Jed - there's a new TRJJ EP out on Stroom. Just so you know

paolo, Sunday, 15 September 2019 08:51 (four years ago) link

cheers, paolo. I've been buying things from their own page too, many of which are one euro or pay what you want.

can recommend the Wanda Holt releases.

ban golf (jed_), Monday, 16 September 2019 00:34 (four years ago) link

and the Subaru one which, iirc, is free if you want it free. bandcamp doesn't show me the price any more because I already have it. I never pay nothing for "pay what you want" releases, fwiw.

ban golf (jed_), Monday, 16 September 2019 01:17 (four years ago) link

and forgotten Scottish wonders Vazz, too.

stirmonster, Monday, 16 September 2019 12:50 (four years ago) link

Going back to MFM, Test Pressing have been repping this new Toshifumi Hinata comp. Haven't heard it myself but looks interesting:

the shakti reissue on stroom is sublime

that's awesome.

What a ridiculous clusterfuck of totally uncool jokers (jed_), Sunday, 29 September 2019 20:01 (four years ago) link

the Shakti reissue has "Rainbows" which features Jade 4U (of "Injected With A Poison" fame) which I've been hoping would turn up for a few years since I heard it in a Dream Chimney mix

really into this bit of pop-reggae which has been reissued on Smiling C, similar axis to the outsider pop failures that Stroom and MfM are unearthing

boxedjoy, Sunday, 29 September 2019 20:54 (four years ago) link

Have been really enjoying this MfM mix: https://soundcloud.com/music-from-memory/mfm-mix-008-dk

Anyone seen Ziggy from Stroom DJing? Because I'm going to see him in a few weeks >>>>>

Their recent EP from Benjamin Lew is a bit special

paolo, Tuesday, 3 December 2019 11:22 (four years ago) link

Contains three tracks from Benjamin Lew and Steven Brown's excellent Douzième Journée: Le Verbe, La Parure, L'Amour, from 1982. A bit weird that Brown is not credited on this 12" release.

willem, Tuesday, 3 December 2019 13:43 (four years ago) link

is that in Glasgow paolo? I can't imagine it not being excellent

boxedjoy, Tuesday, 3 December 2019 20:16 (four years ago) link

Sure is! Wanna go?

https://www.residentadvisor.net/events/1352923

I've heard a few mixes from Ziggy/Nosedrip and they've been excellent but more for home listening, so it'll be interesting to hear what kind of stuff he plays in the club. I'm old enough that I'd be happy with six hours of home listening music in the club though.

paolo, Wednesday, 4 December 2019 09:39 (four years ago) link

they put this out a few years ago but I've only just heard it. really good. liquid liquid-ish.

Its the same night as my Xmas work night out. I'll need to "have a word" and see how early and easily I can sneak out

boxedjoy, Wednesday, 4 December 2019 12:29 (four years ago) link

Did either of you (or anyone else) go? I am willing to bet it was far better than my attendance at an ABBA tribute night

boxedjoy, Saturday, 21 December 2019 14:03 (four years ago) link

It was great! Ziggy and his pal Victor de Roo know how to work a crowd. They even played some garage, which I did not see coming.

paolo, Saturday, 21 December 2019 20:09 (four years ago) link

breaking my heart here

Love this Pablo's Eye track from the Stroom compilation, the one called Bardo for Pablo.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5Mr49X22w4

The album is good but this track is awesome.

(I take it this is the low countries reissuers thread rather than just MfM)

Stroom's pricing angle on Bandcamp kinda frustrates me. It's €12.50 + vat to buy from them on there but you can but it on boomkat for £3.99 (inc vat) and the vinyl was only €16+vat initially. often they put things on at the same price for digital d/l and vinyl and the vinyl includes a digital d/l! MfM too also charge too much for digital only, imo. Obv they both do good work and I'd like to support them on bandcamp, ideally, but it's not very helpful at times.

Heavy Messages (jed_), Monday, 11 May 2020 22:00 (three years ago) link

The drums on that track are so great.

Heavy Messages (jed_), Monday, 11 May 2020 22:01 (three years ago) link

this one, for example:

https://stroomtv.bandcamp.com/album/cloud-over-maroma

Buy Record/Vinyl €20 EUR or more

Buy Digital Album €20 EUR or more

Heavy Messages (jed_), Monday, 11 May 2020 22:44 (three years ago) link

and the vinyl

Includes unlimited streaming of Cloud Over Maroma via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

Heavy Messages (jed_), Monday, 11 May 2020 22:45 (three years ago) link

it's £6.99 on boomkat.

Sorry to make the thread about this, it just seems like bad at business. Totally love and support everything they do.

