Guignol - Angela, David & the Great Neopolitan Road Issue

This is one wicked album: traditional Slovanic dances played the Nurse With Wound way on distorted organ & accordeon, by members from Neutral Milk Hotel and Volcano the Bear.

Motorbass "Pansoul" (1996?) is the best French House I've heard.
If you liked "Playthroughs", then you must like drone, so you should beg, borrow, or steal something by Tony Conrad and check out the drone thread which ran recently.

here is what i iz loving as far as new stuff goes:

Black Forest/Black Sea:Forcefields and Constellations (backwoods ambient syke/folk luverlyness courtesy of all kinds of people i know nothing about. like:fursaxa and The Iditarod. and it contains a sample of "Lammikko" by Kemialliset Ystavat from Suurempi Pieni Palatsi.And i know what yer saying to yerself:"Jesus, what DOESN'T contain a sample of "Lammikko" by Kemialliset Ystavat from Suurempi Pieni Palatsi these days?" But still, it's really cool.)

Passage:The Forcefield Kids ( i'm digging this backwards and forwards. nasally rapfolkhop with great lyrics and song titles.more of that anticon shit, but whatdoiknow i've never heard any anticon shit.)

Lansing-Dreiden:The Incomplete Triangle ( if you like Golden Earring, Alphaville, Slowdive, or later-period Spacemen 3 you might like this. i love it to death. it's a beautiful record and it would make my top ten if i were voting tomorrow.great electronics, great guitars, great mood/atmosphere. top notch!)

i've mentioned these elsewhere on ilm, but i thought i'd put them in one place. oh, and the new Ghost, i love that as well.(oh, and the new black dice e.p. is cool too if you dig musique concrete clanks and drones and such.)

royal family and the poor "we love the moon"

― the surface noise (electricsound), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 00:14 (twenty-two years ago)

yah ned, the 80's passage. i saw that thread today. i barely remember those records. kind of like how i barely remember The Sound back then.and the sound were on korova, no? you'd think i would have seen more import action from them, but maybe i wasn't looking. just buying echo singles instead i guess.

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 00:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Well both the Sound and Passage stuff all got thoroughly reissued, so you can either relive your questing youth or dwell happily in the now (in my case, I never heard about any of it to begin with so yay new revelations for me!).

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 00:28 (twenty-two years ago)

dude, what did airhead sound like? i've never heard them! yeah, i bought all the sound reissues. they are great. well, not all, but the first 3 or 4.

check out this page!!! do you have it all?

Airhead are unknown to me. A GREAT MYSTERY!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 00:32 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm guessing they are the same as Jefferson Airhead. look at all those singles!!!

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 00:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Been into lately:

Les Rallizes Denudes "Mizutani" - super restrained mostly studio recordings; a nice counterpoint.

Prurient "Body Language" - brutal fast moving noise-screams, modulated tones, static and indecipherable messes.

― Ian Johnson (orion), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 00:40 (twenty-two years ago)

twelve years pass...

Wasn't sure exactly where best to ask this, but I'm finding myself increasingly wanting to listen, last thing at night, to smoky, laid back jazz - I find it utterly calming and warming. I'm thinking more Ellington's Indigos or Bill Evans' Moon Beams than Bohren and der Club of Gore, but definitely something in and around those particular poles. THANKS.

you probably need A few old chet baker records.

jeez, what the hell was i on 12 years ago? i sound like A demented speed freak.

She's not quite jazz, which gives it a wonderfully uncanny feeling– when I'm needing the laid back indigo mood, I keep putting on Emahoy Tsegue-Maryam Guebrou :

― juggulo for the complete klvtz (bendy), Monday, 11 April 2016 19:02 (nine years ago)

^^^ such an eerily pretty album. This might be a little obvious, but you'd probably like Grant Green's "Idle Moments."

― one way street, Monday, 11 April 2016 19:06 (nine years ago)

I've been listening to this very thing a LOT recently, juggulo! Perfect for the mood I was thinking of.

I don't know "Idle Moments" - will check it out, thank you.

I'm wouldn't normally go for 'cool' vocal jazz of that sort, Scott but it's been a while so I'll give it a go. Cheers for the recommendation. (Love Chet - his Live in Tokyo record was all I listened to for a while.)

― Poacher (Chinaski), Monday, 11 April 2016 19:09 (nine years ago)

The Merrill is glorious. Cheers, Scott. Her version of Lilac Wine just made me blub into my stir-fry. Middle class ague, right there.
