― the late great, Friday, November 21, 2014 1:13 AM (Yesterday)

In the story, Uqbar initially appears to be an obscure region of Iraq or of Asia Minor. In casual conversation with Borges, Bioy Casares recalls that a heresiarch (leader of a heretical sect) in Uqbar had declared that "mirrors and copulation are abominable, since they both multiply the numbers of men." Borges, impressed with the "memorable" sentence, asks for its source. Bioy Casares refers him to an encyclopedia article on Uqbar in the Anglo-American Cyclopaedia, described as "a literal if inadequate reprint of the Encyclopædia Britannica of 1902."[1] It emerges that Uqbar is mentioned only in the closing pages of a single volume of the Anglo-American Cyclopaedia, and that the pages describing Uqbar appear in some copies of the work, but not in others.

nice!

deep house not techno but

k15 - insecurities

is sounding very nice rn

the haslam has a funny structure, it gets so panasonicy in the middle that it's like techno ---- extended intermission on a dying space station ---- o a techno album again

during the intermission, an orb sheep / floyd pig drifts by, trans-lunar injection burn-ing

j. have you heard voiski? sort of floydian techno maybe

or just bright and kind of singular, i don't know what he reminds me of, he's french iirc, like a clearer-skies version of joey anderson or something.

need to limit this to 3-5 somehow lol. i always want more omar-s but never know what to get.

no never m, what's supposed to be good?

That split EP Omar S/Luke Hess with Automatic Night on it has to worth paying for.

j. IAI Movement is my fav.

meanwhile an rrose track came up on shuffle and idk, the dynamics are kinda boring me

hey this is extremely enjoyable, thanks!

ctrl+f "leon vynehall"

oh, well this is probably my house release of the year

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSZzrvmhBNI

yeah!

Hey, if you're looking for lots of Omar S stuff try ordering it directly from FXHE wia their site, probably going to be cheaper than anywhere else.

dude that Africans with mainframes single is something else

buy that, the joey anderson album and the black jazz consortium

omar-s: 1:4 hit miss ratio but when he hits he hits it out of the park

feel like a lot lot lot of his shit only sounds good in the context of an omar-s album or mix, it just doesn't blend well with other tracks ime

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcSgMfF9AxY

seriously though, you need this ^^

i think i am the only person that didn't grok that leon vynehall ...

that track xelab posted is great, feel like omar-s + luke hess is a winning combination

― mattresslessness,

this is really good, kind of surprised its a new record

i love 'i just want'

k15 is so good. it's retro but it does not sound like a rip-off imo, he has a distinctive voice.

stoked to hear this mr. g album

some really nice ambient techno from vancouver:

oops, i should i have checked this out earlier right?

am liking the contrast between the fairly clunky sounds and the fluid, slippery music they're making

'techno primitivism' took a while to grow on me but this new juju & jordash is great straight out of the gate

What's this Blacknecks thing the Quietus have been raving about? I don't think I get it.

i don't know that at all

yeah, the juju & jordash is great, especially the title track

how the hell do I keep getting lee gamble and lee bannon mixed up?!?

human league only ever wrote a song about one of them

"whippersnapper" from the juju & jordash album came up on shuffle and i thought i was enjoying a terrence dixon track i hadn't heard.

anyone into the reagenz album? p good imo. i always have time for move d.

My copy's still in the mail, it seems pretty hard to find in Europe, so I had to order directly from the US, and it takes ages for stuff to get from there to here.

I was a bit dismayed to find out it's a live album (I generally don't think live electronic albums are a good idea), but OTOH from what I've gathered most Mode D/Namlook albums were done "live" in the studio too (i.e. they didn't rerecord anything, though obviously there was some processing done after the recording session), so I guess it's alright... How does the album sound?

But yeah, Move D also released a solo ambient album this year, I would definitely recommend it if you're into old school droney stuff. Move D's liner notes say he feels it's requiem to Pete Namlook (even though he originally recorded it before Namlook died), I'm not sure if I can hear that, but it's a nice piece of chill, glacial space ambient.

i wouldn't worry it doesn't sound anything like a live album at all.

I don't have a lot to say about Blacknecks but I appreciate techno that doesn't take itself too seriously

this is out today, my favorite use of noise & distorted/bitcrushed textures as an element (rather than a starting point, or the whole point) maybe ever:
https://smbls.bandcamp.com/album/precinct

That new Seraphim Rytm album is really nice, it is easily the best Silent Season release since that wonderful Segue album from a couple of years back.

i can never figure out how to hear silent season stuff, which is annoying as both the descriptions i've read and their whole aesthetic are really appealing to me

anyone hear the zenker brothers album yet?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwaO6k_sQBg

This is one easy way Nick. "The album Aeterna is inspired by Tarkovsky and the use of water to create long ambient feelings for early morning in the open mountain air"

Pretty mixed reactions to Levon Vincent's new self-titled LP.

Whatchu guys thinking?

it's great i love it

haha, thanks xelab!

the zenker brothers album sounds good imo but might not be terribly exciting, i bet it sounds ace in the wild though. levon album is a must-get for me.

levon clearly doing it right tho

i didn't know there were mixed reactions to levon's album! it's so amazing
