.
Various - DAT Music (http://www.chemical-records.co.uk/sc/servlet/Info?Track=SOULR024CD)
Interesting release on Marcus Intallex record label. Two CDs, the second is a fairly minimal and boring, but the first is well good. It's a mixture of smooth mellow tracks with harder hitting ones (which are a bit like the mellow ones with slight hint of Dillinja or Calyx mixed in!), but works well together, and all of them have a pretty phat and weighty sound. Again well recommended.

All you DNB heads already own Big Bud's excellent smooth rolling "Fear Of Flying" CD, right?? This is a remix CD of that album and is pretty topnotch stuff in similarly smooth and rolling way, but with the tracks suitably different to the original.
Now, a special offer for you lot. This is a pointless double CD with a mixed CD, and an unmixed CD which simply has two less tracks than the mix. I'm going to get it and keep the mixed CD, but I will happily give the unmixed version away to someone who wants it - and I need a volunteer for that. I'm guessing Andi or Ben might be interested but then again I might prefer to give it to someone who I didn't know was into DNB....

Cool offer Fiend, thanks for the shout but I reckon I'll head out to get the whole shebang as the mixed CD is what will really float my boat. I struggle to listen to unmixed DnB stuff, but would want to check out the mix. I've written it down and will get on the case to purchase.

Did someone say heavy dark DnB?? Really?? They did! Woot! ;D
For serious heaviness, you need in your life:
Leon Switch & Kryptic Minds - Black Out EP CDs (???) - just good dark shit, More Like You track is super-heavy.
Various/Manifest - Future Beats 02 (Renegade Hardware) - excellent comp on RH, top quality hard hitting tracks.
Various/Evol Intent - Us Against The World (Barcode) - RH's "heavier" sister label. Serious chopped up industrial style.
Ohm Resistance - Forwards In Backwards Time (Ohm) - As before, dark industrial gnarl-step.
Panacea - Low Profile Darkness / Twisted Designz / Position Chrome Retrospective (Position Chrome) - German uber-dark-step legend, much championed by John Peel. Top notch dark distorted industrial beats.
For slightly less heavy but still very good, you need:
Bad Company - Inside The Machine / Digital Nation - classic "intelligent" hard dnb.
Dom & Roland - Chronology - very well produced interesting cinematic techstep.
Various/Dieselboy - The Dungeonmasters Guide - mixture of heavy and uplifting tracks, top quality.
-
Ballistic dance-floor tech-step?? (http://www.juno.co.uk/playlists/builder/a38b5702c16e270727b6112b6d4b47f1.m3u) Ooooh yes please! (http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/258007-02.htm)
Never paid much attention to Gridlok before, but this looks to be a stormer, balancing out pacy jump-up squelchy wobbles with techy atmospheres and beats.
Again this comes with a pointless non-mix CD with the same tracks as the mix, which I'm quite likely to give away - anyone want it?? Still got the Big Bud mentioned in a previous post, haven't listened to both yet but once I do it's likely Andi will get it...

Monolith, I'm just listening to Alex Smoke - Paradolia on Soma recordings and thought of you. Borrowed it if someone last night and reckon it'd be up your street (if it ain't already there). Nice, laidback, silky beats. Reminiscent of some of Ritchie Hawtin's mellow stuff. Maybe.
-
Alex Smoke is indeed selecta Ben, good work lad. I have several compilations for you waiting to be burnt on my laptop. Will make a point of having them ready for next time I see you.
Also, do you know if there is a band called The Fuck? If there isn't, I'd like to take the title.
-
Can I be in your band Mono? I just want to join so that I get the chance to explain to my gran what the name of my band is.
-
:lol:
Of course you can Ben and so can your Nan.
-
Just to confirm to anyone who is interested (probably just me and Monolith then).
A (very) quick Google search brought up no hits for any bands called "The Fuck", but I did find a band called "The Fucking Band". God knows why I'm posting this since I searched whilst talking on the phone to Monolith, so he already knows and no one else is likely to give a toss. Guess who's trying to spend this wet Sunday morning studying for an assignment due in soon? Maybe I'll hoover the bathroom next. Then write a things to do list.
-
It's pretty unbelievable to think there has never been a band called The Fuck. I think the most likely scenario is that teenagers would typically choose this as a band name, but wouldn't actually call themselves The Fuck. They wouldn't be able to get a slot at the church fete, wouldn't be able to tell their gran, wouldn't be able to legally wear any of their merchandise...
The Fuck it is then.

And back off again...
John Peel (who I vote should be canonised) occasionally played tracks by a band called "Fuck". Earlier on in their Peel appearances he introduced them as "the band with the rudest name in the world". Later on as Radio 1 became more hip, edgy, incisive (and fucking boring), he was allowed to call them Fuck.
P.S. Hope you've been heeding those DnB recommendations I posted....been a bit dry until now.

After hearing them on John Peel I went out and actually bought the album! Shows how long ago that was... anyhow, they're not as bad as the name would suggest (if you believe that bands with egdy names are usually shit) and I might even be pushed to recommend some of their tracks!

Totally awesome D&B, I saw them at Global Gathering last year. Their album "Hold your colour" is fantastic.
Get it. Its strangely, sorta inspiring music. It is very very good.
shit, i've been listening to this for the last week. its well weapon. proper bouncy with rather cheesey melodies and ting, plus some good samples. bearing in mind i don't even like D&B this is a good album! i think this and appetite for destruction may be fighting for the title of my Tor phyche CD this summer. may the best man win.

There is a mixed CD by Pendulum floating around most record stores. Entitled Jungle Gold or something similar, it's a little less cheesy than the album but still has the same cheese-laden bounciness that you seem to have picked up on. High point of the mix is DJ Fresh - Submarines. If you like this, I can seriously recommend checking out the DnB suggestions on this thread. Fiend knows his shit and I've got or heard (and liked) much of what he has suggested. I sense that you are looking for hard and fast psyche music for the crag this summer.

Seconded- Jongle Gold (i think) has some proper good shit on it. I think it has some star wars things on the front.

Does anyone know what the original track is of this remix. I know it's the Beastie Boys but not very familiar with their catalogue. If you click on the video at the top of this page here (http://www.countbassd.com/v3/index.php) for the Count Bass D remix.

Hard to believe this one passed over my head before... This is not cheesey poppy DnB for people who don't like DnB - this is proper deep breakage DnB for the headz out there - soulful melodies, dubby basslines, well crafted complex breaks. Good style!
-
Yeah, that's phat. Nice and liquid for a bit of chillout.

Glad you've discovered the awesomeness of Pendulum. I've got a 40 minute breezeblock mix off Radio 1 on the MP3 player in the car at present, exactly what you need to get you keen!!!!!!! If I could figure a way of getting it for everyone to hear, you'd know what I mean :-\ :-\

PS. I just like to offer a hearty fuck you to all those that chose to party at TIME (gag!) in Bangor last Friday and not Hendre as you should have done. Two amazing DJ's from Berlin with some blinding underground sounds were there, yet the place was forced to close around 00:30 due to only a dozen paying customers in attendance! Which was an issue for me as I'd taken what is often refered to as a "heroic dose"... of everything.

Moving away from techno to my other love, I would like to recommend;
Papa M - Whatever, Mortal - This was actually recommended back in 2004 but in another thread. It needs re-recommending because it's really great. Featuring David Pajo and his guitar, some soft second vocals, second guitar, and some really honest lyrics. It's failry simple Pajo, not massive instrumentation, and this is what appeals to me. Simplicity is often correlated with honesty and goodness which is true in this case. Infact, Tolstoy put it best "There is no greatness where simplicity, goodness, and truth are absent". So, buy it, download it, enjoy it.
-
Those of you on the P2P beat, would you mind looking for a track called Swingin Smog by Smokers Delight? It's off the Sessions video, I cannot find it anywhere and would dearly love to have it.
Many thanks--

I downloaded (legally from eMusic) the new Early Years EP 'The Great Awakening' before I went on holiday and found it to be the perfect soundtrack for pre-surf psych and post-surf relaxation... Four quality varied tunes.
http://www.theearlyyears.org.uk/index.php?s=records
Props to Johnny Brown (who even owns a T-Shirt!), Si Panton and others for recommending the album on here last year - it's a real 'grower' and has soundtracked a trip to Ireland, numerous early morning and sunset drives through the peak, wales and scotland and many a late evening... :thumbsup:
-
I'm pretty sure everythnig I recommend gets ignored, but new stuff by Kieran Hebden (Four Tet) and Steve Reid is good listening. Bit experimental, so sometimes sounds a bit awkward, but often excellent.
-
Don't know about everybody else, but I'm loving Mark Ronson's new tune Stop me. Really good sound.
http://www.myspace.com/markronson (http://www.myspace.com/markronson)
-
I too am pretty sure that everything I recommend gets ignored (with the obvious exception pointed out by Falling Down), but here goes...
This week on my customary drive through the tunnels on the A55 to and from the Ormes I staged my very own Deftones revival with a rather dusty old copy of White Pony. Who the hell, my fellow car drivers might have thought, was that crazy long hair singing along at the top of his voice to songs that he clearly doesn't know the correct lyrics for? Well folks that was me, and in my mind I was stage diving backwards from a 2 hundred foot high speaker stack into the biggest mosh pit that ever existed (and no I didn't get dropped). And the music sounded so powerful and so perfect that I am still at a loss to understand why their subsequent eponymous release left me so cold?
Anybody got their head around Saturday Night Wrist yet? The reviews look promising, perhaps a return to form?
-
I wouldn't be so sure boys to think that people are ignoring your recommendations. I for one pay close attention to the opinions expressed herein...
With regards to the Deftones revival Si - I was a huge fan in their early days and still enjoy an infrequent good caning of White Pony and Around the Fur. (On a side-note, have you seen how big Chino Moreno is these days!? The man clearly has had a few too many cheesecakes).
I'd like to reiterate my love of Count Bass D. Anything by him is great as the man brings an educated, talented ear to hip hop. Please listen to him I beg you.

The cover version of the old Smiths song? A bit too close to the original to have any merit.
-
I really hate to be a The Smiths fanatic on here but it's called "Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before".
Stop Me oh ho ho Stop me :whistle:

Papa M
Uncle... Dave Pajo is doing small tour as PapaM in April and playing at Manchester Roadhouse on April 27th.. If I'm not working away I'll be going.
Also, Battles are playing at the Sheffield Corporation on 17th May, Manchester Academy on the 22nd, Leeds Uni on the 20th... and some other places I can't be arsed to list.
Chris/Pantontino - I've picked up more good music recomendations from here than anywhere else over the last few years.... you're not wasting your time.

Its a good job I like the band really, cos I'd wear the t-shirt anyway. Has a habit of hypnotizing music fans in pubs.
(http://www.zen59200.zen.co.uk/Adam/Galleries/teyshirt.jpg)
Great to hear that. Myself and The Baron managed to catch them on thier recent tour. Much as I like the recorded stuff, they are a live band really. Its all about the interminable drone-rock build-ups, I for one can't get enough, hopefully at some point they'll be big enough to play deeply indulgent 90 minute sets of only 5 songs. Looking forward to the next manchester date on the 7th of May. Whilst on the subject, its worth checking out the BBC sessions (download from band's site) 'The Simple Solution' is particularly good, closer to the live version than the album.
Ditto with the encouragement for reccomendations. I might not care for the techno or punk stuff but watch the folk/ americana like a hawk.
Don't know about everybody else, but I'm loving Mark Ronson's new tune Stop me.
Eh? Its dreadful, there aren't many records that make me change radio stations...

Ah Kraut Rock

I didn't know it was a cover, having never heard the original.
Still think its good, preordered his album.
-
Ah Kraut Rock
Do you mean, Ah, they're a kraut rock band?
Or, Ah Kraut Rock... I remember it well, the pulsing motorik beats, the drone of feedback, seventies prog rock meets german efficiency, the freeform vocals wailed out over the strict rhythms, Jaki Liebzit rebelling against his freeform jazz training and never altering the beat again, the twenty minute long songs, the impenetrable titles, the line-up changes, the cyclic waves builing to a slow-motion crescendo and taking me to pychedelic space-rock nirvana?
-
No and yes?
hmmmm

I hated Jamie T when i first heard it but it's so grown on me - listening to the album, Panic Prevention all the time at the moment.

New Kings of Leon on Monday. Eagerly anticipated by me, as I am not down with the downloading.

Your not wrong, awesome band. Have just about worn Aha Shake Heartbreak out listening to it!

Deftones revival part 2 tonight. Blasted Around the Fur out all the way to the crag. What an awesome slab of hardcore/metal that is - I was psyched out of my mind by the time I got there. Ticked a gnarly bugbear problem for the first time; I'm sure I was being powered by the residue of the music.
-
I was gutted deftones was £18.95 in Leeds, on my budget there was no chance of going to see them. I've heard rumours that there's rumours of them splitting up too, which could mean there's not much chance of them playing again... :'(
-
Deftones are fuckin ace. Saw them about a month ago in a park 10mins down the road from home. They
were awesome.
Heres a pic of the fat boy taken on my shitty cameraphone:
(http://farm1.static.flickr.com/125/405011750_74b37e81d5.jpg?v=0)
Not heard about them splitting up tho although there were 'issues' involved in the new album. Oh well, from one possible split to one reformation - Off to see the Pixies tonight. A friend of mine represents Frank Black so its VIP freebies all the way. Nice ;D 8)
-
Carnage, I'm jealous of your fancy gig-going lifestyle!
The Pixies - getting on a bit, but I'm sure they can still pull it off live. Surfer Rosa remains firmly stuck in my all-time-top-ten-greatest-albums list, and I doubt it'll ever be ousted.
-
The Pixies - getting on a bit, but I'm sure they can still pull it off live.
Yup, they've still got it. Turn up, tear through set, no talking, go home. In fact the last time I saw them they played Wave of Mutilation twice and no-one seemed to care!
I just get lucky - Its that time of year for us I guess.
I saw the Eagles of Death Metal last week too. Good dirty rock n' roll.
-
I hate it when bands reform. Outstaying your welcome first time around is bad enough, but reforming? What a total lack of imagination.
Slint, how could you?
As for the Pixies... I was in love with the covergirl on Surfa Rosa for years...
-
Renegade Hardware's Police State EP (http://www.myspace.com/policestateep), the best tune probably being Call To Arms.
-
Can;t see that going down so well with the Kraut Rock / indie punk massive, but obviously I endorse that recommendation....although I think I prefer FilthBath off it...

i think he's a cool guy. plan b on the other hand has started to grate a little. and i bought the skinnyman album around the same time, and that's got pretty irritating too...
-
Another vote for Chris Thile here...
he was in Nickel Creek, the new album 'how to grow a woman from the ground' is considerably less saccharine, in fact its well brown. If nothing else, check out the cover of The Strokes' Heart in a Cage. Dynamite.
Have also been listening to Neu! again. Exceptional.

DJ Kicks is probably my least favourite of the Artist/DJ Compilations, but that looks quite good.

You need this in your life. It's the latest Klute CD, it's got the ecstatic Hell Hath No Fury on it, a load of other good tracks, and a pretty neat 2nd CD of tech-housey stuff. Do it. (http://www.chemical-records.co.uk/sc/servlet/Info?Track=SUICIDECD007)

DJ Kicks is probably my least favourite of the Artist/DJ Compilations, but that looks quite good.
I'm kind of with you there Chris, but have you not heard the Daddy G mix from last year? Well worth checking out and leagues ahead of most of the DJ Kicks stuff.
And on a mixed CD tip, the new Solid Steel DJ Food and DK mix is pretty fuckin' brilliant. Probably the best Solid Steel mix I've heard and full of mix trickery, sampling and interesting stuff across the genres but generally hiphop, DnB (ish) and other good music that I can't describe because I'm a fuckwit.
-
Will checkit, I really like Now Listen.
While on the subject, what's the deal with Now Listen Again? Seems to have little in common with the original Now Listen regarding track listing.

Mark Ronson's album Version

You've gotta be in the mood I think, I played it to a mate tonight who loved it. I reckon you've been put off by the Smiths cover, I'm guessing your a Smiths fan? I've loved every track, really different and good, I guess thats the beauty of human opinion!

The Hot Chip - DJ Kicks tip off was alright, but a little dissapointing. There were some tracks that outshone the rest, and some that didn't belong at all in my opinion (eg. Marek Bois!). However, I didn't come hear to solely criticise, I offer you Grovesnor - Metrosexual. It's actually a spin off from hot chip which you'll no doubt realise in the first few seconds. To those who have the DJ Kicks Hot Chip album, this is the album from the artist who does the opening track, nitemoves! enjoy.

Hello. One for the soapy / Houdini clan, I suspect:
Can someone recommend me some good, fairly modern, Scandinavian-style bleak dancefloor techno CDs, please. In the vein of Hertz, Adam Beyer, Hardcell & Grindvik etc etc - you know the stuff. Something I can check out on Juno first would be ideal.
Ta!
-
dancefloor techno - you cheeky cunt :spank:
cd's wot i have loved of late:
trentemoller - the last resort
dj hell - misch masch vol 3
audion - suckfish

and:
surgeon's sets off the interwebs
a whole michael forshaw/lurinskys retrospective appreciation (his set was the BLINDER at bloc weekend)
and new:
modeselektor - boogybytes vol 3
-
Fans of Converge and Isis, Pelican (who were awesome the other day in Leeds) and the suchlike might like Supermachiner, Converge's ambient rock side-project.
-
I never thought this fellow would be able to recommend me any music:
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/df/Devvocap1.jpg)
However, it was when I was browsing fat-pie.com I noticed this:
The music is by Loom, and I'm pretty sure you can download his entire latest album for free here (http://www.fruits-of-loom.com). Definately recommeded for any fans of Boards Of Canada, Casino Vs Japan, Boom Bip etc.
Loom: nice and chilled, sounds good. Best thing though, it's free!

Although this is ruining my 1000 post count, this mix is too good not to share. It is absolutely nothing like what Houdini posted above. This is Jay Haze at his finest, a 2 hour set from Napoli, dated 30/03/2007. Download, unzip, turn up, play, enjoy.

Do you know about Dave Clarke Fiend? Had the joy of seeing him at Plug on friday night and as far as dark techno goes it was pretty damn good though not in the same bracket as Toumas Rantanen DJ sets that Houdini recommended.

Oooh nice one bb. Sounds like a worthy night. I have the World Service Vol1 CD, tis good classic stuff. He also did a great mix on Peely years ago.

Talking of which, theres a couple of good mixes from him at his website here (http://www.daveclarke.com/)
-
Two albums for y'all:
Klute - Emperor's New Clothes - Did Fiend already plug this? Anyway, nice liquid Dnb.
65daysofstatic - The Destruction of Small Ideas - Possibly the greatest most epic live band ever release their third album. Not as good as the first two and similar in style to the first one. Still worth getting though.

