Starting off as top on my list is that new DIN-ST,
making that slow and low booty shake IDM that you can
actually dance to music I need to inflict on the
writhing bass-heads this summer. Also Akufen-hawaiian
wodka party is exactley that, like this goofy russian
circus music with that hawaiiian slide guitar sound.
And a fuck of a lot easier to mix than most of the "My
Way" album. Kinda a wierder (less mangled bad house
samples) and more original sound. Okay I think in my
old age I'm more of a sucker for refined good dance
music like the new Arcola release, Milaneses' "Vanilla
Monkey", I mean it doesn't really get all crazy
experimental or anything, but it's got some cool
kick-drum turned into droning bass sounds that are
good, along with this wierd indicipherable sampled
voice that sounds backwards masked but isn't. And yeah
fun to dance to. I think the world needs good dance
music again, not good music to scratch your chin and
analyze. Well I guess it needs that too, i'm just not
into it right now. I like that "Secret Frequency Crew"
single, the kinda sleazy retro electro sound, can't
wait to hear the full length. The type of shit that
hits your lower belly and makes you all warm and
horny. Claro Intellecto has been rocking the speakers
lately, I've been getting into the back catalog of AI
records and Ghostly International stuff. I am a little
dissapointed in the "Raiders of the lost arp" full
length, mostley for the fact that everything else
those guys have done is stellar and this is kinda
mediocre retro stuff that doesn't have that really
interesting twist thrown in there that Jolly Music and
Mat-101 has. The 09 Church of the ghetto PC album
lives up to the hype, what I've heard of it so far,
seems like it has a lot of depth to it. Finally,
seeing Richard Devine live fucking blew me away,
towards the end it got a little noise jam but the kind
of energy and sounds that guy pulls into a live set is
unreal. When he gets into the 5.1 stuff it's all over,
I can't wait to hear that shit. Also this video piece
that was on exhibit of his was insaneley cool
psychedelic madness, an apt rendering of some of the
hyper-dimensional fractal planes I've visited. He
kinda sucks as a DJ, or isn't really all that
interesting, but then I think everyone has to suck at
something. Uh, that new Irish film "Intermission" is
fucking cool, I need to find the soundtrack to that
which isn't IDM but is really good music methinks.
=====
The apocalypse is now! Americans know this, that the only hope is the flying saucers. Do you know how I see the world? Like a person who is dying. It's a worm who is dying to make a butterfly. We must not stop the worm from dying, we must help the worm to die to help the butterfly to be born. We need to dance with death. This world is dying, but very well. We will make a big, big enormous butterfly. You and I will be the first movements in the wings of the butterfly because we are speaking like this.~~ Alejandro Jodorowsky
