Reminds me of Janka Nabay's work in that it is this crazily infectious mix of future tones and ancient rhythms. Bottom line, I fucking love it and my wife hates it, if you are at all righteous you _know_ whose side to be on.
This is what has been keeping me sane for the past hour while I've been working on rolling out a major site upgrade for the past 12 hours and haven't slept in 24. Frazzled and frayed.
"1123581321345589" is a concept album on the Fibonacci numbers. Oskar writes:
"I'm interested in numbers, and I'm interested in failuers. Fibonacci tried to make a number sequence that would show how a population of rabbits grew.
Turns out his number sequence is worhless if you try to show how a rabbit population grows - BUT he unwillingly discovered something far more interesting. Turns out that the Fibonacci numbers appear everywhere in nature, in the proportion of our bodies, in the way that sunflowers organize there seeds, in the way branches grow on a tree and the way leafs grow on the branches, in the way eagles fly towards their preys - everywhere. The Fibonacci numbers are the closest we've got to mathematicly understand the laws by wich our world is created.
It's a quite personal album. I like my music to be somewhat documentary.
Almost all songs are based on an improvisation, and then digital editing and overdubbing, arranging and more overdubbing and more editing.
Most of the snippets origin from my mp3-player, with wich I've recorded stuff that happend and places I've visit. They make a mosaique, that sums up my life during the time I made the songs.
And there is a few sampels, a little from the tv show "This is our music", one from the movie "Harrold and Maude" ,..., and of course Sture Dahlstrom, one my favorite authors (who played jazz before he started writing). He goes: "I haven't tuch my guitar for 40 years now, guess I wanna know if there's still some music in me."
I was really into Fibonaccis numbers at the time, it's a beautiful sequence. And I just liked the idea of a record with 89 tracks. And I needed something to arrange my music around. The number sequence did it."
elwoodicious - I'd like to grab that EP, but Amie has been down all day. No new releases and no ability to purchase. Hopefully I'll remember to grab it later.

Soundtrack for rainy Fridays.
Also good for rainy fridays.

Michael Nesmith-first national band
regardless of when i plug this in, it spins me in the roundhouse curve of a Saturday afternoon grin
Infusing energy into the Monday.
Heard "Skinny Love" on the way into work. Had to revisit this phenomenal record of heartbreak.
@elwood - That Shangaan Electro comp is on my immediate d/l list for whenever I restart my eMu account.
@amclark2 - Nice find! I hate it when artists show up on 2 different pages.
Highlife explodes into Psychedelia.

Spent yesterday at the pool dangling my feet in the water while getting splashed by a pack of feral toddlers. Trying to recapture that spirit.
Shades of Bebel Gilberto's Tanto Tempo and Suba's production style.
Crisp, clean, and free.
Tom Waits - Small Change
It's that kind of day.