Just got these:

You technonauts need this in your life. Slow paced, deep, dark and groovy.
http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/148850-01.htm
And this too. Fast paced, upbeat, and groovy. On the party techno side but still "proper".
http://www.juno.co.uk/products/265748-01.htm
On the other hand when hard bleak Swedish dancefloor techno just isn't enough, you might need something harder, noisier, and bleaker...
http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/229551-01.htm
Okay that was probably a bit much so time to chillout with some downtempo melodic electronica.
http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/255460-01.htm
Suitably revitalised, it's time to head to the Far Far East for some varied, funky liquid drum'n'bass courtesy of the Hospital records camp.
http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/261779-02.htm
And finally, upping the drum and bass pace with a recent compilation from long standing tech-step label Renegade Hardware....it's choppy out there.

I've been slightly put off by the mixed reviews for the new Wilco album, but did some more digging tonight for alternative opinions and listened to an excellent track and decided to go for it. (At the end of the day I have faith in Tweedy).

Saw Battles again last week. We left early: it was a bad gig/venue/PA/everything and Battles knew too. We don't hold it against them. Next time...
gr - That's a mighty pile of mixes you got there! 8)
Enjoyed of late: Rodrigo y Gabriella - flamenco/rock (flamencock?) Pretty rippin' stuff. Chris Leibing Live @ Womb. 1st 80mins of laptop gig - quite restrained, groovy and compact for Leibing.
Not enjoyed of late: The Police reformation.

Nothing especially new, but currently digging Tunng - those of you liking folky electronica check out 'Surprise me', and M.Ward - acoustic singer-songwriter with a strong sound.
-
Hmmm, cool. Venetian Snares on sunday 8)
-
Is that the one with Dylan and Limewax? Could well be tempted, what's the score on it?
-
Yes indeed, Venetian Snares, Ceephax Acid Crew, Dylan and Limewax, in the warehourse in Leeds. £10 or so.
-
Hmmm, cool. Venetian Snares on sunday 8)
Top quality night. Bizarre music, lots of strange people, Ceephax Acid crew was amazing, Limewax was heavy as fuck, Dylan wasn't there but was replaced by Technical Itch, which was pretty good, although we left at that point to do battle with the taxi firms of Leeds...
-
Ahhhhhh lol I screwed that one up. It was this weekend. WTF? It's even on my fucking calendar and I still thought it was next weekend. Fucking genius. :spank: :spank: :spank:
What a tool :spank:
-
not exactly a fresh one, but...
today i had a nice training session with asiandubfoundation "rafi's revenge" playing.
what a great album, i like it so much. i think it must have been something like 6 or 7 years since last time i listened to that one.
cool.

Saw them on Later the other night and was completely blown away by how good this lot were. Obviously I'd heard the singles on 6 Music, but I was imagining some slick over produced NME type band. Anyway,they were amazing, and I've ordered this album on the strength of that performance. Wilco were also very cool on Later - the new album (mentioned previously) is probably more laid back than most folk might want from this band, but I'm loving it.
-
I can't help but post this. 4 hours of wonderful grooves, bleeps, bangs, melodies, and screams. Sometimes serious, sometimes fun, always good.
Ricardo and Richie at Mutek 2006 Part 1 (http://www.sendspace.com/file/6ozq3t) and Part 2 (http://www.megaupload.com/it/?d=UXAH3Y9M).

And now for something rather different...
After a very long break from buying any dark ambient -style music, I have just had a blitz on the Coldspring Summer Sale:
http://www.coldspring.co.uk/mail_order/summer%20sale.php
And after much MP3 sample perusal have ordered the following:
ATRIUM CARCERI - 'Ptahil' CD (Cold Meat Industry)
COLD FUSION - 'Simmetria' CD (War Office Propaganda)
CORDELL KLIER - 'Winter' CD (Ad Noiseam)
GRIMBERGEN - 'A Lonely Place' CD (Steinklang)
HAVEN - 'Naos' CD (War Office Propaganda)
NEVER PRESENCE FOREVER - 'Disturbed Visceral Nociception' CD (Crionic Mind)
NOS - 'Not Otherwise Specified' CD (Manifold)
TAMÁS KÁTAI - 'Erika Szobája' CD (Ars Benevola Mater)
VIROLOGIC - 'Bugged' 3" MCD (Power & Steel)
A fine blend of dark ambient, ethereal dronecore, neo-classical, data ambient and ritual glitch-hop. Grimbergen wasn't in the sale but the sample sounded great.
*awaits passing tumbleweed *

Brilliant. Did you just make that up?
-
Maaaaaaaybeeeee ::)
They are accurate descriptions though!
-
No, I'm glad you made them up. I'm a bit of a fan of stupid, bizarre or just plain bonkers genre names. Current favourites are neo detroit, screamo, grindie and emo tech. As well as my all time favourite: comedy big beat (eg Bentley Rhythm Ace).
(Note that I don't mean that they are amongst my favourite types of music, just that I love the names that people have contrived to describe what is essentially just a load of noise. Honest).

Over three hours of techno from Wunsch, Mark Broom and Steve Bicknell :)

I'm enjoying And Their Refinement Of The Decline by Stars of the Lid at the moment. Anyone else like it?
-
Not heard it but if it's anywhere near as good as the other albums it'll be cool. Do they still have depressing song titles?

Following the parties that have already passed this week and the ones that are to come, I am inspired by the techno still fuelling my body. Lastnight's line up was Magda, Gaiser, Audion, Richie. This went on until 7:30 and was very very good fun. Here are some pictures;

The venue is amazing, and I recommend everyone go and party.
But, on to the more important bit, here are the sets from lastnight;
Magda (http://rapidshare.com/files/43711003/magda_live-at-10days_off_belgium_18.07.2007.mp3)

Enjoy, and we're off for more partying.

Liking the balcony vibe there...
-
Uncle, that looks brilliant. I am jealous.
-
Keith you bitch. I wish I would have been there. Can't see the photos on the PC I'm on at the moment but I have a feeling they will consist images of you killing it in your vest and shades combo. Look forward to checking out the sets later.
-
And the final set from the night;
Gaiser (http://rapidshare.com/files/43739774/gaiser_live-at-10days_off_belgium_18.07.2007.mp3)
This set is great. Better than the Audion or Magda set. :dance1:

GAISER. Thats truly amazing set. Play it loud.
PS. maybe we need separate techno lovers tread?!

I don't think so, Martin Luther King Jnr said it best;
Men often hate each other because they fear each other; they fear each other
because they don’t know each other; they don’t know each other because they
cannot communicate; they cannot communicate because they are separated.
-
Wise words, from wise man. No wonder that they kill him.

Men often hate each other because they fear each other; they fear each other
because they don’t know each other; they don’t know each other because they

I'd never heard that quote before - so very true tho.
Damn rapidshare only let's you download 1 file every 3 hours or so :(
I'm pleased that so many ppl on here like techno, but don't be shy to post *any* type of music - diversity is good.

Well, I've been listening to the TAMÁS KÁTAI - 'Erika Szobája' CD that I ordered a while back and it is not techno but it is excellent. Hungarian classical / folk / cinematic piano music. Very nice indeed so far.

Hiphop/reggae/dancehall/breaks merchants The Nextmen have a new album floating around. This Was Supposed To Be The Future came out a month or so ago but I don't think it has had a shout on here yet. So here is a shout for it... www.thenextmen.com (http://www.thenextmen.com) and has a free download of "Knowledge be Born".
Vocals come from Sway, LSK, Dynamite MC etc and it includes the rather lovely dancehall-ish "Blood Fire". Worth checking if you like your hiphop mellow and want something that isn't too raw.
-
Today, I'll be mostly listening to No Sleep Til Hammersmith by Motorhead. It's not new, or funky, but wtf, they were at one time the loudest band on Earth.

Here's my latest blast from the past, the pinnacle of left field indie rock in the early 90s: My Bloody Valentine: Loveless
Just the most powerful head swooning and emotional sound I can imagine. I glass over every time I listen to this record.
I was really into the first album Isn't Anything when it came out in 88, but had drifted away from indie music by the time Loveless arrived in 91. I subsequently re-discovered it and was completely blown away by it. A truly remarkable piece of music.
here's one track of it:

(TecHaters: if it is so offensive, why don't you counter, redress the balance, recommend something we haven't heard before? Bring it on.)
I don't think they're hating the techno, I think they're just scared...
This is like the first time that my tastes have been socially acceptable and fit in with the masses....it's quite weird....like if I post something about a wicked new Adam Beyer CD, people will not only understand what I'm on about, not only tolerate that music, but might even like it too....*sniff*...I love you guysh :'(

Here's my latest blast from the past, the pinnacle of left field indie rock in the early 90s: My Bloody Valentine: Loveless
A great album and when it was being recorded it so nearly broke the bank for Creation - they ended up putting so much money into it that they couldn't stop. In a strange way I sometimes wish they had as then we would never have heard of Oasis...

I've realised that I love camp music. You know, that type of Caribbean vibe that Lionel Richie was laying down in the 80s, Olivia Newton John's 'Physical' etc.

Wham - Club Tropicana
Kid Creole and the Coconuts
Toto Coelo (?)
Belle Stars
Billy Ocean - Carribean Queen

Monolith, it looks like we have killed this thread by mentioning possibly some of the uncoolest music in recent history.
-
Either way, you've got me psyched Chris! My life has never been so good.

I've realised that I love camp music.
Cooler but still very camp - you can't go wrong with anything by Arthur Russell writer/producer of some fantastic electro/disco tunes.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Russell_(cellist) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Russell_(cellist))
Stuff like 'Is it all over my face', 'Go Bang' are absolutely brilliant.
You can't go wrong with Larry Levans Paradise Garage LP/CD compilation for a perfect set of camp disco IMHO.
-
Either way, you've got me psyched Chris! My life has never been so good.
Just a random blast from the past memory came to me; Early Bananarama and Fun Boy Three may be what you are looking for too.

I came across this mp3 a few weeks ago and loved it -
http://www.matadorrecords.com/mpeg/the_cave_singers/cave_singers_seeds.mp3
A song that requires only a few moments before sweeping you away . Vocals on the track jump out in the manner of early Dylan, with the perfect blend of acoustic instruments and electric guitar. There’s also some horns that comes out on the latter half of the song that is to die for.

All you DNB heads already own Big Bud's excellent smooth rolling "Fear Of Flying" CD, right?? This is a remix CD of that album and is pretty topnotch stuff in similarly smooth and rolling way, but with the tracks suitably different to the original.
Now, a special offer for you lot. This is a pointless double CD with a mixed CD, and an unmixed CD which simply has two less tracks than the mix. I'm going to get it and keep the mixed CD, but I will happily give the unmixed version away to someone who wants it - and I need a volunteer for that. I'm guessing Andi or Ben might be interested but then again I might prefer to give it to someone who I didn't know was into DNB....
OK, just got around to this, it's fucking awesome. Cheers to fiend for bringing that in the car. Nuff niggas just wanna know...

I have just seen Ivan Smagghe at Space in Ibiza. He was good, but not a patch on Mills, who was incredible. The following evening was Sven and Richie at Cocoon.

omg, i bet Mills on that soundsystem was amazing :) :)
Good to see more techno bods on the Island.

what with talk of gig tickets at £150 - £800...
went to the Kid Acne album launch last night. it was free. it was outdoors on a warm night. we were handed a copy of the new album (CD and Vinyl - pro liggers!) and some stickers in return for an email address.
we drank 1919 rum and slam danced / bodypopped in our hoodies until thoroughly baked.
:bounce: :pissed:
brilliant night. props to Lex Records and The Shakespeare Pub and Kid Acne and a nice crowd for a FREE gig to remember!
please check out the myspace page and in particular the track - oh no you didn't

Snippet taken from the pitchfork review;
"I'll admit that it's a concept that it's not exactly easy to get one's head around, but the end product is so appealing, so immersive, so gratifying, so stimulating in all of your pleasure centers-- in other words, it's not at all unlike dancing to one of Villalobos' own DJ sets, with the stipulation that you're being treated to that rarest of rarities, a DJ set composed only of the artist's own material, which were you in attendance in the club that night, would surely blow your puny, raving mind-- that I'm willing to give him, and it, the benefit of the doubt. What, after all, is an album any more? Nobody seems to know; the only thing clear is that it's not as easy to sell as a ringtone. Villalobos gives us something better: an experience."
There are definitely some very good tracks on this. It's quite an interesting album actually in that it seems to go to different places whilst always moving in the same direction. I would suggest you seek out a copy.
-
God Pitchfork are so up it sometimes, but I'll download that anyway :)
-
Had a listen through Fabric 36 - I like the last half when it starts to get a bit more interesting, but i found the first half a bit too bleepy and ploddy. I'm not a big fan of some of the more bleepy minimal techno that's around of late, though i'm not denying it's quality.
-
Today i've been liking:
(http://dilletanten.unkunst.ch/shop-gallery/picture2/tunnggoodarrowszn5.jpg)
Tunng - Good Arrows (Full Time Hobby)
Quality Folk + == me like :)
Bleep description: Tunng’s best album yet. Rattling, electronic folk-styled songs with a creepy undercurrent of League of Gentlemen/Monty Python-esque very British humour, and a seductive level of production and songwriting that lulls you in. A country mile away from the ‘Scarborough Fair’ whimsy of other nu-folk peddlers.

Just heard Mission of Burma on 6 music, and I just had to flag this band up for all you discerning lovers of angst ridden guitar rock. This was seminal stuff back in the early 80s and it still sounds strong today (at least to my ears).
Here's some Youtube links. Try and ignore the dodgy films and just listen. There is also an amped up Moby cover version with a better attempt at a visual accompaniment - I like the bit at the end when he stops running because he gets a stitch.

I've just got into Dreadzone - Second Light is the album i've been listening to. Dub is actually a lot better than I thought.

Check out Fat Freddy's Drop. Nice, but album gets a bit samey.

Holy crap almost 10 posts since a techno recommendation!
Okay check this one out: Hardfloor - The Life We Choose (http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/280352-01.htm). Hadn't really heard much Hardfloor but this is pretty sweet stuff, mid-paced techno on the bleepy / groovy acid tip. Definitely more :dance1: than :wall:
-
It's ok - i've got a soft spot for hardfloor after Acperience nearly blew my poor little marbles on the sound system in the Space back room, but they've not really progressed a great deal in the last 14 years :)
-
Ok just finished my board now need music, recommend me some drum and base to get cranking too :bounce:
-
Bubs: Fair enough, having not heard them before it sounds good to me.
Moo: Well hello! How about a selection from the last year or so:
Seba & Paradox - Beats Me (top quality deep dubby breakage style)
Big Bud - Fear Of Flying Remix Project (smooth bassy rolling dnb, very good)
Klute - Emperor's New Clothes (classic liquid / intelligent dancefloor stuff, plus bonus techno cd)
Fierce presents - Dominion (high quality semi-minimal rolling tech-step)
Calyx & Teebee - Anatomy (squelchy catchy tech-funk style)
Various - Juice Blender (hi energy dancefloor tech-step)
Nphect & Dizplay - Beautiful Bytes (heavy atmospheric tech-step)
The Disciple - Good Fortune & The 12th Dynasty Of Mashed Up Reggae Jungle (serious rudebwoy breakbeat junglecore)
Go go go!
-
Bubs: Fair enough, having not heard them before it sounds good to me.
They're quality right enough - I recommend you get a copy of Acperience though, great tune :)
-
cheers fiend thats plenty to be going on with i'll get mix master chapman to knock me up a couple of cd's of jacking beats too :thumbsup:
-
Also worth getting hold of is Endangered Species EP1, Commix - Call to Mind and the classic Calyx - No Turning Back.
Also, get this on the DL and dance like a mofo:

Unclesomebody - I bought the Ricard Villaboos Fabric 36. Very nice... 8) not what I expected really.
Fiend - Top recommendation on the Big Bud album. *** (three stars) :dance1:
-
Cool. His original Fear Of Flying is well worth getting too.
-
Anybody in to RJD2, I would recommend trying to get hold of the Constant Elevation: The 'Say Word ' Mix. Its pretty hard to get hold of but worth it!
Funny you should mention that I've only just found RJD2 from the music on some climbing vid, and that's what I've got on right now! Must admit, I didn't buy it though... t'interweb is such a wonderful thing!
-
Cool. His original Fear Of Flying is well worth getting too.
Not mentioning Form & Function vol.2?

He's a DC10 resident isn't he? have to catch him next summer :)
-
Cool. His original Fear Of Flying is well worth getting too.
I will go find.... I have a couple of early 12"s that Big Bud did around the time of the Good Looking/Logical Progression time that are really good too.
BTW in the same package as the Big Bud and Ricardo Villaboos I also got the Fabric mix by Hype and Andy C from a couple of years back - I've always loved ragga jungle and this is ace :great:
-

Seen Andy C a few times the best being at The Que Club in Birmingham in '99. Fucking awesome. 8)
-
There's no doubting Andy C's talent on the ones and twos (and threes in most cases) but I hate hype and his "hype specials" i.e. some samples overlain saying "HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE!" DJ HYPE" :wank:
-
It may have been mentioned on this thread already, but I'm not going to flick through 40 odd pages on my blackberry to find out - so apologies.
UNKLE - WAR STORIES.
Very good. Rocky/dancey + seriously catchy. It's sunk it's teeth in my ears now and just won't let go. Ian Astbury IS a god. Burn my Shadow is a top track. So there you go. Enjoy.
-
Studio - West Coast
Nu Swede Balearic Punk Pop would be one way of putting it. Very fucking good would be another. My top recommendation of the week...

Much like Ben Sims' Theory of Interpretation CD.

Sims mixing his own remixes. Truly killer.
I'm so behind on this thread it's untrue, thanks to all posting mixes, free music rocks!
-
Have a listen to underworlds new one - oblivion with bells. Its good.
Rastata - your last two have been fantastic. Good find.
-
listening to caribou - andorra a lot.
Me too. I was at first not sure, as it didn't grab me like "Milk of ......." but it has really grown on me. Definitely worth seeing live, redefine the word "multitask".
Likewise the UNKLE album is a grower too.
New Foos is very much by the numbers, but still good. Seeing them live next month.
-
Do you mean the Crocodile EP dobbin? That's fantastic.
-
Aye, RASTATA has good taste. Frau Kitten on now 8) Shall get to see her do her thing next month 8)

Last few techno links have been really good! Thanks very much guys! Rekindled my interest in techno. Interesting to see many of the same names from a few years ago still up there.

:agree: it is and always will be the definitive thrash album. The drumming is amazing. I may have to go and dig all the old CD's out of the loft and give them a fresh airing after all these years.

