    - Service's return orbit finds them in an acid folk state of mind. They softly churn out cosmic tones that bore directly into the right brain, eliciting a bright reign of psychedelic sprites. Their mystical leanings steer them close to the likes of Sol Invictus, but OS zigs where neo folk zags, giving them a sonic momentum that leads to a much outer part of outer space. This beautifully crafted set smells like moist earth covered in leaves. Orbit Service's mining of ever deeper moods has yielded a subtle treasure that glows like distant sun. The album includes contributions from:
    Kim G. Hansen (Antenne)
    Anna Brønsted (Our Broken Garden / Efterklang)
    Elin Palmer (crooked fingers/munly and the lee lewis harlots)
    Edward Ka-Spel (The Legendary Pink Dots)
    Kirill Nikolai (Still Light)
    Dennis Swanson (day dissolved dream)
    Esther Hernandez (pee pee)

    produced by kim g. hansen and randall frazier on two continents via the internet. mixed by kim g. hansen. mastered by randall frazier. engineered by kim g. hansen and randall frazier. additional engineering by brian gerhart.

    orbit service was:
    Kim G. Hansen: synths, electric guitars, samples, mixing, production
    Randall Frazier: vocals, synths, samples, production
    Brian Gerhart: acoustic and electric guitars
    Dennis Swanson: electric guitars

    Toni Halliday's most recent project. Unsurprisingly, it sounds like Toni Halliday singing songs in the style of Kate Bush.

    Antenne's famous 2016 release:
    a1526682333_2.jpg
    - Available for just $1,000 USD or more, so that will be:5,431.83 DKK or more

    Antenne is Kim G. Hansen from my previous post and Marie-Louise Munck, and is known from the good old Amie Street days.
    - As opposed to the €mu description
    is a 48.3 km long river in the Charente-Maritime département, in southwestern France. Its source is in the commune of Fontaine-Chalendray.

    Greg Grease - Cornbread, Pearl & G

    Went to the record store yesterday to pick up the Purple Snow compilation I mentioned a few pages back, but they were sold out! So I grabbed this instead.

    Tiger’s Milk Records presents PERU MARAVILLOSO, the result of many years obsessively collecting Peruvian music: it’s in our blood. With a focus on ‘60s and ‘70s Latin and tropical music, this debut album features a selection of vintage cuts and unknown treasures from one of Peru’s most exciting musical eras. The vast majority of these songs were only ever pressed once on vinyl and have remained unreleased since.
    - Mambo mambo !

    Thanks, BT. I downloaded one of Cousin Silas's Dronescapes (I think No. 007) after some of your postings earlier in the year and really enjoyed it; I see there are more.

    Cousin Silas - Dronescape 011. There's something like 15 hours of these posted. Bliss.

    Krewella - Get Wet

    As a member at First Avenue I have access to a board where members discuss upcoming shows, buy and sell tickets, and generally share info. This band is coming to town and some of the young 20s members were discussing how great the show will be. I'd never heard of them, so I'm listening now on Spotify. I'm apparently too old for EDM, because this sucks.

    Much, much better. I could only make it through 5 tracks of the Krewella, and now this will nicely cleanse the palate.

    One of the guys at work was playing this, has an amazing version of Why, the old Carly Simon song, its on Bandcamp and E Music. very strange English Folk music

    It gets better. No, wait, I mean worse...

    @Craig, half a track says you speak truly.

    Going through GP's best of list. Not too easy on Spotify. Really digging the Tamikrest and will definitely download the full Den Sorte Skole when I get home.
  • Craig, thought of you reading this piece in the Guardian. It got me listening to this:

  • Ugh, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. I'll say this for them, they write great hooks and put on a hell of a performance. I actually saw them and Kendrick on the same bill, and Macklemore killed Kendrick as far as the performance went. That said, I only own music from one of them. good kid m.A.A.d city is utterly brilliant. The Heist is hip hop for tweens that has no business being mentioned in the same breath as gkmc. Which is exactly why it will win the Grammy. Tweens buy albums.

    One thing the article skips, though, is the backlash regarding Macklemore and race. His biggest hit is "Thrift Shop" that humorously looks at "poppin' tags" and many have taken as making fun of the poor, who of course are disproportionately black. Add to that the already present issue of Macklemore's whiteness (the comparison to Elvis in the article hints at this underlying issue), and you can see why there would be an undercurrent of dissatisfaction with him.

    To be clear, I love the anti-homophobia themes of M & RL in "Same Love", and if that helps one tween struggling with sexuality, they can win as many Grammys as they want and I won't hold it against them. I'd still rather listen to Kendrick's "Dying of Thirst" every day of the week and twice on Sunday, though.

    Currently listening to:

    If it's any comfort, I was, thanks to this board, aware of the Lamar album (and while it's not exactly my thing I do hear quality), but had never heard of Macklemore (probably due to my tween-deficiency).

    More waag/Cousin Silas. Pure drift.
  • @thom, some of the ones not on spotify are, I think, on bandcamp. Here's the Andere album on soundcloud.

    An experimental masterpiece, rec'd by Kargatron back in the Gimme 10 tracks - Experimental days:
    31MjHrIh7kL.jpg
    - " Winner of the « In memoriam » award of the « Académie Charles Cros » 2005, "Archives sauvées des Eaux" represents the encounter between a pioneer of concrete music, who died of late, and a live sound’s manipulator. In the last six years, Luc Ferrari worked on a series of compositions to explore, in every direction, the totality of the concepts he experimented since the beginning of his work in the middle 50’s and this CD is a great evidence of those. The idea raised as some water damaged a collection of magnetic tapes, where works from the 70’s were recorded. The author decided to compose using what has been saved and proposed to eRikm to participate to a re-building project in Milan. The guest artist, live sampling Ferrari’s material and playing his own sounds, changed the original creations giving life to a new touching opera. The album, produced by Carla Chiti and Nicola Guiducci, is the live recording of the performance without any post-production "

    Evergreen Club Contemporary Gamelan, for streaming. Beautiful music, bells and pipes and flutes and drums.

    What is Contemporary Gamelan? Wikipedia says: "A gamelan is a traditional musical ensemble from Indonesia, typically from the islands of Java and Bali, featuring a variety of instruments such as metallophones, xylophones, kendang (drums) and gongs; bamboo flutes, bowed and plucked strings. Vocalists may also be included. For most Indonesians, gamelan music is an integral part of Indonesian culture."

    After the Best Of 2013 lists I bought a couple of CDs I'd wanted but missed because they were not available at emusic - amazingly cheaper on a 2 for deal than downloading!
