miike Teknoist says:
"the second FREE booster pack in the series comes from Michael J Rocks.. 2 animals regurgitating a 12 track feast in a mixed live set form for you to devour like some audio vomit scoffing deviant… this is across the board breakcore rave, from the pretty to the damn right institutionalised..

They made [their] mark on me while live so i thought it fitting that i released a live set…

please email me and ‘los demonios que oscilan’ and let us know what you think.. theres a few words and contact details from them offering the full seperate tracks if you want them

Quoting from a flyer Demon Cabbage gave me:
"The Wrong Music Show is a weekly radio broadcast on Sound Art Radio, based in Darlington, South Devon. The 2hour show is hosted by Ebloa, Sorry and Judith Priest on Mondays from 10pm-12midnight and features "off kilter" music from established and up-and-coming bands + artists from around the globe. Listen to the show on 102.5FM (if you live in Totnes). For non-locals you can ctream it from: www.soundartradio.org.uk"

If, like me, you recorded Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle recently, rather than watch it as it went out, you will have missed the Red Button interviews after each show with Armando Iannucci. All six are now available on Lee's website. Highly recommended.

CHANNEL022 || PROD || FASHION SICKNESS

"Leeds legend and a man who surely can’t remain in the shadows of the underground for long, Prod makes his welcome debut on Dead Channel with a collection of gems from his personal archive.

"Multi instrumentalist, achingly talented and completely devoid of the sort of ego you normally associate with such things, Prod has honed his craft almost to the point of absolute perfection. Although this album lacks a lot of the vocal and instrumental elements that are such a feature of his new material (check the awesome new album ‘The Artworks Formerly known as Prints’ out now on Pollinate Records) it still has a musical depth that many attain to, yet few attain.
Add to that a dose of fun, and a keen eye on the dance floor and you have what will, we’re sure, become a future Dead Channel classic."

Bruce Stallion - Screw You


"Bruce Stallion (formally Black Rabbit) is the new project from Brighton based Dj Floorclearer (Guy Appleton), known for his frantic amen breakcore and for being part of the notorious Wrong Music party crew.

"Under his new guise guy seeks to meld his love of ridiculous arse shaking bass, the spirit of 90’s hardcore, Amiga game music and hip-hop. Mixing up dubstep, heavy bass and the occasional bit of bassline cheese he aims to make music that pleases the dance floor and the headphone listener by gently tweaking the party centres of the brain.

"Influenced by the likes of Zomby, Rustie, Drop the Lime and AC Slater, but with a sound and mood of its own, a kinda cough syrup hazed equivalent of the Outrun theme with 90’s rave piano. And lots of bass."

See Proboscus Records and the Proboscus Blog for more information, including a mix of material from the forthcoming Floorclearer album on Noizetek and links to things like the Rave Archive.

Parasite says:
"I recently made a soundtrack and sound effects for a new Playstation 3 game called Savage Moon. It’s a tower defence strategy game available in Europe and USA on the PSN (Playstation Sony Network) download shop. Savage Moon is not currently available in Japan, so I decided to ask a few friends from Japan to remix the soundtrack in the hope that people there might like it enough to want to play the game. So if you live in Japan and like what you hear, please email Sony Japan at this address (https://www.jp.playstation.com/support/formSF/en/) and ask them to release Savage Moon in Japan!"

From the Physics Web mailing list:
"I have just heard what has to be the longest string of physics jokes ever uttered on the radio. I was listening to the BBC Radio 4 programme “Old Harry’s Game”, in which the comedian Andy Hamilton plays Satan and is set in hell. Early in the episode we learn that Einstein is detained at Old Harry’s pleasure — indeed all deceased scientists are there it seems. What follows is a string of gags on everything from Schroedinger’s Cat to Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle — and a joke of dubious taste about Stephen Hawking’s ability to play table tennis.
CULTURAL WARNING: Like most early-evening broadcasts on Radio 4 this programme could be a bit too “jolly-hockeysticks” for the non-British listener."

2 new Acroplane releases this week


ACP037: Startslow - The Lost And The Stolen

Our 2nd EP from Gus Startslow. Dubstep, Breakcore, Electronica, Techno, Jazzyness and a clean ton of bass! Mad skills! Some really excellent vocalists involved with this one too.

ACP036: Automatic Tasty - Tweeter's Mid Life Crisis

This next instalment from our beleaguered pal, the Automatic Tasty, is a seven track EP documenting the recent hardships that have befallen this relic. Our knackered mate is currently spending his days eating packets of sugar under a bridge, a fitting end, really. Having taken an unflinching, top down look at the sidelines, rather than quite reading things as they appear, he has come to terms with the undeniable, & awful, situation at hand, & intends now, to act accordingly. Presented w/pleasure...

Goatlab Radio with Anakissed, Parasite & Dan Breakwhore - December 2008 [66MB MP3]

"This month we’ve got a great selection of exclusive Bristol Breakcore dubplates courtesy of our special guest Dan Breakwhore. Dan is part of the Blunderphonics Crew who are known for putting on some pretty rawkus parties in Bristol (including the St. Paul’s Carnival after-party at the Black Swan!). But more notably, there is wealth of extremely talented (and largely unreleased) producers who fall under the Blunderphonics umbrella, making them a force to be reckoned with!