Shellac - Steady As She Goes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WpdNOPDBro&mode=related&search=transformers%20predaking%20skylynx%20quintessan%20zeni%20geva) From their recent Excellent Italian Greyhound LP
-
Never was a big fan of Slayer despite their status.
Can I propose Pantera's Cowboys From Hell as the best thrash album in the world ever by some way, please??
-
It was good, I'll give you that. Not as good as Slayer IMHO
-
Picked up a copy of Manitoba's second album Up in Flames at lunch time for a few squid and am quite enjoying it. Its in a similar vein to some of Four Tet's stuff, so if you like that you'll probably get on okay with this...
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/311nSr1nc7L._SS400_.jpg)
On the thrash front...
Cowboy's From Hell was a class album (as was Vulgar and Far Beyond), but I always felt that Pantera were a bit slow in places, for example Walk off of Vulgar whilst a nice heavy grinding tune was just a bit slow.
Besides, Pantera loose points in the thrash band steaks for starting off as a glam band....
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/bf/Panterapowermetal.PNG)
(Phil Anselmo is the second from left!!!)
I think its been mentioned in this thread somewhere already, but checkout Down (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Down_%28band%29) for some seriously heavy/funky shit.
-
It's been a while, but I have just found this mix and think it's rather good.
Italoboyz - Kama Kama (http://rapidshare.com/files/61112549/Italoboyz_Kama_kama_6.10.07.mp3.html)
even includes a cooking lesson in Swedish.
-
May have been mentioned before but there is a new Surgeon set called Neck Face ready and waiting to be downloaded at www.dj-surgeon.com - got it on at the minute and it sounds reet good! 8)

-
the new radiohead album is actually quite good. avoids the mediocrity of some of the recent albums.
in terms of the 'pay what you think it's worth' thing - surely you can only do that after listening to it?
-
The new Kanye album is very poor IMO. I thought Late Registration was worse than College Dropout, and this one is worse still - it's even got Chris Martin on ruining a song that was actually quite good originally, Home.
-
has anyone mentioned klute / the emperor's new clothes?
if not it's very good. i find a late night drive back from london provides a challenging and worthwhile test for bleepy music.
the mwaap mwaap factor was admirably high, and the volume went up and up as i ploughed southwards. and i don't think i skipped any tracks, which might be a first.
-
Done years ago... ;D
on the 26th October I have to choose between Klute/Lomax or Calyx/Fierce... Bugger.
-
Studio - West Coast
Nu Swede Balearic Punk Pop would be one way of putting it. Very fucking good would be another. My top recommendation of the week...
UKB strikes again.... thanks Yoss I am liking this very much. Shame it didn't come out in June it as it would have been nice lounging in the sun with cold beer after a dip in the sea.
-
it's so good isn't it? a real mixture of stuff...
-
OK. I've plugged nEiL_M_ (Neil Mallory) on here before, this is the last time I shall do so, those interested may wish to visit Digital Distortions (http://www.digital-disportions.co.uk) and keep themselves informed.
nEiL_M_ - Dead Without Lies (http://www.digital-distortions.co.uk/limetree/mixes/nEiL_M_-_Dead_Without_Lies.mp3). Close to two hours of electronic brilliance, this could be the best mix I've heard. A slow burner: takes some time to get going, nothing is rushed.
Perfect for when everyone in the house is fast-on, and it's just you left with The Nightshift.
-
Make that... (http://www.digital-distortions.co.uk)
-
Nothing funky on this one but still fresh nevertheless...
Gettin Gone - MV/EE
Matt Valetine and Erika Elder (MV/EE) have ploughed their own furrow through the Americana/psychadelic/frontier folk underground for the last decade with a huge number of very limited CD-R's and vinyl on their Child Of the Microtones imprint. This new album on Thurston Moores Ecstatic Peace label sees them almost striking out into electric rock territory with J Mascis supplying electric guitar and John Moloney of Sunburned Hand of the Man on drums. Mighty fine indeed...
-
The new Kanye album is very poor IMO. I thought Late Registration was worse than College Dropout, and this one is worse still - it's even got Chris Martin on ruining a song that was actually quite good originally, Home.

Yeah it is good. I downloaded it on Friday night and have given it a couple of airings but I was a bit p*ssed at the time so I can't pass judgement apart from that I would still like to bed her.

Funnily enough you may have mentioned this before. Will check it out.

I have indeed. She was good mates with a friend of mine years back, way before Moloko and one night she got me very pissed on her Dads own brewed poitn and I fell in love with her then and have held a soft spot for her ever since :-[

SHEFFIELD has long since had a soft spot for the talents of Roisin Murphy.Ever since she came up with the classic chat-up line: "Do you like my tight sweater?" to bassist and producer Mark Brydon at a Sheffield party - a connection was forged between the idiosyncratic Irish born artist and the city of steel.
Genius. Always thought that was a brilliant name for an album.
-
Ian Browns new album has some good moments - Illegal Attacks being pretty special, and my candidate for best line of a song for years!
-
I have always liked Ian Brown, but was disappointed in Solarized so was holding back on getting this. Might need a listen or two.

Just had a quick listen through this and confirm that it's quality - much more dance oriented than her last album but her voice still shines throughout.
And I agree that she is hot as hell

Yet again I wish I had time to leaf through 87 pages of no doubt excellent recommendations but still, I've neither time nor money.
It's been out ages now (show's you how with it I am) but I just wondered if anyone else had heard, or like me had -ahem- `accidentally' bought Shock Value by Timbaland? For the record I'm listening to it and like bits of it.
Those people open minded enough to think that all popular music and all RnB is crap needn't worry themselves. But it's pretty diverse so I'd be surprised if many people genuinely disliked all of it. In which case you could just give it to some lucky young relative for Christmas (those shock protected sticers stick back on surprisingly well).
If you liked any of the singles, Nelly Furtado, and/or quality `gangsta' raps featuring the words "I'm the motha' fucking man", "N*gger" and "clip" etc. then there should be something you like on it. Thankfully for me Justin Timberlake isn't on it too much and mercifully Elton John keeps schtum and only plays his Piano on it, and only on one track.

I have seen Battles twice. 1st time blew me away. 2nd time we left early: shite PA etc..
Fantastic band.
Drummer is one John Stainer (ex-Helmet) almost as good as Rey Washam, but not quite that good. Other members are ex-Don Caballero, an amazing band graced with the drumming of the octopus-armed Damon Che. Damon Che, solo, on a bad day, is still way better that the entire rock output of France and Germany combined.
To recap:
Great post-post rock band from excellent breeding stock.

Andy - They played Liverpool last month (or the one before). I'll be sure to tell you if I hear they're back in town again mate.

Let me assure you Herr Popp this thread IS about TECHNO! Today is New Skool Swede Day:
GROVSKOPA - Live PA @ Audio Assault 5 years, Rotterdam june 07 (http://www.psnz.net/arhiva/Grovskopa%20Live%20PA%20Audio%20@%20Assault%205%20years%20(Rotterdam,%20Holland)%202jun2007.zip)
Blinding. Haven't stopped listening to this in days. Enjoy!
-
I meant to say JUST about ...
Had a chance to see Battles at a festival in the summer, saw someone else instead ...
-
Everything is welcome here :)
I've been surprised by the amount of techno on here tbh, I thought i was in a real minority as a techno lover.

....we'll reach for the sky!
No valley to deep. No mountain too high.
No no limits, we'll reach for the sky,
we do what we want and we do it with pride.
Lemme hear ya say yeah! (wow!)
Hard to the core, I feel the floor.
When I'm on stage, yo, ya answer more.
I'm on the edge, I know the ledge,
I work real hard to collect my cash!
Tick tick ticka tick take your time,
when I'm goin' I'm goin' for mine.
Open your ears and you will hear it.
I tell you this 'cause there's no limit!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no ,no ,no, no, no, no there's no limit!
Ow! Hey yay yeah hey hey!
Now, now, hey yeah yeh hey hey! Hoo!
No limits allowed, cause there's much crowd,
microphone check as I choose my route.
I'm playing on the road; I've got no fear,
the south from my mouth is on record here.
There never will be no mountain too high.
Reach the top, touch the sky!
They tried to diss me cause I sell out...
I'm making techno and I am proud!
-
2 Unlimited makes me cry :'(
-
You can listen to some samples here[/url]
Yes quite smooth.
They are 1.60 say a quid each track. That's a lot for a whole bunch of binary. No sales staff / shop to hire etc.. that's pricey isn't it?
An album costs a tenner say, mp3 same. Wtf? Crazy, non?

Saw him do his thing for the first time couple of weeks back and was well impressed with his blend of new wave tech that I found myself dancing long long after the drugs had worn off. I can also vouch for the fact that he has lost the mullet.
And in the spirit of sharing, and to spam this joint with even more techno may I recommend madam peruse -

Not new, but I've bunged a copy of DJ Hell Essential Mix 18th December 2005 (http://slack.ser.man.ac.uk/files/01-dj_hell-essential_mix-sat-12-18-2005.mp3) up for you, damn good set it is too.
There some more techno from Adam Beyer Essential Mix 10th December 2006 (http://slack.ser.man.ac.uk/files/Adam%20Beyer%2010-12-2006.mp3) and a bit of D'n'B in the form of an old set from Pendulum @ Drum'n'Bass Arena (September 2003) (http://slack.ser.man.ac.uk/files/Pendulum%20-%20Drum'n'Bass%20Arena%20September%202003.mp3) for those interested.

I can get "DJ Hell - Gigolo Rockdelux Mix (2007-MP3-224) from what.cd if the pro riaa hackers ever stop terrorising the place.
-
Oooh and that Sentinel Detroit mix is great Houdini - I just love those Detroit classics :)
edit: he just did a really dodgy spinback :lol:
-
Just listened to the (2006) remastered version of the Aphex Twin classic Selected Ambient Works 85-92 - quality!
-
anyone into the 'burial' stuff? - 'untrue' is classic
-
anyone into the 'burial' stuff? - 'untrue' is classic
they were banging on about burial in music monthly yesterday. must check it out.
am loving Baliky Bone by Hypnotic Brass Ensemble (http://www.myspace.com/hypnoticbusiness) at moment. super.
-
Just got Untrue but not given it a full listen yet. Interesting stuff though.
-
Burial is to dubstep as pendulum are to drum and bass :thumbsdown:
-
Right bollox to all this techno nonsense. Time for some real music i.e. drum and bass :whistle:
After a rather long dry period with little of interest coming out there has been a veritable deluge in the last few weeks, especially on the funky dancefloor / soulful ambient styleee rather than kill your granny techstep gnarlcore.
Personal recommendations:
Photek - Form & Function 2 (Photek) (http://www.juno.co.uk/products/281977-02.htm) - mentioned before but a top-notch and well varied artist album, everything from abstract techy stuff to mega-anthems
Ant Miles - Visitations (Liftin Spirit) (http://www.juno.co.uk/products/288077-01.htm) - bounce around your living room style dancefloor stuff with the odd techy bit.
Various - Zenith (Quarantine) (http://www.juno.co.uk/products/287977-01.htm) - deep minimal techy rollers, one for those who like deep bass exploration.
Kasra / Various - All Sounds Electric (Critical) (http://www.juno.co.uk/products/288466-01.htm) - good range of mellow and funky dancefloor stuff.
Muffler - The Sighco Show (Sigh Co) (http://www.chemical-records.co.uk/sc/servlet/Info?Track=SIGHCOCD001) - artist album from Finlands finest, big dancefloor anthem stuff but staying just the right side of cheesiness.
Rinseooooot selecta!
-
Burial is to dubstep as pendulum are to drum and bass :thumbsdown:
Quite probably, I wouldn't know really - most of the stuff i've heard that's labelled as Dubstep has left me totally cold....but then that's mainly listening to Mary Anne Hobbs and i don't know if she plays proper stuff or not.
-
Photek - Form & Function 2 (Photek) (http://www.juno.co.uk/products/281977-02.htm) - mentioned before but a top-notch and well varied artist album, everything from abstract techy stuff to mega-anthems
Think i'll give this a listen - i loved Modus Operandi from years ago

WARNING! It's a helluvalot heavier ;D
-
Good! I prefer hard D&B :)
Is Pendulum even D&B btw?
-
Technically, in terms of BPM and breaks, yes. In all other terms, it's just the new indie.
-
Yeah Bubbs, nu-skool Photek is way different to old-skool Photek, a lot less of the minimal abstractness and a lot more hard-hitting stuff mixed in with the odd funky dancefloor thing. It's good though.
Not been much on the harder DnB tip recently, although Teebee & Calyx - Anatomy is good squelchy tech-step funk, and The Horsemen - Revelations is pretty tearing techy stuff. But you'd be better off picking up some classics from yesteryear (I probably mentioned some somewhere in the last 87 pages...).
-
Churz re Hell brurz. All welcome.
That EssMix is some dirty boxhead-kse. Chicks love this shit. 8)
-
Burial is to dubstep as pendulum are to drum and bass :thumbsdown:
Hmmmm... I don't agree with you there Andi. Burial are the Dubstep equivalent of Rhythm and Sound - soaked in reverb and hiss... quality stuff like. They aren't far from old 'Form and Function' Photek either IMHO...
Bubbs - the Dubstep All Stars collections are pretty good. I have 3 (Kode 9) and 4 (Hatcha and Youngsta) and they are good driving/chilling music.
-
Yeah, maybe I did over-exaggerate quite a lot. Burial's stuff isn't that bad actually, more electronic than dubstep IMHO. Mind you, dubstep's ok but I just find it a bit too dirty for when i'm tired and too dull for when I want a good night out. Not that going to a dubstep night would be a bad night for me, I quite enjoy some proper skankin'...
-
I quite enjoy some proper skankin'...
Urg!
-
:-\
Anyway, there's only one good Dubstep producer: Tech Itch
-
Some good recommendations earlier Fiend. As for things from yesteryear try some of the recent Metalheadz (vinyl) represses: Alex Reece-Basic Principles or Optical-Shape the Future anyone? If you don't have decks then buy some and frame them as art!
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Retro-Vinyl-Record-Album-Picture/dp/B000PTIKXU/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1194972719&sr=8-1
Think this is from a couple of months back but it's absolutely great. Soulful drum and bass with a bizarre tamla motown type half time breakdown thingy... (does any of that actually make sense?).
http://www.redeyerecords.co.uk/asp/search.asp?keywords=hot+lick+squeeze&recor=1&SearchFor=exact
Anything Mutt does is well worth seeking out. Also the Good Looking Records saga continues, let's sign up loads of great tracks and not release them to the public for years! :wank:
All kinds of good things waiting to come out on that label from Makoto, Marky and Furney all great soulful producers if you're into that, just don't hold your breath....
-
Now then, someone else who knows about things! GLR never release much nowadays, seemingly, it's all about the Dispatch/Horizons/Subtitles tunes...
-
I need to check out more from those labels for sure, been getting back into that kind of music recently. My Drum and bass knowledge today is a a bit patchy due to growing up and work etc, but 10 years ago it was a different story! Do you reckon Hospital records have had their day then Andy? Logistics is always good but he will never ever top "Together" from a couple of years ago (maybe with "Together VIP" though....). Dubstep has totally passed me by I am sure there's good stuff out there...
-
Hospital stuff is getting a bit boring now. Logistics' tunes are still as good as ever but I just get the feeling that Hospital records are gonna end up in the same place as Pendulum. The other day, High Contrast kept dropping non-DnB tunes (more like electro tunes) like Simian - We are your Friends - :wank:
I reckon Together VIP is better than Together but still not his best work - Look out for Blue Sonix - Luv Me (Logistics remix).
-
Anyway, back to the Heavy (http://www.dogsonacid.com/showthread.php?threadid=512337)
This mix is top notch. If you like dark DnB, this is essential! Brutal tearing beats and nu-skool gabber influences make it an insane 45 mins.
-
That's good but a little scary - not sure i'd like to be in a club with that going on :lol: Shame it's only 128kbps too.
-
Really liking this at the moment

The Flashbulb - Flexing Habitual (Sublight)
You can hear some clips here (http://www.boomkat.com/item.cfm?id=33646).
It's a mini-album/EP of 10 short but lovely tracks. IDM/Breakcore with crazy beats and lush interludes.

Thanks Fiend - am also grabbing his earlier "Kirlian Selections" now which is in a similar vein but is a full album.
Another couple that arrived overnight is:

Carl Craig : From The Vault - Planet E Classics Collection Vol. 1 (Planet E)
This is a Japanese release of classics from the smooth Detroit-meister himself, either his own work, stuff released under other guises and collaborations. As always, this is melodic Detroit Techno of the highest quality - lovely.

I was there this summer. Lovely castle. (Schloss Neuschwanstein in the Allgaeur Alpen close to Fuessen, Bavaria for those wanting to know)
-
Not that fresh, but have just listening to an old FSOL Essential Mix from 1994 (http://slack.ser.man.ac.uk/files/1994.05.14%20-%20Essential%20Mix%20-%20Future%20Sound%20of%20London.mp3) that some might appreciate. Quality is a bit dubious, but its classic FSOL spaced out weirdness.

Some good recommendations coming out. If I had to spare I'd be buying Audio Assault (http://audioassault.com/) records by the shed-load. It's a Dutch label with a nice old-meets-new school aesthetic. (Reminds me of nights @ The Arches [the only gigs I complained were too loud for me] and various other Crusty affairs across North Wales.)
You'll get my drift if you listen to AA honcho Bas Mooy (http://www.myspace.com/basmooy).
A recent set - Bas Mooy @ Strictly Techno, Sept 07 (http://audioassault.defekt.nl/sets/Bas_Mooy_at_Strictly_Techno_14-09-2007.mp3) (192Kbps* 75mb)
(*It's really hard to listen to anything less than 320Kbps material these days, isn't it? 128Kb on an mp3 player is deafening on the volume. HAlf past twooo!!)
-
Houdini - you and Rastata have good taste. That last mix you put up (by the sentinel) was a treat. I think it was mixed by hand for once too. Most mixing you hear these days is digitally mastered and beat perfect, I found it quite refreshing to hear the odd dropped beat towards the end of that mix. And, there's a bit when the dj attempts beat juggling and only just gets away with it. Brilliant. Beat juggling was the mark of the next level in DJing. I never managed it, but am sure Bubs will have done. He was a bit of a DJ hero of mine you know (bubs, not the sentinel)(although, I was on drugs). I shall download this latest offering of yours with anticipation.
Have an excellent Villalobos set to upload but dont know where to put it.
-
Megaupload?
Yes it is hard to find the techno you want presented how you want it. That's the issue with nEil_M_ and Bushby as they play the music I want to hear but only on a laptop. (But I do like the fact that instead of buying the latest whatever I'm enjoying some drugtaking loon in his bedroom, larging it regardless.)
Kind words = The Skipping Mix (http://www.megaupload.com/de/?d=XLF8VPIH) Alas only 160 kbps, but it is '97 vintage (DX). (Very hard to skip: tearaway pace - always catches me out when L'Eau comes in around 03:50)
-
Just to drag this thread away from beats for a second, discovered James Blackshaw this week. Any fans of Jack Rose are sure to enjoy. This link (http://theyellowstereo.dreamhosters.com/August/Week3/02%20Running%20To%20The%20Ghost%201.mp3) might work.

