Oh jeez ... what AECO tune did they butcher?

"Theme de Yo Yo", sans vocals, natch. It was ARGGGH-ifying.

anyone listened to this lately? i think it's aged much better than the tortoise stuff.

the drone dissolving into the concrete then the emergence of the acoustic passages and finally the abstract jungle beats into reverse synth bleeding.

Rockist: 'The Bar' is available on the three disc version of Perfect Lives, but it's a slightly different recording. That is an exceptional piece. He should get a whole thread, I'm an Ashley fanatic.

I didn't know the Ashley piece was based on someone else's poem.
― Rockist Scientist (rockistscientist), Saturday, 3 January 2004 01:26 (twenty years ago) link
and the only thing the tortoise piece has in common with the ashley piece is the namedrop. still no need to listen to tortoise.

But I bought some later Ashley that didn't hook me in, so I've kind of backed off from his work. (I can't think of the title right now, but it was a large-scale opera type thing.) Also, "The Bar" is really my favorite part of that Perfect Lives work.
I guess one of us should start an Ashley thread. You know more than I do, but if you start one some time, I'll chime in, maybe think of something new to say (maybe not).

didn't mean to be anti-Tortoise above, they certainly were better than many things in the 90's.

frustrating to realize only the rough tape survived. think of what they could have done with a more detailed mixdown.

I don't see what the big deal with the "tape crash" thing is.

When I think of tortoise I can only think of how I have the vinyl of TNT and wonder if I can get money for it

They’re quietly gearing up to release new music, and this is part of that. (Tour and reissue, not links that briefly don’t work.)
