Hieroglyphic Being....

deserves his own thread, I've decided. After listening to a good deal of his stuff for the past couple months, I can't decide what I like best: Conversations or Machines. On the one hand, A2 and all of the B-side of Conversations is astounding, but this might be a result of playing it at 33 for months without realizing it's a 45; on the other hand, Machines is much more even and includes "The Strenuous Life," possibly his best track.

So, what does everyone think of the HB? Or his work under his 'real' name? His penchant for mumus?

i saw him play live not too long ago.. i am not sure if it was really good or not.. it was pretty freaked out.. at least it didn;t sound like anything else.. i really like his records though.. especially the i.b.m. one..
that whole chicago scene seems to be one of the more interesting in dance music these days.. with udek, james cotton, jamal moss, traxx, jack fm and mathematics and all that stuff.. also.. sort of similar is the detroit stuff.. like fxhe.. omar s..

My Life as a Skinny Puppy is a great album.

Jamal Moss = IBM = Hieroglyphic Being = also involved in Mathematics too I think

Omar S is best though.

"je suis musique" on the spectral EP is fantastic.

man that's a huge great chip on your shoulder. don't you have some boring "lo-fi" house tracks you should be working on?

The only chip I have is that it takes an RA feature for the guy to get any love around here. I wonder how much longer it is going to take for ILM to catch up with Tevo Howard.

As for my stuff, all I can say is that people I admire are contacting me with offers and 2010 is going to be a busy year.

"so much noise 2 be heard" has a definite sheffield bleep/early 90s warp/b12 vibe that i approve

love this 12" on Morphine Doser:

My god. Pure ideology. (ey), Sunday, 12 May 2013 13:28 (1 week ago) Permalink

Loved his DJing so much when I saw him. Have a feeling he may be one if those DJs that plays a lot of the same tunes, but I could be wrong. Hs anyone seen him a few times?

He did an in store set at Sounds of the Universe the other day. Looks like they recorded it: http://www.souljazzrecords.co.uk/releases/?id=31627

Samples sound great.

Loving the Display Name moans up thread.

my favourite so far is the "the invisible children" 12" under his IAMTHATIAM moniker. picked mine up for cents from hhv.de and i think they still have stock. white noise super reverb'd godflesh beats with sci-fi george benson synth action oozing gaseously. he's gone a bit clean & digi recently but this is a super hissy warm fuzz.
romance of 2 planets 12" also melts my tiny mind

Damn, seems to be out of stock now I look!