Heavy Messages (jed_), Monday, 11 May 2020 22:49 (three years ago) link

MfM and the more chill Stroom releases (especially the Cybe album) have been on heavy rotation at Chez Paolo during the current unpleasantness. I've got about £70 worth of MfM records arriving in the post sometime soon as well

paolo, Tuesday, 12 May 2020 08:41 (three years ago) link

xp

No that's totally a peeve with some labels' digital or specifically Bandcamp pricing, especially with the VAT thing. It makes it an awkward choice if nothing 3lse, and takes the piss really as they will be making proportionally more straight profit on the digitial.

ceci n'est pas un ppe (Noel Emits), Tuesday, 12 May 2020 09:04 (three years ago) link

Nice one, paolo, what did you buy?

Heavy Messages (jed_), Tuesday, 12 May 2020 16:14 (three years ago) link

70 quid worth of MFM is 2 records right? They're about $35 each in shops here.

brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 12 May 2020 17:25 (three years ago) link

The Gigi Masin one, the Musica Esporadica one, the Terekke one and the Dip In The Pool single, which is £12.50 for about ten minutes of music but I've not been spending my cash on anything else so I might as well blow it all on records. And they're pretty reasonably priced in the UK for the most part. I think most of their double albums are about £20 or less with nice packaging.

paolo, Tuesday, 12 May 2020 19:02 (three years ago) link

Music From Memory - now more than ever

paolo, Tuesday, 12 May 2020 19:02 (three years ago) link

I was listening to that single today, actually.

Heavy Messages (jed_), Tuesday, 12 May 2020 19:20 (three years ago) link

one month passes...

great thread, and wish i would have read it earlier! after eventually landing on gigi masin and listening to the MfM comp and Wind pretty obsessively,
a spotify radio thing based on masin led me to the 2019 Yu Su release Roll with the Punches. it's been...36 hours? i think i have listened to it at least 10 times already. while purchasing the 12" today, i went ahead and grabbed Tower of Silence (30 seconds of "Woman of Water and Music" was more than enough to convince me) and Toshifumi Hinata's Broken Belief, based on the enthusiasm on the thread. i move like molasses but i have noted that i need to look into Stroom as well

time is running out to pitch in $5 (Karl Malone), Wednesday, 8 July 2020 02:15 (three years ago) link

Everyone needs to look into Stroom

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIRfQ92j6nw

New one forthcoming from Suso Saiz and Suzanne Kraft. It sounds very nice.

paolo, Wednesday, 8 July 2020 07:53 (three years ago) link

Those are all A+ picks ZS. It's cool that Gigi Masin is like a landing spot for a lot of people who will then venture from there on. Yu Su and Hinata's 'Broken Belief' are both excellent (the organ sound on the latter is *insert cool ascii looking thing*). I'm going to check out Tower of Silence now!

Scampidocio (Le Bateau Ivre), Wednesday, 8 July 2020 11:30 (three years ago) link

That Suso Saiz/Suzanne Kraft sounds nice, I hope Vini Reilly and Pat Metheny get their royalties!

from the same album, this one's a bit less wacky and a bit more gigi-esque:

just when i though 2020 couldn't get much weirder, one of my most listened to records at the moment is a solo album by the drummer from grizzly bear

Defund the indefensible (NickB), Thursday, 13 August 2020 14:13 (three years ago) link

definitely a good record!

Evan, Thursday, 20 August 2020 16:19 (three years ago) link

in a recent mail order i threw in Toshifumi Hinata's Broken Belief on a whim, based on a few quick listening samples.

it's a collection of his music from 1985-1987, a lot of simple piano/melody lines, warm pads, and samples.

to put it another way: it is somewhere in a space between angelo badalamenti and ryuichi sakamoto

The GOAT Harold Land (Karl Malone), Wednesday, 26 August 2020 20:31 (three years ago) link

forgot to say the most important thing: i love it! it was kind of a grower, but it has come to be daily listening while i work

The GOAT Harold Land (Karl Malone), Wednesday, 26 August 2020 20:31 (three years ago) link

Beautiful album, couldn't agree more.

Monte Scampino (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 27 August 2020 10:58 (three years ago) link

This thread has opened up a whole bunch of stuff for me in the last six months or so. I think it'll be my abiding lockdown music (from memory).

That Hinata album is lovely. My latest find has been Masahiro Sugaya's Horizon compilation from last year. It's mainly piano-based but has that lovely 'woody' thing going on. I can't get enough.

Excited for this

Music From Memory is turning 50! Beyond happy to finally announce no less than our 50th release since we kicked things off back in 2013! This time with a special one:
