Discoverer: Build A Base

This one came out last year, but I just grabbed it a couple weeks ago and now can't stop listening to it. It's a laid back midtempo mix of drum machines and synthesizers. For me, a bit reminiscent of Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works, although what little I've seen mentioned about this one doesn't mention that so maybe it's just me. The press clip says Thick grooves, cosmic chords. Melodies materialize. Forty minutes of future spiritual road music. Probably about as good a description as any.

This was a cassette release, but you can get a digital copy or stream it on Bandcamp. Supposed to be an LP of new material coming out sometime this year.

Holy shit, what a lineup there.

Don't hear much about Old Skull these days.

You should check out that Brute Heart, soNnNnN

Don't hear much about Old Skull these days.

The impetus for that spin came from hearing that Jamie Toulon committed suicide about five days ago. That follows J.P.'s death from a heroin overdose last year. Super sad story of a band.

Wow, I had no idea that either of them died. Both parents are dead too.

iceage - New Brigade

ps. lovin' that new BruteHeart too...a bit more 'grown up' than their previous but sounds great!

[Davey]

Just listened to that myself. Probably holds up better than the Japan stuff for me. Still contemporary. Pretty nice sounding too.

As for me, just discovered the Abecedarians a few days ago, and been listening a lot to the double 10" The Other Side of the Fence that was released in 1990, about when they called it quits. Some nice stuff on here. Click pic for more info and samples.

^yep, that David Sylvian is great and aged pretty well. 'Course he's still making music that sounds very similar. I put on his Nine Horses, Snow Borne Sorrow (2005) pretty often too. Another really gorgeous album that veers a little towards 'adult contemporary' -sounding sometimes but really rich, layered, and nicely played/recorded songs.

Emptyset: Demiurge

I'm too lazy today to write anything...here's a blurb found online:

Multiverse - the constellation of forward-thinking Bristol labels that also includes Tectonic, Kapsize and Caravan - reactivates its seminal Subtext imprint (best known for those mind-melting early Vex'd singles) for a daring new LP from Emptyset. A collaboration between Mutiverse boss James 'Ginz' Ginzburg and Paul Purgas, Demiurge is the second album by Emptyset, and finds them reducing their production process down to a singular signal chain channelled into a modulated analogue hardware line (or so we're told). The results are somewhere between drone, techno, noise, power electronics and the very outer limits of dubstep: in other words, audio porn for the more serious soundboys and girls among you. The duo's reliance on stomach-aching subs and ear-grazing blasts of static make clear their love of, and debt to, the work of Mika Vainio and Pan Sonic, and 'Void' reminds us of last year's blink-and-you-missed it Suum Cuique record: electronic music with real physical presence. 'Point' and 'Function' wrestle a kind of juddering techno groove out of jagged comper shrapnel, reminding us of the Raster-Noton bods like Byetone, Ikeda and Alva Noto at their most brutal and direct. 'Periphery' conjures the groaning, haunted interiors of Alien and Event Horizon, while the mid-paced warfunk of 'Tangent' sounds like it could raze Bristol to the ground if played out on a rig that’s up to it, and 'Monad' is an ear-walloping exercise in loop/edit delirium, coming over like Errorsmith in the depths of a black depression. The message is clear: in space, no one can hear you scream

Good **** and some serious bass if you're into that.

The Impressions: Keep on Pushing

If you don't like the Impressions, there's something wrong with you. This is one of their finest albums.
