(also i know the answer to the original question. they sample the same thing on Betty's Lament...)
― koogs, Tuesday, 1 June 2010 15:33 (thirteen years ago) link
didn't think the new lp was out until 7th, but mine turned up this morning from boomkat.

It feels like it is "glow in the dark safari set" season.

Felt strangely ambivalent about new ISAN music but have been seduced by it, particularly "Risefallsleep".
― djh, Saturday, 15 October 2016 22:02 (seven years ago) link
My copy is in the post.
There's a talk through on a German website where they talk about each of the tracks. Am waiting to hear the CD first though.

Enjoying this a lot ... I was listening to it while writing Xmas cards/letters to friends earlier ... It's lovely and *sounds like ISAN* and I was pondering if I was finding some re-assurance in that.
― djh, Sunday, 18 December 2016 16:11 (seven years ago) link
Aargh. I appear to have missed a tour CD!
― djh, Thursday, 10 October 2019 19:34 (four years ago) link
like what?
new lp out next week (ish). playing union chapel (albeit covers) on the 26th.
― koogs, Thursday, 10 October 2019 19:37 (four years ago) link
oh, nine simple works? i guess that's for these current few dates (robin keeps posting pictures of railway stations on facebook - paris, dijon, limoges) but i don't think it's that extensive a tour, only 2 french dates and the daylight music thing.
― koogs, Thursday, 10 October 2019 19:57 (four years ago) link
Yeah, that.
By coincidence made a compilation that included ISAN, Plone, Komputer, early Piano Magic this week ... and I ended up at ISAN's discogs page.
― djh, Thursday, 10 October 2019 19:59 (four years ago) link
Where can I hear that comp?
― Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 10 October 2019 20:09 (four years ago) link
Message me with your address and I'll burn a CD.
It didn't end up particularly coherent. Bits of it are "Me, at 29".
― djh, Thursday, 10 October 2019 20:23 (four years ago) link
Curiously excited about the new album - they're the sort of band its easy to take for granted. Been playing old ISAN. They are gorgeous.
― djh, Tuesday, 22 October 2019 20:15 (four years ago) link
they've ditched the laptops for other hardware so it might have a different sound. the two 'singles' have sounded ok (i've only listened to snatches, don't want lp spoilers).
they've been posting little things on their youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1lM9KBBPOvSgLYP5jILENg
seems to be mostly microfreak and 0-coast based.

union chapel gig was short and not the usual fare but very good. some photos here (Daylight Music facebook photos):

(photos by mike who posts here sometimes, mostly during wimbledon 8) )
nine simple works is lovely, think i prefer it to the real lp (based on one listen of each).
― koogs, Thursday, 31 October 2019 11:41 (four years ago) link
robin using microfreak there, anthony seems to be mostly using some tablet - the gig was a game of two halves really, no time to practice together so they each did 10-15 minutes with a brief transition in the middle.
― koogs, Thursday, 31 October 2019 11:43 (four years ago) link
Wasn't the gig a concept one? Playing Susumu Yokota covers? Possible I have dreamt this idea.
Anyway, I need to find a way of getting hold of Nine Simple Works, ideally by buying a copy off the band but am open to other ideas ...
Really enjoying Lamenting Machine tonight.
― djh, Monday, 2 December 2019 19:35 (four years ago) link
Yes, it was a gig, with 3 acts, all doing yokota-inspired pieces.

never noticed the RS-09 in their earlier recordings, for some reason I thought they were mostly softsynths
their studio is really cute! also why hasn't Korg put out an MS-10 mini? they could even do a desktop version and it would sell like hotcakes
