thing about the ital rec is that it sux

yeah, i ended up not really being into it after giving it a few tries

you guys must not like minimalism

wow. nice discussion. i love the internet.

thanks dan and jorge

Umm... Marlowe, Phil Sherburne explores some of those links you're making between minimalisms in his essay from the Audio Culture book, fyi.

Repress of African Rhythms!?!?! I must acquire!

"...Phil Sherburne explores some of those links..."

Thx, will check it out.

Gonna see Ital, Magic Touch, Maria Minerva and LA Vampires tonite in Amsterdam for the 100% Silk label tour. I sort of have mixed expectations about the live shows, but will report back.

Anyone else seen these guys perform?

See you at OT301, then!

Saw Maria Minerva play to a very enervated Subbacultcha crowd at the same venue earlier in the year (the usual thing where the gig was free for members and they couldn't give a fuck about who was performing, talking/boozing with friends) to no great effect, and I saw Ital play a very sweaty set in Utrecht last year, albeit to a crowd that was mainly there to see Twin Sister.
Hoping for a more dance-friendly atmosphere tonight.

Ah, cool!

Yeah, that's been my experience with Subbacultcha crowds, there can be a sense of indifference to the actual acts that comes along with that subscription model, I suppose.

So, Ital. Really good live. He was on a bit early maybe, considering the kind of twisted banging music he played, but I was not at all disappointed.

Yeah, Ital bought the trackiness - much better crowd response than at EKKO, and I really like how into it he gets while performing. Nice sushi chef/masseuse keyboard hammering, heh. Missed Maria Minerva's set; L.A. Vampires were a lot songier than I expected, with "Wherever, Boy" a highlight. Loved how Amanda was dancing up front to the other acts!

I went to the Holocene on my one visit there. Saw Soft Metals, Joey Casio and somebody else with an amazing collection of Roland gear (any help?).

somehow i never went to holocene in the year and a half i lived there. i think a friend scared me off of it.

in other news, octo octa continues being good, kinda http://vimeo.com/41865217

it's true that house bangers totally clear the floor there, sigh

I went to this 100% Silk tour show last night. Maria Minerva was a revelation, so much more dramatic and punchier than her recorded material, but really endearing as a performer. Ital was great too. Not so much "banging" as "noisy" and for a guy whose live show consists of a projector and him turning knobs on gear, he was fun to watch. Innergaze were dreadful though, between their lacklustre show and the fact it was a school night meant I didn't hang around. The highlight was watching Amanda Brown going wild at the front of an otherwise stationary dancefloor.

Sounds cool. I'm going to the London leg tomorrow, which is at Birthdays in Dalston.

i went to the paris show and it was super good, best set ive seen la vampires do p much ever. had low expectations tbh cuz when i saw the label tour in la/toronto it was p w/e and ppl werent that into it but the place was packed and ppl were dancing and it was a really good time. it was funny how much 'clubbier' the stuff played tho

here are some things i have found underwhelming lately

- minimal wave

- hivern disc

- octa octa

- american acid (vis a vis british acid)

some of it is just lol

craigslist after dark lolz

here is some stuff along the vein of this music though that i have found compelling

http://perseverancevinylique.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/don-preston-filters-oscillators-and-envelopes-1967-75-300x300.jpg

electronic prog rock in the vein of klaus schulze, yet infected with the whimsy and rowdy conceptual bent of frank zappa and the bass pressure of early uk soundsystem pioneers bill laswell, jah wobble, coldcut and daevid allen, this inspired crucial acid house artists / soccer hooligans / national front members the klf and edgar varese as well as inspiring "newbuild" and "90125", thus laying the groundwork for both the hacienda as well as the entire bass 'nuum

http://cdn.thelineofbestfit.com/wp-content/media/2012/04/personal-space.jpg

raw US house productions in the vein of detroit house masters like madlib, w/ strong traces of the self-indulgence that european house artists like ame,henrik schwarz and moodyman would milk to death

new links

inspired drexciya iirc

stop putting Panda Bear on your albums people

i've never really understood that whole opinion— the track on the new TGF is pretty good, and his appearance on "Black Noise" was quite awesome. to me it just seems like generic "OMG some hipster guy invading my precious sub-genre" bullshit.

i don't have a problem with PB in Animal Collective. I just don't think he adds anything as a guest vocalist

OTOH that Talabot track with the dude from Delorean would probably better with PB.

"OMG some hipster guy invading my precious sub-genre" bullshit

i don't want any hipsters in my hipster house, thanks

is anyone else into this innergaze album?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihyHkFWFqMg&feature=related

not really house at all but who cares, this is great

ha I thought "innergaze" was some new genre.

is anyone else into this innergaze album?

yeah its crazy good posted about it elsewhere on ilm tho

where? was it in your forest thread or w/e, i haven't had time to do much other than check bookmarks lately

yeah, probably, i just remember posting about it

i'm listening to minimal wave on a sunny day and ... fuck, it's actually kind of cool?

songs like this have not only a cool detroit techno flashback vibe but also a "computer incantations for world peace", hardly as dark-sounding in the right context as people make it out to be, more mystical than anything else

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fAIYkwLjJc

sampled by madlib i believe for this gem

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnNc7-OzyWI

ha I just listened to Minimal Wave Tapes last night. this track I had never noticed before really stuck out.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AE7KOI0eLw

vocals are deadpan but has a pop element to it too, in the call and response. and the breathier female parts remind me of something really specific that I can't put my finger on. cool song.

she did a great job with those comps, they're really good

i know what you mean! the part at 1:00 sounds EXACTLY like something else

some italo thing like sharevari

madlib also used

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxhkQbfA0fI

guess he built that track around minimal wave tapes 1

Loving that Oppenheimer Analysis album, thanks for the heads up here

there's not like the finest line between that and this

Getting a bit of a Saint Etienne Foxbase Alpha vibe from the new LA Vampires/Maria Minerva record. Nice album:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdhdGJ9A0xg

Also, has the new Ital Dream On been mentioned? Another interesting release from him.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEkHtIrq4RU

that maria/la vampires record is so good.

there is a nice little scene germinating in my city (vancouver). was at a delightful party last night. here's the promo mix they did for it. all local artists!

http://soundcloud.com/mood-hut/mood-hut-mix-005

So, what's the best of this stuff in 2012? I've not really kept up. I liked the first Ital LP but now I see there's another one. The Maria Minerva / LA Vampires sound interesting, I'll check that out - what with all my SE love.

i'm digging the new holly herndon full length on RVNG

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frmJKaPT5U8

the album drifts between minimalist noise composition and more uptempo moments like the track above

not sure if there's a rational reason to put it in this thread, but i'm not really sure where else i'd put it so

Really feeling that Holly Herndon album, it's like the Laurel Halo one if it was as easy to listen to as it is to admire.

i found that laurel halo album unbelievably disappointing so maybe ms herndon is the lass for me