Aye, it definitely was. I agree it is refeshing to hear a few fluffed mixes but i'm sure that's just nostalgia :)
I never managed it, but am sure Bubs will have done.
Momentarily but not really. I even used to buy battle vinyl to practice but was shit at it.
He was a bit of a DJ hero of mine you know
Awww! Thanks Dobbs but it probably was the drugs :lol:
-
I'll put that DJ Hell mix up somewhere once i fix my p2p box's hard drive - it's quite good.
-
The Hell mix would be neat. Found a neat and current mix of his whilst looking earlier, I'll track the link down & post it. Pretty much what I remember from the gig (tho the bass was nuts in the flesh). I like his sound, mental and fun, and really really German.
-
(I had a quick poke around that megaupload thing and I cant get it to work, I suspect its because I am at work and therefore behind a wall of rabid internet dogs, will do it tonight or tomorrow)

A darkish techno mix from Hybrid that I quite like (on first listening anyway) available to download as a torrent (http://www.hybridized.org/sets/469).
Found this on http://www.hybridized.org/ (http://www.hybridized.org/) which seems to have quite a few torrents/mixes hosted from various artists. Will be keeping an eye on it and 'leeching' mixes over time (as soon as I get a new 500Gb HD to store all my crap on!).
-
Today it's been a little minimal, a touch glitchy, and darkly atmospheric.
First up and highly recommended, is Aoki Takamasa (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sl3vi6gEp50) I'd never heard of this guy till someone handed me the album 'Parabolica', but I'm glad I have.
Next up, on the strength of both albums receiving 5 star reviews in the Observer, is Burial, the eponymous album and new one 'Unreal'. I think I like these, but a few listens will be required. Worth checking out though, I just can't quite get with the pitched up garagey style vocals....
-
I have recently been listening to "Boxer" by The National which I have been liking. It reminds be a bit of Tindersticks. Worth checking out in my opinion.

Hey guys. I've just started getting into this "electronic dance music" thing. I found some well wacky stuff that doesn't have any singing or guitars or anything, it just has a load of bleeps and beats. What was the name of it?? Technical? Or something? Errr... "Techno", that was it!
I listened (http://www.juno.co.uk/playlists/builder/b5e844b3be7f2e5c7d4dd0d534234677.m3u) to some of this (http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/273734-01.htm) and decided I really rather liked it and better buy some, just in case.
-
:furious:
Any more techno and I'm gonna go mental...

Nothing to do with the fact there's a track called 'Fiend and Friend' on side 2? :-\

Alas not. I don't have any friends.

Found this website the other day while looking for Sam Shalabi's first album - might be of interest to some of the people here as it specialises in techno\electronica etc: http://tinyurl.com/2bg7hw - the sad news is that they are closing next year but at least you get 70% off most things (you do have to spend more than a 10 though).
Talking of Sam Shalabi been listening to Shalabi Effects Pink Abyss album which is rather good - http://tinyurl.com/ypwa89 - track 2 is rather excellent to say the least - the rest of the album not bad either.

Quick update on the "fillers" I ordered from small fish - Quick update on the "fillers" I ordered from smallfish.co.uk - Celestion: http://tinyurl.com/2yrsb8 and Solitude: http://tinyurl.com/yu8ybq by Remote_.
Celestion is a really stripped back minimalist techno sort of track that just noodles along in the background in a really brilliant way whereas Solitude is similar but has a bit more of drone thing going on and as an added bonus the packaging is superbly minimalist as well - art and good music all wrapped up in one little package - get in there!

When you click on the hyperlink button it inserts [url ][/url] (without the space after the first url which I've put there so that it doesn't appear as a proper link), and you are putting the URL (the http://whatever/) in between the two sets of brackets, something like [url ]http://whatever[/url] (again ignoring the space after the first url).
If you want a word to appear instead then all you do is place the URL inside the first set of brackets like...
[ url=http://whatever ]somewhere[/url]
although obviously you would need to remove the spaces that are in the first set of brackets so that it does actually appear as a link.

Hey guys. I've just started getting into this "electronic dance music" thing. I found some well wacky stuff that doesn't have any singing or guitars or anything, it just has a load of bleeps and beats. What was the name of it?? Technical? Or something? Errr... "Techno", that was it!
I listened (http://www.juno.co.uk/playlists/builder/b5e844b3be7f2e5c7d4dd0d534234677.m3u) to some of this (http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/273734-01.htm) and decided I really rather liked it and better buy some, just in case.
You mean Clicks and Cuts?
That Audio Assault shit is the shit.
You're onto a winner with Exium (is that the 1st hyperlink - all got a bit confucius there?). Exium are a spanish duo www.exium-music.com and they've been mining and evolving the Birmingham sound for some time now. Real Spanish techno = forward thinking cutting edge stuff. Often, it's ultra dark and frightening.
AndiE: as David Starkey said - Never complain - never explain.
-
Just listening to the Holy Fuck (http://www.myspace.com/holyfuck)LP. At last! Just what I've been waiting for to post on this thread - the techno-krautrock crossover!
Superb.
Holy Fuck make a noise as abrasive as it is awesome ... these dark disco droogs thread every sound under the sun through their electric playground of wires. They come on like the nastiest electronic band since Suicide, or like the The Fall reworking their brains with screwdrivers, or Add N to (X) playing speed metal.
edit: props to soapy for recommending these 40 pages back.

If you are using Firefox, there's a handy extension called BBcode which means you can just copy the link, highlight the text you want to link to it, right click to a menu and voila. Whilst you're at it add All-in-one gestures so you can blow Cofe's mind with mouse flicks.

anyone into the 'burial' stuff? - 'untrue' is classic
I've had a good few listens through this now and i think it's fantastic. I don't care whether it's bona fide Dubstep or not, let's not get hung up on genre nit-picking, it's a fine album; for me it's a soundtrack to British cities at night - mysterious, a bit scary and full of brooding atmosphere.

Today it's been a little minimal, a touch glitchy, and darkly atmospheric.
First up and highly recommended, is Aoki Takamasa (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sl3vi6gEp50) I'd never heard of this guy till someone handed me the album 'Parabolica', but I'm glad I have.
Next up, on the strength of both albums receiving 5 star reviews in the Observer, is Burial, the eponymous album and new one 'Unreal'. I think I like these, but a few listens will be required. Worth checking out though, I just can't quite get with the pitched up garagey style vocals....
I'm liking it, and made 'Night Bus' my alarm clock sound. For me, not a soundtrack to *most* British cities at night; i.e. somewhere to stay away from. Give me a bit of beech and an axe these days....

Me too. I was this close to including it in my Top 5 for 2007 but I only got last week and thought that might be a little hasty. Its way, way better than their album from last year... fantastic stuff.

I've never really considered myself a Radiohead fan in any way (I only own Ok Computer) but I really like In Rainbows. Maybe i'll have to start digging through the rest of their back-catalogue.
-
I don't rate the recent stuff that much. First 3 albums are better.
-
Thanks for the tip. I really like a couple of tracks on Ok Computer so i'll check out their other stuff.
-
I would say that the albums in between OK Computer and In Rainbows are probably their best work though Hail to the Thief is a bit weak at times - The Bends is also a stunning album and is worth buying for Fake Plastic Trees alone IMO.

-
I love Radiohead, but I could never get myself into Hail to the Thief and bits of Amnesiac I didn't like.
On a seperate note, my 3 year old knows all the lyrics to OK Computer so that tells you how often I listen to it :thumbsup:
In Rainbows has only been listened to twice so far. Not at all bad.
-
I love Radiohead, but I could never get myself into Hail to the Thief and bits most of Amnesiac I didn't like.
Almost agree totally there.
There's also the Easy Star All-Stars "Radiodread" if you want something different.

We all love The Beach Boys, I think we can take that as a given. And of course, going deeper, we all worship Brian Wilson as the great addled genius behind them. But how many of us give his brother Dennis the credit he's due?
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51m9Ww5WZlL._AA240_.jpg)
This festive period I've been digging Dennis.
That Dennis was the second-best songwriter in the Beach Boys was amazing, as was the band's failure to appreciate him as such. Bursting with creativity, this album is the result of years of songwriting, only a small trickle of which wound up on Beach Boys records. An absolute classic, and so much better than anything the Boys did in the 70s up 'til this point (with the exception of "Sunflower," which is another Dennis showcase).
-
With such a strong look going for him its no wonder you've been digging him

Here's a little antidote- and segues nicely away from the techno - as these three came out of the techno underground scene in London, or so I'm telled...
A Mountain of One - Collected works
I'll post a review in a sec which explains quite well, but for me this has been one of those 'sit up and listen again' finds, which surprised and pleased me in equal measure.
It's had me reaching for the Ozric Tentacles CDs, as well as some very happy memories of the smell of the fine timber and polish of my uncle's record cabinet as, aged about 8, I immersed myself in Ammonia Avenue and Stereotomy by the Alan Parsons Project....
Here's the review: MusicOMH (http://www.musicomh.com/albums/a-mountain-of-one_1007.htm)
-
I would encourage more non-techno recommendations.
In the meantime here is some more techno, hot off the press this one.
I really do like the work of the Finn Tuomas Rantanen, more so as there are very few quality producers working at the extreme end of techno. Rantanen is one such guy, he releases bugger all; what he does put out is stella, I think.
Tuomas Rantanen LIVE PA for Emissions #2 originally broadcast on Finnish radio. (http://podcast.techno.fm/Emissions_-_2_-_Tuomas_Rantanen_-_Live_PA_2007.11.10_on_Techno.FM.mp3)

It sure as shit ain't MNML.
-
Yeah screw all this techno bollox. Time for some real music. This has got it all, drums....and....bass...
Spanking new studio mix from Ed Rush and Optical, this is some of the best filth I've heard from them since a decade ago when they were making stuff like The Raven and To Shape The Future. (http://www.breakbeat.co.uk/DNBTV/default.aspx?programID=100461)
-
Time for something a little different (though anything by Toumas Rantanen is always welcome) - drones by a scottish guy called erstlaub (http://www.erstlaub.co.uk) - has a great album out at the minute called On Becoming An Island (http://www.highpointlowlife.com/releaseinfo.php?id=25) and also a live set from late last year here erstlaub live set (http://www.erstlaub.co.uk/music/Live@Peackock%20Arts%20Centre%20101107.mp3).
Another earlier work here called blown (http://www.archive.org/details/cnv20).
Enjoy and expect some more non-techno recommendations very soon.

Houdini: You can be so thick.
The picture is Arnie in Predator. The significance is his watch (see left wrist). This was one of the Barraclough hand made originals, designed to British Standard 978 Part 2: Cycloidal Type Gears. These watches were made from titanuium at a factory in Leeds until 1986, and are now very hard to find. A Barraclough Callibrated TimePieceTM recently sold at the market for nearly a pony.
Hope that helps.

All right sweethearts!
I'll leave the mp3's a while before I capsize this thread under a hundredweight of techno - but before that may I recommend one last outing with my most favoured producer, Surgeon. I would say that this show equals the NECK FACE studio mix (which is excellent) & currently available in the media section of his site www.dj-surgeon.com (same set was plugged before by another).

I thought it would be best that there was no distinction between any of the music on this thread.
Duma, there is country music, pop, rock, rap (French, too :thumbsdown:), Grime, filth, scum, d+b, house, IDM, electro, old skool, neu-classic so many.
So in view of the fact that Duma (& possibly others, Andy Popp?) may not view this thread as it's well-techy (no idea how) I think I'll start a new thread just for electronica, and return this thread to cofe and Crosby, Stills and Nash. OK?
Complaints re the above?
Tho perhaps not till page 100.

'dini - the fault is all my own, be not afeared! Re country, I'd like to nominate Creedence Clearwater Revival, especially "lookin' out my back door", though "proud mary" and "bad moon rising" are worth a look, and while we're on the subject, crosby stills nash and young wrote the never to be forgotten track "fontainebleau" - Oh Yeah.
-
CCR are part of my youth. I particularly dig a later LP of John Fogerty. John Fogerty rocks fo sho. I feel the same about The Long Riders and also, yes! Bachman Turner Overdrive.
Country, better than the blues yet almost but not quite as significant as Americas' rtock output. Dig country, people.
Dolly Parton's flat picking style is also quite sublime.
-
Glad you like erstlaub houdini - just for you here is a remix of On Becoming An Island called Dark Archipelagos (http://www.highpointlowlife.com/webrelease.php?id=25) which strangely enough is rather good indeed.
Something else I have found while looking for erstlaub related stuff is someone called Stray Ghost (http://www.highpointlowlife.com/webrelease.php?id=27) - probably not as good as erstlaub overall but well worth checking out the first track Flight which is stunningly good.
Actually the highpointlowlife label who are responsible for both of the above is well worth checking out IMO - the downloads section (http://www.highpointlowlife.com/downloads.php) it has some really interesting stuff for the more discerning lover of noise/electronica/all round good music.
For those of you who prefer your music to be a bit more subtle and generally something your neighbours might not complain about excessively then I recommend the truly excellent minimalist music of Labradford - probably the pick of their albums is Fixed Context but buy any of their last three albums and you won't go far wrong.

Dig country, people.
Not a huge fan of country but I will throw Calexico into the mix as a token effort - any of their albums are more than worthy of playing but my personal favourite would have to be Hot Rail - an album that epitomises their mix of Americana and Mariarchi music and it has one great album cover to boot too.
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41CKQSB3CSL._AA240_.jpg)
Dunno what it is about that cover but I love it...

Excellent choice Sir, I believe I've plugged them earlier, but this thread's a lumbering behemoth, and it's great to be reminded.
Personally I favour Prazision which was recently re-released, and their eponymous LP*, which ended their more instrument-based/ period (great use of reverb) and marked the start of a more laptoppy/weird bongly 6-string bass/ambient sound they've been mining for a while. (I found the Mi Media Naranja LP too ambient, not a bad thing by any means but so different from their previous works. The E Lux Soso LP was divine to my ears.)
*(http://www.musicfearsatan.com/Admin/Uploads/DSK/3476/labradford_st_(small).jpg)
Anyone who likes the sound of this really must visit Brainwashed (http://brainwashed.com/labradford/music.html) which details all their releases and has mp3 samples.
But yeah, such a great great band, very much a watching the lights dance on the walls from an open fire as you shoot heroin/drink a little wine. -affair. Lush.

Keep reading about BURIAL. Never heard them - or at least I think I haven't. Found an interesting interview (http://hyperdubrecords.blogspot.com/2007/10/burial-untrue-november-2007.html)
Underground music should have its back turned, it needs to be gone, untrackable, unreadable, just a distant light.
Thoughts?

Check some of the recomendations on this thread Houdinininini. If I could edit my pick of 2007 thread I would have nominated their latest as one of the best from last year - it's a real grower.

Ice Ambient! Pretty nice stuff.
I'm sure bluebrad mentioned this before but: Smallfish records are having a closing down sale with hundreds upon hundreds of CDs of electronica / ambient / experiemental / chillout / downbeat / house / techno / trip-hop etc etc at 70% off standard prices. (http://www.smallfish.co.uk/shop)
They've got samples for almost everything and after a few hours of research I've ordered 8 CDs of varied bleeping, banging, droning and twiddling for 30 notes. Which isn't bad.

(Apologies for repetition but this thread is vast)
I will endeavour to check it out on the strength of your recommendation but I have already bought about 20 CD's this month and I really dare not add anymore to the list or I will be bankrupt...
Been listening to Labradford's Prazision LP and it is starting to work now - a bit different to their later stuff but not bad for that.
Anyway these two albums have been rocking my world this week:
First up some classic jazz influenced stuff by Tortoise - specifically this:
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Y0TJ6Q12L._AA240_.jpg)
Next something which the great Houdini might know about which is Pan American.
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31QHV09MQ6L._AA240_.jpg)
It is one half of Labradford and it sounds similar with the shimmering guitar thing but it has a great dub sound going on as well. One for late at night after a glass of port or two for sure!

... get onto the WARP site and order THIS IS FOR YOU SHITS which is a LTD Edition CD of 1000 of Surgeons 2nd mix CD.
Damn you Houd! ;) Just noticed the Haswell and Hecker CD they have as well which is intriguing - do you know anything about them ie are they any good?
bluebrad
-
The Pan American LP is a fine recording, for sure. Good tip.
Hecker? Would that be Maximillian Hecker & is that CD on Kitty Yo, a Berlin label? If it is & I'm making the right connections expect something close to (struggles to define it -smiley) pop-tech (?). Kitty Yo are a fab label & I strongly recommend you explore their back catalogue - in particular for a duo of weirdy-beardy laptoppers called Rechenzentrum (which means something like, Command Centre). They have a 3rd memeber whose duties are restricted to the visual art in their performances and releases. eg - I'll kick off w/the big one (apologies for repetition, it's on this thread somewhere)
(http://static.boomkat.com/images/76863/333.jpg)
There is also a .mov on the CD set to the track IBM (which makes terrifying use of a 2001 S/Odyssey sample). Very very sensitive and moving electronica which would sit very comfortably amongst your collection.
Also - their eponymous LP - Kitty Yo, auch sehr sehr gut.
Also - their Directors Cut CD/DVD - Mille Plateaux.
Also - their Silence DVD -Weiser Music.
www.rechenzentrum.com
www.myspace.com/rechenzentrum
Haswell? I cannot help.
Tortoise. That looks like the Standards LP. I love their work particularly their 1st & 2nd LP - from a time before they had become comfortable in the space they'd defined for themselves.
Great recommendations all round, Bravo Bluebrad.
-
Re: Tortoise - it is Standards. Got most if not all of Tortoise's albums and they are all great but this is the album I would recommend if asked.
The Haswell and Hecker album that I am referring to is this: Haswell and Hecker (http://warpmart.com/item/Haswell%20and%20Hecker/UPIC%20Warp%20Tracks/3142) and it would appear from a very small piece of research that it is not Maximillian Hecker but Florian Hecker. They seem to have a unique (to me at least) way of creating music:
"Haswell and Hecker return with this second and very limited release of work they've made using Iannis Xenakis incredible UPIC system of sound synthesis which is made of a drawing tablet the size of a large sheet of paper, and allows the user to draw a sound composition: the lines drawn with an electronic pen are directly translated into sound."
Weirdness abounds Batman!
Kitty Yo - know the name but not heard anything by them - I will research them tonight while on nightshift and try to avoid buying anything. Knowing me this will be futile. :(

It's a rare, rare day that I find myself championing French techno - a rare day indeed, so it's w/great pleasure that I hope to be the 1st to introduce you to POPOF
http://www.myspace.com/popofheretik
In particular the No Trace remix (which I could triple-drop w/absinthe & in Soapy's words *wibble* - out to for an eternity, and hope that I never get old and fade away).
First heard a more rawk version on the Blackout Radio show (www.blackoutaudio.co.uk) courtesy of Mark EG (who has great taste but whom I find personally, cheek-munchingly embarrasing)
Here is a 320 kbps / 130 min mix of the Blackout Radio Show recently aired on Moscow FM. It is ace due to a half hour Bas Mooy (Audio Assault head honcho) mix, plus around the 67 min mark EG spins the No Trace remix and it's fucking huge. Even Unc will/must agree that this is blinding.
Check it & don't forget Bas Mooy, who makes some of the most Earth moving techno is Europe.

P2P guys.
If you happen to come across any POPOF mixes and would post a url that would be fab. I can't find any. There must
be some as he's made about 30 records. I'd love you forever if you could turf up anything recent.
Not holding out but thanks in advance.

