Great news! And I had a day off so yeah it adds to my holiday feel thank u very much.(semi-related: there's a track on the Helena Hauff record that sounds very BMS to me)

Stoked for the madness, and looking forward to the vocal track - his s/t "Night Sky" was a big favourite; sounded like Hawkwind sounded in my head when I first read about them, heh.
Did anyone hear his Hail Of Arrows cassette from earlier this year that that Quietus link talks about, or the Knight Skyy 12" from 2012?

Horse Follows Darkness is the second record by Delia Gonzalez, her follow up to the album “In Remembrance”. The title is taken from a werewolf genre film her 8 year old son Wolfgang had created. At this time, Wolfgang also turned Delia onto a genre of cinema she had always resisted - the American Western.
"Delia explains that what she observed “was all relevant - the album is based on our personal experience of moving back to America (from Berlin) and the journey that followed. The record is a manifestation of that, and what one creates for themselves under the given circumstances. Coming back to America, I felt like a foreigner and NYC / America felt like the Wild West. Most Westerns from the 1960s to the present have revisionist themes. Many were made by emerging major filmmakers who saw the Western as an opportunity to expand their criticism of American society and values into a new genre.”
The narrative of the record is one of re-encountering the frontier mentality that shaped the country but somehow never faded. This time as a foreigner. The genre of the Western remains pertinent, many of the same stories of that brutally deromanticised era are still relevant today. America hasn’t changed - the cast, times and settings have, but we still hold onto the same ideal. Horse Follows Darkness is essentially a modern electronic soundtrack for the Revisionist Western. Even the idea for the record cover is inspired by one of the most well known modern Westerns, Robert Altman’s McCabe & Mrs Miller.
The album was recorded with Abe Seiferth at Transmitter Park studios, which Delia likens to “going to the finest tailor”. Abe became an integral part of the recording, playing guitar and helping to suggest experimenting with different synthesizers, something Delia was keen to do. Delia refers to Abe as a magical and incredibly intuitive collaborator” regarding the sound of the record. The music that emerged from these recording sessions combines a range of influences - from the compositions of Erik Satie to ‘Salon De Musique’, the solo piano record by Su Tissue (of the L.A. punk band Suburban Lawns). The record also took on a much different shape and sound with the introduction of the Sequential Circuits Prophet VS, as well as a vintage Korg Poly synth and the Roland SH-101. The golden era Krautrock recordings of bands like Neu!, Cluster & Harmonia were touchstones as well, the repetition, swirling soundscapes and locked-in rhythm tracks.”

casual friday was the best thing released on dfa in its heyday
― plax (ico), Friday, 31 July 2020 20:13 (three years ago) link
this is my opinion
― plax (ico), Friday, 31 July 2020 20:14 (three years ago) link
Carl Craig mix of Relevee came close

lol rude
― plax (ico), Tuesday, 4 August 2020 21:09 (three years ago) link
I love Casual Friday to death. One I managed to play it during a set, blended into something else around the halfway point, played other stuff for an hour or so, then blended back into the second half of it to end the set; it went over REALLY well.
I would also call Days of Mars the best LP ever released on DFA.
― The Troops™ (jamescobo), Thursday, 6 August 2020 00:50 (three years ago) link
Yeah probably right. Feel like I'm ready to hear some DFA stuff again, most best of stuff focuses on the first golden age (circa 04?) But would really enjoy a recap of the good stuff coming out around 09 that felt like a great second wind
― plax (ico), Thursday, 6 August 2020 18:19 (three years ago) link
the two Still Going singles (07 and 09) on DFA are great!

I liked that black meteor star “dawn” single that sounded like a distorted 20 minute John carpenter jam

haha i was just searching for "crooked man" on discogs to see if there are any other good tunes they remixed besides roisin but all i found was this not-great blondie track from 2017
― Give me a Chad Smith-type feel (map), Thursday, 6 August 2020 21:46 (three years ago) link
Amy Douglas wrote the new Roisin song, Something More.

It was someone called Bryce Hackford that did that Delia remix brimstead posted (thanks, I had never heard it). I'd never heard of him either but I'm listening to a new album of his, called Safe (Exits) rn, and liking it quite a bit.
