wow fridge trax is so sick, way more intersting than you'd expect a record made from samples of fridge noises to be

Kevin Drumm, Sheer Hellish Miasma (Mego, 053) CD
Oooh boy I just picked this one up yesterday and it's bowling me over with delightful tunes. What other stuff is similar, and also this good, either in Drumm's catalog, the Mego archives, or just other noize stuff?

Sheer Hellish Miasma is arguably the strong Kevin Drumm release IMHO, though far from typical of his output.
Also -- can someone please explain this?

hotel paral.el is one of the best glitch albums ever made, so that
oneohtrix point never new album arrival coming out on editions mego in june

^first thing I've heard by this guy but I'm pretty into it - starts off really gnarly and then settles down into dubby fuckedupness

the fennoberg album is very good but i rly love the previous one and may well come to think similarly
re kevin drumm his album w/ daniel menche (mego 88) has been my soundtrack to the uk election aftermath
any thoughts on russell haswell's recent stuff?
― nakhchivan, Tuesday, 11 May 2010 23:02 (fourteen years ago) link
as for 'typical', k drumm has also done some more ambient stuff like 'imperial horizon'

is the oneohtrix album anything like "rifts"? the description makes it sound pretty different.

but this album is srsly lol

sheer hellish miasma just got released on vinyl for the first time! landmark album for me. really excited for this.
― original bgm, Tuesday, 7 December 2010 21:08 (thirteen years ago) link
and I gotta disagree with the notion that the typical idiom drumm works in is ambient music. dude has serious range and I would say, if anything, his ambient stuff is atypical.
― original bgm, Tuesday, 7 December 2010 21:12 (thirteen years ago) link
have to admit to not being quite sold on Edtions Mego recent "chillwave" direction, but the Cindytalk vinyl reissue has totally regained my confidence. beautiful, chilling stuff

I hope Fennesz' Instrument Ep gets a repress, shit is expensive! would be cool to have Hotel Paral.lel on vinyl as well
speaking of Fennesz, did anyone check out those Fenno'berg Live in japan vinyls?
― missingNO, Wednesday, 8 December 2010 04:43 (thirteen years ago) link
second fennoberg album is all time
― nakhtar donetsk (nakhchivan), Wednesday, 8 December 2010 04:45 (thirteen years ago) link
seriously, those two Cindytalk albums are some of the best music on Mego. hypnotic, emotional noise. the recent split w/ Robert Hampson is pretty smart as well, all wind-clattered sheet metal and organic drones
― missingNO, Wednesday, 8 December 2010 08:07 (thirteen years ago) link
seriously im sure ive posted itt about it but this is one of the best releases they ever did
slightly disappointed in the bj nilsen release (esp considering the tape he released on ash int'l is astoundingly good) but im still really interested in the thymolphthalein release next week. has anyone heard this yet?

not mego but menche has a tape out on tapeworm called 'raw fall' that i think youd really vibe - mostly unprocessed field recordings of waterfalls & its powerful and mesmerizing. he also has a related lp out called 'kataract' thats on editions mego thats more processed and 'constructed' but i think 'raw fall' is superior

That track "Viennese Tragedy" is so-called because it was recorded live at this swanky jazz club in Vienna where Fenn O'Berg were booked for some reason. About 10 people showed up.
― ban this sick stunt (anagram), Friday, 10 December 2010 09:53 (thirteen years ago) link
ha I just bumped that Tapeworm thread before reading this one. yeah that menche tape is deep. never heard the second Fenno'berg but I like the first one a lot -- it's next on my list
― missingNO, Friday, 10 December 2010 10:01 (thirteen years ago) link
so nobody else feeling the Cindytalk record? Up Here In The Clouds is probably my fav album this year
― missingNO, Monday, 20 December 2010 08:35 (thirteen years ago) link
another great Mego thing this year is the Hecker 12" he did for a Comme des Garcon show. really sick rhythmic noise loops, kinda a cross between early Boyd Rice and Profan Records, w/ a spacious digital static piece on the flip

fuck reissues with extra tracks LAZY LAZY attempt to make money and thoughtless tactless dozy fuckwit way to piss off those of us who already have the originals. no way to run a label. spesh if yr own releases consist of notable "ennio sample through a filter" and several hours of uninspired filler.

love a lot of the editions mego stuff i've heard over the last few years. would love to have a copy of the new dome box set.

but if i read the euro conversion properly the dome box would cost a yank $166 + shipping? not gonna happen.

listening to the new mark mcguire record ('get lost') on editions mego. it's a little too mellow and new-agey for me to be honest. it might make good yoga music, though.

well, i'll rep for some o those "rehberg & bauer"s, which still hold up - i actually LIKE them, but everything in his own name seems to me devoid of ingenuity & sub-bruce gilbert "my first zoom sampletrack" exercises (although i might hazard a guess they're max/msp supercollider or what have you) obvious systems & methods, & not at all transportative, revelatory or moving (even in a cold, paranoid machine type of way). it's only my take. don't matter any.
― iglu ferrignu, Friday, 14 October 2011 18:30 (twelve years ago) link
Already mentioned this on some noise thread but the new Peterlicker album is excellent. This was Rehberg's first group after he moved to Vienna (he was 21) and they have now reformed

In addition to being handsome and French, Schaeffer (as I understand it) helped pioneer the highly exact science of making bumping, clubby jams out of steam engine samples. In other words, the Oneohtrix Point Never dude probably likes him a lot, so you’re fucking nobody if you don’t too. The second record Recollection GRM has announced so far is by Guy Reibel, who, for all intents and purposes is the same guy as Pierre Schaeffer, except with a much much shorter Wikipedia page.
