Greek space/shoegaze band. Quiite nice melodic psychy stuff. Recent release from Cardinal Fuzz
Happened to be the first thing I bunged on the 3 player i think . Had another couple opf choices which i think I'm looking forward to but not heard yet.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/350b6aba916a5ef3f72680a6e4ece9d0/8361070
solo set from one half of teh Left outsides. I'd been expecting it to be folky and its long atmospheric stuff which sounds more soundtracky.
Quite good though.
Another one from a set of Cardinal Fuzz sets taht finally arrived last week after apparently being stuck in postal limbo for way too long.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/d28eb45d3abaaf9ac6f8d3064cddf350/1508572
Quite good live set from the LA festival in 1973. Found this cheapish in Sister Ray last xmas.
NIce funky stuff with a few longish monologues.

Nihiloxica is sort of this years Cut Hands or Ninos du Brasil for me.

ha awesome!

Amen, and thanks for thee reminder of xpost Hapna:
t all starts with a sound. The sound of a monophonic synth. Then we have the Drums. And what binds it all together: The Bass.
In search of a departed past. Maybe a trip to Italy 1981. No, we never went to Italy... Ok.
But the colour is definitely brown.
Memories, not necessarily self-perceived, but yet...
A happy childhood. A promising future. And then there's a wizard.
Phrases, echoes. Expanding lines that evolves and re-evolves.
Escape from NY. Growing up. Possibilities and limitations.
The smell of dust and electricity. A wish to go back and forward at the same time.
It all comes down to a introspective groove. The strength of the collective process.

Long live Häpna--Tape esp were a huge revelation for me, sort of a Gastr del Sequel if I had to reduce it to a simple/silly pun

Black Flag, Live '84. Their best-sounding recording. (The cassette had better cover art than the CD reissue.)

I love the Marquee set from that year.
Seems to have an element of near Link Wray Ness I'm not really hearing elsewhere. One of several elements blended.
It was the date I saw them on.
Official Video is them at Leeds a few days after that.
Do wonder what lira basslines would sound like if she was writing her own.

Also do like the band as a 5 piece a year earlier playing the My War stuff as written with Duchowski and Cadenza still on board.

2014 vocal jazz with a minimal bent. Likened to Bond themes stripped to their bone, and that's okay.

Also a bunch of other jazz/improvisation that others on RYM labeled with one of the "minimal" tags. The trio Plaistow from Genève, Switzerland definitely were influenced by their Tonus-Music brethren in Bern. Something in the water. Anyway, Plaistow's discography sort of splits the difference between The Necks (though in more digestible chunks), Dawn of Midi, and sometimes the junglisms of GoGo Penguin.

i loooove that De Biasio album

I think I've seen the cover image before or at least where its copied from buit can't quiite place it, is it an Edith Piaf thing or a Billie Holliday or something.