It is a very rare occasion that I listen to an album and on that first play think that it deserves a recommendation on the Funky f-f-f-f-f-ffffresh beats thread but this is one of those times.
I present Fisk Industries Isle of Wight EP
(http://www.highpointlowlife.com/images/hpll005_300.jpg)
Sounds like a full fat Boards of Canada with a hint of german electronica and some great sub bass action going on.
Also found two great mixes from Sunset Radio - the first "Explores the depths of Berlin's Rhythm & Sound extended family of labels, focusing especially on their "Main Street" imprint for deep house and dark, eerie detached layers of dub traces." mix 1 (http://sonicsunset.org/ci_20060901_matt.mp3)
The second should please a few of the old skool on here being "A retrospective set of London's B12 Records." mix 2 (http://sonicsunset.org/ci_20060901_b12.mp3)

On a slightly less profound tip...
New Watch the Ride mix from TC. Well good if you like that kind of thing and aren't looking for noise that "creates a silent conversation between the work of the two artists" but want noise that "sounds like a range of hoovers, old school arcade machines and sewing machines being turned on and off in an occasionally rhythmic fashion". It's got Sub Focus - Druggy on it and this is a really good tune. Each of the Watch the Ride mixes that have come out have been alright. The Zinc one from last year was pretty hot and the Scratch Perverts one, while not up to usual SPs, was pretty cool in it's own way.
Also got Back to Mine by Krafty Kuts, which is pretty good too. Some classy hip hop, Massive Attack's awesome "Any Love" and the Incredible Bongo Band's "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida". Haven't really listened to it much but played those last two tunes about four times each. Oh yeah, and there's Nas - Nas is Like. Good stuff.

And the final set from the night;
Gaiser (http://rapidshare.com/files/43739774/gaiser_live-at-10days_off_belgium_18.07.2007.mp3)
This set is great. Better than the Audion or Magda set. :dance1:
If you liked that, have another Gaiser set people. Turn it UP! Fuck the neighbours and their shitty dogs!

I was quite underwhelmed by this sort of stuff when i first heard it, but i really like it now...it's dirty funky dancing music - nice! is this mnml? what is mnml?
-
Yes it's mnml (though deeper than much I've heard).
Interesting how opinions on the same thing can be so different: I thought it was low on funk, had no dirt at all, and I'd probably only dance to this after a proper marathon & was exhausted. Weird, huh?
I leaves me cold, unemotional, disinterested. C'est la vie.
mnml? Opinions vary but I'd say it's characterised by a particularly tight mid-low freq' compressed kick w/ little or no decay; plenty of ma (space between the elements, some might say room to breathe) and one the whole there's less there than haus and tech-haus but nevertheless quite busy on the bleep. I've long stop thinking that it's all techno, that's an out-of-date statement.

Interesting how opinions on the same thing can be so different: I thought it was low on funk, had no dirt at all, and I'd probably only dance to this after a proper marathon & was exhausted. Weird, huh?
I leaves me cold, unemotional, disinterested. C'est la vie.
When i first heard this sort of stuff i found it pretty boring, but i quite like it now. An acquired taste maybe? At the moment I don't really like Surgeon style stuff - i find that dark and cold...
-
Viva la difference, Bubs. I'd never force anything down anyones neck, c'ept maybe my cock ;)
Interestingly that's a common complaint about Brum style, or that it's too nerdy :-[
-
I've got some early Surgeon stuff on vinyl which i really like and i've got a few sets of his to listen too from that mix tapes site i've been ripping...
-
Surgeon is a different animal these days - his own stuff is still dark, slightly slow minimal tech-funk; his stuff w/ British Murder Boys is industrial based and won't appeal to all.
But I've access to quite a bit of mnml - I'll post some recent stuff which you might not have heard - any pointers/faves? mnml is vast in Germany now . . . especially Berlin.
-
Audion mix (http://rapidshare.com/files/90880710/audion-smashmix.mp3.html) for those of you that don't have it.
Not the longest set in the world as I think it was a promo for Suckfish album, but good nonetheless.
-
Try this place Bubs: www.mnml.nl Should suit your requirements (if you don't already know it).
And www.swedishhousemafia.com has a fair bit of hurdy-gurdy haus/mnml.
On a mnml DJ tip then search for Andre Galluzzi - who's flying the flag quite hard for Berlin at the mo'.

In an effort to thwart Houdini's master plan to turn us all into his MNML techno-bitches I present a small selection from the ever brilliant Constellation record label. (http://www.cstrecords.com/aboutcst_index.html) I won't bother to recommend the three big names from the label: Godspeed You Black Emperor, Do Make Say Think or A Silver Mount Zion but instead will highlight the lesser known lights that are released by them.
Firstly Exhaust (http://www.cstrecords.com/bands_exhaust.html) - both albums are well worth checking out but their eponymous first album is probably the more accessible of the two.
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Y80XPB8WL._AA240_.jpg)
The second album - Enregistruer - is similar sounding but far more restrained overall - again highly recommended but it never quite reaches the heights of the first album for me.
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/4112PG4QB3L._AA240_.jpg)
Next up is Polmo Polpo's Like Hearts Swelling (http://www.cstrecords.com/cst026.html)
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41WDJZ3V4FL._AA240_.jpg)
"Building on foundations of multi-layered full-spectrum drones and loops, the music of Polmo Polpo is distinguished by slide guitar motifs that are more naive pop pastoral than spaghetti western."
I still remember the first time I heard this album and the feeling of just being blown away by it - the standout has to be the track Sky Histoire - it steadily builds drones on top of drones at an ever increasing volume that sounds as if "he is torturing a whale".
Lastly - 1 Speed Bike's Droopy Butt Begone (http://www.cstrecords.com/cst014.html)
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/5137KRFN96L._AA240_.jpg)
Constellation's description: "Alternating between humour and homage, Droopy Butt Begone! opens with a medley of 80's techno/hip-hop references (shameless filtered synth swells, BPM doubling, scratch samples and a shout-out dedication of sorts), giving way to delicate glockenspiel underpinned by head-bobbing beats."
Might be right - all I know is that I love this album!!
MP3 links:
Exhaust - Metro Mile End (http://www.southern.net/southern/band/EXHAU/sounds/metro_mile_end.mp3) from the first album and voiceboxed (http://www.southern.net/southern/band/EXHAU/sounds/voiceboxed.mp3) from the second.
Polmo Polpo (unfortunately not Sky Histoire) - farewell (http://www.southern.net/southern/band/POLMO/sounds/CST26_03_farewell.mp3)

The Polmo polpo stuff is sublime, thought I was tripping and listening to Ry Cooder for a moment there.

I finally got around to listening to Boxer by The National http://www.americanmary.com/ after Pantontinononony had been banging on about it on this thread last year. It's really good, broody rock with a big sound.. good Sunday morning music.

Burial. Funny thing, seems to be the talk of the underground . . .
I love Untrue, one of the best things i've heard for ages.
Just listened to this and it hit the spot pretty nicely. Would imagine it would be brilliant in the right circumstances. From what I'd read though I was expecting something much more dublike - its dubby without sounding anything much like dub!
-
As an antidote to all this fucking awful dark Birmingham-style techno I keep posting, I offer:

Sam Geiser AKA Deetron is Swiss - his sound reflects that. I'm still undecided if I'll see him spin in a fortnight. Too soulful for me, but enjoy, I'm listening the now.
-
:lol: I do quite like the Cirez D stuff - have you heard any Moonbeam stuff? you might like that :) Some of it is listenable to on bleep i think....well it was recently anyway....
-
Listening now - reminds me of the UMEK mixes I've been listening to of late, POPOF-esque. Particulary Eclipse. It's quite sparse but not mnml, still got quite a phat bass; and not at all progressive *spit* in fact it represents the kind of groovy tech I like when I lighten up and stop listening to all that dark-scraping-whirring brainiac-stuff. Lots of synthy sustain in this sound. It sounds very eastern Europe this.
I think it would be even better on quality MDMA. Lots of dancing w/ eyes closed stuff only to open them and embarrassingly realise your mates have been watching you zone-out for ages ::)

I've been good to you people w/ free stuff - and I've got something extra special for you today (and I'd normally keep the good stuff all to myself ) - if you don't like it, feel free to fuck-off-and-die:
Birushanah - Akai Yami (http://www.mediafire.com/?1sxdmyvdmut)
(http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q259/Johnwilkesboo/mewoeoeoeoeoe.jpg)
Imagine an intense doom metal band, with traditional Japanese instruments, and a willingness to experiment, then you'd get Birushanah, featuring members of Corrupted. Their debut, "Akai Yami" is a masterpiece. Only three songs, but well worth your time.
1. "Jyodo" - 2:13
2. "Akai Yami" - 20:29
3. "Kairai" - 17:41

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 (http://www.mediafire.com/?amlydw6ub1j) (.zip)
(http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q259/Johnwilkesboo/massacre3.jpg)
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.

just rediscovered this beauty from the hard drive.

search for more music by them. some good stuff
-
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.

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.

From being a MASSIVE fan as a teenager, by 2001 I'd totally abandoned The Charlatans (http://www.thecharlatans.net/). 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 (http://www.xfm.co.uk/news/2008/download-charlatans-new-album-for-free).
(http://www.thecharlatans.net/nav/ycmpbanner420.jpg)
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! (http://mediaweb.musicradio.com/mp3/Oh!%20Vanity.mp3) 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...

" 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.

A wicked set from DJ Yoda and Dan Greenpeace with everything from The Muppets and Scooby-Do through to Stevie Wonder, The Specials and many, many more along the way.
:bow:
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. :thumbsup:

I've a number of Soulwax mixes if you'd like Jasper,. They're called "As heard on Radio Soulwax Parts 1-5", and are the original series from which the album was released, which were originally radio shows on a German radio station (although a quick search has revealed it now goes up to 30!, downloading as a torrent now). I can also up an Essential Mix of theirs from 2005.
Give us the word and I shall up them to my server for you (might take a while though).

This is fucking brilliant. (http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-images/Music/Pix/pictures/2008/02/28/nickcave.jpg)
I watched an awesome band called 'Lonesome and Penniless Cowboys' last night, who introduced themselves as 'we play Hank Williams, that's pretty much all we do', but they made my evening. Especially when they were joined by Richard Hawley on a blistering version of 'That's alright (mama)', and then by him and his uncle, Sheffield blues legend Frank White, on 'Mystery Train'....
one of those privileged moments :)

Hercules and the Love Affair If you like Robert Owens era Mr Fingers, Theo Parrish and David Mancuso/Arthur Russell/Larry Levan 'proper' disco then you'll love this. It's been in the press a bit due to the presence of Anthony Hegarty providing vocals on some tracks. Quality house/disco/electro. Brilliant.

Good call with the Yoda and Greenpeace EM Slack-line. I love the Jamie Oliver bit!!
I've been hammering Soulseek for EM's recently. Of particular note were:
D Ramierez 13/05/07
Eric Prydz 04/03/07
TC 19/01/08 which is absolutley belting D&B. I haven't stopped playing it of late.
Dubfire 02/09/07
Chris Lake 05/08/05
All of the above come highly recommended, with TC being out of this world.

Anyone heard Thom Yorke's The Eraser LP yet?
Not got the LP but listening to Surgeon's RMX of The Clock on rotation
DL Link (http://podcast.xs4all.nl/upload/werksman-the_clock_surgeon_remix.mp3) Wouldn't call it techno really, but I've heard it in lots of tech sets - it works. 128 kbps

the eraser is a great album. anything that guy touches is gold.

Grabbed that TC mix when it was upped the other month, it is indeed a wicked set.
If your after EM's Golt then get yourself over to http://www.themixingbowl.org/ (http://www.themixingbowl.org/), pretty much all of them are available as torrents (although you might have to request reseeds on some).

TC may not produce or mix the most heavy and cheeseless tunes, but surely there is a time and a place? Lots of people don't want to hear what appears to be the sound of a heavy munitions factory being bombed by the RAF at over 160 bpm at all times of day. I haven't got much TC stuff but I quite like his Watch the Ride mix even though there is far too much singing involved and not enough high speed barrel rolls of sound over the top of what could be described as a tin of ballbearings being dropped down a deep well. Again, time and place. Not on a Saturday night but maybe midweek, seven am on the way to work.
As for crimes against DnB, who cares? Its just music that's produced to please and if it pleases someone, then it has worked. No?
-
Anyhoo, currently enjoying new Guillemots. Bit more structured (no 8 min epics) than last album, but still some great tunes. New Elbow is good too, if you like that sort of thing.

Chris Morris Blue Jam Series 1-3 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Jam)
Grabbed from various places over the years, in no small part thanks to Cook'd and Bomb'd (http://www.cookdandbombd.co.uk/), this is the almost complete set of the three radio shows that preceeded Jam, and were broadcast on Tuesday mornings at 02.00 after the Breezeblock. The main omission is the sixth episode of the first series which was edited due to potential liable or some other such nonsense (see Wikipedia article for details, plus links to transcripts).
This is truly the work of genius, sit back, relax and zone out to 18hours (or 1.4Gb) of ambient twistedness.

Old thread here http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,2952.0/topicseen.html (http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,2952.0/topicseen.html) and look at Jack Rose & Steffen Basho Junghans for present day awesomeness; Fahey and Kotke for fantastic 60's and 70's solo fingerpicking/slide reinterpretations of old blues - once you've found Fahey it'll help you navigate back to pre-war.

Very good indeed and not at all like his usual mixes you can download. More clubby and less random samples. Listened to it three times last night and the only disappointment was that the Skream track at the end didn't lead into a dubstep mash-up as I'd hoped when it started.

Not really my cup of tea on first listen, so won't really comment on whether its good or bad. Will see if it grows on me.
On a DnB tip though, stumbled across www.dnb-sets.de (http://www.dnb-sets.de/) that seems to have a ton of mixes on there for free. :great:

I have only listened to it once after buying it yesterday but my first impression was that the middle part (tracks 3 to 7) were bordering on the brilliant but the rest of the tracks with one exception are a bit patchy - I will persist with it though and will no doubt be forced to commit a Gordon Brown-esque about turn soon. ;)
Something that really is worth checking out though is the new Four Tet EP Ringer.
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51YmXmwnl5L._SL500_AA240_.jpg)
Obviously Four Tet when you listen to it but subtly different to his earlier stuff - a bit more edgy I would say and very nice too.

Just been sent a link from those nice guys at Highpoint Lowlife to something called Electronic Explorations. (http://electronicexplorations.org/) The blurb says the following:
"If you like your music experimental, uncompromising, hand crafted and eerie, mathematical and heavy on the bass then look no further than Electronic Explorations If youre an admirer of records labels such as Planet Mu, DMZ, Tectonic, Hyperdub, Skull Disco, Tempa, M_Nus, Rephlex, Counterbalance, Dynamic Tension & Warp Records to name but a few then youre in for a real treat."
Not investigated much other than looking at who is on there but it looks good. I will add that there is a Surgeon mix available in case you need any more persuading though I suspect that it is not going to be necessary for most of you... ;)

Quite.
Heard that Surgeon month or so back - it's good, a worthwhile listen. Not bothered w/ the rest. :)

Holy crap, here's a proper review...
I started listening to the first track and thought, oh my god, what is this horrific electro-crap that's been mistakenly put onto my 65daysofstatic CD? OK, it's not a bad tune and it is most certainly electro stamped with 65days' usual style. However, normal service is resumed in the second track and the epic noisemongers do their duty in knocking my little socks off. The third track is much lighter and more playful in style but still very epic. The fourth tune is a fitting finale for a 65days release, nice and epic as usual.
Compared to most music, I'd give this 4/5 for being sheer quality, but compared to other 65days releases, it'll have to be 3/5. Better than most of The Destruction of Small Ideas but not a shade on the first two albums.
Also, they played leeds recently and I missed them :'( did anyone catch them?
Soon I'll be reviewing Youthmovies' new album Good Nature. More brilliance from these lads including the excellent TNGIAM (The Naughtiest Girl Is A Monitor).
-
Obviously Four Tet when you listen to it but subtly different to his earlier stuff - a bit more edgy I would say and very nice too.
Indeed. Good stuff.
Have you listened to the Kieren Hebden stuff? The Exchange Sessions and Tongues? Listen to them a bit, but need to do so a bit more.

I'm currently enjoying the new Martina Topley Bird album...

Indeed. Good stuff.
Have you listened to the Kieren Hebden stuff? The Exchange Sessions and Tongues? Listen to them a bit, but need to do so a bit more.
Got the first of the Exchange Sessions albums but very rarely listen to it - it's just doesn't work for me that much. To do improv well and not make it sound like awful noodling bollocks is very difficult and IMO it often takes the members of any improv band a long time playing together to get it to the point where they feed off each other naturally. What is your take on the later works out of interest?
Now for really good improv I would recommend either of the first two Shalabi Effect albums - The Trial of St. Orange (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Trial-St-Orange-Sam-Shalabi/dp/B00005Y6QZ/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1210079386&sr=8-15) or Shalabi Effect. (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Shalabi-Effect-Sam/dp/B00004U9XX/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1210079552&sr=8-1)

I've listened to it a couple of times, and whilst it's certainly not shit, it's not exactly like their previous two. I would definitely say it's worth getting though. Haven't you read the glowing review on Pitchfork?

Uncle's summary is pretty much on the money - there are enough tracks there that sound like Portishead to make it feel like a Portishead album but it is not really in the same league as either of the previous albums. Worth getting but don't pay top dollar for it.

I get the feeling very few people pay top dollar (or indeed any dollar) for music these days.
-
Andrew Weatherall - Watch the Ride. www.myspace.com/watchtheride (http://www.myspace.com/watchtheride). A mix quite unlike the last three Watch the Ride mixes (which were what roughly equates to DnB at the moment) and is pretty chilled out, but with a fair bit of mid tempo funky stuff too. I haven't bought anything quite so relaxed as this for a long while so it was quite pleasant last night just listening to something that is more like music than just pounding bass. Normal service resumed when I drove to work today listening to Skream's Rinse mix, which is probably the best dubstep mix I've come across.
-
You'd be right.
Key releases of favourite cherished bands for me only (especially if I can buy them from the band at a gig). The rest I steal ruthlessly from the internet (actually loads of downloads are put out by the bands themselves who see that mp3 previews of stuff actually promote people into buying hardcopy). Some artists/bands don't mind that much as they rarely make from records anyway - gigging being where the is. Many do mind though, but if record firms stop releasing on vinyl and make it CD-only as the margins are better then they've got it coming.

There are very few bands that I know of who make any money from touring full stop - they may make fuck all from records at times but unless you are huge you will do well to break even on a tour let alone make money.

Quite liking Seu Jorge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seu_jorge) after picking up a couple of CD's whilst in France recently on the back of the sleeve notes which indicated that he sang the portugese covers of David Bowie songs in The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou which I really liked (great film by the way, highly recommend it if you've not seen it before, hilarious in a very subtle way).
Very mellow singer with a great voice. Barely understand a word of it mind, but well worth checking out.

Useless fact but Seu Jorge also played "Knockout Ned" in the excellent City of God.

Really enjoying Bonny Prince Billy's latest LP, Lie down in the Light.

Also, if you're of an Americana, folksy bent and ain't scaried of morose violins :boohoo: then I'd find this.