Electronic Explorations 47 - Druncorps 158MB MP3]

"Mating the unholy union of grind and breakcore, Drumcorps are not the kind of band you put on to wind-down... Firing both electronic and metal bullets into the heart of his composition, Aaron Spectre's Drumcorps are fierce and then some
"Drumcorps features tracks of amen blast beats, guitar-wash-screams, and plenty of musical tension. Quick and decisive, "Grist" is quite possibly the definitive breakcore/grindcore hybrid album of its kind. Far from just a typical grindcore mash-up mix, producer Aaron Spectre plays many of the riffs and tweaks the source material to near impossible levels, all to make a passionate emotional attack on the listener. The intensity of his live shows has made him increasingly in demand, destroying parties from Tokyo to London."

ACP034 Sitezen - Slow Grey Nightmare - 6 tracks

[I love this blurb]
"On an autumnal morning in 1975 an unwanted baby was left on the doorstep of a convent in Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland. Raised by nuns and dubbed 'Sitezen' the child soon developed a passion for the haunting music of the sisters. Spurred on by the depraved sexual practices witnessed there he stayed well into his twenties, working mainly as a handyman and occasionally delivering God's (and sometimes Jesus') more private messages to each nun individually.

"Secretly training in Cubase from his early teens on an Atari ST stolen from a dying parishioner, Sitezen worked extensively on creating musical patterns and textures inspired by his dark, sheltered existence. 'Slow Grey Nightmare' is the story of this boys life. Do not judge him."

Made up of songs new and old and field recordings taken in various parts of Iceland, the podcast aims to evoke the atmosphere of the country and of the festival. Many of the songs and mixes were played at the Brainlove Airwaves DJ night at Reykjavik's legendary Kaffibarrin bar, with the podcast idea coming from requests of enthusiastic local attendees for an online mixtape."
Worthwhile for the field recordings. I could give or take most of the rest of it.

ELECTRONIC EXPLORATIONS - The Teknoist (Ad Noiseam) [160MB MP3]
Info

GUTTERBREAKZ presents ANNEX AUDIO

"The idea for this recording project began a couple of months ago, when I discovered a few old cassette tapes stored away in a forgotten box in my garage. The contents of the tapes might be described as 'domestic field recordings'. Recorded by my late father, they document family life in the house that I grew up in during the month of September 1977.
"At some point I decided that I'd like to try setting some of these recordings within a musical framework. The direction was never in doubt: it must be haunting, ambient, beat-free, and evocative of the time when the recordings were made. But I didn't want to use any obvious musical quotes, no cheap-shot gimmicky samples or naive melodies. I wanted it very amorphous, merely a suggestion of musical color within a framework of shifting lo-fi texture. And I wanted the dialogue to be indistinct, like it was coming from another room or from the other end of a corridor. I wanted to retain the tape-hiss, random drop-outs, warbles, muffles and flutters of the original tapes, so I mastered all the music on an old, much-used cassette, in the hope of capturing as much 'undesirable' audio degradation as possible."
Brilliant, brilliant work Nick. Thanks for sharing this personal work.

Drumcorp - Altered Beast [26MB zip]
I've just got my hands on the Drumcorp (aka Aaron Spectre) Altered Beast 10" and it is one of the most amazing, as well as most nauseating, pieces of vinyl I have ever seen. You can download the 3 tracks from it here [direct MP3 link above], the FLAC is here, and if you like it you can still get all of the vinyl versions here and in the UK exclusively from dSWAT, although I doubt they will be around for long.


BLÆRG - Auspices and Vagaries
"Ever watch a 60’s movie set in the future? The kind where the sets are stark white with oddly shaped chairs in bright colors that don’t look the least bit comfortable, where the cars fly but are roughly the size of pontoons, where people get their meals by speaking into little boxes and out pops a plate with a small, unnaturally colored cube on it? Yes, it all looks futuristic and ultra-modern but it still, without a doubt, is stamped with the impression of an era long past – and it’s still really cool.
BLÆRG’s latest release, a 3" CD by the name of “Auspices and Vagaries” is the perfect score to a meal of Soylent Orange or for a drink at the milk bar. It stirs together bits of futuristic rhythms, strains of jazzy flavor and a splash of retro flair into a wonderful little breakcore appetizer that leaves the palate whetted and the appetite craving more.
This 3" CD-R is hand printed and assembled, and comes with an “Auspices and Vagaries” vinyl sticker. This album is strictly limited to 50 copies. Album can also be downloaded for free in 128kbps MP3 format. This could be the last BLÆRG album for a long time."

"With a strong focus on unique electronic sounddesign and structures, v/a - Vortex has turned into a solid collection of next level sonic wizardry.
All of the artists involved have dedicated an extremely respectable amount of time and effort to sculpt their submission until it was perfect.
Could it be possible that 1 reason for this has to do with the fact that v/a - Vortex was a compilation that simply needed to be made?"

It's available for free download in MP3 format, but only until the licences run out, after which it'll be streaming-only and impossible to legally obtain, like their OK Computer tribute album from last year."

Twenty Knives - Royal Invitation Free EP [40MB zip]

From Cock Rock Disco:
"Vexkiddy, an improbable 18th century inspired micro-acid-breakcore-cabarave duo from bristol, have turned out pretty much the most mental album of 2007/8, and what's more they teamed up with Cock Rock Disco to GIVE IT TO YOU FOR FREE!! That's right "Knocking Out Numbers" is their debut release, and it's 100% FREE!

