yeah, markus nikolai /= perlon, despite his relations to the label; his stuff on headinghome, for instance, is nothing like the perlon sound.

btw, everyone must buy morane's new record on more down than out. summer smash. un hitazo!

― philip sherburne (philip sherburne), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 10:26 (eighteen years ago) link

I thought you didn't like Morane?

― Jedmond (Jedmond), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 14:06 (eighteen years ago) link

Not that I'm complaing about Morane boosting (just so you know).

― Jedmond (Jedmond), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 14:06 (eighteen years ago) link

i didn't like one of the 12"s on perlon (and maybe i need to revisit it) but this one is a corker through and through.

― philip sherburne (philip sherburne), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 15:55 (eighteen years ago) link

Which one was that?

― Jedmond (Jedmond), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 16:17 (eighteen years ago) link

I need to be convinced about Morane.

― Edgware General (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 16:39 (eighteen years ago) link

The last Morane 12" is awesome - perfect summer time house stuff.

what do folks think about the matt john single? i think it's beguiling stuff. it's just as housey and smooth as parts of the ark album and has nice cut-up textures. really pushing. it has that perlon quality where you don't know if you've been listening for 10 minutes or an hour. supposedly there is an album in the works too.

i'm also curious as to what you guys think about the last villalobos single.

― tricky (disco stu), Monday, 26 September 2005 21:56 (eighteen years ago) link

on the first listen i wasn't too sure but after a couple of plays, i really, really liked it. i really love how perlon has opened up it's sonic palette. the last villalobos was the first perlon 12" i haven't bought. am i missing out?

upcoming - dandy jack lp and a stefan goldman ep.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Monday, 26 September 2005 22:03 (eighteen years ago) link

I hear there's a new Pantytec early next year. can't WAIT.

― Matos-Webster Dictionary (M Matos), Monday, 26 September 2005 22:12 (eighteen years ago) link

i love that they are opening up their sonic palette too. the records sound bigger without compromising what you'd typically expect perlon to deliver.

that said, the villalobos single is sort of a hybrid affair. i am being lazy and calling it a dancefloor-friendly version of his last album. lots of deep stuff and improv going on, but the groove is front and center...well at least as close to front and center as he gets!

― tricky (disco stu), Monday, 26 September 2005 22:21 (eighteen years ago) link

it's a lot less obscure sounding than his klf remixes, but it's definitely cut from the same mold, especially the b-side. (i absolutely love the klf remixes and they were the basis for the album iirc so this all makes sense. maybe.)

i am curious if they are going to do anything special for release number 50.

― tricky (disco stu), Monday, 26 September 2005 22:42 (eighteen years ago) link

did anybody mention this luciano/mathew jonson co-op? it's sooo awesome! ("alpine rocket"). there's also some rumour going on about this stefan goldmann ep, with ricardo and hawtin spinning it to death - and at a night the test pressing got stolen right off ricardo's deck! now that's crazy. also looking forward to the dandyjack album. hmm...

― paulmall, Saturday, 1 October 2005 10:55 (eighteen years ago) link

i'm planning to play the B1 of the matt john tonight - seems like the most floor-friendly (sorry) track on the EP. the A side is nice, i still have no idea what's going on into it... much more k-housey than the B-side, more villalobosy with an akufen feel. i think it would clear most floors in BCN, though.

the new melchior is really nice as well.

― philip sherburne (philip sherburne), Saturday, 1 October 2005 15:46 (eighteen years ago) link

predictably i like the a side (it gets floor-friendly a few minutes in iirc). i will have to check the new melchior!

― tricky (disco stu), Sunday, 2 October 2005 04:01 (eighteen years ago) link

ah, by the way: perl 50 is the dandyjack-album ...

― paulmall, Sunday, 2 October 2005 15:38 (eighteen years ago) link

philip, are you talking about "galeria de bahia" or something newer? i thought "galeria" was surprisingly peak hour stuff. i mean it's still subtly repetitive and all of his stuff has that tracky dj tool feel (which i love), but this one feels like an attempt at a more mainstream feel instead of the after-after-hours vibe his stuff usually projects.

i would love if perlon released new work along the lines of the collaboration behind the "windowshopping" single (baby ford, zip, and melchior).

