this record is my little secret

"Michel Publicity Window" is one of the best long-form compositions in modern music and I will defend that opinion in the Supreme Court.

I got this on 2LP but it does not have that song, still over 100 minutes long. Haven't formed much of an impression yet.

*WHAT*

Have you heard much Nurse With Wound LJ?
I mean is this album radically different to NWW or is it just another thing I can get round to hearing eventually?

Right now, Optical Black sounds like the most ominous, monstrous music going. Listening to it is like watching the shadows of slowly descending spacecraft.

Optical Black, man. It's pretty much perfect. And it ain't even the best track on the album (probably). Speaking of which, if the album was just Disc 1 and "Terrible" from Disc 2 instead of "Abuse Foundation IV" (with an option of throwing in "We, The Descending" or "Home Butt Club" as well) you'd actually have one of the 5 best albums of the decade, IMO. And the cut-offs would still form a superb record in their own right. Thighpaulsandra is/was a genius. I need to get his other albums. That barely anyone else on ILM has heard OF this let alone heard it is deeply saddening for me.

Fuck it, this is going in my decade-end top 5 anyway. Maybe even top 3.

NV was asking upthread how this compares to NWW, I'm also curious if it is similar to Thighpaulsandra's work with Coil?
― Joint Dark Energy Mission (I am using your worlds), Sunday, 11 January 2009 19:58 (fifteen years ago) link
If you're thinking about the long epic trancey synth pieces of the Musick To Play In The Dark volumes, no it's not very similar (which was kind of a bummer for me). This record is a lot more complex, and reminds me of the weirder moments on the Black Light District album. Worthwhile, just don't go into it expecting stuff like those Coil pieces, or Time Machines, or Queens Of The Circulating Library (all of which feature TPS prominently).

Really wonder where this rad faerie's gotten to
Listening to Coil's 'Red Birds Will Fly Out Of The East And Destroy Paris In A Night' I'm practically quaking beneath his synthesisers. A fucking magician. Have any of you seen his studio tours on Youtube?

He's back.
And fuck me he's sounding good.

"Thipes" to his friends (OK, Julian Cope anyway)
― Mark G, Monday, 12 October 2015 17:56 (eight years ago) link
There have been some cool studio tours of his on Youtube for a while but I will definitely check that out yeah
He's no longer mates with Copey btw - the latter wasn't so hip to his S&M deal

New album is fucking amazing obv

Coming up on eMego:
UUUU is a new outfit featuring Edvard Graham Lewis, Thighpaulsandra, Matthew Simms and Valentina Magaletti.Individually these humans have implanted feathers in caps such as Coil, Dome, Wire, Tomaga, etc. Collectively they form UUUU, a powerhouse construction of fierce and free sonic exploration, as liberating as it is frightening, resulting in, the richly rewarding. The artists united present a project of exquisite curiosity and confident chaos where the individual thumbprints mesh into a gloriously muscular frenetic free sonic soup. It's Going All Over The Floor presents itself as a terse meeting between dance, ambient, abstraction and improvisation. The Latent Black Path Of Summons Served proceeds in a tense energy field where random elements bounce around until locking into a fourth world pattern designed to fall into a dense mass of ecstatic noise. Boots with Wings is classic Lewis - a pop tune from the other side of the mind.UUUU is a schizophrenic seething/soothing masterpiece of a past/present hybrid equally at home in the club, the home and the mind.
