also an xp - ime almost all drone music isn't really about a dynamic performance so much as zoning the fuck out. have seen ferraro live a few times and it wasn't much different than most other bay area diy noise stuff i've seen, except maybe for the theatrics of caroliner et al
maybe you are drawn to diy noise stuff that is for zoning the fuck out? there definitely is quite a bit of that, but there is a good amount of structured and/or more energetic and varied stuff going on in the bay area noise scene.

it doesnt sound that much like f+l, really, its much softer and contemporary. its closest analogue is like instrumental passages that wouldve soundtracked 'multimedia' tech presentations half a decade or so ago, or mark mothersbaugh's compositions for the first boomblox soundtrack imo. my biggest problem w/ the album is that lacks any real rigour or larger critique/pov its just sorta oh, yeah, this is disposable music ok

i mean, i am drawn to zoning out in home-listening experiences with drone music, sure. it's not something i seek out for live performances tho, and i saw a p wide x-section of approaches and energies that still translated to the audience having more or less the same reaction (obviously this could just be *my* reaction, i'm def not above projecting)
i'm listening to the album now and it still reminds me a lot of certain tracks on the f&l album, which has some 'soft & contemporary' moments imo. but if you wanna talk abt influences or older stuff i agree with your comparisons. i think it reminds me most of a patrick o'hearn album, the kind of thing that happens when new agey artists decide to play with early computers. thomas dolby did this kind of thing every once in a while, maybe even laurie anderson or david van tieghem or a lot of later pd pop-minimalist stuff. i love this kind of sound, so i guess i am predisposed to not finding it disposable, but i can def see how this album presents it that way

it is curiously moving at times, like the soaring instrumental break after virtual chef 1 says "1000 pounds" in the track above. maybe i'm just a sucker for his schtick.

READING RAINBOW = BLEEDING RAINBOWREASONS WE CHANGED OUR NAME FROM READING RAINBOW TO BLEEDING RAINBOW:
- We like the name Bleeding Rainbow better.
- It is trippy as shit.
- We didn't want to get a cease and desist letter from PBS.
- We were sick of being named after a children's t.v. show.
- We were sick of people fixating on it and making dumb jokes/comments about it. (even though it was our own damn fault.)
- Carrie Brownstein didn't like the name Reading Rainbow.

the moniker comes from an engraving on a statue in his old Glasgow digs, although he later discovered that it's also the name of a river confluence in New York State – "So it's quite cool, it means there's a Hudson Mohawk Kayaking Club," he reveals, proudly

You notice chillwave names are from the most mainstream of 90s children's entertainment.

yeah actually this stuff has totally moved into Internet/cyber territory over the last year or so. shifted in a large way from analog/video to virtual/digital

there are already last.fm results for bands called geocities and netscape, though not many scrobbles for either yet so there's still a chance to take those names over
