Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room What Music Are You Listening To ?

Steve Jansen: Slope

Sublime minimalism.

"Plus from Us" - tracks by the musicians who played on Peter Gabriel's 1992 album, "Us".

I've known about this album for almost 20 years. This is the first time I've heard it.

Mommy Bush and Son: Snowflake, followed by Lake Tahoe. Peaceful late night bliss...

I'm not actually listening to this yet, but I soon will be

NEW album from Moon Wiring Club

I discovered MWC a year or two ago during Exotic Pylon's Weird Tales for Winter, and I haven't looked back since.

Mylo Xyloto is easy listening, though I grimaced a little to realise Rhianna was on one of the tracks - its quite good. Right now I'm listening to Landscape From the tea rooms of Mars to the hell holes of Uranus.

Got to agree.Too much good stuff out in the last few months.

Currently listening to the newly remastered 2 disc Jerry Goldsmith Gremlins soundtrack .

A lovely blend of classical film score mixed with synths.

Mrs Deagle a wonderful case in point .
Sounds like a big phat Moog waltzing around the room.An Arp 2600 was also used elsewhere.

Horror/Comedy never sounded better.

There is also a Peter Gabriel track one disc 2 called Out Out co-produced with Nile Rogers.I don't think this has aged well at all.

Just finished listening to Cabaret Voltaire's back catalogue from '74 to '82. It's interesting music to those interested in sounds generated from cheap synths, drum machines, tapes and tape-loops. My pop sensitivity picked the following as favourites:

CABS1CD - Nag Nag Nag/Yashar/Yashar (remix)
CABS6CD - Living Legends .

Their singles happen to be their most memorable tunes and their albums are where all their experimental stuff is kept. The period thereafter, after moving to a bigger label, saw the release of four seminal albums The Crackdown, Micro-Phonies, The Sword, the Covenant and the Arm of the Lord and Code. These are getting the reissue treatment next year and it'll be great to catch up with these.

Last few days it's been

Tenek - On The Wire
Little Boots - Hands
Xeno & Oaklander - Sentinelle

Regarding Xeno & Oaklander, I've also purchased Vigils plus Sets & Lights but they are both reserved as Christmas presents to myself so I'm going to have to show a bit of patience

It will be worth the wait.

Sets and Lights is especially good :-D

I've just listened to previews of the Xeno & Oaklander album and thought it sounded awful! Each to their own I guess
