Gotta hear it. Was slightly disappointed with Shortwavemusic.

To answer the thread title question: fuck yes! That's why I'm absolutely psyched for this, out on april 20th:

And yes it is, indeed, fucking gorgeous. Is the love for Basinski really that marginal on ilm?
― Gerard (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 16 April 2009 23:35 (4 years ago) Permalink
No. I love the Disintegration Loops. There's a poll-thread devoted to those discs. If I remember that thread correctly, Ned is a big Basinski fan, too (but he hardly needs me to speak for him).

yeah i think that poll might be longer than this thread even!

I also really love the "River" double CD, I think Raster-Noton put it out. But it's all good.

What's the new one, Krakow?
I haven't listened to Basinski in a while, but I really like what I have of him. I've only one Disintegration Loop (no. III) cos it would have been very pricey to buy them all at the time. Does anyone know where to get the others reasonably cheaply? are they still available? some sort of box would be perfect.I also really like Movement in Chrome Primitive and The River. I have a vinyl-only release, A Red Score in Tile which is similar in style to the Chrome Primitive stuff. Then I have Melancholia, and a split with Richard Chartier, to which have In't really given enough time.
There were a few other Musex releases, such as Water Music I and II -- has anyone heard them?
― Duke, Saturday, 25 April 2009 21:39 (4 years ago) Permalink
erm... should read thread properly. So the new one is 92982. He says a shorter version of track 3 was included as variation #8 on A movement in chrome primitive, so I can imagine I'll like this one
― Duke, Saturday, 25 April 2009 21:57 (4 years ago) Permalink
oh God please keep this thread going; I completely adore The Disintegration Loops (to the point of buying everything of Basinski's still available - my favorite so far is the River, although the new one is pretty good too) and I'm such a sucker for anything even evoking a comparison.
anyway in the meantime, I've been enjoying this:
http://deletedscenesforgottendreams.blogspot.com/2009/03/st-kilda-st-kilda-ep.html
as a sort of Cliff's Notes to the Disintegration Loops. v v v v v v pretty. I was happy to buy it.
― jamescobo, Sunday, 26 April 2009 11:02 (4 years ago) Permalink
It started with the Disintegration Loops set for me as well, and have also bought everything still available. My possible favorite is El Camino Real, but he really hasn't made a mediocre record. 'The Garden of Brokenness´ is gorgeous as well. Hard to single one out, his whole output has been fantastic.The new one sounds great, but I´ve yet to take the time to fully dive into it. I won´t be dissapointed though, I know that for a fact.

How about in a physical (CD) format for less than $20 each?

Thanks to this thread, I had to pull out "Disintegration Loops" and have been, um, looping dlp5 for half of the afternoon. So much for my day. Thanks you guys (=it was a beautiful day).

@ilxor try this guy on eBay http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/TWO-HEADEDDOG__W0QQ_sidZ273089502?_nkw=basinski&submit=Search
I've bought from him several times and he's totally spot on ("an excellent seller A++++++" etc.). Usually has a few Basinksi titles in stock for the best prices I can find and could probably get others if asked.

Another new one out now from Basinski. Not heard it yet, will wait for it to filter through to the usual channels, but here's the link and Basinski's write-up:
http://www.mmlxii.com/music/music.html
Vivian & OndineCatalog#: 2062.0902Price: $20.00CD 45:10. Release date: December 2009"...I got back to work and found yet another lunchbox of ancient tape-loops to go through for possible inclusion in the new piece. I came across the main theme and thought...well, this is gorgeous; let's see if we can use this to coax Viv to come out. I went through the rest of them and found another dozen or so that mixed well used randomly, just under the threshold."The next night I performed the piece at Issue with their 16 channel hemispherical speaker system set to move the sounds randomly around the room as if waves in a pool. We all had a really good time. It was mesmerizing."This version was recorded with microphones and two Norelco tape decks live in my studio in Los Angeles in one take in September 2008.

I'm excited to hear this!! I only have the four Disintegration Loops and I love all of them. I used to work at this all night cafe and around 4 the place would clear out and I would play these as I would mop and clean up. I miss jobs where I could play music late at night.

distingeration loops 1 is shifted heavily towards the right channel in the mix, right? really hard to listen to on headphones.

i don't think so, no
― ♖♕♖ (am0n), Sunday, 7 February 2010 18:19 (3 years ago) Permalink
hmm it definitely seems right-shifted to me, even in the iTunes samples. (NB I would buy it from eMusic but they won't let me join because I'm currently living out-of-the-states)
― 99. The Juggalo Teacher (dyao), Monday, 8 February 2010 00:49 (3 years ago) Permalink
i bought mine on Amazon Mp3 and it certainly sounds "right-shifted" to me
― kshighway (ksh), Monday, 8 February 2010 00:50 (3 years ago) Permalink
yeah I guess fixing it in post would be against the spirit of the enterprise. really wish I could just put it on on headphones and zone out though...

Achieved something akin to Distintegrating Loops here, using two reel to reel machines feeding back on one another. Rather than the tape itself degrading though it's the signal being obliterated by the analogue recording process. Something like this is what makes tape so exciting to work with, it seems like a natural process.
