    Denver Westword David Torn on How the Sun of Goldfinger Created Its Own Sound
  • edited June 2020
    Release date 17th July 2020
    Scanner (British musician Robin Rimbaud) has been inventively active in Electronic Music since 1991 and been involved in a bewildering range of musical activities covering sonic art, concerts, installations, recordings and dance scores. His impeccable sonic credentials have seen him work with such luminaries as Bryan Ferry, Michael Nyman & Laurie Anderson.
    His debut DiN solo album comes at a rather strange time for many people. The onset of a global virus has shut down much of the world around us and for many creatives, such as Rimbaud, the immediate cancellation of all live performances. Rather than sit back and worry he felt it was important to immediately embrace the tools at hand, and use the power of technology to respond positively. Thus followed a very successful live show broadcast on YouTube which garnered an audience from across the globe with Rimbaud playing an improvised live modular synth set which can still be enjoyed here:
    Watching & listening was DiN label boss Ian Boddy who immediately contacted Rimbaud to invite him to produce an album for the highly respected DiN label. Rimbaud thus spent the next few days recording 90 minutes of new music using the very same set up he had used for this YouTube concert. Boddy & Rimbaud then curated these recordings to form this solo DiN debut Scanner album “An Ascent” (DiN63).
    The nine tracks form a musical journey ranging from gentle ambient interludes through to pulsing machine like rhythms. There’s always a sense of detail in the sonic backdrop which is just out of reach. A sense of yearning that opens the album with the track “The Ascent” and flows through to the beautiful calm ending of the final track “Counterpointe”.
    This is an inspiring album from this totally unique British artist and one that may have never come in to existence if it wasn’t for the strange times we live in.

    Who Do You Love (B​-​Sides & Rarities)
    Secret Records, November 13, 2020
    While Cherry Red was digging through the archive tapes from The Cryptic Corporation they found 4 completely unknown Snakefinger recordings! These demos are estimated to be from 78-82 when The Residents were performing and producing his studio work. Instead of just releasing them as a 7" we decided to pair them with other essential Snakefinger tunes that never appeared on one of his LPs. One side collects the newly discovered demos along with a couple live tracks that were planned to be recorded for a new album before Snakefinger passed away. The other side collects all the B-sides / non album studio recordings from Ralph Records. Original art work by Stephen Somers who did our Residents T-shirt a while back and spends most of his time working on video games and creating monsters for the gaming world.

    Pascal Comelade and Richard Pinhas met in Paris in 1974, when Pinhas was beginning to go on stage with his group Heldon. With Heldon and, afterwards, solo, Pinhas became the pioneer and accelerator of electronic music in France, and a fundamental reference throughout the world. Comelade’s electronic period was much shorter, from 1974 to 1981. From 1983 on, he developed his policy of instrumental, strictly acoustic music.
    Comelade and Pinhas met again in 2020 for this LP album, "Le plan de Paris". It contains six titles that were either previously unreleased or completely revisited, developed, remixed.
    - Can't wait !
  • I see that some ACT albums are starting to show up at Bandcamp, but only as downloads - none of the ones I looked at had cd or vinyl options. Some prices are high. Michael Wollny's new Mondenkind, for example, is 15 euros (= 23.25 CDN) for the download while Presto has the cd at $20 CDN + shipping. Some older releases are at 13 and some at 9 euros.
  • LP available Nov. 3, 2020
    Ned Lagin's Seastones is a pioneering electronic composition interweaving metaphors from nature, science, art and music and the origins of music. Reflecting the technology, science, modern art, new ecological awareness and optimism of the times and culture, Seastones embodies the history of electronic music by taking full advantage of tape music, analog synthesizers and computer technology to create pieces that are dynamic, rich and deep.

    Originally released by the Grateful Dead's Round Records in 1975, Seastones' reputation as a gem of electronic music was further enhanced by the celebrity of the musicians who contributed to the source material. Seastones musicians include Ned Lagin (processed piano, clavichord, organ, prepared piano, electric piano, synthesizers), Jerry Garcia (processed electric guitar, pedal steel guitar, voice), Phil Lesh (processed electric bass), David Crosby processed electric guitar and vocals), Grace Slick and David Freiberg (processed vocals), and Mickey Hart and Spencer Dryden (percussion).

    This new LP presents two crafted Seastones sets (Sets 4 and 5, 18 tracks) drawn from the entire Seastones composition and contains gorgeous extended processed vocals by Garcia, Crosby, Slick and Freiberg, and beautiful abstract instrumental passages by Lagin and all.


  • ^^ I see Important Records has a couple of 2020 releases at Emusic so maybe I'll get lucky before the Ns come around again.
