Chasing Voices - Ex Nihilo Nihil Fit
Oh hello, darkest techno. An impulse purchase that turned out very, very well for me. Like Incunabula-era Autechre.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---**Limited Edition one-sided, black label copy housed in monotone, hand screen-printed sleeve** Cast your mind back to the beginning of this year and you might remember a jaw-dropping obscurity from New York's Chasing Voices on the Slow To Speak-affiliated Preserved Instincts label. From what we can fathom, this is a collective of producers working anonymously within the context of reactionist rhetoric, as the labels states "The affecting despondency of the anonymously disseminated Chasing Voices series confirms this project is more an act of survival than an exercise in cultural luxury"... "There is no "artist" in this equation, no ordained or predestined genius operating behind the mystified veil of divined talent". But regardless of who made it, 'Ex Nihilo Nihil Fit' is amazing. It has the same sense of dark intensity which lodged their previous 12" deep in our minds, only this time conveyed via vintage-sounding techno circa 1994 (read: classic AI era). The mood is unrepentantly dystopian, yet paradoxically infused with the positive, rebellious spirit of the anti-CJB era, and comes very close to a sound dear to the hearts of many. Highly recommended!

Andrea - Retail Juke / Write-Off
Best euro-approximation of Chicago Juke / Footwork since Ramadanman and Addison Groove first hit. Toooooo goood.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---After a bit of a pause, Andrea returns with an invigorated sense of funk and a bad case of scuffed shelltoes. A generation after Chicago House irreversibly infected the Northern club scene, Andrea soaks up and sweats out the latest footworking Chi-town developments with a distinctive melodic flourish and innate feel for the floor. 'Retail Juke' keenly latches on to that feeling of delirious suspension that marks the best productions from RP Boo, Roc, Nate or any of those agile young cats, matching their flighty rhythm programming toe-for-toe, while tweaking the vibes with a fine-cut pop sensibility. It opens up with an impatient metronome and sparkling Rhodes keys ushering in spasmodic sample edits and unregimented drums, honing that slow-fast thing that's impossible to describe and so bizarrely effective. On the flip, 'Write-Off' sounds like an Ice Cream van taking a wrong turning and ending up wheel-deep in some hyperrealist dayglo forest without SatNav or a working sense of direction to hand. It finds that filigree balance of tension between rapid-fire sample textures, twinkling melodies and dragging bass undulations, keeping an implosive, centripetal sense of funk deep in the pocket and yet still quite melancholy in its own fidgety way. Highly recommended.

Black Math - Phantom Power
#6 on my best of the year list! I said this:
--- Quote ---I only got this last week but it's making a huge, huge impression on me. Black Math are from Chicago and reside on the Permanent Records imprint, and on their latest LP they vacillate between the goth-glam disco of The Hundred in the Hands and a more pop-friendly version of Big Black. Considering I never really took to Steve Albini's lyrical provocations this is a very good thing for me. It's helped immensely by the lo-fi production (and I'm generally not enamored of lo-fi sound) and the "live" feel of the music.

Boomkat said this:
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Oozing out of the Chicago underground courtesy of Permanent Records, a mysterious darkwave transmission from Black Math. This is their much-anticipated follow-up to a highly sought-after debut (it was limited to only 100 copies), available in an edition of 500 copies. 'Phantom Power' contains nine tracks of uniquely bleak and often harsh dark-wave pop made with electric cello, drum machines, guitars and grizzled synths, pointing to the likes of Depeche Mode and Big Black as major influences on their sound. Peering through the tape hiss fug of opener and album highlight 'Reckless Thoughts' we can also discern strains of Cold Cave or The Cure executed with panache, while there's a speed-freak grunge to the likes 'This Love's Got To Change', and 'Suck City'. Early Blank Dogs immediately spring to mind listening to their cover of The Anals 'Commando Of Love' and but they're at their most effective when the driven by stentorian drum machines on tracks like 'Bottomless Sea'. Comes with code for free download redeemable from the label.

Demdike Stare - Voices of Dust
The drone / industrial act's third album this year. Spooky stuff for fans of Coil's late-period drone experiments.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---*Strictly limited copies of this third and final part in a trilogy of Demdike Stare albums for 2010. Spread over 50 minutes and featuring all new and exclusive material mastered and cut at dubplates and mastering in Berlin, featuring supremely righteous artwork by Andy Votel* "Voices of Dust" is the third and final part in Demdike Stare's trilogy of albums for 2010. The album opens with an analogue tape drone that seems to suck the light out of whatever environment you might find yourself in, powering up Demdike's machinery for the bellydance disco assault of "Hashshashin Chant" that follows. "Repository Of Light" takes another diversion, this time wading through the gaseous environs that made the MVO trio's debut album so memorable earlier this year, before "Desert Ascetic" flips things over for a dusted, relentless assault on the souk. The album ends with the decaying loops of "A Tale Of Sand", leaving you with a bittersweet aftertaste and absolutely no sense of closure whatsoever...

Bass Clef - Promises (Appleblim & Peverelist Mix)
Dubstep OG and African music aesthete Bass Clef gets a refix from the biggest names in dubstep/techno hybrid production. The remix comes out sounding a lot like UK Funky, but the original is a prime cut of classicist bass music. Bass Clef is really one of the best holdovers from the dawn of dubstep, and it shows here.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Rather crucial sounds from the Blank Tapes camp, dropping the Appleblim and Peverelist rework of Bass Clef's 'Promises'. The rampant original appears on the B-side, seething with airless, urgent, tin-tapping Afro percussion at 150bpm, all driven by lustrous bass and blown wide open with skyscraping synth pads. Flip the plate and Bristol's Appleblim & Peverelist breathe new life into the track, reducing the groove to a flickering shadow of its former self, full of echo chamber space where dynamic synth arpeggios strafe about the sound sphere with an untamed kinetic energy. This one is all about grooving in between the lines and comes well recommended to all DJ and dancer. Limited white label copies only!

Yellowbrite Smile
pwhodges:
I've caught and enjoyed a couple of gigs recently of a folk group called The Oxford Waits. The Waits were town pipers and musicians, providing noisy music for municipal processions and suchlike; they also provided a wakeup call by playing on dark winter mornings (by some accounts they played through the night to indicate that all was well, but this seems unlikely!) - the song (now known as a Christmas carol) Past Three O'Clock is a remnant of this practice.
The Oxford Waits use a lute, shawms, recorders, bagpipes, violin, and a hurdy-gurdy to perform songs and other pieces mainly from the 17th century, in period dress, interspersed with readings from contemporary diarists in their live sets. Magpie Lane was an earlier group with some members in common, named after a small street in central Oxford - the street where I lodged for my second year in university, in fact. Enjoy.