Been a lot of new drum and bass CDs released recently (that's drumandbass CDs, not drum CDs and bass CDs...). Mostly a not entirely convincing bunch with many of them sounding decent enough but falling short of compelling any purchasing. Except these two which I'd recommend, a beauty and the beast pairing:
Bachelors Of Science - Science Fiction (http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/314994-01.htm) - lush uplifting liquid stuff with plenty of soppy musical shizzle (http://www.juno.co.uk/playlists/builder/d568932c9bff053e7055c0d408d0c976.m3u) but proper enough DnB beats too. One to play to your burd. :boohoo: :shag:
Dom And Roland - Through The Looking Glass (http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/316647-01.htm) - this is more like sci-fi DnB, two CDs of twisted darker stuff (http://www.juno.co.uk/playlists/builder/a9de768eb9b912364e29c5ce4e8bc229.m3u). The first CD sounds a right mix of all sorts, some good and some bland. But head to the second CD for 12 tracks of proper rolling techstep filth, verrrry nice indeed. :wall: :dance1:
-
proper rolling techstep filth
Excellent...
on a similar tip to the Bachelors of Science, Irish liquid god Calibre has just come up with this 2CD beast... (http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/313777-01.htm)
-
Good shouts there Fiend and Andi, particularly the Dom and Roland stuff, but I'll check the Calibre 'cos I haven't heard much of his stuff. Also nice to see Juno providing the goods. Still my favourite online provider of music.

Just to reiterate, having got this in my fiendish claws and just listened to it twice in a row, you need this in your life. Particularly the non-dnb heads who dabble in the popular offshoots of DnB. The general vibe is on the soppy radio friendly side but regardless it is just damn good. Tracks like the irresistably catchy "Songs For Lovers" and the soaring "Ice Dance" could warm the hearts of the most battle-hardened tech-stepper, whilst gems like the grimey "Sweat" and a rinsing breakage remix of "Immortal" by Alaska provide a quality balance to the album.
In other news, the first CD of the Dom and Roland album is rather good and better than expected from the samples.
DnB baby :dance1: :dance1: :dance1:

You are going to have to work a whole lot harder to sell this to me than that McFiend. ;)
I on the other hand have just discovered Johnny Cash - specifically this:

Excellent music and both CD's are forming part of the music collection for the trip to the Cornish Granite which starts tonight.

Everything Breakage touches turns to gold. The boy is on fire. Looking forward to hearing this!

breakage genre not Breakage artist. Capital letters count for something as I'm sure SAChris would tell you :).

Butters, fair play it wasn't for a wizened old fucker like you really... Dom & Roland probably more suitable.
Or alternatively, strictly for the true heads, some deep dark bizzle...
DNAudio present Hard Times (http://www.chemical-records.co.uk/sc/servlet/Info?Track=DNAUDIOCD1) - if you liked Fierce's two Quarantine compilations ('Dominion' and 'Zenith'), then you'll love this because it's mostly the same crew (Silent Witness, Break, Survival) and you'll know what to expect: proper dirty rolling drum'n'bass (http://www.chemical-records.co.uk/sc/servlet/sm?C=DNAUDIOCD1&S=ALL). No cheese, no fluff, no concessions to the punters, just top quality deep techy dnb.

It's lovely, I've only managed to listen to it in work so far, so not properly all the way through, can't wait to get it on my ipod :bounce: It has rekindled my love of D&B.

Change of direction to alt-country/nu-folk/whatever, anyway the Bon Iver album For Emma, Forever Ago is fabulous.
-
To make a change from recommending metal on an alt/anti-folk tip, I'm sure all of you in the know are already down, but Kimya Dawson's (http://www.kimyadawson.com) album 'Remember That I Love You' (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Remember-That-I-Love-You/dp/B000F3AJCQ) is amazing - such sweet heart breaking lyrics.

Heard this:
Title: GREEN WOUND

And as a counterpoint it's basically a woman talking really fast about boring day to day things with a bit of guitar in the background.

The Hive - Neo remix is fucking amazing, a proper "last-tune-of-the-set handsintheair" tune. Can't wait 'til it's released.
And Hivedomrymelok? Too much sickness in one room at one time - Hive, Dom, Ryme Tyme and Gridlok = sickness - tune should be big. Definitely picking up the 3x12 when it comes out!
Hive and Tech Itch - you know that's going to be machine guns fired at snare drums. Fuck yeah. Mista's a bad boy too, new boy on the scene gonna make some big impressions.
Thank you very much for bringing this to my attention edward.

I'm sure this is nothing new to anyone on here, but on a revivial tip I've been rocking a bit of DJ Shadow - Endtroducing this evening. Defo one of those albums you pull out after a while on the back burner and wonder why you haven't listened to it in so long.
-
Funnily enough (?) they played a track on Radio 1 the other evening and I had forgotten about how good it is, and thought i should dig it out again.

Considering how much of my misspent youth I spent dancing like a loon to the Prodigy I filled in the rather obvious gap in my record collection by buying their albums off Ebay a few months back for about 4 + P&P. I know exactly how you feel... :dance1:

...

I listened to this in the truck last night - it scared me into staying awake on the mind-numbing A1. Solid mix but a bit too brutal for my sensibilities. This is the sort of music that would make a house club cry in terror.
-

If the single with that annoying noise in it is anything go by, bargepole.

This is the sort of music that would make a house club cry in terror.
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Glad it caused you to not crash... Thanks for the feedback!
-
I listened to this in the truck last night ...
Shouldn't you be listening to some Chris Kristopherson or some Kenny Rogers when haulin', good buddy c'mon? ;)
-
Breaker Breaker, this is Rubber Duck, we have a Convoy.
Am loving the new UNKLE Album - "End Titles.....". Up to the usual standard.
-
Shouldn't you be listening to some Chris Kristopherson or some Kenny Rogers when haulin', good buddy c'mon? ;)
I should be really - i do feel i'm letting the side down sometimes. There's a guy at work who actually wears a cowboy hat at all times. But then there's one who has a human sized duck stuffed toy that rides with him so maybe the cowboy is preferable.
Last night I had a unit with no stereo and had to drive for 7.5 hours - now that was truly mind-numbing.
-
Headphones frowned upon then?
-
Didn't have any on me and not sure the police would look too kindly at it if you ever crashed. I'll be taking them tonight though in case i get the same unit.

More recommendations from the awesome HighPoint Lowlife (http://highpointlowlife.com) record label.
Firstly a couple of electronica records - the first being Marshall Watson's The Time was later than he expected (http://highpointlowlife.com/releaseinfo.php?id=7). Worth buying just for track four alone but overall it is just sublimely beautiful poppy electronica at its best and highly recommended - I will be buying his later album from the same label soon without reservation.
(http://highpointlowlife.com/images/releases/l/hpll009.jpg)
Next - Bovaflux Where there was nothing (http://highpointlowlife.com/releaseinfo.php?id=16). Put simply it is gorgeous - one for all the fans of the eighties style electronica that just flows seamlessly throughout this record.
(http://highpointlowlife.com/images/releases/l/hpll013.jpg)
Lastly any recommendation by myself would not be complete without some hardcore drones - I recommended Stray Ghost in one of my previous posts in this thread (with the free download link posted again here (http://highpointlowlife.com/webrelease.php?id=27)) and his new EP Losthilde (http://highpointlowlife.com/releaseinfo.php?id=28) is just the next step on from that. Houdini you will love this without a doubt.

Haven't paid any attention to this thread recently, but the new David Byrne/ Brian Eno single 'Strange Overtones' is well worth a free download (http://everythingthathappens.com/). Haven't heard the rest of the album, reports suggest patchiness, but the single is dynamite.
-
Reports would be bang on.
-
Been going through the collection lately and am just listening to deadly avenger - deep red.
A truly amazing album

A message for all the Pendulumn and Chase & Status fans out there, from the lovely Tech Itch: (http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/325216-01.htm)
You Need Therapy (http://www.juno.co.uk/playlists/builder/4b83eb3a27c1f5757e66379165f6e1df.m3u)
This is not merely kill-your-granny Drum'n'Bass. This is kill-your-granny-and-her-friends-and-several-other-random-grannies-and-their-pets-then-burn-their-homes-to-the-ground-and-dance-around-on-their-shattered-remains Drum'n'Bass. I'm sure Tech Itch is a nice guy really and loves his granny very much....but I'm equally sure he's never played her this godawful racket he's mixed and mashed up.
Excellent and highly recommended :).
(Note that the Juno samples have weaker bass than in reality....the CD is better)

Apologies if this has been posted already, but I can't find it via search...
Is it or isn't it Aphex Twin?
Can't believe that I've not already got this but i'd given up even looking for news on the madman assuming he'd retired. Happily it seems that this isn't so with last year's release of:
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51G1apFVpKL._SL500_AA240_.jpg)
The Tuss :: Rushup Edge (Rephlex)
Good to see the Cornish god is back with us. Shit hot. Vibrant and powerful. All IDM freaks get it if you've not already.
Also see the associated pisstaking Myspace page (http://www.myspace.com/thetussmusic) which warbles on about "The Tuss" (ie proud man-meat), acid; and even blatantly mentions Aphex himself. Lovely.
-
Good find Bubba, will check that out.
This is far from f-f-f-f-f-f-f-ffffresh, but I grabbed it from The Mixing Bowl (http://www.themixingbowl.org/) the other day. Probably doesn't qualify as Funky either, but perhaps some people may find it entertaining (quality is surprisingly good given the age of the recording).
Anyway, rather than keeping you in suspense any longer....
Ketih Moon Radio Show (1973) (http://slack.ser.man.ac.uk/files/keith%20moon%20radio%20show%201973.mp3) (58:25 @ 256kb)
Recorded when Keith Moon stood in whilst John Peel was on holiday.

Is it or isn't it Aphex Twin?
Pretty sure The Tuss is Mr Twin. Heard a few dirty tracks from that album a while ago courtesy of St Lade and was mightily impressed!
-
I was never sure about the Tuss - a couple of years ago when i got the album and the Confederation trough EP, the myspace page was totally different, had a couple of related pages with proper names and ting associated with it - and it really seemed a downstep from what RDJ had done in the past. Bored the shit out of me TBH. These tunes on the latest myspace page sound even worse, proper pisstaking bollocks. Are we hearing the same tunes? Sure it isn't V/VM or similar?
-
Well yeah, the stuff on the myspace page is a total pisstake.
But the album is gorgeous. Well i like it anyway, but i'm a huge fan of pretty much everything he's ever done so i would like it :)
-
And continuing the Aphex theme - here is a live dj set from the Twin:
Aphex Twin @ Coachella 2008 (http://www.zshare.net/download/112931497208e7cf/)
Excellent mix - all is calm for the first 24 minutes, then it goes Richard James mental - last track is ridiculous :)
Am downloading a .flac version atm too from Demonoid which i can share somewhere if there's enough demand. It's a biggy tho at 360mb.
-
The Tuss is definitely in the same style as RDJ's stuff, so if it isn't him, there's a second musical genius somewhere copying his style perfectly... I've not given it a proper listen so I can't really remember what the tunes were like, except that they were like RDJ's stuff...
-
For all Aphex Fans I've the following files d/l'd as a torrent from The Mixing Bowl (http://www.themixingbowl.org/topics.php?action=viewtopic&topicid=30667) (you'll need an account to view).
I haven't actually got round to watching/listening to much of this yet so can't vouch for quality/completeness of the recordings, but I can probably sort peeps out with some (as you need to have a decent ratio on the Mixing Bowl before you can download such 'Mega' Torrents), but it might take some time to upload it to my server (as linking it all from my home server would kill my net speed when people grab it thanks to Virgin's "traffic shaping" :yawn: ).

Hmmm. I'm not sure about the labelling of that mix. Firstly it's not Acid House (would anyone play Acid House at Fuse?) and secondly it doesn't sound like anything that Aphex would do. Sorry if i'm being over cynical.

They're likely derived from The Mixing Bowl (http://www.themixingbowl.org/) which has had them available for some time.
Well worth getting them if you like your dance music. I've got 1994 1997 and 2000-2007 and there are some quality mixes in there.
The Mixing Bowl also has many other radio shows archived such as Breezeblock/Marry Anne Hobbs, John Peel (RIP), Blue Room (Rob da Bank), Kiss FM, Solid Steel, 6Mix, 1xtra, Back to the Basics (German dance show), live sets from various gigs and festivals. I've a couple of invites if anyone is interested.

Nothing wrong with being cynical. Wouldn't be too surprised if its not labelled correctly, I've no recollection of where I got it from anyway. Have been listening to some of the other Aphex mixes I detailed and they sound far more like Mr James.

DJ Yoda fans pay attention
...and anyone else who loves a mashup.
If you've not heard of him check out DJ Riko (http://www.djriko).
Why I've not thought to mention this before I've no idea (http://www.themixingbowl.org/image/smilies/slap.gif), but I discovered his works back in 2002/3 when some mixes were kicking about somewhere (possibly Audiogalaxy).
Very good DJ/producer in a similar vein to DJ Yoda (but with less scratching). Quite a few mixes out there, and also some X v's Y tracks.
A smart mix-up of whistling samples DJ Riko - Whisltler's Delight (http://www.djriko.com/music/DJRiko-WhistlersDelight(Prank%20Monkey).mp3)
A couple of good ones...
Dj Riko - Free For All (http://www.djriko.com/music/DJ%20Riko%20-%20Free%20For%20All%20Mix%20(2003).mp3)
DJ Riko - Gilding the Lily (http://www.bmbx.org/podpress_trac/web/33/0/DJ_Riko_-_Gilding_the_Lily.mp3)
...but they're all pretty good (and free) so check 'em out. (http://www.themixingbowl.org/image/smilies/dancin.gif)
Most of his mixes are available at b00mb0x (http://www.bmbx.org/category/dj-riko/) which has some other gems hidden in amongst the crap (particularly good mixers who post stuff there are mwude and bongdevil).

This is gonna blow em away when its released in September:

Due out on Monday. (http://www.juno.co.uk/products/325710-02.htm) And although it still sounds good... (http://www.juno.co.uk/playlists/builder/dcb3631670571985c480b6d0866fa08a.m3u)
...I'm tending to prefer another Monday release: Various - Juice Blender 2 (Citrus Recordings) (http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/328920-01.htm). I liked the first compilation and I like the sound of this one too (http://www.juno.co.uk/playlists/builder/768b549c796949550deaaf18354cd727.m3u) - phat, techy DnB with immediate appeal.

Incase I haven't mentioned this before but one of the best hiphop albums of all time is:

Thanks for Jools Holland I've discovered some really nice blues by Seasick Steve. He was on the show last week and you can catch it on iplayer if you're in the UK and you act fast. He seemed like a genuinely humble guy who's had an interesting life and his music sounds good, so it's win/win. His latest album is called "I started out with nothing and I still got most of it left" which is a funny name with much deeper implications. I'd suggest that you find/buy/steal/download this album. Google gave me a download link within 30 seconds of looking but I'm not going to provide a direct link (because I'm not sure if UKB then becomes liable).
Enjoy the album. It's great.
There's also a bunch of videos on vimeo, so here's one to get you started;

Discovered Ubran Gorilla have a few live mixes and DJ sets available here (http://www.urban-gorilla.co.uk/index.php?option=com_docman&Itemid=44).
Some better than others, and whether they're Funky and f-f-f-f-f-ffffresh enough will be a matter of taste but they're all free.

Things that have got me excited recently:
Techno from a few years back:
Joey Beltram - Live @ Womb (http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/180378-01.htm)
I always remember Joey Beltram for an interview he did in the Eternity rave magazine many years back, in which this techno purist soundly dissed and dismissed the upcoming sounds of hardcore and gabber (incidentally I got a good laugh out of John Peel subsequently playing one of JB's tracks at the - unsurprising - wrong speed, thus sounding somewhat like gabber itself). So he's piqued my curiosity and this CD satisfies it rather - high octane party techno with some good clubby tracks and some good darker ones.
Drum'n'bass from a few weeks in the future:
Break - Symmetry (http://www.htfr.com/more-info/MR275297)
Break is the sound of proper pure DnB - deep, bassy, well-produced phat phlavas with no superfluous bullshit. The above page has the LP samples, there's a mix CD of the album due on the 24th. Can't wait.
-
For those fans of electronica:
(http://weirdcore.com/Weirdcore/Weirdcore_files/_weirdcore%20web%20cover.jpg) (http://www.weirdcore.com)
Quality Icelandic electronica/drum & bass from such names as Ruxpin (of Covert Operations fame), Biogen, Skurken and Plastik. Best of all it's free!

Wasn't really sure where to put this but it's a bit music-y so here goes. Just been discussing the grumpy genius of Tom Paulin on Late Review in the mid-late '90s, just found this clip of them reviewing REM's 'New Adventures...'
Worth a watch for Tony Parsons calling Micheal Stipe a 'pretentious wanker', but even better Tom Paulin's comparison of the album to condensed soup, his eye-rolling dismissal of both REM and Oasis' lyrics and to top it off his description of Micheal Stipe's voice as 'fake Dylan'. Class.

Holy FILTH, Batman! (http://www.juno.co.uk/playlists/builder/78471e85890e3e1cb3aafd02068f31c6.m3u)
C4C have never really impressed me, minimal and entirely unmemorable techstep-by-numbers characterising most of their many releases. But with this album (http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/337863-01.htm) they've dropped a fine, relentless slab of rollin' neuro-funk dirt, in fact I'd even say they've outdone Noisia on that front. Ordered.
-
Word to that Fiend. According to Andi_enumbers they are playing in Leeds in January. Should be good. :dance1: Incidentaly, it was a awesome free Mixmag cd with one of their tracks (Moongerm) on that got me into DnB. It was the training soundtrack back in 2003.

Anyone heard the new Sea and Cake Album yet? Can't find anywhere to listen online at work.

To answer my onw question - went into 1-Up at lunchtime. Now own it. Sounds as good as Everybody on first listens. Marvellous.

I just looked them up because they had a nice sounding name, they sound alright for indie!

Mary Anne Hobbs last night had a great mix from N-Type - first hour was like old skool d&b, I thought I was listening to an old rave tape. Quality. Listen again folks....
WADDAGE!! Great mix, takes me back.
Is there anyway I can record this? It would make for a great training soundtrack.
Is it just me or is this Mary Anne Hobbs always talking in between a bit annoying. I had never heard of themixingbowl before but it's very nice. The dnb essential mix from london elektricity (2008-11-8) is extremely good too. Much more my kind of thing then the N-type mix.

I found her speaking in this mix far more annoying than when I used to listen to her old show the Breezeblock (some stunning mixes from this era by the way on the Mixing Bowl). Its the drawn out drawl that makes her sound as though she's on a premium rate sex line as opposed to presenting a radio show.

:thumbsup: another convert, tons of good stuff there, just make sure you maintain a decent ratio, otherwise you'll get booted.