"They have played a bunch of festivals, and will be featured @ Glade this year too. If you're from the south of the Uk, you've probably seen them tear a few gigs apart, but if not, then you probably haven't been exposed to this amazing team yet! So go here and DOWNLOAD IT NOW FOR FFFRRRREEEEE" [68MB zip on webpage]


unfound37 - various artists - philly time [webpage]
"being that foundsound and unfoundsound were launched and nurtured in philadelphia, it’s only appropriate that we give you a new chapter to our “location series” – a compilation of tracks from philly artists entitled philly time. you get a whopping 13 tracks (woohoo!) illustrating the vast diversity that philly artists have to offer. the list of artists ranges from veterans to newcomers. you get deep and lush atmospheric bliss from scuba (a.k.a. king britt), tweaked-out tech-house insanity from nigel richards, danceable field recording brilliance from unfoundsound’s own fidget and tleilaxu, harsh and abrasive tech-core from duran duran duran, grime-ish dirty dub from starkey, fun-filled idm-ish tech-house from kilowatts, plus everlasting goodness from pink skull, accidentally and city rain. you also get some dope remixes! two tracks from miskate’s zuni ep (foundsound-03) are fiercely reworked by diss0nance and robmall. plus, jamie morris transforms “goofball” (unfound-01) by someone else into a minimal loop-techno gem. yes, indeed. philly will always be home."

Witchman - Innasylum (the lost album) [91MB zip on yousendit]
"The story goes like this...after Explorimenting Beats I recorded a follow up album "Innasylum". After delivering the album, the label deemed it too "uncommercial and downtempo". So, back to the drawing board I went, to write a few more ear-friendly tracks, ha!. On delivering the album I was promptly shelved in favor of another *cough* Trance artist with whom I shared the label and was raking in the cash for the powers that be. While i understood the logical thinking behind the decision, it became infuriating. After almost 2 years of gathering dust I left the label and the album in a bitter cloud of disgust, packed my bags and left for NYC. After such a lengthy period I couldn't support the release. I had moved on both technically and creatively. The whole process with the label left an incredibly bad taste in my mouth and as such I had no real passion in recording a new album.

"That was 7 years ago! Last week I came across the album while unpacking the new studio.

"So ladies and gentlemen, please feel free to follow this link and enjoy.

"I believe you have 7 days to download this puppy, after that, it's gone. At least until i upload to the Witchman website server, which knowing me..could well never happen.

"Bare in mind the album was recorded back in the stone age (99_2000) and as such I would sure as hell never release it commercially. It's a document in time. Incidentally, this is not the original intended play list, a couple of tracks were taken off (Mekong, Gotham City Rockers) as I never really liked them, but the label did. They have been substituted for tracks I had originally intended for the release, Sweet Waters and Sleepwalkin' the Apocalypse. New artwork has been embedded as the original art was destroyed.

"The Masai tribe have a great saying, "the past is another country, I no longer live there" which pretty much sums up how I feel about this album. While I no longer live there, it was enjoyable taking a return trip for an hour.

"Thank you to everyone that has supported me over the years, hopefully there will be some bits and pieces within this recording you like. If not..hey it's free...delete it.

"Till next time.

"John"

The Dop has hit me up with a meme. I'm always unsure about what to do with these. Fraser Lewry over at Blogjam would point out that this is "merely hapless blog sewage ... that makes my hopeless shitsack of a website look up-to-date."

On the other hand, I'm quite interested in the transfer of memes, the way ideas pass from generation to generation. The idea of memes themselves is a perfect example. Richard Dawkin's popularised the idea in The Selfish Gene, where they were used as a literary example of how collective memory is transferred in a way similar to biological genes (hence the cumbersome rhyme). He then stood back and watch from the sidelines as others ran with the idea, analysing everything from religion and folk music to humour and fashion from this perspective. There are now books dedicated to meme theory itself.

This meme is not one of those ideas. It's one of the "fill in the blanks" exercises, no more interesting than a chain letter, which might tell the reader something about my personal life, or at least how I chose to present that in public. A useful exercise for you in armature psychoanalysis but represents nothing in terms of the study of the evolution of ideas.

Anyway, I digress. The meme says:

‘List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they’re not any good, but they must be songs you’re really enjoying now, shaping your spring. Post these instructions in your blog along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they’re listening to’.

(Why seven?)

Some after less deliberation than was given to my opening gambit, here they are:

dEUS – The Architect from the album Vantage Point (V2) [see Goatlab Radioshow below]
Everyone's favourite Belgian rock outfit mount a triumphant return with this disco enthused anthem to special geometry. Just look at these lyrics:

He said:
"I won't throw myself from the pier
I'm gonna go home and shut up for a year
And when the year is over I'll reappear
And have a solution"

I've reason to believe that what I find
Is gonna change the face of humankind
And all these years before, well I was blind
That's my conclusion

Cause I'm the architect

And so he drew himself a pentagon
Thinking it through a geodesic dome
From the coast of Tahiti to the hills of Rome
Step aside cause the man will take the Nobel Prize home

Now you show me The Streets or The Arctic Monkeys tackling issues like that. They can't think outside of their own heads or that of some chavvy street urchin. There's no way they would be writing songs about architects with egotistic designs on a Nobel Prize. This is the big picture. This is what it should be about.

