What are you listening to?

lately been listening to:

M83 - Hurry Up, We're Dreaming (Pop/Shoegaze)
Purl - A Quiet Wakening
Maps & Diagrams - Get Lost (both pretty generic ambient, but OK)
Dadavistic Orchestra - whole catalog (OK ambient, once again, nothing mindblowing)

A lot stuff from a certain industrial act called Pigface.. mostly post-2004 stuff that I've been missing out.

Semtex - We Have Explosive 12''

Yay, I finally found me a copy
(not that I'd been looking particularly hard - just saw it on the shop shelf and thought 'I'm having that' !)

Oh, the exclusive mix on that is fantastic.

Strung Valve Checkout from Dokument .01 is bloody lovely - probably one of my favourite tracks this year....

I've listened to all the albums probably twice.. kinda interesting, very abstract stuff. Some guy on What.cd recommended this

Also found out about Continuum (Vidna Obmana & Bass Communion (who's Steven Wilson from Porcupine Tree)).. pretty good, although most of these bands are WAY off the wavelenght of FSOL . Bass Communion wasn't too good, but this was much better.

Oh yeah, new Death In Vegas. Has a few good songs, as usual.

I expected more from the new Death in Vegas album...
the coolest thing on there is the cover

Not a big fan of the Russian samples in the beginning.. English would have been better. Otherwise, pretty good stuff. Very FSOLish. Psy-ambient in a more interesting (and less cheesy) way than Shpongle IMO.

FSOL - An End Of Sorts

Cool track, especially the part around 3:45 where both percussion styles are played simultaneously, for just a moment. Why is this amazing track not on the white version (1995 reissue) of ISDN ?!

[Ross]

Mm, it's an incredible track - good enough to appear in two different forms on the Cascade EP and Environments 1. I think An End of Sorts is the best version though.


np: that new Orbital thing. Really quite poor.

[mcbpete]

Sure is !

[Ross]

Electric Brain Storms 4. Still can't quite choose between this and 5 as my favourite. Although 7 is already creeping in to displace both of them.

You talking about "Never"? I actually quite like that one.

Owsey ... Making some great stuff at the moment on soundcloud
