Tom Vek – We Have Sound (2005)



The only release from this bedroom geek who wrote, played and produced the entire album. His website has said "working on new material" for over 5 years no, but not a peep. Very lazy comparison would be something like "an English version of The Rapture."

Captain Beefheart - Safe As Milk (1967)



RIP Don Van Vliet AKA Captain Beefheart, who died today at the age of 69. Hugely talented artist, fantastic record - if you've never heard any Beefheart before expect surreal blues. This is a great place to start, as it's his debut album, and my personal favourite.

Charlie and His Orchestra

In the 1930s, there was great demand in Germany for jazz music, as well as swing, which mixed elements of the big band sound. However, such African and American influences were viewed as counter to goals of German racial purity and by 1935 were outlawed. An underground jazz scene persisted in Berlin. Here, band leader Lutz Templin and drummer Fritz Brocksieper brought together key swing figures of the late 1930s, including singer Karl Schwedler ("Charlie"), clarinetist Kurt Abraham, and trombone player Willy Berking. They escaped notice by pasting pro-German lyrics over sheet music and using instruments like harpsichords for boogie rhythms.

Propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels recognized that both art and propaganda was meant to bring about a spiritual mobilization in its audience, and was well-aware of the popularity of swing and big band music in Allied countries. He gave permission to bring Berlin's best jazz musicians into the music propaganda program, and in 1940 Charlie and his Orchestra were born.

As an official Reichsministerium band, the group made over 90 recordings between March 1941 and February 1943. Arrangements were by Templin, Willy Berking, and Franz Mück, with lyrics written by the Propagandaministerium. Schwedler was allowed permission to travel to neutral and occupied countries to collect jazz and dance music, which helped the band and propaganda ministry to craft more recordings. Outside of their official duties, many members of the band supplemented their income by playing in underground venues.

By 1943, bombardment by Allied planes took a toll on German broadcast operations and the studio, employees, and musicians were moved to southern Germany to perform on station "Reichssender Stuttgart". Even when the city finally came under attack, the band played jazz hits live on international shortwave radio while German domestic stations were playing the "cuckoo" air raid warning.

After the war, the musicians reorganized under Fritz Brocksieper with the band name "Brocksieper Freddie", but were still recognized as "Goebbel's band". They played for US Armed Forces clubs in Stuttgart and Ludwigsburg. Conductor Lutz Templin became one of the founders of the ARD broadcast network. Schwedler, by various accounts, either emigrated to the US in 1960 or became a businessman who retired at Tegernsee.

Spir! Haey!


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.

**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.

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:

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:

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.

*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.

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!

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.

Ravel - Piano Concerto for the left hand

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediaf!re.com/?qhhmx3335scipws
Paul Wittgenstein (older brother of the philosopher) was a pianist.  After he lost his right arm in the First World War, he commissioned pieces for the left hand alone from a number of major composers.  Ravel's concerto has become by far the best known of these.  In general Ravel deliberately avoided writing two pieces in the same genre, but decided that this commission could be sufficiently different from his earlier Piano Concerto to justify writing it.  This concerto is much darker in mood than the other, and makes great play of different groups of instruments playing in the major and the minor simultaneously; the central section feels to me like a sort of dance macabre.  Played by my son, performing in NYC last February, with David Robertson conducting the NY Phil.

"Teenage Panzerkorps (or DER TPK) is the raw revisit to your top eight punk records mashed with eight seminal records so obscure they've yet to grace your ear, but knowing that DER TPK was inspired enough to incorporate their aesthetic into its idea of German Reggae is a comforting first step toward discovering those allusive treasures.

I love DER TPK for reasons I've yet to understand, but I feel as though I'm getting closer. German Reggae is loose, droning, visceral, mechanical, rigid, maddening and yet, it captures fits of catchy collective thought. Remove Bunker Wolf's foreign newspeak delivered from a echo-y loudspeaker and it's dudes ripping through the revolt of punk from its Stooges blues to the PiL dubs and the Mark E. Smith wired weirdness. The separation is DER TPK reduce their influences into a pummeled, droned feedback.

Bunker Wolf is the final connecting dot that took the San Fransisco kids from Detroit to London to Manchester and sequestered in Berlin. Wolf's German commands will either alarm your neighbors or earn their respect, as they draw the same connections made thus far, only to be thrown off by the public service announcements over the fantastic noise." --Impose

Astroposer - Meet my Brother

Sounds more Brainfeeder-y than Skam-y to me, but whatevs.

Superb comeback from Clone's out-of-action Dub sublabel, presenting the debut from young Dutch producer Astroposer. 'Meet My Brother' clearly recalls the advanced, bit-crushed electronic hiphop of Funckarma, EOG and Machinedrum, which is no coincidence because Astroposer was directly inspired by those records from his older brother's collection. Carefully avoiding any sentimental remakes, these six tracks are like a more 'lectronic adjunct to the Beat Dimensions series, still HipHop at heart, but very forward thinking. Hand-stamped copies, with free download code redeemable from the label. Tipped for fans of classic Skam and IDM/Hiphop!

Detroit / Juke / Funky

Fresh outta Bristol's Rooted Records hub, Headhunter lays down the latest Idle Hands 12". He appears to be on a Soca-Funky/Dubstep mission with both tracks. This works out best on the smartly poised 'Lost Prophet', syncing galloping drums with lung-collapsing subs before a majestic techno synthline comes in to remind us who we're listening to. On the flip 'Chasing Dragons' goes harder with a bulked-up drum palette compatible with more techno-inspired Funky, Juke and Dubstep tracks. Absolutely deadly twelve - there's no predicting what sounds this label will put forth...