Marillion – Kayleigh from the album Misplaced Childhood [youtube link]

Epic 80s prog rock ballad action here. It's like punk never happened. This popped-up on a charity shop find compilation tape Mrs P bought for the car and it's been stuck in my head for months now. I love the guitar sounds on it and the repeated refrains in teh lyrics, "do you remember...", "by the way...", "I never meant to break your heart." And that "dancing in stilletoes in the snow" image I referred to last week when Decal used the line as a song title.

Amnesia – Celsius from the album Hysteria (Boy Records Spain)

Thanks to Brendon in the office who dug this classic out of his record bag and asked if I'd mind dusting it off (and ripping it to CD while I was at it). This is proto-new-beat from 1988. As the discogs reviewer states

“Not Electro, not EBM, not Acid, not House, but a bit of all of those and more: This is one of the first true Techno full length albums with a distinctive European sound. Of course, this has to be called a typical New Beat release, but it only shows how New Beat was an important predecessor for the european sort of Techno, Trance and Hardcore.”

The album is horribly dated but it's often refreshing to return to the source. I dropped into in a DJ set at the last Goatlab and it went down well. In fact, it wen't down better than most of the rest of it!

DJ Rainbow Ejaculation - Allmygaysarefriendsodetotheblueoysterrainbow [Maladroit Remix] (forthcoming on Cock Rock Disco / Death$ucker) [see Goatlab Radioshow below]

I crack up every time I hear this. The whole album is outragous but this is the stand out track. YMCA-breakcore. I opened the last Goatlab radio show with it, see below.

Stallio – The Future Sound of Retro from the Mash Smater Not Harder MP3 release on Bad Taste [see Goatlab Radioshow below]

Again, I also played this on the last radio show. Like Ronseal, this does exaclty what it says on the tin. Mash-ups that are cleaverly put together to show how songs can be constructed, rather than just speeding it up and whacking soem frantic beats on top. Brilliant remix work.

PJ Harvey – Grow Grow Grow from White Chalk (Island)

Haunting tune from what is probably Polly's must involving album. Here's a live video from the Colston Hall gig on teh day the album was released last year that I reviewed here. I didn't realise how long ago this was. The album has been on heavy rotation all that time. (Chatting with Lou Syntheme shortly afterwards I found out she was at the same gig. Dorset girls gotta stick together.)



Exillon – Darkassid from It's OK To Dance (Ad Noiseam)

Jay gave me a copy of this album when he played Goatlab in February. Along with The Doubful Guest, who also played that night, and Syntheme, who played in April, I've really got into acid again recently. I've picked this track as a favourtie as it reminds my so much of early Chemical Brothers, and where I wish they had developed on to.

I'm short of suggestions of people to pass this on to, but I'd like to know what Natali, Armin, 606, Skip and Ripley would pick.

Here's the often plugged Goatlab Radio with Gusset, Parasite & special guests Syntheme & Toecutter - May 2008 [71MB MP3]

Tracklist:

1. DJ Rainbow Ejaculation - Allmygaysarefriendsodetotheblueoysterrainbow [Maladroit Remix] (Death$ucker/Cock Rock Disco)
2. dEUS - The Architect (Island)
3. Stallio - The Future Sound of Retro (MP3)
4. Syntheme - Ceedee (Planet Mu)
5. Komar & Melamid - The Most Unwanted Song (MP3)
6. Toecutter - Music Sounds Better With Me (Death$ucker)
7. UnTrKmind - Cornerway (ARP)
8. Toecutter - Best Party Ever (Bang Gang 12")
9. Odan - Quinckes Boob (ARP)

"I had an excellent time performing at them in New York and Minneapolis this year
it was cool to meet faltyDL, for a brief moment while sweating thru a orange furry suit and minneapolis is a really nice town with not too little and not too much happening, if it didn't have hellish winter, I'd want to live there.

Decal - 404 not found videos
These were only shown on Irish TV when the album came out (2002). And this non-album track is a stunner:
Decal - Dancing With Stiletoes In The Snow*

"One of Decals most inventive tracks and [was] only available as a quicktime video! Included on a CD of Irish artists, 'Please Don't Ask Me What I Think of Your Band' that came free with Homage magazine. The video by Tim Redfern is also outstanding, gelling seamlessly with the music, 2002."

25 ways to kill a piano

1.5hr of old skool rave
[via cridge]

In the 1990s, Two Russian-born, US-based conceptual artists calling themselves Komar and Melamid created what they intend to be the world's most unlikeable song. The 22-minute opus is assembled from a palette of elements determined (through a poll) to be the least desirable aspects of songs, and includes things like an operatic soprano rapping about cowboys over a tuba-backed bassline and bagpipe breaks, a children's choir singing inane holiday ditties and advertising Wal-Mart, and someone shouts political slogans over elevator music. It is, in its own way, awesome.

It's good - I don't mind... a little bit of culturo-material detriutus floatin' away... a bit of the past relinquished..... positively Buddhist it felt.... it's ok.. And then, like something dredged up from the Jungian collective conscious, a bare two days later, Gutta pops up with a bit of mp3 mixery-wizardry and there it all is: history resurrected shiny and new. Three cheers to you Gutta sir!"

