This is exactly why I like it! Early analogue sequencer TD and terry Riley are awesome.

I think they did a one off for Kosmiche radio show in london last year but it went under my radar.
might solve the presets and left the room debate.

it's like that but not as interesting or good. which isn't to say it's bad, it just doesn't do anything for me that early kraftwerk/td/oldfield/Jean Michel Jarre don't do.

Ha ha that's great. This is a track that always makes me think "wait, am I hearing a remix?" It's so current sounding.

Christ I hope it does. The "ABA"/"#5" part is hands-down my favorite part of the Holiday Mix.
What's the Baby Ford mix sound like? I've never even heard of them before,

This DFA mix at Fact has a track from Gavin Russom's new project, Black Meteoric Star, apparently to be released on DFA later this year.

and there's an interview with him too.

Are Delia and Gavin not making another album together???
I can't really fathom that...

REVIVE
so Gavin Russom's remix of Petar Dundov's "Oasis" is kind of amazing - the beat's a lot more propulsive than anything on Days of Mars, but it's got the same epic synth-noodling feel. I actually think it'd work really well in a set with Lindstrom or Aeroplane's more chilled-out numbers or whatnot.
also I really like that Black Meteoric Star song on his MySpace too!
― jamescobo, Friday, 6 February 2009 19:12 (fifteen years ago) link
There's not a single beat on Days of Mars, is there? Yeah his Dundov remix is fab, bought it after I read about it on thisisnotanexitblog. He (Simon Carr, does he post here btw?) wrote this great anecdote about Gonzalez & Russom dissolving after finally, finally giving in during a live show by dropping a kick drum during another one of their amazing ever growing but never climaxing tracks. Tim Sweeney has been playing two Black Meteoric Star songs during the last couple of months on BeatsInSpace.
― willem, Friday, 6 February 2009 19:26 (fifteen years ago) link
oh, Days of Mars is beatless; I was just trying to describe how the Oasis mix builds in the same incremental, gestural way (but with an actual beat). clearly I was never meant to post on ILX with a head full of cold medicine.

So, can we talk about the Black Meteoric Star album here, then?
I can't get over how much I love this. It is full of wub. The whole thing is just made of wub. There's more wub on this record than on a Spacemen 3 b-side, that's how much wub there is. It kind of purrs and hums like a giant kitten. A giant space kitten. Flicking in and out of intergalactic phase.
This is just dronerock, 100% and it makes me full of wub.
― Violent In Design (Masonic Boom), Monday, 29 June 2009 09:09 (fourteen years ago) link
ok so there are droney guitars but i think '100% dronerock' is misleading. sounds like burbly acid-house to me, above all else.
i really didn't want to engage w/you again but seriously waht other 'dronerock' out there sounds even remotely like this? maybe some of the bands on DC?
― psychgawsple, Monday, 29 June 2009 16:57 (fourteen years ago) link
^^^and the droney guitars aren't even really on the album, just that petar dundov remix iirc
― psychgawsple, Monday, 29 June 2009 17:01 (fourteen years ago) link
1) why do you think that the term "dronerock" is somehow bad?
2) who said anything about guitars (much of Sonic Boom's solo work, as E.A.R. and others is purely synth based)
3) oh wait, you're not engaging with me. Forget I said any of this.
― Violent In Design (Masonic Boom), Monday, 29 June 2009 17:03 (fourteen years ago) link
by these standards, thousands of nu-disco, acid house, space disco etc records are all 100% dronerock, no? They have similarities (repetition, spaciness, droniness). Don't even mention all the neo-krautrock going on in the cosmic/beardo disco scenes, that's the real dronerock these days!
― dan selzer, Monday, 29 June 2009 17:18 (fourteen years ago) link
he said as Emperor Machine's Roller Daddy came on the iPod.
i love drone rock! i said 'misleading' not 'bad'
we must be listening to different EAR records. the ones i have are pretty much beatless (and filled with guitar drone). sonic boom i could understand, but i always think of that stuff as sprawling and experimental, whereas black meteoric star seems to reign in that experimentation and structure it as something far more house-y.
the reason i didn't want to engage again was because i've noticed we pretty much always have differing opinions (even when we like the same stuff) and didn't want more pointless arguing. but i wanted to know where u were coming from, and now i'm starting to, so yeh
― psychgawsple, Monday, 29 June 2009 17:23 (fourteen years ago) link
and dan selzer as usual otm
― psychgawsple, Monday, 29 June 2009 17:25 (fourteen years ago) link
also when i say sonic boom solo stuff is 'sprawling and experimental' i think i just mean that it feels improvised
