I dig your site, always have. Together ...Hi stiles! I dig your site, always have. Together with a friend, I have made http://mixkassett.blogspot.com/.<br />It's a mixtape-blog with self designed mixtapes (on tape). We record the songs to the mixtape, then rip them into mp3 for downloading.<br />Hope it's ok that I link to your site.<br /><br />If you like what you see, maybe you would link back!<br /><br />kvamskykvamskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16588648686751312411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2426277631589590613.post-33754053590787937432010-07-15T20:54:44.387+01:002010-07-15T20:54:44.387+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.kvamskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16588648686751312411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2426277631589590613.post-57212983071237573722010-07-14T19:37:36.464+01:002010-07-14T19:37:36.464+01:00Daniel Lopatin...
Demdike Stare – Trapped Dervish...Daniel Lopatin...<br /><br />Demdike Stare – Trapped Dervish (edit)<br />Jordan Redaelli (of CoConuts) sent this to me a while ago and I hadn’t really wrapped my head around how good it was until recently. Austere techno production vs. Middle Eastern vibes…if ECM had any bananas they’d be putting out records like this. I used just a bit of it to lead into some Faltermeyer, but I’m pretty heavy-into the whole Symbiosis record.<br /><br />Harold Faltermeyer – The Discovery<br />This is the OTHER jammer from Beverly Hills Cop. Almost has a Carpenter-style spaghetti cop movie vibe to it. Carpenter would have put harmonica on it, though, and it woulda been more lo-fi. I like that it doesn’t really have a dancefloor MIDI vibe but is still brutally funky.<br /><br />Asmus Tietchens – Wein Aus Wien<br />Asmus invents coldwave! Even if he didn’t, he did.<br /><br />AG Geige – Gesichter<br />I’m not sure I know too much about AG Geige; probably found this on Mutant Sounds in 2007. I like all the drill sounds and slashy avant guitars over digital marimba. Sounds like root canals with PBS on in the background.<br /><br />Claude Larson – Data Flow<br />Claude Larson is one of those iconic library record synth dudes. Steve Hauschildt (of Emeralds) sent me Digital Landscapes and I got super into it. You can really tell Claude has a taste for the finer things and isn’t afraid to be an emotional man in the world.<br /><br />Alex Cima – Disconcerto<br />Kind of in the same vein as Larson. Can you believe this was on Polydor? Mind you that this came out a full year before The Age Of Plastic (Buggles). Everyone was going nuts for these sci-fi pop suite type albums. “Dancing in space is fun” is kind of the ultimate least-common-denominator thing you can say about space travel. I prefer it to “I’m watching the proles on parade” or whatever.<br /><br />Andreas Vollenweider – Hands and Clouds<br />Andreas Vollenweider is an ’80s MOR hybrid, a smooth jazz/new age harpist. Did you know that the only difference between smooth jazz and new age is CHOPS?<br /><br />Axxess – Dancing Shadows<br />Another Mutant Sounds find. Has a distinctly Peter Baumann flavor to it. I love all the transposing.<br /><br />Rush – Time Stand Still<br />I like to lie and tell people Kate Bush sings on the chorus. Geddy Lee’s Ayn Rand obsession is so creepy.<br /><br />Cleaners From Venus – Drowning Butterflies<br />Taylor (Richardson, Human Teenager/Infinity Window) got me hooked on the whole Martin Newell/Cleaners From Mars axis. I am a Robyn Hitchcock fan, and perhaps more generally an ’80s jangle power-pop fan. So this wasn’t a far stretch for me, but there’s something so much more rewarding about Martin’s lyrics and arrangements. It’s just bursting with everything he’s got. Sorry about the vinyl skip.<br /><br />Dennis Wilson – Moonshine<br />IMHO Moonshine is the only unfuckwithable track off of Pacific Ocean Blue. Lost love jam + super fat synth bass. Awesome.<br /><br />Autechre – See on See<br />My favorite cut from Oversteps. I like that fine line between dissonance and harmony that Autechre plays with. I don’t even know if they are like “trained musicians” or not (I’m not), but there’s a heavy serialist vibe to their sound that appeals to me. Also I like the super pure digi synth drift they get on this track. Sounds like an old Wavestation patch or something like that. Tasteful.<br /><br />Flying Lotus – Zodiac Shit<br />FlyLo’s new album is FBO: FOR-BLAZERS-ONLY. A true auteur on the rise.<br /><br />Jim Ferraro – On Air (edit)<br />This is James’ new jam—Olde English Spelling Bee is putting this out. 808 State-style tropical asymmetry in your face.<br /><br />Brian Bennett & Dave Lawson – Proud Industries<br />Library jam for the grand finish.
