Oh man two more GRM releases! I really liked the Schaeffer, the Reibel a little less, but I think I'll be buying all of these indiscriminately.

yeah, totally stoked.mego is reissuing let's build a pussy too, which is not the most listenable thing in the world but fully satisfying as an idea.

That's the timestretched Harry Pussy thing? I vaguely remember that.

Those in the Bexhill-on-Sea area would be well advised to make their way to the De La Warr Pavilion tomorrow for what is being touted as "the largest live assemblage of the Editions Mego aesthetic to date". Strangely though, Pita himself is not playing.

That looks like a really good day but I'm too broke to go and have other stuff that I've got to do. Excellent choice of venue, hope they get a good turnout. Are you going?
― dschinghis kraan (NickB), Friday, 10 May 2013 14:08 (eleven years ago) link
No, I don't live locally.

I might try to go, seeing if I can rally London/Brighton people...
― Neil S, Friday, 10 May 2013 14:15 (eleven years ago) link
If I can take his name in vain, Brighton ilxor Chewshabadoo was vaguely interested in going. Give him a shout on the Brighton thread maybe?
― dschinghis kraan (NickB), Friday, 10 May 2013 14:19 (eleven years ago) link
bbbut that would involve actually meeting another ILXor in person!
― Neil S, Friday, 10 May 2013 14:23 (eleven years ago) link
True, but he could actually pass for a normal person.

whereas I on the other hand...
― Neil S, Friday, 10 May 2013 14:32 (eleven years ago) link
i'm going to this. Chewshabadoo, sadly, is not. i'm sure it's going to be just the thing for the hangover that i will have tomorrow.

Rehberg was very taken with the venue when he was there for the Chris'n'Cosey event last year. Think that's what spurred him on to set this up.
― my father will guide me up the stairs to bed (anagram), Friday, 10 May 2013 15:06 (eleven years ago) link
yeah go for it Neil. i've not been to the DLWP before but i've heard it's great, i'm looking fwd to exploring the venue almost as much as the music.
― jabba hands, Friday, 10 May 2013 15:34 (eleven years ago) link
cool, will do so if I get my act together, thanks!
― Neil S, Friday, 10 May 2013 15:36 (eleven years ago) link
That's an amazing lineup.
― Badmotorfinger Debate Club (MFB), Friday, 10 May 2013 16:49 (eleven years ago) link
it was ace. not packed but a decent turnout and the venue was really nice. the only gripe was a truncated performance from fennesz but he seemed to be having some technical problems (i.e. his stack of effects units kept falling over, lol). russell haswell and kevin drumm = the realest shit ever.

The Quicksails album is good, a special space between Black Dice and Emeralds, with crazy handclaps, Gamelan-style percussion.
― MikoMcha, Wednesday, 13 November 2013 13:13 (ten years ago) link
Yeah I love that record! That, Unicorn Hard-On and Donato Dozzy Plays Bee Mask have all been great - super stuff from Spectrum Spools this year.

rip. there's an interview with him in the most recent issue of lasse marhaug's personal best zine and he seemed like a dude who'd really found his vibe. horrible news.

Awful news. Just 53.
― Duke, Friday, 23 July 2021 12:27 (two years ago) link
Just awful. Hits me almost as hard as Mika Vainio's passing, as both felt like "my" people age- and music-wise.

Whenever I saw the Mego label on an album, it immediately added cachet, maybe partly because the distribution of these albums wasn't caught up with demand in the early '00s. Terribly young. RIP.

oh no!!! was blessed to once spend a day with him. very, very sadly missed.

Pita – Get Out. The third track is one of the greatest pieces of electronic music ever made.
― joni mitchell jarre (anagram), Wednesday, 13 April 2022 05:39 (two years ago) link
Agreed about Get Out, that's the place to start. His first CD ("Seven Tons For Free") is also great. And it's not a Mego record but Rehberg/Bauer is top notch laptop noise, particularly Passt.
Apart from those two Pita records, to me the essential Mego is (1) the first two Hecker CDs, (2). General Magic "Fridge Trax", (3) Kevin Drumm "Sheer Hellish Miasma", and (4) Russell Haswell "Live Salvage". That's more the noiser end of the Mego spectrum but there is also good melodic stuff like Tujiko Noriko.
― nphominoid, Wednesday, 13 April 2022 11:46 (two years ago) link
Anthony Child's Electronic Recordings from Maui Jungle Vol. 1 is an absolute essential.
― droid, Wednesday, 13 April 2022 14:48 (two years ago) link
all great recs
my personal fave o'rourke releases are on mego too -- those two fenn o'berg dics and the solo I'm happy, And I'm singing... one
― (⊙_⊙?) (original bgm), Wednesday, 13 April 2022 17:13 (two years ago) link
agree with nphominoid, and would add the two Farmersmanual albums, the Ilsa Gold retrospective and the Mori/Parkins duet