I found the N-Type mix interesting as it was a journey from old skool Jungle via UK Garage to modern Dubstep. It's not going to float your boat if you're after modern Drum & Bass.
I do like London Electricity as well - there's an old Breezeblock mix of theirs which is good.
At least Mary Anne doesn't talk during mixes, only before and after, which is better than Pete Tong who keeps interrupting the Essential Mix. Are you guys listening to the whole show or just the mix?
She does sound like she's got permanently soggy knickers for dubstep though, poor love :lol:

Can't wait to check out the video as I think they've the recording of Belfast from 2002 was the one at the Jazz Stage when the luminous ship passed along the back of the crowd playing weird jazz music (no it wasn't the acid, this particular apparition was independantly verified by sober(er) friends!).

Anyone for some DUBSTEP? (http://www.numbernin6.com/introduction/NumberNin6%20-%20A%20Formal%20Introduction.mp3)?
-
That's a poor advertisement for dubstep.
Check out Aaron Spectre, Warlock, and if you're connected, Charlton.
-
That's a poor advertisement for dubstep.
I couldn't disagree more. Without invoking some sort of quantum logic and fractal opining, that is. I'm really enjoying every moment of this, more than any dubstep I've previously heard.

I am liking Fever Ray (http://feverray.com/) a lot this morning...
(http://www.feverray.com/wp-content/themes/fever_ray_1.0/images/cover.gif)
And the new Mastodon (http://mastodonrocks.com) album is brilliant.
-
Loving The Whitest Boy Alive - Rules. If you like cheesy Euro Electropop (uncool though it may be) then check it out.
-
The recent Architects album is really really good. Really.
-
Been listening to and have also bought Unkle - War stories. Great album
-
It's great - listened it non-stop crusing around SW USA when it came out.
-
This isn't a thread I frequent, so apologies if this is a repeat, but just discovered kitty, daisy and lewis (http://www.myspace.com/kittydaisyandlewis). Roots, country, etc. check it out.

Anyone else see Paolo Nutini on Later last night? Blew me away. Thought his first album was shit, but this shows serious promise.
-
Now on the iplayer (http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00kdtq4/Later_Live..._with_Jools_Holland_Series_34_Episode_5/). Skip to 10:00 unless you're a masochist.
Edit: actually you probably have to sit through the first ten minutes for this to blow you away. Still a great performance.

Got some great music recently..
Lee Perry feat Samia Farah vs Kode 9 'Yellow Tongue' - a dubstep/tech house hybrid.
youtube version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQs4za4eMcE)
I got it on vinyl but I'm sure Boomkat or elsewhere have it on mp3.
The Yellow Moon Band (http://www.myspace.com/theyellowmoonband) Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World. Instrumental pysch/folk/prog but with a errr I dunno uplifting screamadelica kind of feel to it. Ace stuff and nice Summer Music. I also got a 12" remix of three of the tracks that are more driving and dancy.. proper summertime :dance1: Those of you going to the Green Man will hopefully see them live.
The Horrors (http://thehorrors.co.uk/) Primary Colours. Garage/psych pop in a Phil Spector/Jesus and Mary Chain vibe. The new single Who Can Say is really good.
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZvVxGG1pn0)
The latest Theo Parrish (http://www.myspace.com/soundsignature) sound siganture 12"'s. An acquired taste for sure and the master of super deep minimal house music. If you like proper old house Mr Fingers etc then Theo will float your boat.. his mix CD's are a mash of deep filtered old disco classics and his own minimal slow thumpers. His own 12", albums and 3 Chairs collaborations with Moodyman and Rick Whilite are the 8) shit...
-
Saw 'Hockey' on Jools Holland a few weeks ago, im not usually into that kind of music but loved the energy and big bass lines.
I recon their gonna be big after their album is launched end of August!

Not really funky, nor fresh but no other appropriate thread and I can't be arsed starting a new one.
Really enjoyed listening to last nights You Heard it at the Movies : Animation (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00k8gbl) all about music scores for cartoons whilst driving back from Stoney last night.
Great the way the music evokes cartoon imagery in your head 8) and the click track thing is very clever.

If you like Stars of the Lid, you'll like this.
Genre: ambient/drone
Liking the sound of that - looks like it could be an expensive recommendation after putting it into Amazon as there is apparently a new Stars of the Lid album out as well as a release from the other member of SOTL under the name The Dead Texan.
For those who like their drones a bit heavier there is a new Erstlaub release (http://www.movingfurniturerecords.com/) available - limited to the usual 100 copies.

Just discovered Susumu Yokota's Grinning Cat album which is really blowing me away at the minute. Sounds a bit like 4 Tet (who I suspect he was a major influence for) but is a bit less cohesive overall.
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31ERAM0GDVL._SL500_AA240_.jpg)
A great album for the sunny weather we are experiencing at the minute.
-
Good album BB...
Sakura & The Boy and The Tree are also good, very mellow almost ambient background music. He's also a prolific house producer recording under his own name so it can be a bit of a surprise to buy another CD like Magic Thread which is very different from the three already mentioned.
-
Sakura & The Boy and The Tree are also good, very mellow almost ambient background music.
Sakura was the album that had been recommended to me as being the one to go for but I found Grinning Cay on Ebay for 4 delivered so went for the cheap option to see what it was like. It's currently on its third rotation today - that's how impressed I am by it!
He's also a prolific house producer recording under his own name so it can be a bit of a surprise to buy another CD like Magic Thread which is very different from the three already mentioned.
Just read the review of Magic Thread on Amazon and it sounds like something else that will have to be added to the list along with the other two recommendations. ;D

This weeks essential mix is some dubstep dj called Caspa. I dont think I like dubstep, but I havent turned this off yet. T+35mins is a good tune. You will find it on the iPlayer until Friday.

I wasn't aware there was a new Mr Scruff album out till there was a sample tune with M$ 7, any way I have dl'd it and it sounds promising after a scan listen, might be a buy'er

Got a nice lil GoodGroove Records DJ promo recently, James Brown Regrooved; pretty much as described, some great interpretations though (cos remixes can so often be shit and / or so way off from the original that they might as well not be remixes, IMO), so I rather like it - and it's all over the internet for free downloads now so I'd recommend a Google, some nice little bangers on it.....

Cool, cheers for that FD.
But what format is .m4a? Its some iTunes/iPod bastardisation of the mp3 format isn't it? On an M$-Windoze computer here so should be able to get it playing, but will look into converting it at home for continued listening pleasure. Others might get stumped by it though.
-
God knows... I didn't realise it wasn't MP3. Let me try and convert it and I'll repost...
-
Sounds very interesting FD - will download and report back.
-
Liking this a lot - what is the track that you are starting to mix in at about the 17 minute mark - it's sweet!
-
Gah! Failed download from file.me, had the same problem yesterday with hOUD's latest techno offering, suspect its work trying to piss me off, will have to try at home later.

Good stuff, I love dropping some Fennesz in a set!
I really should study track listings more - had completely missed that! The only Fennesz I own is the Venice album - will have to dig that out and listen to it again now that I have been reminded of it. Any tips on his other works from those in the know?
-
Venice is ok but I much prefer Endless Summer. Field Recordings 199whenever-200whenever is also quite good, but Endless Summer is the best by far!
-
Another vote for Endless Summer from me. It's his pop album and certainly the most accesible. There's another that's good with Mika Vaino but it's more of a noise/doom/merzbow thing and a bit of a challenge.
-
The Magic Sound of Fenn O'Berg is also a very nice album, the first time I heard Shinjuku Baby pt. 1 I was amazed, I love the xylophone loops they use!

It's had some cracking reviews and haven't got to a record shop to purchase a copy...
-
do people still go to shops to buy stuff?
-
Yup. Gives me something to do in town at lunch.
-
Just listening to the remastered 20th anniversary edition of The Stone Roses on Spotify. Nice to hear new life breathed into something I know so well I'd almost stopped listening to.
-
Is the remaster really that different?
-
If you know the original, you'll hear a difference. The remastered demos are markedly different, well worth a listen (disc 3 on the collector's edition).
-

Blimey, I thought I was archaic for actually purchasing CDs, at least I have the decency to order them online.
On the subject of which, those after soulful, upbeat and pretty well produced (if annoyingly slightly above tempo) DnB in a vaguely Big Bud styleee could do a lot worse than this. (http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/364237-01.htm)

MAH's Old Skool Garage special from this Tuesday night was fucking great. Available at The Mixing Bowl, etc.

Just sat and listened to Jim O'Rourke's new album/single piece The Visitor and it's beautiful.
Longer review on my blog. (http://benssimpleblog.wordpress.com/2009/09/03/the-visitor/)
-
Nice review FD, made me excited with anticipation of hearing that one... will report back when I have :)
I'm just having a nice evening playing my own post rock style relaxation soundtrack; it's like I never left Stars of the Lid and am still doing session work for Kranky: In B flat (http://www.inbflat.net)
Clever and rather enjoyable ;D
-
Also tonight - been absorbing a pre-release of what turns out to be quite a stunning new work by Benn Jordan (aka The flashbulb among other things) which is a rather splendid, lush fingerpicked guitar epic with some lovely instrumental sweeps and overlaid bits of production; apparently a single piece, divided into 4 tracks for the release. Not at all what I had expected from a somewhat eclectic purveyor of electronica; and all the better for it - a wonderfully diverse talent giving rise to a beautiful soundscape....
-
What's that release called UG? Is it released under "Benn Jordan"?
-
Useful info would help eh?
It's under Benn Jordan - 'Louisiana Mourning'. Googling reveals a few blog links....

Local independent CD shop actually has some guys who are into music and recommend some good stuff. Better than reading Amazon reviews, nothing like personal touch.

In B flat
Arrghh this is amazing, and I've got work to do. Loving the spoken word guy and the glass accordion.
-
Not sure if this has been mentioned already, but I'm loving this Scottish band called the Phantom Band. Check this track off their new(ish) album:
The Phantom Band - Folksong Oblivion (Unofficial) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSNq7DX8-4I#)
"...I can't see for the mountain silhouette..."
-
Brilliant new free of charge download 4 track EP from Si Begg 24 bit error collection (http://www.sibegg.com/24bit/download.html) really 8)
He's gone for the Radiohead model so all 4 tracks are available for free for download (in full WAV format) and you can cough up for a luxury boxed set that comes with all source material on DVD for remixing and lots of other tangible goodies.

Aye one and the same. Not moved far though, lives over in Meersbrook with new g/friend (Emily). Thebands practice room is spitting distance from CCC/Brammal Lane football ground. Not sure The Grapes is a massive step up from the Broady either, but they've done a few gigs in other cities I believe and getting their act together with laying down tracks etc.
(Complete aside, but if you and/or dave remember going to Caley Roadside with Paul and some other random guy, well that was me, would have been about five or six years ago now though so wouldn't be surprised if you don't remember. Also bouldered with you all at Cratcliffe that time Scouse span his car on the road outside Bakewell and knackered the wheels on his white Proton, was around the same time).
-
fuck. my memory is terrible. I can barely remember where I climbed yesterday (cratcliffe?).

Just checked out Kryptic Minds - One Of Us (http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/368556-01.htm) and I think it's going to have to be my next purchase. Consistent, deep, and haunting dubstep
-
For a bargain bucket of Dubstep you can't go wrong with 5 years of Hyperdub (http://www.myspace.com/hyperdub) from that label. 1 cd of classics from Burial, Kode9 et al and another CD of fresh fodder hot off the press. Some of the new stuff like 'Aidy's girl is a computer' by Darkstar is brilliant.

Just got this on 12" today and absolutely lovin' it.

Can confirm this is pretty p1mp stuff - manages to be chilled out and dark and rude at the same time. Not poppy dubstep.

Very moody and deep. Absolutely top of the bill business as you'd expect from someone who's been in the production game for so long. He's playing on friday in Leeds if you're keen...

Yep saw a bit of them when they supported Orbital on 23rd September in Sheffield. They were ok, but didn't really do much to interest me, but then I was in the frame of mind for Orbital (they didn't disappoint...

Boomkat 14 tracks (http://) are a series of download compilations that explore different genres or themes. Great value for money and good way to listen to artists rather than having to wade through loads of stuff.
Lately I've been enjoying:
Dynamic Steppers (http://14tracks.com/selections/82-14_tracks_dynamic_steppers) where Dubstep, Techno and Drum and Bass collide. Some really interesting stuff on this one from Kryptic Minds, Breakage, Monolake, DBridge, Data and Shackleton among others.
Re-wiring UK Garage (http://14tracks.com/selections/66-14_tracks_re_wiring_uk_garage) Dubstep and techno producers revisiting the UK Garage template and keeping the funkiness and jettisoning the cheese.
Opening up UK Funky (http://14tracks.com/selections/63-14_tracks_opening_up_uk_funky) I hadn't got a clue what UKF personified so took a gamble and was really surprised. This stuff is basically a house rhythm and bpm template but written by Grime and Dubstep producers so really funky, fun and not at all menacing or headnodding. Kode9, Dark Night, Karisma...

I only discovererd DMST a couple of months ago. The new one is good but I definitely prefer And Yet and Yet and Goodbye Enemy Airship. Any other recommendations from the back catalogue? Currently can't get enough of Dirty Three's Ocean Songs
-
The two you mention are probably the best of their stuff but the eponymous first album is up their with those two IMO and gets played just as much as Goodbye Enemy Airship... on my stereo. Disco & Haze is the stand out track on there for me but the rest of the album is close to being as good - I really can't see you being disappointed with it.
With regard to the new album - according to Constellation's blurb the new album is apparently full of "vintage Do Make Say Think" but the reviews of their own releases always read as being the most essential thing ever recorded to media. One suspects they could get me to buy a Jedward record if they released it (thankfully unlikely) but I will review it when it arrives from Canada.

Piccadilly Records in Manchester runs a great album of the year list that always has stuff worth buying in time for Christmas. Here's the Top 100 Albums of 2010 (http://www.piccadillyrecords.com/shop/feature.php?feature=628) from them.
-
Lists like that always intimidate me, not sure where to start?? I've only heard of about 10 of the bands. The XX seem to get good reviews everywhere, might need to give them another go, was distinctly underwhelmed by the last listen though.
-
I've never heard of 'em either so just tend to take a punt on some which I like the sound of and am mostly pleasantly surprised. I know what you mean though when you see them all in a long list. It can be a bit intimidating.
-
I see cowboyhat (http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php?action=profile;u=250) made it in at number 23 :P
Actually heard at least one of them as the "Fuck Buttons" is something my friend had the other week on the way to the crag.
-
One of the few I have heard, it's pretty good.
-
Fuck Buttons are indeed rather good - my copy was given to me by an incarcerated friend but I must get around to purchasing a legit copy. About the only other things I noted of interest in there was the new Lindstrom and Prinz Thomas album II and something by Lindstrom and Christabelle which looks rather good.

I'm at home today and it's surprising how much of the Piccadilly List is on Spotify... so far have enjoyed the Wilco, Fever Ray and Dam Funk albums

Not sure if this is funky or fresh, but it is damn funny...one of R-Kelly's new tracks.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is "Pregnant" - a friend played my this on the basis that it sounds like Flight Of The Concords doing a piss-take of R-Kelly. Love the backing vocals on the chorus.
R.Kelly - Pregnant (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fkbxxe5StKM#)

Isn't that part of his Rap Opera "Trapped in the Closet"

Used to be invite, but as far as I remember they've had membership open for some time now, although they may have temporarily closed it whilst free leech is in effect. :-\
There's at least one user who registered on the 23rd December 2009, but that was before Free Leech started.

On the back of this:
Anyway, my recommendation:
(http://cdn.pitchfork.com/media/9766-eingya.jpg)
Helios - Eingya
After hearing a remix by Stray (http://soundcloud.com/straydnb/helios-first-dream-called-ocean-stray-remix) of one fo the tunes on this album, I decided to buy it. It has a beautiful cover- a good start. Pop it in the CD player, sit back and let the audial tide wash over your toes dipping in the sea of atmospheric, ambient, pure and natural, earthy sounding electronica. I recommend this. Get it, got it? Good.
I checked out this (http://soundcloud.com/_type/) and discovered some beautiful, deep and thoughtful music. I recommend you get on there. Highlights include Logreybeam and Sickoakes, not to mention other Helios albums and other things like Black to Comm and Grouper. Checkity check.

Check out Cee-Roo, really good stuff.

Really like the four tet mix. It wasn't like I expected it would be at all, but in a good way. :dance1:

Midlake The Courage of Others
Excellent album. Probably in the same genre as Bon Ivor and Fleet Foxes, whatever that might be. Check out Fortune and Rulers Ruling all Things for best sample of what is on offer. Dark, pastoral, prog-folk?
-
On a par with Trials of Van Occupanther?
-
It's more my sort of thing than ToVO, though I like both albums. It is more folky but less diverse.

I have recently been listening to lots of stuff on tribal vision records, and I have to say it is one of the most consistently good quality record labels I have come across. Most of the music is brilliant. The music is mainly a blend of techno - prog house - psytrance.

Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip (http://www.myspace.com/lesacvspip) have a new album out and I reckon it's even better than the first. More anger than the last one, less personal tales and more rants about the state of the country (along with plenty of their usual positivity and a Billy Bragg reference for good measure). The beats are harder and more dance orientated too, especially the originally named The Beat. I think their current single is this gloriously uplifting track: Get Better (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEitrZU-nCw#ws)
And if you haven't heard them before, check this out: Thou Shalt Always Kill (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoN6XfyQsr4#)
Saw them live the other week in Liverpool and it was possibly the best gig I've ever been to. Really impressive vocal performance from Pip and truly excellent beats from le Sac; he messed with their previous material in a really nice way too. The support act was an American rapper called B Dolan (http://www.myspace.com/bernarddolan) and he was very good too, even if the track about Joan of Arc using a crucifix as a dildo was a bit odd...
-
Cool name, bit soppy for me, girl with the pink hair though nom nom nom.
-
Yeah I know what you mean about the soppiness of Get Better. Ironically much of their other stuff is about self harm, suicide etc. Check out this for rather less soppiness: Angles (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkvWOAJeZmM#)

No but on a related note, I got two tickets for Ian Brown + friends at Platt Fields on the 11th June. He's playing plus Bad Lieutenant (Bernard Sumner's band) with Hooky and Mike Pickering DJ'ing. Should be a fun evening out... tickets still on Sale if anyone else is interested.
-
Not sure about the Scroobius Pip thing, was trying to get into the new album earlier and couldn't, the whole thing reminds me a bit too much of this, I guess it would help if I liked dance music of any sort.

Not sure about the Scroobius Pip thing, was trying to get into the new album earlier and couldn't, I guess it would help if I liked dance music of any sort.
I guess that would be a limiting factor, kind of like eating a sandwich when you don't like bread.
-
I wonder - and this is not directed at Stubbs - whether it is possible for anyone to truthfully say these days "I don't like dance music" given the vast breadth of music that encompasses?
-
I didn't know what the right name for this sort of dance music was! I'm good with hip hop and rock genres, but the difference between a lot of the dance music ones still confuse me. You're right though Fiend I do like a bit of dubstep and some d&b.
Ben to carry the anaology a little further I'm no so keen on the sandwich filling either, and I like hip hop.
-
Ben to carry the anaology a little further I'm no so keen on the sandwich filling either
Yeah don't you know he only eats nuts? Oh and seeds. Nuts and seeds. "Nut and seed sandwich with a side of tofu for the freak".
(that's my hotmail fucked for the rest of the week)
-
Ben to carry the anaology a little further I'm no so keen on the sandwich filling either, and I like hip hop.
So you don't like the bread, you don't like the filling, but you like the wrapper? (That one was too good to miss)
I don't know what kind of music it would be categorised; there's such a range of sounds on the album. Like Fiend says, dance music encompasses so much these days and in its own modest way, this album demonstrates exactly that. Not exactly dance music, but dance music through and through. If you get me.
-
Yeah the packaging is appealling, I try and listen to new british hip hop to see if I find anything I like as much as the american I'm into. No luck yet!
Jas prepare for some serious fail whale time!
-
It's worse than that. The vegans have attacked UKB!
-
Stubbs, out of interest what US hiphop are you into? Just interested as I don't listen to masses of hiphop but am a bit of a fan of that stuff I do listen to. The only US stuff that I've got is generally from well known/popular artists like Nas, J5, Mos Def etc.
On the popular UK side, I guess you've tried people like Format (admittedly with a Canadian rapper), Manuva, Sway etc?
-
ASPECTS!!
Also the Mark B and Blade album was really pretty good.
-
Good shout there re: Aspects. Got a few of their tracks, but no long players. I'll check the Mark B and Blade stuff though. Any recommendations Fiend?
-
Check out Giggs for some quality new grime/hip hop, it may be a little heavy for you if you're into the lighter end of hip hop. If you're into the grime thing at all, I'd recommend Kano's Home Sweet Home, one of my favourite albums of all time.
For the U.S stuff, I listen to a lot of dirty south, which isn't to a lot of people's tastes; stuff like Slim Thugg, Birdman, Three 6 Mafia, David Banner, etc. If you can find the Ratatat remix albums you might be into them, as it's a lot of Hip Hop tunes remixed with more electro style beats.
If you're into the New York stuff like Nas my first choices would be Mobb Deep, Cormega and Gangstarr (although I'm sure you must have heard some of their stuff).
Cormega - Beautiful Mind (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjeTSa4E6FI#)
I'm not really into J5 but Dilated Peoples have a similar sound and are pretty good. If you Like Mos Def Assume you've checked out Talib Kweli? You might also want to check out Jean Grae, awesome NY female mc.
Obviously I assume you've listened to Reasonable Doubt and Ready to Die!
hth if all that is already old news to you then I'll try and come up with some more choices.
-
Aspects - Correct English
Mark B & Blade - The Unknown
However by far my favourite rappers are Canadian - Swollen Members. Get Balance, Bad Dreams, and Black Magic. Dope beats and dark rhymes.
-
Swollen Members High Road (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bF7pxZAV9KM#)
Swollen Members - Lady Venom (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPIVTRD_iKU&feature=related#ws)
swollen members - So Deadly (Feat. Evidence) - Black Magic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLyrtLb9bT4&feature=related#)
swollen members - Prisoner Of Doom - Black Magic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMedf-cg1RY&feature=related#)

just thought i'd point out that the most recent resi advisor podcast is from carl craig. nice.
-
From da Westside (i.e. USA) The Roots (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Roots) are worth checking out too on the 'ip-'op front
And from da Eastside (i.e. UK) MC Pitman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MC_Pitman) is brilliant :dance1:
-
Some good recommendations there, thanks. Some I knew of, some not. Apart from the Pitman shout. Sorry Slackline, never been a fan. But thanks all the same.
-
Had a listen to the Dan le Sac vs Scroobius first album the other day and wasn't really feeling it, finding the lyrics often too self-righteous, I suppose he is saying what a lot of other bands are saying but I guess it just came over in a needlessly pretentious way.
As for US hiphop you may like Murs, he did an amazing vocal over Chase and Status' mad house but some of his solo stuff is good too. Also Zion I are a good bay area hiphop band, both albums being worth listening to. Supernatural has got an amazing flow, kind of on a J5 tip I guess. I had some of his stuff on vinyl but not sure if he ever released an album. You should also definately try to see him live, he was world freestyle champion for ages and can rap like biggie/snoop etc, great live show.
From the UK i guess you're already wise to Braintax, it's politically driven hiphop from Yorkshire way, some of the tunes are a little obsolete as they focus on Bush and the invasion of Iraq/Afganistan but still pretty good. Jehst is good from the UK, Under the weather is a great track. Blak Twang as well, rotten being a classic tune.
I had an amazing hour long mix of DJ Premier beats with Biggie, Nas and Big-L accapella's mixed over them if you'd like me to burn you a copy. Dunno if you're into those three but those 4 exemplify hiphop at it's best for me.

FAO all hiphop fans:
You MUST get hold of Swollen Members - Armed To The Teeth (http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/371867-01.htm?highlight=SWOLLEN MEMBERS ARMED TO THE TEETH). It is f***ing fantastic. Swollens' previous albums (Balance, Bad Dreams, Heavy, Monsters In The Closet & Black Magic) have all been great but this is the next level for sheer dopeness. The beats are so PHAT they make Sloper look anorexic, and then you get to track 13 - Flyest and holy f***ing bass it's outrageous (don't listen to this unless you have a good system it's a waste). Only downside is that the lyrics are less creative and more gangsta than before but the sheer phlava and catchy choruses make up for it. It's pretty much like Swollen have incorporated the best bits of Ludacris and Eminem. I've just started the 4th play of the CD in a row....just get it okay.
:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:
-
It's pretty much like Swollen have incorporated the best bits of Ludacris and Eminem.
so its shit then ;), Ludacris is a fuckin joke and the last good thing Eminem put out was before he was signed, on the promo Infinite, and maybe a couple of scraps here and there. Hip hop without good lyrycs is pointless in my opinion, ganster rap is a cancer on the goodness that is hip hop. I will check them out later though.
-
Hush your chops, I'm not a fan of gangsta rap per se but neither am I snobby about it, it has it's good bits and shouldn't be dismissed just like that.
-
I never used to be able to work out why I didn't like Swollen Members, then I found out they were from Vancouver and that explained a lot.
Oh yeah, I am snob about hip-hop, sorry.

Walls - Walls
Perhaps continuing the crossover legacy left by The Field, Walls represent one of Kompakt's most interesting forays outside of ██▓▓
██▓▓ the label's traditional techno heartland. ██▓▓
██▓▓ This London band combine members from ██▓▓
██▓▓ Allez-Allez and Banjo Or Freakout for an ██▓▓
██▓▓ electronic indie-dance project that seems to ██▓▓
██▓▓ pull out influences from classic krautrock, ██▓▓
██▓▓ disco, ambient electronica and even modern ██▓▓
██▓▓ psych-pop travellers like Animal Collective. ██▓▓
██▓▓ 'Burnt Sienna' opens the record in anthemic, ██▓▓
██▓▓ quasi-Balearic fashion, taking on a subdued ██▓▓
██▓▓ tempo but a luscious free-flowing sense of ██▓▓
██▓▓ melody. Shifting into an almost tropical ██▓▓
██▓▓ mode, 'Hang Four' fleshes out some ██▓▓
██▓▓ scrunched, atmospheric rhythmic loops with ██▓▓
██▓▓ blissful, reverbed guitars - all of which ██▓▓
██▓▓ add to a fresh, summery feel. Late into the ██▓▓
██▓▓ album 'Gaberdine' arrives with vocals, ██▓▓
██▓▓ raising one of the most pronouncedly ██▓▓
██▓▓ pop-geared dancefloor moments and setting up ██▓▓
██▓▓ the weirdo Paw Tracks-style vibes of closer ██▓▓
██▓▓ 'Austerlitz Wide Open'. ██▓▓
██▓▓

Went to see Leftfield on Sunday at the O2 in Sheffield. Fucking brilliant gig, although nowhere near as loud as when I saw them at the Octagon back in 2000 (could be down to not having two huge stacks of bassbins at the back of the venue this time). Still brilliant though.
A few vids from others who were there....

Anyone care to write an idiots guide to embedding iplayer? Is it restricted to certain files by the beeb?
-
Anyone care to write an idiots guide to embedding iplayer? Is it restricted to certain files by the beeb?
T'is a mystery to me, embed a link t a news page and it will automagically embed the player, no idea about the rules.
How to do it using html (http://videotuts.wordpress.com/2009/01/17/embed-bbc-iplayer-content/) but thats not much use on these BBcode forums.
Simple Machines Forums has some a post about an add-on that will embed lots of video, including iPlayer (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=200401.0) but an admin would have to install that it may not be deisrable as it could screw everything else (YouTube/Vimeo/pictures) up (although it may be the Aeva plugin thats already installed and allows the simple pasting of the URL for YouTube and Vimeo already).
-
Yep, Aeva is already installed. Might needs some tweaking to allow iPlayer, not sure.

Been listening to the Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse album (http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010/jul/08/danger-mouse-sparklehorse-dark-night-of-the-soul-cd-review). Pretty nice and, at times, haunting stuff.
Interesting collaboration, and nice to see it finally out, particularly since Mark Linkous (Sparklehorse) took his own life earlier in the year. This (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot-Sparklehorse/dp/B000002TWZ) was one of the albums for the 90s for me.

"This is one side of a mix tape that was sold in Manchester's Funky Banana record shop in 1992. I only did 20 copies, so it is about time that more people heard this mix!

Hedonism by Bellowhead should be considered essential listening. Traditional lyrics rearranged with a big band sort of feel.
In the same vein by no means fresh or needing any introduction but I listened to Sigh No More by Mumford and Sons today and was blown away. Superb.

After seeing Life Cycles I've had this in my head, finally cracked and downloaded the album, first impressions are pretty good.
The track is "Ghosted" by Data Romance. The only version on the internets that I can find is as the Life Cycles trailer which is pretty awesome in its own right:
Life Cycles - Stance Films - OFFICIAL 2010 Mountain Bike Trailer 1080p (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJgaSTuwp7I#ws)

A few reasonably mainstream releases I was unaware of;
Broken Bells - Meyrin Fields EP. Not as good as the album but still good.
Guillemots - Walk by the River. So far pretty good. Not as good as the first album, but better than Red.
Gorillaz - The Fall. Loving this. Not really a Gorillaz album, feels more like a Damon Albarn solo album (with another great Bobby Womack vocal thrown in). Some blisteringly good tracks and a couple of duff and pretty pointless (skip The Speak it Mountains & Seattle Yodel for example).
Can listen here http://thefall.gorillaz.com/ (http://thefall.gorillaz.com/)

For those who can't be arsed with torrenting them from somewhere like The Mixing Bowl (http://www.themixingbowl.org) you can grab All Essential Mixes on Soundcloud (http://soundcloud.com/das-boy/sets/essential-mix/).
Some absolutely brilliant sets from over the years, old David Holmes techno, Chemical Brothers first outing under that name (after having to change from Dust Brothers to avoid conflict with the US duo), Howie B, Andy C set is brilliant, more recently Gui Borratto.
-
Was a bit hasty with that last recommendation, you can't actually download them from Soundcloud, although you can listen to all the back catalogue.
Just came across Allez Allez (http://zellazella.blogspot.com) that has a fair old mix of sets for free download.

Just found this so thought I'd share - if anyone remembers the days of the "One In The Jungle" Radio 1 shows back in the mid to late 90s, here's a site that's got an archive of the programmes complete with clickable download links for a good few of them:

Anyone got any Dubstep CD recommendations?? I like stuff that's got deep bass and a mixture of musical/atmospheric stuff and wibbly wobbly dancefloor stuff.
CDs I've liked so far:
Skream - Rinse 02
Skream - Watch The Ride (like this for dancefloor stuff)
Kryptic Minds - One Of Us
Kryptic Minds - Can't Sleep (like this for chilled out stuff)
I don't like abstract / super minimal / loads of vocally stuff. I don;t like Kode9 and I don't like that CD andi linked above, if that helps?
-
Neither Kode9 or that CD are really dubstep, which is probably why you don't like them. How about some Skull Disco stuff? Soundboy's gravestone gets desecrated by vandals, fabric 55, Mordant Music's Picking O'er the Bones... That should get you started.
-
Soundboy's gravestone gets desecrated by vandals,
Bit too minimal for me, although I like the Appleblim bits.
fabric 55
56 you mean, 55 is Marky ;). Not dubsteppy enough for me.
Mordant Music's Picking O'er the Bones
Bit too minimal again. I think I'm into more traditional dubstep.

Quite like this although some of it is a bit bland....
-
No, Fabric 55. Not Fabriclive 55. I had an idea before but I forgot, sorry. Will try and remember. In the meantime, try Box of Dub (old but amazing).

Imagine most people will have heard of Bonobo after his latest Black Sands album got very popular very quick but if you haven't he's incredible and definitely worth having a look at.

Enjoying some of the more recent mixes from Xhin lots here (http://soundcloud.com/xhin/tracks).
Singapore based electro/techno producer, bio blurb from Resident Advisor...
Xhin (pronounced as "sheen") has been crafting ominous cuts of cutting-edge electronic music since 1997. Building a forte in sound design, he is best described as a sound futurist. His identical rhythmic structure and compositional techniques which incorporate elements of techno, tight sub bass, ambient and IDM delivers a hint of chaotic soundscape amidst artistry. A Singaporean by birth and residence, he independently released "Xycle", a self-promotional ep that made the industry to stand up to take notice, in early 2003. He then followed with his debut album, "Supersonicstate" the following year.
In 2006, his talent has been discovered by a German independent record label Meerestief. With a remix that he has done for Dublin's Five Green Circle's track entitled Ronan's BBQ has created a storm over Europe. Praised, supported and charted by heavy weights from the world of electronic music. Then in 2009, Xhin has found a new home. He joined Berlin's then new techno label, Stroboscopic Artefacts to release his dark, intense and experimental side of things. From the results of his new releases for the label, he has done it again. Heavy rotation from the big boys like Speedy J, Luke Slater, Ben Klock and many more to mention. This will be yet again the beginning of an old new direction for him to explore and experiment sounds even deeper for his future releases.
So what's new and exciting coming out of his bag? A long awaited 3rd album since his 2nd one entitled Greyscale for Meerestief is set to be released on Stroboscopic Artefacts some time in late 2011.

Guy on another forum I post on played a blidingly funky 24hr mix live on the 25th August to raise money for Juvenile Diabetes Research (which his daughter is afflicted with). Grab the two hour torrent here (http://themixingbowl.org/thread/view/118049?gotopost=1140253#1140253) and if you like it and can be arsed sling a couple of quid their way (http://www.justgiving.com/gingersaturday/eurl.axd/cbf3962bca7b8949bd019e5fc03d7518).
Some blindingly good tunes in there, I particularly liked hours 8 through to 10. (http://themixingbowl.org/static/img/smilies/dancin.gif) the "All that Jazz" sample remix is stunning. The earlier reggae Dr Who theme tune was a version I'd not heard before either.

It was a really awesome party full of very happy people; as evidenced by the photos on the Hangar's facebook if anyone's interested. He's keen to play again and hopefully the parties will become a regular (well a couple of times a year anyway) event. A top effort from the Hangar for getting the comp, the bbq and the rave organised.

Rockwell - Detroit (Original Mix) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_ssipmB70A#ws)
Strictly speaking this should be in the fucking amazing dnb thread but I think it's worth posting here as it's a bit fresh, a bit funky, and a bit more mass appeal, hopefully for you techno chaps too :)

I saw them play some awesome gigs way back when I started uni in 2006 when they were playing small venues in Leeds, then lost track of them. I think they used to live next door to some of my coursemates and they crashed a barbecue once! Thanks for the reintroduction!

Aphex Twin has now pulled all the Soundcloud accounts that this unreleased material was released under.
A forward-thinking individual has collected all tracks released and stuck them into a 2gb .zip file.
You can get it here. (https://mega.co.nz/#!f9piEJ7Q!6lCGSd-q2Aa02YEreaMQlwce7YOejlhMF0KI9GEJZdk)
There's some really good stuff in there if you like his stuff, it's not all just filler/2nd rate.
(Most (200+) are 320kbps .mp3, 32 are 128kbps)
<edit>Looks like the Soundcloud accounts are back up, so expect even more Aphexy goodness - still, this is a handy way of getting up to date.</edit>

I got turned on to London based independent collective/record label earlier this year. 22a. Artists include Jeen Bassa, Henry Wu, Tenderlonius, Doe Boy and Ruby Rushton. They all seem to play and do stuff on each other's records.
It's really great and quite varied. Broken beat, mellow hip-hop, Moodymann/T Parrish influnced house and f*cked up U.K. garage. Unfortunately most of it is only on small runs of vinyl from those specialist record shops but you can get some .mp3's on Soundcloud and the usual pay to download outlets.
It's the sort of stuff that would have run off the shelves in sheffield when Mark Jones ran The Store. It's great...

Not really fresh but if you like Nightmares on Wax they've just stuck up THE EXP TAPES 8697 (VOLUMES 18) (https://nightmares-on-wax.bleepstores.com/the-exp-tapes)
Within the tapes are some crew tracks and some instrumental sample based tracks, Which became the foundations of A Word of Science and Smokers Delight etc. I still reference back to these tapes now and again for inspiration. Through these tapes youll hear the seed, birth and ingredients of many N.O.W classics. I feel its time to share these with the world.

I've been quietly plugging away at the old mixing game for years, but I've had a resurgence of enthusiasm in the last few months. I mix progressive house as a main stay, and drift into tech house, house and indie stuff on occasion. My latest offering seems to have been well received by my closest critics, i.e. My good friends. So I've been brave and decided I'd share with UKB to see what folk thought. I'm aware it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I hope some may enjoy it. My braveness coincides with the first few drops of booze I've had this year. Anyhow, here is the link:

Workmate/occasional climbing partner TomA recorded his set from Saturday which was banging. Had serious fun that night then climbed harder than i have in ages the next day! It just goes to show this shit works. Its all the better too for livening up an Oban nightlife that has previously consisted of accordion reels, bad covers of Galway Girl and endless Skippinish.

Thanks for this! I've had this link open as a tab open in my browser for an age and finally got around to listening to this recently.
The stretch from 35m30 to 50mins that roughly contains the following:
The Beat - Mirror In The Bathroom - 2 Tone
Mask - Square Off - Dope Dragon
Sub Focus - Timewarp - Ram Records
Freestyles - Musically Dope (Ganja Kru Remix) - True Playaz
Pendulum - Another Planet - Breakbeat Kaos
Noisia - Facade - Ram Records
Sub Focus - Join The Dots - Ram Records
Haiku D'etat (acappella) - Mike, Aaron & Eddie - Decon
The Prodigy - Voodoo People (Pendulum Remix) - XL
Builds up through a few classics of the era and culminates in the Haiku D'etat sample mix into Pendulum remix of Voodoo People, such an uplifting, joyous vibe! :clap2:
I had to download the mix as an MP3 and cut that section out to have as an offline available file on my phone

3rd one in a series advertised as "The Darkest Dubstep Tracks?", that contrary to anything you might expect from that sort of title, actually genuinely contains dark, and very good and proper dubstep tracks. Highly recommended for mileage sessions at anything where you need morale lifting but not cranking to the max hype.
