She was really great at the Union Chapel before Xmas (with Matthew Bourne). Here's a pic.

Having one of those evenings when the Craven Faults album sounds almost perfect.

Must be a sign of spring!

Ha! Maybe?
Sometimes they're my (kind of) imagined idea of perfect. The artwork etc suits but there's also something about their European-ness and (conversely?) their Northerness (in a UK understanding of that).

I just prefer to listen to electronic music (esp the Berlin-school sequencer stuff) in the warmer weather. Seems a perfect fit for the Canadian heatwaves, and less so for our oppressively deep cold winters.

I'd have thought Keeley Forsyth would be considered more "ilxor-y".

Obviously, didn't want to mention it until I'd ordered the version I wanted but:

Craven Faults, that is.

CF's Standers lp has been getting a lot of attention here lately. The last two tracks in particular are just gorgeous.

Are there any live reviews of the CF gig, really wanted to go, but it would have been a trip to get there and back and family stuff is hectic with the return to school.
although I liked there was a matinee for people that had to get home before evening kicked in.
I am imagining a wall of 5U synths, one long piece that goes on for the entire gig, the hushed silence of middle aged men and lots of blinkenlights.

Leaf put out one of the most beautiful ambient tunes of the 90s.

x-post. Lots of middle-aged men and lots of blinking lights, yes. Unassuming. No attempts to be mysterious or anonymous (aside from a request for no photographs). Intriguing venue. Enjoyed it a lot.

Have been playing Odda Delf loads.

Yeah it's a fantastic album closer. Some beautiful modular work happening there.

Loving this - https://cravenfaults.bandcamp.com/track/may-birching-3 - to the point that it weirds me out that there were only 100 physical copies.
Though it's here, too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw9-W3dYWDM

also perfect review of Craven Faults London gig last night.
sound quality might have been the best I have heard in a long time.
