Werd. I'd also love the tape. Looks pretty swish.
Seems strange, what with all the talk of futurism, to release the album on cassette, mind you. I suppose you could argue that it's an attempt to reestablish the format as part of the future. I dunno.
Thoughts?
they should have made it cloud streaming only, or developed new technology esp for this release lol
all of their mid 70s stuff is the best imo. The run of three albums from 1974-75 - Phaedra, Ricochet and Rubycon - i'd say are the best ones. They did go very noodly in late 70s and 80s though yeah, avoid that stuff. Although Edgar Froese did some pretty decent stuff around that time, solo.
I love the story of how Tangerine Dream were banned from playing in any catholic cathedrals in 1975 so the archbishop of canterbury called them and said they were welcome to play in any anglican cathedrals they liked, leading to this gig which I really need to get the DVD of:
I think there was maybe a whole tour of anglican cathedrals or something

Cassette seems like the ideal medium, the album is a perfect embodiment of nostalgia.

Apparently Jamie's not amused by the 'retro'-futurism remarks, lol.
I'm actually re-listening to the transition, from the early Jamie Vex'd material to the 1st Kuedo EP to now, and ESPECIALLY his mixes, and it's really a bumpy ride, but the synths are definitely the key. Which is funny, because Vex'd was so... riffy? It's an odd comparison, but I'd almost liken his sound to Robert Fripp going from Crimson's guitar heroics into the Fripptronics over that decade.
It's interesting though, because he went from pitch-bending and 'tricky' synths a la Joker for that Starkey Remix and the Scuba one, to sort of Trip-Hoppy Dabrye esque mood stuff, back to the 'tricky' synths, to really suped up but more straight-forward synth waves.

Your Message Here
I'll be back listening to The Orb soon
I've been listening to UFORB a LOT recently. It is great. The bit of Blue Room where it actually gets going with the Jah Wobble baseline is a great bit of spacey aqua techno.

lol Wise,
I've managed to only hear one track off this so far and I'm going to do a burial and wait till it's sitting on the platter before I listen to it. Quite liked of the fact mix though, the good bits were very good. I never heard of trap outside of here so I don't know all the influences but the mix definitely brings back the feminine pressure in a way funky has failed to imo. Ripe for a sprinkle of some of that 2step sugar.

It's basically the same style but better and 30 years older. Kuedo album seems like the whats the story morning glory of library music.

Now I know how you all felt when I briefly compared Kode9 to Squarepusher.
