was in bad mood that day upthread.

haven't heard 'sign' -- have only heard 'scope' and saw the bottom of the hill show when he was playing the 'songbook' stuff live, and it was the bad kind of repetition for me. strict cut-n-paste repetition, absolute lack of surprise, these things can be virtues but you have to be in the mood for them

it's not like I have good taste, y'know, currently listening to Mike Oldfield Incantations side 4

did you know Mike Oldfield wrote "Family Man", later covered by Hall and Oates?

it's on Five Miles Out if you're curious

things to get:

funfair - this is a lot like scope but prettier. more rhythmic and reich-y, less glitchy (though still glitchy).

child & magic - this is the godhead. toy xylophones, animal noises, baby percussion instruments doing drum and bass, crazy loops and edits, japanese toddlers talking about sleep and death, glass pipes and chimes, etc.

reflection - errornormous world - ok this isn't takemura but it came out on his lollop label. it's treated guitar and drum machine. doing jazzy, abstract, floaty things. clear ringing tones, weird spectral licks that float away, spazzy organic drum machine. maybe it sounds like what a takemura remix of the last track of VCN would sound like. that's just how i'd describe it to other people, to me, it sounds like wake and bake feels.

Can anyone list Nobukazu Takemura tracks that have things that sound like really big processed electric guitars?

Ok, having only heard Scope and the Child's View album, I had no idea this guy also did a whole album of speech-synthesizer vocal tracks ("10th") that I am really liking on first listen. Some novelty value for sure, but pretty accessible.
