Easy stereotypes re ECM I think, just because some fans are also audio nuts doesn't have to reflect on the quality of the music. Frisell was also a member of the wonderful Naked City, sadly he does seem to have gone the route of Americana nowadays.Though I'm not a fan of such music, his...

I think it depends where you're coming from. I've a moderate love of Jungle and can see why Khmer wouldn't work, but I love the spareness of it, the breakbeats are only one ingredient. The thing I can't stand about later NPM (and I hated the remixes) were the awful samples that his band used. I...

Snap. Yes, Re: ECM a longtime favourite. I've never wanted to hear the originals though.

Easy to sneer, but I'll bite. First off, I love the whole of that Garbarek album, particularly the cover photo, the title and the Barbara Wojirsch design (speaking of which here's my old music design website: http://www.hardformat.org/designers/barbara-wojirsch-dieter-rehm-ecm/). And here are...

Here's my list for what it's worth: Bill Laswell - Baselines Ogurusu Norihide - Modern Asa-Chang & Junray - Jun Ray Song Chang Ricardo Villalobos & Max Loderbauer - Re: ECM Lech Jankowski - Institute Benjamenta Atom Heart - Liedgut Fernando Falcão - Barracas Barrocas Silvana Deluigi - Yo! Sly...

Richard H. Kirk I think bests that (from Discogs): Agents With False Memories, Al Jabr, Anarchia, Biochemical Dread, Bit Crackle, Blacworld, Chemical Agent, Cold Warrior, Dark Magus, Destructive Impact, Digital Terrestrial, Dollars And Cents, DR Xavier, Electronic Eye, Extended Family (2)...

I've been listening to 500-Push-Up for a while now. Hated it on first listen, but have grown to really like it. Reminds me quite a bit of African Head Charge. My favourite S&R album is an odd one, it's Drum and Bass Strip to the Bone by Howie B. I also quite like their album with Nil Petter...

Just to follow up for anybody like me who was hoping that '80s Miles would get the box set treatment. I watched this: https://www.jazziz.com/miles-monday-the-legacy-of-miles-with-john-jackson, but I wouldn't recommend it (people talking about 'merch' a lot). However, the man being interviewed...

(Goes to bookshelves) It's in No Regrets, Writings on Scott Walker, Edited by Rob Young published 2012.

And also Scott Walker's 70s' country albums as argued by Ian Penman. Which I have a hard time agreeing with.

Hah, agree about the Reed reference. And sounds like we have very different views of music as I'm a big fan of much of Eno up 'til the mid '80s. I wonder about our relative ages and the fact that this music was what I heard in my late teens and there've been various reports about neurology and...

Haha, here's the shiny new recruit, sorry I'm late. I only read music feeds once a week so only just saw my name. That's right Luka, I've got a pencil and paper out and here I go. The first Miles record I heard was The Man With The Horn which in any mention I've seen just gets slagged as a bad...

I'm posting for the first time here after reading via a feed for a while. Quite intimidating, but this is a subject close to my heart. I've been listening to Hassell for over 35 years, started age 18 with Fourth World Vol.1 after exploring Eno's music and went on from there. Seen him live I...

I think Apple should warn clients that they're embedding their info in the files, anything else is at best wilful negligence. Despite being fascinated by and monitoring changes in music distribution and discovery (www.musicinterfaces.com), the only music file I've ever purchased from iTMS or any...

I can't claim much expertise, but I do know that pasting in from Word into a database can be a no-no. All sorts of formatting crap gets copied onto the clipboard that you can't see, but it can really screw things up. Going with TextEdit or similar will sort that. I'm no big fan of WordPress...
