Another variation on a well-worn theme:

Not an original trope, I’m sure, but these single tracks both dropped on the same day (i.e. today), and since they’re both in my wheelhouse, I found it kind of striking:

Rolling video connections 2019: folk-psych eccentrics Cate Le Bon and Aldus Harding plod about chalky seascapes in cherry red outfits to plodding ballads. Videos released within a few weeks of each other in early spring.

Originally a Brian Aldiss cover by the great Bruce Pennington:

Anyone?

I'll try that again

https://i.imgur.com/kblgWFG.jpg

yeah kinda

some of the angles are kind of remarkable. The slope of the horizon vs madonna's profile outline; her jawline matches roughly where two dunes meet. Anyway, this was inspired by a friend's Facebook photo of his front room where the Madonna album was lying and I immediately assumed it was Autechre until I looked closer

not the first time I've noticed uncanny correlations in Autechre stuff vs other culture:

Check out the intros of the two songs from roughly the same era:

You can even mix them over each other and they sync up quite well

oh yeah i remember that being discussed and i think i have an mp3 of them mixed, definitely a resemblance

...and immediately thought of this, one of my childhood faves, the copy of which I still have on my shelf 40 years later.

straight into my veins

This one is cracking me up right now, also RIP Stanley Cowell

(even better if you zoom out a bit so they're side by side)

Ironically, you don't need a pressurized thelonisphere to visit astral Machu Picchu, but Stanley's looks dangerous. Maybe the collapsed dimensions of his theolonisphere protect him.
