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

…I’m well into this whole album now its good stuff.

Doing some bedtime earphone listening with –

Cylon: Resonanz (limited edition CD-R)

and Gas: Konigsforst (tracks 3 and 6)

both great for dropping off to sleep with. The Cylon album has been described as “just like floating through the clouds”, and I’d agree with that. The majority of tracks on Konigsforst have a heart-beat type pulse sound going through them that would keep you awake, but this is absent from tracks 3 and 6 which are suitably calm and meditative.

Miles Davis - 'Kind of Blue'.

Two great new albums.


The Swell Season - Strict Joy
Nosound - A Sense Of Loss


Strict Joy is a great follow up to Once.
The new Nosound album is great too but not as immediate as there previous two & needs more in depth listening.

Midge Ure - Little Orphans

This collection of demos is probably his best solo record even if it's net order only and "not that good at all" sound quality.

More Autechre than is advisable in one go; Amber, LP5, Confield, as well as trying to get to grips with The Pleasures of Electricity '09

The Pleasures Of Electricity09

followed by Triosk: The Headlight Serenade

and Boards Of Canada: Geogaddi

The Blue Nile "Hats" and "Peace At Last" - the former is absolutely brilliant, the latter is pretty hard to listen to - something's really not quite right.

Chicane "Far From the Maddening Crowds"

Low "Drums and Guns" - not recommended for headphones because of the left/right separation factor but incredible songs nonetheless.

Its Halloween again, and its a very bright much warmer day than it has been for ages, late afternoon and already the sun's going low and long shadows are stretched out across the ground.
Been playing David Sylvian: Approaching Silence album,
and as the Jazz word was mentioned recently also been playing some tracks from Miles Davis: Bitches Brew
and its all gone very well with today's weather

John Foxx - A New Kind Of Man


Superb. Would have been great to have been there.

Now we're talking
