"Barging into this thread only to say that I wish both Solex and Mira Calix would release more albums (yes I know they're still working, but still)"
Alas Mira Calix passed away in March. I remember liking Skimskitta but I always wondered if she was a pseudonym for someone else on Warp. It turns out that she helped keep the label running in the background, which is why she had such a spartan discography. I was going to say "she was the only woman on the Artificial Intelligence compilations" but she wasn't actually on the Artificial Intelligence compilations. She was on Blech II.
Radio 3 did a tribute, now sadly unavailable:https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0015v5h
Just for fun I remember going through the roster of Mille Plateaux Records and City Centre Offices and and Fax Records and counting all of the female musicians and "not British, German, or Japanese" musicians, and giving up because there weren't any. Which is probably true of any cross-section of heavy metal labels, but this music was supposed to be progressive.
It struck me as a kid that literally all of the acts on the European Warp equivalents* etc were male twentysomething graphic design students who spent their lives flying between Tokyo, Berlin, and London, which I suppose was a kind of wish-fulfillment fantasy if you were a teenager back then but ye gods a lot of that music is generic and indistinguishable from itself nowadays.
* Warp itself has working-class people, so it doesn't quite count.

Sky Arts showed Sisters With Transistors on friday which was a good watch, all the early female pioneers in original footage. (everything else they showed is being repeated throughout the week but i can't see a repeat for this before friday)
couple of new names to me: clara rockmore and maryanne amacher, the latter of who wins for noticeably scaring thurston moore.

I’m sure I used to “play out” Amacher’s ear dances at our old Greenwich gatherings, koogs. Good way to clear the room at the end of the evening.

oh and there is a new Karen Gwyer! It’s under Karen Lee Gwyer on Bandcamp. Solid albeit nothing startling.

had a look in programme guide and listings for a repeat of the Sisters with Transistors and can't see one 8(
if you can remember the old Greenwich gatherings you weren't really there. or you left early to get back to the other side of london before the rave music started.