Drumcorps on Tom Ravenscroft's Channel 4 Music radio show.
SHOW 6
Have we got a heavy show for you! This week’s session come from the fantastic mentalist Drumcorps who’s real name is Aaron Spectre. At 16 Aaron was a drummer for various hardcore bands in Massachusetts and at 19 he moved to New York and started DJing Jungle, Drum n Bass and Ambient music. At 23 he left the States to set up home in Berlin and at 24 he turned into Drumcorps. If you like music by Converge, Genghis Tron or Soundmurderer you’ll like Drumcorps and if you’ve never heard of the aforementioned, we reckon you’ll still like Drumcorps!
He has an album out on Cock Rock Disco/ Ad Noiseum called 'Grist' which came out last year.
Here for you watching pleasure are a couple of good links to videos of Drumcorps on YouTube.

Bring That Bleep Back
Seeing that we're already in that time period, it's time to honor a small, yet noteworthy subset of early techno, namely Bleep. Centered around the Yorkshire towns of Leeds, Sheffield and Bradford in the UK, it briefly made it's name during '89 - '91, before the ravey piano anthems and hardcore breakbeats took the spotlight. We all know that Robots Love Bleeps (or anything Bleep-related for that matter), so it should surprise no one that this particular electronic dance music sub-genre deserves a post of its own.
Here's not one, but two mixes of Yorkshire Bleeps and Bass courtesy of Sheffield Bleep, an internet radio station broadcasting the very best electronic, dance & experimental music, non-stop, 24/7 - tune into their SHOUTcast stream here. Mix 1 mainly focuses on Bleep put out by Network Records while mix 2 consists of early WARP releases. Tracklistings and places to buy after the jump.

Rasha's set is excellent. A bit like an early solo PJ Harvey."
Tracklisting etc on the second link.

"Download Amplive's Rainydayz Remixes, an 8-track collection featuring remixes of Radiohead's historic seventh album, In Rainbows. The songs are available in a zip file below and feature verses courtesy of Too $hort, MC Zumbi of Zion I, Chali2na of Jurassic 5, and Del the Funky Homosapien.
"After a cease & desist put the breaks on Amplive's Radiohead In Rainbows remix project, the online music community reasonably wondered if the tracks would ever see the light of day. Well, here they are.
Rainydayz Remixes
"While the Oakland producer/DJ acknowledges that he probably should have contacted Radiohead (who were not involved in the project) to seek approval prior to making his interpretations publically available, an agreement has been reached between all involved parties and Amplive has been granted permission to release Rainydayz Remixes for free to the general public. Effective immediately, the eight-track record is available here."

Benn Jordan (aka the Flasbulb) has been popping up all over the net recently as he takes his ongoing argument with Apple about iTunes royalties to it's logically conclusion. He’s giving his album away rather than let them charge for it and not give him a cut (he does own the rights himself). His analysis here gives a detailed breakdown of the income from the album from various sources, and he continues to torrent the album if you’d like it. I admit I’ve always found his music a little too derivative but why not download it and judge for yourself. He can also be an annoying forum troll at times. I think really he should have had a career in PR but if he can survive making music then good luck to him.

Goatlab Radio with Dan Gusset, Ana Kissed and special guest James Binray - Jan 2008 [60MB MP3]
Tracklist:

• Robot Ninja Dinosaur Bastards - Come and Get Demented with the Dino Bastards (Wrong Music)
  
• Bernard Cribbins - Gossip Calypso
  
• Datach'i - I'm Not Afraid To Watch You Die (Planet Mu)
  
• Frog Pocket - Heavy Grunts (Planet Mu)
  
• Jimmy Soul - If You Want To Be Happy For The Rest of Your Life
  
• Bogdan Raczynski - Lowlands (Rephlex)
  
• Portishead - Machine Gun (ATP bootleg)

• Phthalocyanine - Breakfast Beer (Planet Mu)
  
• DJ Lumpy's Penis Song (title not known)

I was feeling ill for this one so it's a bit more downbeat this month. Sorry to Chris Cook (Hot Roddy) who I couldn't remember what other artist name he went by, as his Same Actor work eluded me temporarily.)

WoBcast Unplugged - The return of the West of Bastard podcasts with DJ Lumpy, Andrewherring and Juxtaposeur. Worth the download for The Bony King of Nowhere from Bagpuss, Maypole (the oldest song in the English language, as heard in the Wicker Man soundtrack) and Destroying Something Beautiful's beautifully fragile acoustic version of Word Up.

CERN Poscast
Thanks to Bristle for pointing this out in the comments to the previous post. A chat-show style podcast of people visiting the CERN Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland, including the likes of Dean of Guildford Cathedral the Very Reverend Victor Stock, comedians Kevin Eldon and Simon Munnery, and Torchwood / Shark Attack 3: Megalodon star John Barrowman. I think this is about as internet as it gets. Even the greatest of the surrealists never dreamt of shit like this.

If you're interested in what's going on with Addict Records (as I mentioned in the Goatlab radio show) have a listen to Meatsock's interviews with Dan Doormouse [70MB MP3] and Billy Stunt Rock [51MB MP] he recorded for the whus.org show.

New net-lab releases "available to download today for zero pennies..."

