Good mix of Tunes of Negation material, some of it new:

thanks for the link, I like the mix vv much

Yeah, I've listened to it a few times now, it's fantastic.

I think I just recognised a Werner Herzog sample on the new one (which was briefly and presumably accidentally available to purchase v early).

Furnace of Guts was the last thing I got from him. His latest album material is a bit too coil-y for me, and I've never really been into that ancient England aesthetic. The track simply titled (turku) on Erkin Koray's elektronik Turkuler album from 73 does that mystical vibe for me much better, and rocks much harder with the zurna than any of those pagan-y artists.
The organ stuff is great though, proper rumbling psychedelia.

oh yeah, I forgot about that - thanks for the reminder

Yeah snagged that on Bandcamp, need to give an ear...
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 11 September 2021 17:31 (two years ago) link
listening to this now, is it produced with Bill laswell?!? Not so familiar with shackleton but really liked the primal drones release, this is much more global ambient than dark ambient at times
― Swanswans, Monday, 13 September 2021 16:18 (two years ago) link
Werner Herzog sample fits so neatly into the mood of the proceedings as to be redundant.
― lukas, Monday, 13 September 2021 23:02 (two years ago) link
different mood this time but still great and innovative. He's a genius, imho.

funny, the last Shackleton thing I listened too could have had polar soundscape field recordings as pads

Likewise (and I'd completely missed that it existed, so thanks for posting it).

It's amazing! Probably the best thing he's done since Three EPs. Very Skull Discoish

is it just me or is this new one ultra weird? i feel like i’ve gotten a bit too used to his tricks, but this one brings back the old “wtf is going on” sensation i’ve been missing since the fabric mix

xxpost - it didn't feel more left field or less accessible than Departing Like Rivers to me?
― StanM, Monday, 19 June 2023 08:46 (ten months ago) link
lol - it's one of his most approachable in years: https://ra.co/reviews/35435

the new one w/ heather leigh is real good, dude is on a roll
― adam, Monday, 19 June 2023 10:11 (ten months ago) link
wouldn't say it's ultra weird by his standards but am enjoying it a lot, I generally prefer it when he goes a bit more percussive like back in the skull disco days than when he goes proggy and Coil-ish
― ava (paolo), Monday, 19 June 2023 10:50 (ten months ago) link
I thought the new one was referring to "The Purge of Tomorrow". Too many new Shackletons!
I wish Flesh & The Dream was on Bandcamp
― Doctor Madame Frances Experimento, LLC", Monday, 19 June 2023 13:53 (ten months ago) link
hmm idk sounds different / weirder / more interesting to me!! maybe i have to listen to the prior albums again, but they all sounded to me more or less like a modern (not sure if “bass music”) update on fourth world music
that review is silly btw, never listen to resident advisor
― the late great, Monday, 19 June 2023 16:03 (ten months ago) link
okay! :-)

oh, the download is available as soon as you order - released already, then

oh damn - did anyone catch the live show on Sept 13th? London Jazz Cafe ( https://ra.co/events/1749385 )
― StanM, Saturday, 23 September 2023 10:34 (seven months ago) link
Sadly not - I was out of London or I would be really regretting not knowing about it!
Have only heard the album a couple of times but I really like it (perhaps not as much as their first, but that's a very high standard).
― toby, Saturday, 23 September 2023 11:37 (seven months ago) link
yeah, a lot more focus on the Indian vocals here - but I like it a lot, too
― StanM, Saturday, 23 September 2023 13:11 (seven months ago) link
Saw Shackleton a few months back doing a set around 3am at a Freerotation night at The Cause. It was a bit deep in the night so I can’t recall a huge amount of specifics excpet really enjoying it and that it was on the heavier more techno end of his sound.

New Shackleton!

it's... I don't know what I think yet. A more subtle followup to the Anika collab from 2017? (or do I only think that because there's a German singer on there?)

This is my (dis)comfort food! Three EPs chopped up maqam percussion with intermittent ghostly kleinkunkst melodies!

I'm loving this, it's like chopped & screwed Dead Can Dance (in dub)
