Now that's the first time I've seen four of us in a row playing the same music!! I actually quite enjoyed it and will download. Not my usual music, but so what? (That would make a good track title - So what?!)
It's really good, I was even thinking of Can listening to it!
Currently listening to Wolf Eyes - Lower Drolls. Free "mix" available from Fader, which is really just a new long song. The links are giving me all sorts of trouble, but if you're interested it's easy enough to find.
- Had to grab this one: Diamond Terrifier - Kill the Self That Wants to Kill Yourself -"Diamond Terrifiers debut full length Kill The Self That Wants To Kill Yourself is a towering monolith of spiritual free-RnB sax riffing, embedded in world dub fragments, and harmonizer pedals. Instrument, genre, and technology are pushed to failure. The resulting spooky action at a distance darts around in the margins of whats possible, erratic in sentiment and aesthetic. Uncreative music journalists might say, Clarence Clemons meets Mad Max, but a broken clock is right twice a day, and in this case, theyd be right!
ZS saxist Sam Hillmer connects the dots from Beefheart to Kenny-G to future African saxophones. The only saxophonist in America coming straight out of the noise scene, inventing the saxophone as though Jazz werent awesome, he opens new space for the instrument on this deeply irreverent first LP. Kill The Self That Wants To Kill Yourself. Just make sure you pick the right one!"
DIAMOND TERRIFIER is Sam Hillmer of ZS. Diamond Terrifier is Sams saxophone and electronics solo incarnation. Named after the english translation of the indo-tibetan god-name Vajrabairahva, Diamond Terrifier is concerned with the potential positive qualities of destruction as mediated by noise/drone sheets of sound music. Diamond Terrifiers debut release Himalayan Appalachia appeared this past September and is soon to be followed by the follow up tape Shrine Flu on Words+Dreams. This coming fall Diamond Terrifiers first full length effort will be inaugurated on Brooklyn avant killers Northern Spy label. KILL THE SELF THAT WANTS TO KILL YOUR SELF is due out September 2012 and will be produced by the formidable rocker Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear." http://northernspyrecords.com http://northernspyrecords.bandcamp.com/

Their work together started as an improvised concert project in Zacheta National Gallery of Art in Warsaw during WEF.LIVE.LAB in 2010.

Both artists were content with their performance results and decided to record their first full length album for Ohm Resistance.
As Far As It Seems contains a mixture of traditional Chinese instruments, guitars, DIY instruments of all kinds and field recordings taken in unusual places. These arrangements create deep organic ambient soundscapes which remain in the mind of the listener for a long time. With every song, once pulled into its atmosphere, it is truly impossible to exit."

Well, i kinda manipulated the rotation but I really wanted to hear the whole thing (even if it wasn't in the right order). Great tracks with Moon and Opal as my standouts. It then went into erikm, Makunouchi Bento, Tomomi Adachi, Randy Greif, Oval + Hana Kobayashi, Fall Of Efrafa, Leeroy Stagger & ended up here
with Audrey Chen / Wouter Jaspers(5*).

Digitising some old CDs and came across this - quite good, why haven't I played it in probably 12 years or so?
Warp 1995
Surely, a classic album...?
I thought I'd listen to see what it is - two and a half minutes in I am still listening! Thanks amc
Thought I'd learn too. How many more of us need to join in before this becomes a MOOC?
ETA, this is fun.
Why hasn't lemming become a verb?
A colleague who is a fan just loaned me this. The music is good (hey, good name for a blog...) but I am struggling to like the vocalist.
Dean Blunt - Stone Island
The Psychic Paramount - Live 2002: the Franco-Italian Tour.
Jaffa Road, Where the Light Gets In. I got this as Kickstarter, go stream it on Bandcamp.
Clearing - Glacier
Nice ambient ish thing; 1 25 min track, NYOP.

BN came across this band last year: nominally gypsy punk, the band plays an eclectic range of music styles. Excellent. Free at FMA.

Back to the beginning, can this really be that old? Had forgotten quite how good they were...
