one of reynold's memorable lines is that in white music weird noises = avant and in black music weird noises = sex

you say that but sun ra would have stoned @Corpsey to death for not being straight edge and avoiding masturbation during the arkestra's living quarters. So I think Si's stretching it a bit here.
 

woops

is not like other people

yes you're right which is why i made sure to say most memorable instead of most insightful. i don't think bliss meant all white musicians are nerds and all black musicians are nymphomaniac

Always loved the sound of this one. That chunky bass (?) at 1:22. It's got the same quality for me as that hollow bass/drain pipe sound that's a staple of the donk and hardbass stuff.

RB: "It took a while to make that track, 'cause it was made up of disparate elements. It was less of the machine-building and a lot of found sounds, a lot of field recordings going into it – rain, Gary Indiana, bits of city life, bits of weather, direct recordings of rain on certain objects mic'd-up - things like that.

Andrew McKenzie keeps popping up atm.
there is nothing in the idea of a 'product' that tells us half as much as when there is mis-direction, and as all great magicians profess and exemplify, we are not to be told. preferably ever. why? because it is actually the least important part of the entire ritual. the immediate demand to know after a trick *appears* to have concluded shows us (mostly about ourselves - although we might insist that it concerns others) that we will not allow awe and suspension of disbelief to rest without disturbance, and the evidence of our senses is not that which we are prepared to trust - always preferring external verification before we can file away the experience. to be able to hold contradictions without resolution is the mark of a certain development, and aids for this practice are few and far between. and here we have one. a world-view presented by the act of setting forth acts of creation into the public arena means a possibility of entering this, and the terms are dictated precisely; because to truly experience the local conditions, a certain amount of letting go of touristic assumptions must take place. any resistance felt is a symptom that indicates where effort must be extended. "SIGN" does not allow ease except on a superficial level, and what seem to be familiar indications of direction and location are at worst obscurations and at best mirages... as well as there being the possibility that they are, in fact, sleight-of-hand carried out right in front of us. not being the place, the labels are disintegrated in a seemingly impossible fashion, and carpets and tablecloths are whipped out from underneath a large collection of objects (again, including ourselves), and disbelief should be the least of our worries. please note that magicians call what they do "effects" and not "tricks," and I have no doubt (even if I should) that this is the case with "SIGN." my favorite magical acts are those a) where the effect happens inside the audience and not outside, and b) when an explanation is given, but it is in fact, yet another part of the effect. but best of all, is when there is no trick but appears to be: after all, the saying goes, that "magicians guard an empty safe." the emptiness in that safe is what we can be granted access to if we meet the designer of the safe on their own terms, and then we may come to realise how valuable that space truly is.

The new one's good too. Only listened a few times, but I'm into it. The two complement each other nicely. SIGN's all synths and buried details, PLUS is much more percussive and fiddly. I can see why they released them as a staggered pair and sticking SIGN out first definitely seems like the right move. I think if they'd gone with PLUS first or stuck them out simultaneously then it wouldn't have had quite the same impact. The one-two makes PLUS really refreshing too.