NL35 - X&Trick - Planes, Trains and Highways
X&Trick on top form presenting his unique blend of Drum ‘n’ Bass, Industrial, Hardcore and Breakcore with plenty of fantastically obscure noises, thick bass and dischordant synths. Introduced by a collaborative track with Chevron, “Brighton”, each track on the release is recorded in a different location around the world and named accordingly. Dark, hard hitting and at times definitely summarising the euro/belgium scene, the release is also quite diverse, with the more melodic starting track through to “Dubai”, which is reminiscent of an Evol Intent / Current Value style dark drum and bass, and then completed by the pounding techno of “Gent”

NL36 - Mully - Dalston 2066
A collection of delicate pieces constrasting Mully’s previously heard style of work, each track an amalgamation of flowing melody, micro-beats, and ambience. Many of the tracks have a warm, contemplative feel, though also with a melancholy vibe throughout. “Icelandia” and “Beach” are definite first listen favorites, with tracks like “She Will Lose” that take a few more listens to really appreciate.

DECK3R points out that Grind Thieves has changed a little and is now his blog. Conincedentally, this week I've been listening to the Detroit Schizophrenia sets he recorded last month. The Davros vs Unibomber Final Amiga 500 Battle is esentially listening for old-school breackcore fans. (That's the second time in the last couple of weeks I've typed 'old-school breackcore'. Funny how it evolves.)

Forest of Spades Strings Of Consciousness Leafcutter Remake
"I just finished a remix (actually turned into more of a remake) for Philippe Petit who is the man behind the French Bip-Hop label The band is 'Strings Of Consciousness' and the track is called 'Forest of Spades' which is very appropriate. I thought I'd put the track up for you as firstly i'm very pleased with it and secondly it is the only track that i've ever used my own Forester software on. Oh and thirdly this is the first track i've made for about a year and a half! My treatment uses only source material from the origional but takes it on a fair journey away from the SOC version. I added twin e-bow guitar harmonies, percussion and even vocals. Enjoy.
The remake will appear in May 2008 with several other remixes of Strings Of Consciousness on the Belgian label OFF

Take care,

Skip to the End - Show 4 with Juxtaposeur and Special Guest SP-SEPR [126MB MP3]
Juxtaposeur says, "My guest SP-SEPR is a Bristol graffiti artist who did our Eclectic Kettle posters, but has become one of the more prolific street artists in central Bristol. Anyone who is familiar with the Stokes Croft area in particular will have seen his work. He's just about to have some pieces displayed along with a host of other artists at the 12 Days of Xmas gallery exhibition at the old Nelson Street Police Station in Broadmeads.

"On the show we talk about his artwork, the wider issues of street art and his music - he's been in several Bristol based bands and had plenty of stuff released.
I enjoy talking about graffiti so the show is pretty long, but I hope you find the time to give it a listen. At least skip to our chat (about 60mins in) if you can't bear the thought of listening to my selection of tunes of Nerdcore etc."

Suzanna Ciani on 3-2-1 Contact [youtube]
Who? "a pioneer in electronic music and one of the few women to blaze a trail in the genre. She received classical music training at Wellesley College and obtained her M.A. in music in 1970 at University of California, Berkeley where she met and was influenced by the idiosyncratic synthesizer designer Don Buchla. ... Ciani provided the sound effects for Meco's disco version of the Star Wars soundtrack ... In 1982 she began to record albums in the New Age genre, characterized by a mix of electronic and traditional instruments ... She considers herself to be a classical music composer and her more recent albums have emphasized the piano." [wikipedia]

Did you listen to metal in your teens? Have you stopped listening to it now? Do you only occasionally revisit those once loved albums of teenage angst? Would you love to hear that stuff again but with a new ironic twist? Then this mix is for you:
Fexomat_Live_at_Refest6_2007 [53MB MP3]
It's the best hour of metal I've heard since I saw Slayer live. It piles Pantera, Sepultura, Iron Maiden et al into a hideous MC Hammer, Bristney Spears and 2unlimted hating mash. You owe it to yourself to listen to this.

Mary Anne Hobbs seems to think the sun shines out of Burial's ass. She says his material, "sounds like it was made on a different planet"
What, one where putting shit loads of reverb on some repetitive beats is considered the height of musical achievement? I mean, it's pleasant, but not revolutionary. I bought the first album and I've played it a handful of times. Sounds like coffee table music to me. Burial is to dubstep what Roni Size was to drum and bass. I suspect we'll be laughing at this in another 10 years. Make up your own mind:

Half vinyl, half CD, all new format

"CD sales are falling. Vinyl sales are rising but not for a mass market. So the music industry has come up with a new format in the fight against dwindling revenues. ...[a] single on a disc that is vinyl on one side and a CD on the other."

I like 5" vinyl as a format. It only really works for punk/hardcore as you can only get 3 mins of music on one side, but I like my Compulsion and Trencher releases. I've always wondered how practical the hybrid would be technically. I wonder whether they are cutting the grove into one side of the CD, and if so how they are avoiding the data layer without making the disk to think for CD players, or if they are fusing two separate disks together as they do with double sided DVDs?

"[Gut records chairman] Mr Holmes says that if the format proves popular his company could use it for other bands. 'The music business desperately, desperately needs to invent new formats; the CD is an antique, it's 20 years old.'"