― tricky (disco stu), Sunday, 2 October 2005 17:40 (eighteen years ago) link

The new Dandy Jack CD on Perlon is ace. Funky and totally immersive, with a bit of a Nature Records flavour too (ie, Raiders of the Lost Arp, Marco Passarini.) In fact, some tracks might even be a bit too self involved/complex for the dancefloor? I have somewhat determined this by noticing the record sounded twice as good listening as I went to sleep last night then when I was taking the train to work.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Thursday, 20 October 2005 22:53 (eighteen years ago) link

I put that on and after ten minutes I thought, "ah, another Perlon record. GOOD."

― Matos-Webster Dictionary (M Matos), Friday, 21 October 2005 00:26 (eighteen years ago) link

yay! so is the similarity to nature melodic or rhythmic?

― tricky (disco stu), Friday, 21 October 2005 00:48 (eighteen years ago) link

one month passes...

the new perlon - 'my auntie' by cassy is rocking my day.

i think it's a shame they didn't get kalabrese to make more records. his two non perlon releases this year have been fab.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Thursday, 15 December 2005 19:39 (eighteen years ago) link

Perlon please please please please start selling digital downloads.

That Dandy Jack double pack is really swell.

― jeffery (jeffery), Thursday, 15 December 2005 20:38 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah heard the new Dandy Jack is brilliant.

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 15 December 2005 22:46 (eighteen years ago) link

i guess the dandy jack requires deep listening. i've skimmed through it a couple of times in the shops but it didn't make me want to buy it (i think it's the only perlon record i've not bought). everyone however tells me it's great. i just wish i had the time for deep listening!

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Thursday, 15 December 2005 22:55 (eighteen years ago) link

It's true, deep listening really helped me out with the record. It's in my top ten of the year.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Friday, 16 December 2005 00:07 (eighteen years ago) link

cassy's "my auntie" is a great single! the tunes are hypnotic and rhythmically disorienting like the best perlon, but take the sound somewhere closer to classic jacking house. is cassy the first (solo) woman to release on perlon?

― tricky (disco stu), Friday, 16 December 2005 01:42 (eighteen years ago) link

umming & ahhing over narcotic syntax's calculated extravagent licentiousness & reptile sweat accelerator EPs. anyone want to make a case for/against their purchase?

― etc, Friday, 16 December 2005 03:55 (eighteen years ago) link

Mind if I a) agree with Cassy love, b) agree with Dandy Jack love, c) make a very brief case for purchasing Narcotic Syntax d) agree with Stirmonster's views regarding Kalabrese, except for the fact I only know of one recent Kalabrese release (the excellent "Huhnerfest" on Stattmusik) and would like to know more about his other release.

― Jedmond (Jedmond), Friday, 16 December 2005 04:58 (eighteen years ago) link

"calculated extravagent licentiousness"....

Yes! do it....one of my fav perlon tracks. that swinging latin and echo'd drum sound just gets the people moving around the floor. the kinda tune that makes people put one arm up in the air and jump on one leg

― matte (matte), Friday, 16 December 2005 06:51 (eighteen years ago) link

i work for a digital download company and we have the Perlon cataloge for sell. well, when we launch, we'll have the entire Perlon cataloge plus loads of other likeminded stuff. it's coming, be patient.

― biz, Friday, 16 December 2005 17:13 (eighteen years ago) link

YSI?

(j/k)

― Oh Oh Oh Oh Ah (fandango), Friday, 16 December 2005 17:19 (eighteen years ago) link

this is the other one jedmond. he only has one track on it but what a track! when he sings the line about 'john coltrane', people lose it.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Friday, 16 December 2005 17:26 (eighteen years ago) link

Thanks, I just heard a snippet at a store and have to track it down now.

In regards to the Dandy Jack album, if you just want to skim it, I'd say go from the end of "Arabs in the Desert" and into the beginning of "Samba Lubeck". To semi-repeat myself, in regards to the Dandy Jack album, if you want to give it a deeper listen, I'd say go from the beginning of "Arabs in the Desert" and through to the end of "Samba Lubeck".

