My main playlist lately has been:
the xx “the xx”
Rapoon “Fallen Gods”
Lady Gaga “The Fame Monster”
Coil v. Elph “Born Again Pagans”
Rhythm & Sound “w/the Artists”
and not much else. It’s been this way for a while now. I may retire my music collection with these five albums.
Takk… - Sigur Ros
If that was serious, it might actually sound… GOOD.

Drawing like a motherfucker right now. Perfect soundtrack? DSOTS and Songs of Love & Hate back-to-back.

Rhythm & Sound “w/the Artists”
That’s pure gold.
I have virtually all of those cuts on 10"…they’re my pride & joy.
The other day I picked up the new Moritz Van Oswald (aka Basic Channel/Rhythm & Sound) & Carl Craig 10" Berlin Meets New York…top notch stuff and Moritz even does a Dubbed out Rhythm & Sound stylee take on the main cut over on the flip. Awesome stuff. Check out the press on it below…
CARL CRAIG & MORITZ VAN OSWALD - Recomposed (Francois Kevorkian / Moritz Von Oswald Mixes)
DEUTSCHE GRAMMOPHON
10" // £6.99
TECHNO / HOUSE
Released: Nov 2009
Leading on from the brilliant ‘ReComposed’ album and the Ricardo Villalobos and Carl Craig remixes, master-producer Moritz von Oswald and François K give further reinterpretations of the source material with predictably luxurious results. François K is a longtime ally of the Rhythm & Sound/MvO oeuvre, previously remixing their swansong ‘See Mi Yah’ riddim and sharing a kindred passion for the twin aesthetics of dub and house music. On his ‘Berlin meets NY’ mix, Kevorkian embellishes the horn motif and martial tattoo of the original with a full bodied technohouse rhythm, the sort of driving beat you’d expect to hear in countless DJ sets at his Deep Space nights. On the B-side, Moritz von Oswald’s treatment of the material in the ‘Development MIx’ is nothing short of astounding. Accompanied by additional engineering from Teo Schulte, he sets a house or techno compatible groove, but staggers the effect with a killer bassline, sculpted from the sort of dub weighted sub frequencies that require you to inhale between the gaps if experienced on a worthy system. This all underpins a vastly spacious atmosphere, creating a kind of psycho-acoustic space that Villalobos talks about trying to achieve, where electronics blend with the organic and it sounds like you’re listening to a room full of players, an alchemical audio hallucination on the grandest scales, imagining the Berlin Philharmonic transported in front of towering stack of speakers on a cloud over Kingston. An essential record.

I actually bought The Doors self titled cd the other day - 18 years after I first said “I really need to buy that soon”.
Yep, took me 18 years but I’m finally enjoying it.
Been listening to some Velvet Underground for the past few days. Tempted to check out Lou Reed’s solo stuff. Never heard.

Yeah that’s really an amazing album. Have it on vinyl. Might go pop it on the turntable in a minute…
Switching between some kmfdm and chili peppers. By The Way at the moment. One of those albums I thought was boring and went nowhere. Put it away for ages and now it’s like I “get it”.

Let’s hope its the KMFDM disc cause rhcp has been cranking out the same crappy album over and over and over and over… again

I think rhcp are just afraid of change. Especially after One Hot Minute, which is actually my favorite. They do good music, some stinkers, but it’s good. They haven’t really done anything too “new” though. But now that Frusciante left again, maybe there’s hope. Personally, i’d just ditch Rubin. He hasn’t done much of anything good in years now. At this point you might as well self-produce.
Finally got new Lindstrom/Christabelle album. It’s awesome!