I disagree there. The constant search for new formats only helps record companies struggling to shift back catalogue. As far as new formats go, they already have one. It's MP3. They don't like it as it's the first time they haven't been in control of it, but it's there and they are going to have to live with it. No novelty hybrid disk is going to make kids rush out to the shops again or make adults reacquire their existing collection.

'The handful of songs present on this EP rely on a quiet storm of

laid-back pleasure. [...] Fields puts on a really smooth show, and
it's evident not one full listen through that he's done this before.
[...] Fields has succeeded in releasing a free album that's worth more
than that in both quality control and replay value.'

Music Thing reports on the Sequencer controlled by a Rubik's Cube
"American/Frenchman Douglas Edric Stanley is professor of digital arts at Aix-en-Provence school of art, where he gets to build things like this sequencer controlled by a rubiks cube. It's an installation thing, not very clearly illustrated in this video. More excitingly, there's a playable online version (instructions here). This is Douglas' point: Most electronic instruments have a more-or-less obscure interface (lots of knobs and buttons), which can be intimidating. However, once you know what the knobs do, they're often very simple to use, with limited possibilities. With this thing, the interface is very immediate (everyone knows how to manipulate a rubiks cube) but it's phenomenally difficult and complicated to actually play - because every move messes up another side."

Bogdan Raczynski has some low quality previews of his long awaited new album:
"The winds of change have heard your pleas for salvation!
Without further delay I am most delighted to announce the release date for 'alright!' as being November 19 for the UK and shortly after everywhere else. It's to my knowledge that this release will also be available on mp3 for those of you who can't find my goodies near you.
I'm also making available each track in mp3 format in horrendous 16kbps quality! That's right, every track! And a graphic of the final cd cover to boot! TODAY!
Follow the link below to get your mits on the goodies.
alright! by bogdan raczynski [lo-fi preview quality, 5MB ZIP]
Please note that these are very lo-fi mp3's. I don't want people thinking the actual CD will sound like I've filtered my music through a bucket of butter.
If you like the package, pass on the zip (or link) and share it with your friends. Make silly videos of you dancing like a complete buffoon or videos of you devouring platefuls of noodles, or put the zip on your friend's and family's computers as a tasty surprise. Also, I'm not as clued these days on all the hip forums, so if it's not against their rules, please do me a favor and drop a blurb/link to this blog.
The more the merrier, right?!!?

Cluster live in Berlin at INTERFACE 2007 - the video
"Formerly as the trio Kluster, after the departure of Conrad Schnitzler, the duo of Dieter Moebius and Hans-Joachim Roedelius carried on as Cluster. Actually, much touted as pioneers, Cluster are often quoted as innovators in ambient music, but in reality they were far more wide ranging, and have been important in the shaping all sorts of modern electronic music genres. Nearly 40 years after some legendary concert which had a duration of 12 (twelve) hours, the[y] left Berlin in 1969 without further notice and yesterday night was their first concert since back then."

Searching for mixes the other day I stumbled across this avatar ridden abomination of a message board, but there are some good mixes and live sets linked from the thread. A lot of the links are now dead but it's worth having a pick through. Lot's of old Orbital and Chemical Brothers live sets etc.

Riz MC says:
"Hey guys, ..new song "People Like People" ... The idea behind the track was to keep the lyrical content consistent stylistically with my previous rhymes, whilst experimenting musically with a totally different direction to how 'Post 9/11 Blues' or 'Don't Be Silly' sound. It's a comment on what we ALL seem to value these days, how we all buy into this kind of behaviour as being a symbol of higher status....anyway - you can take it how you want - there's a few ways you can interpret the song's meaning, and I'm not sure myself which is the right way - probably because I feel ambivalent about a lot of these topics myself....

I've been asked to guest on another internet radio show shortly. You'll hear about it here, of course, but in the mean time why not catch up on Skip to the End with Juxtaposeur. The most recent show, 30th August, features a 30min live mix by Parasite. There's also a good selection of mixes and tunes. You'll also see where the Yo Gabba Gabb post, below, came from.

From Bong Ra:



"Just when you thought the true spirit of Rave was lost to Indy-rock poster boys, Glowstyx arrives with the smashing debut "Class of 1992" on Cock Rock Disco! Over 3 years in the making and meticulously constructed from an archive of over 4 gigabyte of oldskool rave sample cd nostalgia, Glowstyx successfully manages to breathe new life into old-vibes, making a release that seemingly was warped here from over more than a decade ago.

"Somehow the charm, humor and excitement of Rave got lost in the growing popularity of synthetic repetitive dance music; focusing less on hooks, catchy melodies and simple song structures. But once you hear Glowstyx, you'll realize the power of the music itself is here to stay! Bring back the high pitch vocals! Bring back the piano breakdowns, "mentasms" and rolling breakbeats! The old-school Rave revival is here, and let's all drop some E to celebrate it!"

Phew, this has been a long time coming. Cross-posted with Bristol Breakcore Blog.

Following Anarchist606’s post about the plethora of rare video footage, charting the history of popular music, that can be found on YouTube, I thought it might be interesting to try to cover the history of electronic music in the same way. This is not intended to be in any way comprehensive, I know there are huge chunks missing, so please feel free to add more.