― Jedmond (Jedmond), Friday, 16 December 2005 23:45 (eighteen years ago) link

"Casper House" was the most immediate track on my first listen to the Dandy Jack album.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Saturday, 17 December 2005 00:31 (eighteen years ago) link

once again, i will stand 200% behind the dandy jack album (and at first i didn't like it AT ALL)... i really think it needs to be listened to in its entirety, over quite a bit of time... skimming just won't reveal much.

the stefann goldmann is fucking fantastic. three killer tracks.

just bought cassy yesterday but haven't listened yet.

― philip sherburne (philip sherburne), Saturday, 17 December 2005 14:30 (eighteen years ago) link

it's prime 5am endup material. :)

― tricky (disco stu), Saturday, 17 December 2005 19:10 (eighteen years ago) link

I am convinced the reason people don't like better music over here is that clubs must close at 3. All this stuff goes in weird post 3am directions.

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 17 December 2005 20:03 (eighteen years ago) link

i think the cassy would work in a primetime set though, but because it's perlon it's a really flexible record too. when i say "5am endup material", i am actually referring to a san francisco club that plays dark, dubby and pumping house starting really late in the night and going past dawn where people really dance. it's very much an anything goes serious nightclubbing type of vibe.

― tricky (disco stu), Saturday, 17 December 2005 20:14 (eighteen years ago) link

i intend to play it at 2am (ish) tonight.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Saturday, 17 December 2005 20:17 (eighteen years ago) link

sweet! i am probably going to go hear dan bell tonight, maybe he will play it. he was supposed to play with zip too, but no zip...

― tricky (disco stu), Saturday, 17 December 2005 20:29 (eighteen years ago) link

that zip still eludes me. one day.....

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Saturday, 17 December 2005 20:31 (eighteen years ago) link

you should have a perloptimo night!

― tricky (disco stu), Saturday, 17 December 2005 20:59 (eighteen years ago) link

i intend to! i have around a dozen perlons in my box, all filed in order of each successive colour scheme change. nerd!

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Saturday, 17 December 2005 21:10 (eighteen years ago) link

nerdy, yet undeniably classic!! you'll have to let us know if you do the night.

― tricky (disco stu), Saturday, 17 December 2005 21:25 (eighteen years ago) link

oh, i see. a whole night of perlon? i have a feeling i'd be the only person round my way who'd enjoy it.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Saturday, 17 December 2005 21:32 (eighteen years ago) link

i was going to ask how the whorehouse has been going down.

i didn't necessarily mean a whole night, more like get zip to play with you guys.

― tricky (disco stu), Saturday, 17 December 2005 21:35 (eighteen years ago) link

although i bet a perloptimo mastermix would be hot.

― tricky (disco stu), Saturday, 17 December 2005 21:35 (eighteen years ago) link

we're doing a whorehouse tonight in glasgow, hence all the perlons. but yes, that is a plan for next year to do a perlon night with zip and hopefully former perloners morane live.

i'd almost given up on perlon but the new mara trax (b-side especially) is refreshingly great.

― stirmonster, Wednesday, 14 March 2012 16:22 (twelve years ago) link

heard the a-side played a few times last year...bside of the new fumiya tanaka is good too (337)

― post, Wednesday, 14 March 2012 19:16 (twelve years ago) link

"sini est" by ric y martin (villalobos and dandy jack) is INCREDIBLE.

― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 15 March 2012 12:18 (twelve years ago) link

The Portable album is A+, exactly what I wanted from him.

― Jedmond, Thursday, 15 March 2012 12:24 (twelve years ago) link

nine years pass...

super late to these but the two Chris Korda releases are really excellent, especially Apologize to the Future. cool and unexpected to encounter antinatalist thought in a relatively "mainstream" space. also musically feels like somewhat of a return to Perlon's more quirky, irreverent roots

― missingNO, Thursday, 7 October 2021 04:31 (two years ago) link

PERL 39 side B is p nuts, starts off sounding like sub-menu BGM from like a nondescript golf simulator on Sega Megadrive or something replete w/ requisite Japanese monologue then suddenly mutates into a tom-tom led schaffel groove lol

― missingNO, Friday, 8 October 2021 17:17 (two years ago) link

three weeks pass...

worth noting that currently hard to find for a reasonable price PERL 34 has been re-pressed and is due out next month—it's a fun one!
