This is the Edward Ka-Spel thread

There is also an actual DVD coming out of a LPD show from 1987.

For sure. And yes, that scene should sorta exist somewhere, and sorta does. (Stone Breath, Unto Ashes...sorta.)

I am going to listen to the new Ka-Spel double LP "Fragments Of Illumina" while pickled in mind-altering substances. We will be brothers together in psychedelic electronica.

Those later Tear Garden records get overlooked, but I like them.

This is also where I note that Beta-Lactam is slowly reissuing all of Ka-Spel's old records, a most welcome development.

btw, this new Fragments Of Illumina record is HEAVY, the best thing I've heard from Ka-Spel in a few years. Even an entire side (side two) of him fucking around with whatever esoteric equppment he's using these days sounds good. Awesome double LP art/packaging, too.

my nephew tanith is on tanith and the lion tree!

i would still like to hear more about this!

I have not heard Ka-Spel's latest, supposedly in a more noisy musique concrete style.

this guy is a hero

I wanna hear some Tear Garden some time. I know I would like them, I like LPD and Skinny Puppy and oGhr.

Wait hang on, Ive heard "In Search of my Rose" before, you've played on WREK havent you Curtis?

so the new split LP with The Silverman "Thirty Year Itch" is not one of their best efforts, I'm afraid. too much spoken word, not enough shimmery synths. maybe it will grow on me.

CD reissue of Chyekk is out and the remastering is a noticeable improvement like the others in the series. Bonus tracks are still weirdly off from the old Staalplaat CD version, but I think it's because they went with stuff from the same time period instead of the '94 tracks on the 1st reissue.

upcoming ltd. CD and art edition LP on Beta-Lactam - judging from the samples, this is gonna be a great rekkid, esp. "Motorik". yes.

oh cool, this wasn't on my radar yet.

such an incredible run of releases during the pandemic years, all worth a listen. eight 2021 full-lengths, four so far this year (I think, check his Bandcamp)

also, Chaki posted a picture of Tanith (mentioned upthread) rocking out to his show recently in Seattle! how time flies.

I'll never catch up completely but must endeavour to dig in more. "Songs Of Solitude" was easily one of my post listened to albums during 2021. So good.

most.

some recent faves off the top of my head are Random Time Machine, Prints Of Darkness, and Tales From The Trenches

just listening to Tales From The Trenches right now. so far, so great.

still cranking out great stuff on a regular basis
