that Yu Su album is almost great, I wish it just had a little less going on.

haha I feel that way about a lot of albums these days!

I've only heard "Xiu," which I think is fantastic, and if I could find a way to get this shipped to the US for under $40 I'd have already bought it on the basis of this track alone. Instead, I'll check out the rest to make sure I really need it.

Yeah, take the time first! I like it, but stylistic it’s so varied that it makes it tough to recommend Roll With the Punches was very consistent

This is exceptional, can't find a scrap of info on the artist anywhere tho, sadly.

On Daisyworld, no less, everything loops back to Hosono in the end :)

I'm loving this new comp of 80s Spanish ambient on the Swiss label Bongo Joe. Exactly the kind of thing I expect from MfM.

I wasn't really sure where to put this but it has that 80s 'woody' sound and this seems a good a place as any: jazz album from 1983, with synthesizers and vibes, much of which wouldn't sound out of place on a Gigi record/DJ set.

Western is particularly lovely: https://larrychernicoff.bandcamp.com/track/western

Thanks for the heads-up! Sort of sounds somewhere btw Penguin Cafe Orchestra and Mother Mallard/David Borden (looks like I already had this Chernicoff album wantlisted on Discogs though, yet another sign of listening to too much music)
Alongside his trio collab with the younger Dutch residents as Gaussian Curve, am still holding out for a synth duo album on, say, Sacred Bones (or MFM, ha) btw Masin and A. Howarth, if only so that they could be billed as Gigi/Alan

Yes, good shout on the PCO! I don't know Mother Mallard/Borden - will have a listen.

Gigi/Alan
well played

That La Ola Interior compilation is excellent.

So shocked by this. Huge influence musically on me for the last however many years and I'm sure there's a lot of people out there who feel the same. And MfM has changed the lives of some of the artists they've put out, they really were doing god's work. His DJ sets were wonderful too. Terrible loss

This was a fun set of somewhat wonky dance stuff from a few years back with his mfm partner tako:

Very sad news. the genuine excitement of finding MfM in 2014 was a revelation, the sounds, the curation, the packaging.. it changed a lot for me.

Agreed, deeply appreciative for Jamie's positive contributions to my life. Gone far far too soon, RIP.
