Love the artwork too.

Clips are sounding good!

I'd love to get my paws on a copy of this one but unless it gets repressed that's probably not going to happen :(

Awesome! Yeah that 12” ended up being one of my favorite releases of last year.

clips sounds great, intriguing. Her track on this is great as well: https://wearerhythmsection.bandcamp.com/track/233-2

Thanks for the tip. Just purchased.
'Roll with the punches' was released in 2019 my mistake.

Definitely excited for this one.

Hey now:

Music From Memory has announced its next compilation, Heisei No Oto - Japanese Left-field Pop From The CD Age (1989-1996).

yu su album kills

yu su album kills dogs

hell yeah

wow you sound really happy that my dog is dead :(

but what a way to go

cool

Maybe I need to spend more time with it, but didn't have the same immediate impact as Roll With The Punches for me.

May be of interest to people who enjoy MFM stuff - our man Suso Saiz is on it for instance. Looks pretty good imo:

LA OLA INTERIOR: Spanish Ambient & Acid Exoticism 1983​-​1990
by Various Artists

https://lesdisquesbongojoe.bandcamp.com/album/la-ola-interior-spanish-ambient-acid-exoticism-1983-1990

looks great. really like the available track.

love that track- sounds like a unique collection

that Yu Su album is almost great, I wish it just had a little less going on.

haha I feel that way about a lot of albums these days!

I've only heard "Xiu," which I think is fantastic, and if I could find a way to get this shipped to the US for under $40 I'd have already bought it on the basis of this track alone. Instead, I'll check out the rest to make sure I really need it.

Yeah, take the time first! I like it, but stylistic it’s so varied that it makes it tough to recommend

Roll With the Punches was very consistent

This is exceptional, can't find a scrap of info on the artist anywhere tho, sadly.

fantastic record, thanks for reminding me to listen

I love this one but my ears keep hearing "ahh, shut up" lol

From discogs they've also released music as Light in Darkness xps

On Daisyworld, no less, everything loops back to Hosono in the end :)

I'm loving this new comp of 80s Spanish ambient on the Swiss label Bongo Joe. Exactly the kind of thing I expect from MfM.

I wasn't really sure where to put this but it has that 80s 'woody' sound and this seems a good a place as any: jazz album from 1983, with synthesizers and vibes, much of which wouldn't sound out of place on a Gigi record/DJ set.

Western is particularly lovely: https://larrychernicoff.bandcamp.com/track/western

Thanks for the heads-up!
Sort of sounds somewhere btw Penguin Cafe Orchestra and Mother Mallard/David Borden (looks like I already had this Chernicoff album wantlisted on Discogs though, yet another sign of listening to too much music)

Alongside his trio collab with the younger Dutch residents as Gaussian Curve, am still holding out for a synth duo album on, say, Sacred Bones (or MFM, ha) btw Masin and A. Howarth, if only so that they could be billed as Gigi/Alan

Yes, good shout on the PCO! I don't know Mother Mallard/Borden - will have a listen.

Gigi/Alan

well played

That La Ola Interior compilation is excellent.

forthcoming comp of 90s act MLO (feat. Jon Tye of Seahawks), sick cover art

fuck, yes.

Jamie Tiller passed away in an accident over the weekend, sadly

OMG! Awful news.

tragic. rip

So shocked by this. Huge influence musically on me for the last however many years and I'm sure there's a lot of people out there who feel the same. And MfM has changed the lives of some of the artists they've put out, they really were doing god's work. His DJ sets were wonderful too. Terrible loss

This was a fun set of somewhat wonky dance stuff from a few years back with his mfm partner tako:

awful (and shocking) news. such a great DJ and obviously MfM is an incredible label.

Gigi Masin on instA:

that is very sad. rip

Very sad news. the genuine excitement of finding MfM in 2014 was a revelation, the sounds, the curation, the packaging.. it changed a lot for me.

Agreed, deeply appreciative for Jamie's positive contributions to my life. Gone far far too soon, RIP.

The new compilation (take a deep breath if you're reading this out loud), Virtual Dreams II: Ambient Explorations in the House & Techno Age, Japan 1993-1999, is really brilliant.

Some beautiful sounds, very cerebral but beats here and there also.

nice, thanks

damn, Riow Arai - 1969 sounds like a lost Orb track, loving this

Oh wow. Volume I has been a mainstay since it's release (along with the Young Marco Planet Love comps) and was only wondering the other day if there'd be a Volume II

This was the standout from my first couple of listens but in general I felt the whole thing really changed the atmosphere in my home.