Now, the oldest electronic instrument I can find any footage of is, of course, the Theremin, invented in 1917 by Leon Theremin and still used to this day:







A rash of other early electronic instruments appeared throughout the 1920s and and ‘30s, and disappeared again just as quickly. It wasn’t until Pierre Schaeffer’s invention of the tape recorder in 1939 that the first major school of electronic music took shape.

1940s - Musique Concrète

Some of the pioneers of this technique of creating music from recordings of natural sounds through layering and tape splicing are presented here:









1940 – Vocoder invented by Homer Dudley.

Demonstration on vintage (1978) Sennheiser VSM-201 shows what it does:



Demonstration here from 2007 shows a software vocoder being used to control visuals as well as audio:



1952: RCA Synthesiser Mks I & II invented. No footage found from this period but see later section on the Radiophonic Workshop. The ring modulator also appeared around this time, see Dalek voices.

1953: Greek architect turned composer Iannis Xenakis writes Metastasis, using statistical techniques to create music. Another pioneer of music controlled or composed through computing techniques.



1956 – The Forbidden Planet, with “Electronic Tonalities”* by Louis and Bebe Barron. Pioneers of snuff audio, using circuits build to feedback and go into oscillation they recorded the sound of the electronics dying, so none of these sounds could ever be created identically twice.
(* It was intentionally not called music in an attempt to avoid playing musician union fees.)



Varèse/ Xénakis/Le Corbusier - poeme électronique (1958) [stick with it!]



1963 – The BBC Radiophonic Workshop, founded by Daphne Oram in 1958, experimented with musique concreté through it’s early years. It came to mainstream attention when Ron Grainger’s Dr Who theme is arranged and rendered out of tape loops by Delia Derbyshire, the first lady of electronica.



















Stockhausen was another important pioneer of experimental music, working music Musique Concreté in the early days and then all sorts of other strange things later on. Like the Helicopter String Quartet:



The music in the video below is "Etude" by Karlheinz Stockhausen (I’m not quite sure why someone has decided to put this video to it but I’d guess they have a custard pie fetish.)



1965: First Moog Synthesiser released. Interview with Bob Moog from



Here there should be a homage to Walter/Wendy Carlos and especially A Clockwork Orange but instead I have to include this:



Someone’s Moog ad:



Alice Shields - Study For Voice And Tape (1968), with pictures of sci-fi crumpet:



1970: Emerson Lake & Palmer - Knife Edge
Keith Emerson at his keyboard battering best. (Incidentally, he took a flame thrower to a Hammond organ the time I saw them live.)



1975: Rick Wakeman – King Arthur on Ice



Out of place, but I couldn’t resist including Wizard Of Oz vs the Moog Cookbook



1978: Brian Eno on Music for Airports



1979: Jean Michel Jarre - Equinoxe - Place De La Concorde. I love Jarre. He’s like the David Copperfield of synths. Just look at that silver shirt. I expect him to start levitating at any moment.



1979: The first digital sampler, the Fairlight CMI is produced.
Herbie Hancock Demonstrates the Fairlight on Sesame Street



1981: Brian Eno & David Byrne – America is Waiting, from Life in the Bush of Ghosts, so far ahead of its time it’s scary.



1982: Peter Gabriel and Fairlight CMI, bringing in a “new-wave of electronic skiffle”



Secret of the Fairlight Sequencer



Carlos pops up again: Tron - Light cycle sequence (1982)



1982: Vangelis – Chariots of Fire OST & Bladerunner OST





Grammy awards Synthesizer Medley 1985



Curtis Roads founds the Computer Music Association in 1980 and edits the Computer Music Journal for 23 years. Fluxon (2003)




The 80s were synth-pop tastic, and I could include so much here, but most of it will already be so familiar it’s not really worth it. As a token example, here’s Philip Oakey & Giorgio Moroder - Together In Electric Dreams. For more Moroder see the soundtracks from Midnight Express, American Gigolo, Flashdance, The Never Ending Story, Thief of Hearts, Electric Dreams, Cat People and Scarface.



Then there’s all the New Order, Madchester stuff. You know all that. So let’s skip to 1989. Where there is disquiet in a field in Kent.





Quality gurning:





Meat Beat Manifesto – Helter Skelter (‘97 mix)



FSOL



At this point there could be a whole post of the same size just about the Amen break, but I’m really not interested enough to do that. So instead, here’s my personal favourite dnb tune, Photek’s Ni Ten Ichi Ryu



A nod to the Bristol scene:



Now, as the rave scene above got a bit silly and didn’t make a lot of sense without the aid of pills, the people staring trying to bring the intelligence back into it. Here’s holy trinity of “IDM”: Tom, Rich, and Mike:

All videos for the time being. I might add some more if I find it.

Dr. Rek plays his live acid show for the first time in Japan [YouTube]
and HD 720p [mov]
and a track from the end [MP3]
Worth checking out if only for the circuit bent giggling Elmo and the Drs costume. Shame the audience is so spares and he seems to lack energy because of it. I know how that feels.

Keith Fullerton Whitman - "video of my entire set opening for ikue mori @ issue project room a few weeks back" [Google video]

Edit (05.08.07), now listening to this:
"Here is an EP [30MB rar on YouSendIt], of 2 10 minute long tracks all at 200bpm, including the kersal massive, beefy n taz, darksided christian warrior woman, and lots of other really shit things amalgamated into one hideous lump of breakcore/gabba.
I hope you enjoy it.
Carl Brown"
