The "wink wink" Thread 2010: This Time It's Personal
Scandanavian War Machine:
nothing can ever get censured because that's not how you spell censored
at least it didn't get sensored
David_Dovey:
But censured is a word too! And it's potentially relevant to the context! :psyduck:
ALoveSupreme:
except I don't think you can censure a thing, just a person, right? The artwork itself" can not be censured...
KvP:
Pt. 1
Seventhswami - Ghost
Blind Prophet-esque flourescent Beats music. Very clean production, IDM leanings. It's on the backburner at the moment because I have too much music but initial readings are strong.

Hype Williams - Han Dynasty
The only dudes making what people keep saying Drag Music is supposed to be. It's basically those early, murky Mellow Gold demos, but taken seriously as "hypnagogic" music. Fun and "important".
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Available digitally for the first time, Hype Williams' 'Han Dynasty' 7" tracks, plus a bonus cut not previously available on the vinyl. From the sound of duppied R&B in pt.1, pt.2 fragrances a more secluded post-punk space with zombied bass guitar hook and probably-drooling vocals delivered so slack-lipped and munted that drugs or strong religious invocations must have been involved. Part 3 is the most substantial, wandering along some cheap casio keyboard with a faded baroque, chamber music-like quality that sounds like Spencer Clarke starting to suffer fatigue in the 57th hour of a nonstop ritual performance. If you've not checked it before, these tracks only serve to heighten Hype WIlliams' deeply mysterious and inexplicable style. Awesome.

Anworth Kirk & Demdike Stare - Samhain Slant Azimuth
It's Nurse With Wound for the new millennium, which is to say it's more or less inexplicable. Weird stuff. Presented as one hour-plus long track.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Samhain Slant Azimuth is a 50 track sound and music collage that was performed and mixed by Pre-Cert's Anworth Kirk and Demdike Stare between 23.30 and 00.39 on 31st October 2010 (Hallowe'en). Taped at a mutual domestic residence for the entertainment of family and friends, Pre-Cert have pressed a very limited amount of physical copies available exclusively here. Adhering to their Part Art/Part Trash research model, this 69 minute session delves into the macabre, combining the label's key influences including sound research libraries / V.H.S. video culture / electronic Folkways records / Germanic Kunstmärchen / Italian Fumetti / Indian Horror Films / sound poetry / tape manipulation / outsider art and field recordings to name just a few. Boasting the signature characteristics of Demdike Stare's vinyl trilogy and the newly released Anworth Kirk LP, 'Samhain Slant Azimuth' continues to give a stylistic nod to the folkloric/industrial landscape of the anti-labels local history while providing a glimpse at their soon to be revealed archive of disparate noise.

501 - Rise & Fall / Ultraviolet
Weirdly enough I initially got 501's Short Circuit single because the blurb I had read about them said they were Subway doing dubstep-type stuff. I took this to mean they were the bass music guise of acid techno veterans Subway, but in retrospect they were probably fresher-faced DJs releasing stuff on Subway records, which has nothing to do with the acid act. This new single is fairly bruvstep-ish, which is to say it sounds a lot like Caspa.

Demdike Stare - Forest of Evil
The first Demdike Stare album from this year. The second one was a classic and the third is coming to me in the mail, but I've just dipped my toes into this one. It's dark. These guys aren't playing.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---*First in a series of three albums to be released from Demdike Stare this year - taking in broken sound experiments, unfurled dub and haunted strings...* Lancashire's sons of occult darkness push off into the night with the first in a triptych of spellbinding vinyl-only LP's. 'Forest Of Evil' is a direct elevation and expansion of the ideas expressed on the debut album, 'Symbiosis', literally breaking down multiple elements to run as two extended pices - one on each side, giving more scope to suck us into an abyssal vortex of inky blackness without interruption. The sides are themed as 'Dusk' and 'Dawn', entry and exit points for a trip where owt can happen in between. On the palindromic 'Dusk' tentative strings with one eye on Alice Coltrane imbue an astral sense of wonderment before plunging us head first into the cold water of elliptical percussion. With lungs and ears flooded we're churned in a current of Shackleton-esque percussion at the bottom of a tarn, high in the hills before returning to the coruscating strings on the surface. With 'Dawn' a battery of warlocks forge a martial tattoo, like Regis sent to the dark ages to live out his fantasies with a medieval drum circle. And then, out of nowhere, an ominous veil of layered strings emerges out of nothing to sweep us away with vintage elements and ghostly traces of sound last heard on the sublime last album from the Caretaker as quivering subbass tremors threaten to open the ground beneath the turntable. Approach this when under the influence of magic potions for maximum rewards... Very Highly recommended.

Heavy Winged - Sunspotted
Sounds sort of like... Swans playing at Birthday Party tempos, minus vox. It's heavy.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Type records break new ground with Jed Bindeman's Heavy Winged trio. Contemporary avant and heavy instrumental rock fiends will probably be familiar with the group's sprawling, cacophonous mass of CDRs, cassettes and wax for NNF, Digitalis and Aurora Borealis, but unless you're in the band yourself, you've never heard them playing quite like this before. The underground safety net of lo-fi recording techniques has been torn down in order to reveal electrifying sheets of distorted guitar noise and a heavy welt of blast drums with unsettling proximity the listener. There's still enough grit in the recording to demonstrate that we're not listening to a major studio production, but the new found clarity brings us closer to a "real" representation of the group, comparable to actually sitting in the room with them while they power through two extended tracks of transcendent, ritualistic and incredibly dark music. The intuitive balance of fidelity and dirt, harmony and discord makes this album worthy of comparisons with both Yellow Swans and early Mogwai or Sonic Youth, and if that means anything to you, then 'Sunspotted' requires your immediate attention. Highly recommended.

Jam City - Magic Drops
Possibly the last release for the year on the unstoppable Night Slugs imprint. Jam City's last was a pretty excellent set of house / ghetto house remixes, but these are all originals. Terror Danjah / Swindle-esque grime instrumentalism. It grows on you pretty quickly. "2 Hot" is going to go places.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Night Slugs introduce the debut proper from the highly touted Jam City, following his essential estival anthem 'Ecstasy'. While he's been tipped as "the most exciting prospect in House" by the likes of Fact magazine, the three tracks of 'Magic Drops' are fundamentally influenced by early Grime, specifically Wiley's lean and efficient Eski Beat. The lead cut rolls off a damn cold fusion of taut, swaggering crunk snaps and glassy bleeps with glaring robo-grime synthline and a necessary trace of heat from alien-exotic, neon-lit keys. On the flip the equally sparing 'Scene Girl' will make lesser producers blush at his virile R&G moves while the dancefloor won't be able to hold back, and then there's the more dense and menacing '2 Hot', gliding into tranced-out instrumental Grime zones with sublimely suspended halfstep syncopation. You can bet your life there's gonna be some killers from this guy in 2011, but for now this 12" makes us very happy...

That's a little bit less than half of what I've got. The rest is upcoming.