Super slick future HipHop and Garage from the mysterious eLan and the man in NYC, Falty DL. We still haven't a clue who eLan is but if you like your beats butterd with Dilla-style beat and supremely hazy BoC synths, 'I Can't Breathe' is an absolute must have. Equally, the convulsive, scissoring hi-hats, skipping rhodes and subbass ructions of Falty DL's 'Large Flash' should be recommended to lovers of the finest fututre garage delicacies.

Fresh boogie-house heat from man-of-the-moment Krystal Klear, currently on a mission with tracks out for Hoya:Hoya, Dub Organizer, and now All City. Backed up with a Hudson Mohawke remix, 'Tried For Love' enters that dreamy late '80s zone with sparkling plastic synths and swung soul rhythms while 'Boogie Wan' slips into romantical mode with a slow jam for the lovers. 'Dekryptic' is the one you need to watch out for though, bringing it pure '86 styles with full-on soul-controlling synth licks. Out on his own tip entirely, Hudson Mohawke's remix opens into electro-acoustic boogie business before dropping into a Haç-ready piano-house bomb.

Demdike Stare - Liberation Through Hearing

Had this for a few months and somehow never posted it.

When Peter Christopherson died, I listened to this album whilst going through my grief, and it helped quite a bit. I'd always been a much bigger fan of Coil's late-period run of drone-y/folk-y mysticism than its earlier, harsher music, and Demdike Stare looks to be, at least on some level, picking up that mantle. A lot of the songs here could have fit perfectly in the Equinox/Solstice series of Coil EPs (particularly "Regolith" and "The Stars Are Moving"). Top-shelf dark ambience. They're even named after a famous witch! I haven't had a chance to catch up with their other albums released this year (Voices of Dust arrived on vinyl just yesterday) but given the quality of this album I have high hopes.

*Second of three Demdike Stare albums to be released in 2010, 45-minutes long, mastered at Berlin's Dubplates & Mastering* The second of three Demdike Stare albums for 2010 is upon us. Its title 'Liberation Through Hearing' is a direct reference to the 'Tibetan Book Of The Dead', an ancient text intended to guide the reader through the experience of the consciousness occurring during the interval between death and the next rebirth, a subject also hinted at in Western culture by the Skull Disco label and explored by psychonauts such as Timothy Leary. If 'Forest Of Evil' was the push-off, we're deep into the session now, rendering those intermediary hours of the trip when we're untethered from reality and deposited in the moment, an interzone of harrowing drones, acousmatic sampledelics and arcane intentions designed to create a state of psychedelic submission. The dark currents run deep, seeping from the billowing sub tones and heavenly choirs of 'Caged In Stammheim' , through the Köner-like spherical bell hum and grazed shellac textures of 'Eurydice' before craftily phasing your sense of spatial perception as 'Regolith' expands to the five corners of audition. Further in, 'The Stars Are Moving' flickers with electro-static pulses and petrified key changes before 'Bardo Thodol' circles the senses with hypnotic chants and percussion. Finally the pellucid meditative drift of 'Matilda's Dream' brings us closer to the light, describing harmonised ambient chords and a bleak yet centred sense of self.

Point B - Free Standing Structure EP

Few producers toe the bass / IDM line like Point B. Up there with Ital Tek in terms of prowess, if not exactly in execution.

Not heard from Point B for a while following on from his excellent twelves for Scsi and Combat a couple of years back, with this latest twelve for the Frijsfo Beats imprint displaying a more robust approach to electronic science with a sound somewhere between UK Garage, Dubstep and IDM. "Detritus" opens the set with a sped-up Garage formulation complete with dubby stabs and nicely stripped synthwork before "No Smokes" hooks up a modified square bassline for a shuffling stepper with a good dose of spannered synths thrown in for good measure. "Istocity Meter" on the flipside is the best thing here, getting hold of a demented 2-step vibe supported by a nicely freaked out vibe with elements of Bassline and IDM thrown into the pot, before Kuoyah's remix of "Someone Else's Past" closes the set with another re-built Garage template doing the trick with considerable low-end savvy. Good twelve.

Breton - Counter Balance EP

Hemlock have a habit of thrusting highly impressive new artists upon the world - think James Blake, Untold, or Fantastic Mr Fox. London's Breton are the latest in line, emerging fully formed with a sound that's equal parts post-dubstep, rakish indie bloke vocals and Big Dada-style leftfield HipHop. Their five track 'Counter Balance EP' has already won favour with er, Coldplay's Chris Martin, and is set to achieve much acclaim going into 2011. The minimal framework of African guitar, crisp halstep drums and ethereal cockney vox in 'RDI' hints at something on the edge of dubstep, while the rest of the EP is driven by moody HipHop beats, with the highlight of 'December' clearly primed for bigger things. Can you smell major labels or is it just us?

Slit Jockey Records - Choice Cuts (2010 End-of-Year Sampler)

The label co-run by Starkey offers up a small sampler of its run this year. Pretty great if you like bass music that straddles the US/UK divide without being too heavily invested in either aesthetic.

We really cant offer much better value than this... On this Slit Jockey digital sampler is 7 choice cuts to showcase some of the great music coming from the US label and all for the more than tempting price of £1. Topping the list is Philadelphia's king of bass - Starkey, as well a Rustie remix of a track from the Glaswegian / Slovenian / London female nomad - 8Bitch. Also on the sampler is Dev79, Kaiser, Numan, DZ and a brand new track from SDUK.

Conquering Animal Sound - Bear / Plinth

That's my friend Jamie!  Although I've never heard this stuff, he only gave me his Japanese War Effort tracks (which are totally good, too!  Check it out)

[KvP]

Oh cool! It's quite good.

thanks KvP whats the source of the Echo Lake 

Bought it on Boomkat... Apparently it was some sort of fuckup on their part because when I went back for the cover art it said it would be available in February. Who knows, maybe I dreamt buying it in the first place.
