bleep & dmr:

check leo thread. i tried to rip the whole thing, but a few tracks on my copy skip :(((( maybe v4hid has a decent version?

^^^whole thing meaning whole PS LP.

beep me 911

What's the "leo thread"? Also, I've never know cause I just don't get it, but judging from the above, I think I now understand "yoga flame for all time" to be a positive statement. Anybody care to to explain?

Street Fighter

Tynan.

A few more tracks from Phantom Slasher Here.

^^^most skewed good selection/good writing ratio of any blog i've come accross.

haha, 90% of the posts on american athlete are about lindstrom/prins thomas/terje/idjuts/permanent vacation! Guy is shameless.

and 8% are about his own releases.

i bet jaxon or v4hid knows who he is IRL.

does anyone remember when andreas vollenweider was pretty much universally loathed? my co-workers reminded me that CTI was the same way once upon a time...

ha. i picked up a vollenweider album yesterday for a buck and both of these descriptions are so true. it's like the coolest/grooviest, but at the same time cheesiest thing i've ever listened to.

but also on the top of my stacks near the record player i have 2 michael franks records, something by japanese smooth jazz group Casiopea, jan hammer's miami vice soundtrack, Sky (electro-cosmic new age), and michael columbier's "old fool back on earth" (double album/ four part operatic suite that sounds like Escalator Over the Hill filtered through keith jarret & a bit of disco). seriously wtf. i'm so torn on all the music i listen to lately.

also, how is it ok that i listened to that Dire Straits album totally unironically and totally dug it just now? it kinda reminds me of MoA :-/

the map of africa lp gives me a raging god-boner

i dont understand how its possible to not hump something while you listen to this

like i just put it on my stereo and all of a sudden the room smells like sex

and then "creation myth" comes on and im like WTF BLADE RUNNER

i think this record is making me stoned

i bought a two-disc andreas vollenweider set for $5 - it's called "the trilogy", and it features "white winds", "caverna magica" and "behind the gardens" ... good stuff

i'm gonna look into sky and cassiopeia, thx jaxon ...

best new MoA track = "the bone"

So do we know yet when the CD version is coming out, or if it'll be as absurdly limited as the LP? Because I really really really like this, especially "Creation Myth," and a clean digital copy would be aces.

check yr email telephone thing

Thanks! Very much appreciated.

vahid, don't search for casiopeia. it's not that good. i have a single that i sorta like that's sunny balearic jazzy disco, but it's definitely on the verge of just straight smooth jazz. i think i could do a re-edit and cut out the worst bits. the full length album i have i don't think is good.

oh, and there are probably like 50 bands named Sky. look for the one w/Francis Monkman and guitarist John williams

The MoA LP is great, once your affective shield is lowered, which mine most certainly now is (although Sky? fercrissakes, we've got to draw a line somewhere). However, for the most part it's not actually very 'cosmic'-sounding (as in spacy and out there, not the italian club or whatever), and it's at its best when it is. My favourite track from the singles was actually Off the coast, which appears in a different version here as Ely Cathedral. I love that whole psychedelic east anglia, sound of the fens, thing they're pushing, cos it's so weird. The track Map of Africa is fantastic as well, though.

Obviously part of the point of it is to open our ears to a kind of rock that is SO unfashionable, but also to have a laugh (if you listen to the interview on that Disco Devils mix they seem to think it's hilarious that they've started a rock band). And that sense that they're not entirely serious gets in the way a bit for me.

By 'not entirely serious' I of course mean that they're taking the piss.

"Cut off shorts-uh. On a vicar's daughter".

Er, yes, well.

decent Prins Thomas interview:

I hadn't realized that Andreas Vollenweider already recieved the Todd Terje Treatment:

hey dmr:

h4rvey played about 12 minute of Supernature last nite and people went nuts like they rarely do in HNL. mixed out of it into this:

http://www.discogs.com/release/899544
http://mp3.juno.co.uk/MP3/SF254743-01-01-01.mp3

nice! yeah I need to get some of those wurst edits. I have heard a couple on beats in space or whatever and listened to them at the store but didn't get any yet.

been listening to supernature sooo much lately

However, for the most part it's not actually very 'cosmic'-sounding (as in spacy and out there, not the italian club or whatever), and it's at its best when it is.

otm. "Creation Myth" is one of the best tracks but it's a 2-minute-long instrumental ...

Obviously part of the point of it is to open our ears to a kind of rock that is SO unfashionable

ummm ... not so much out on the west coast. i remember 10 years ago in college, dudes who were putting on kit clayton and carl craig shows in san francisco were unironically pushing peter frampton and rush records on me

and dudes like doc martin and the hardkiss guys have always repped for hendrixes and doors and so forth ... and stoner rock is still much much more popular out here than minimal house (or even postpunk or freak folk)

i hate to say it but from my perspective this bold beardo house thing might be almost more of an accomodation to the listening sensibilities of a crowd who no doubt know carl craig's gavin + delia remix but might not know who xpress 2 is.

hi

are beardo edits the new electroclash?

mike simonetti started that exact thread a year or so ago.

are disco edits the new electroclash?

anyway, Runaway is Jacques Renault and Marcos Cabral.

sorry, you're probably referencing that thread...

i'm listening to the orb's remix of material's "praying mantra", it's very cosmic innit
