Before the whole robert jones thing started to go off ( wow, I thought I
was in some tourette's syndrome nightmare! ),
I saw the post requesting ops on NWW releases. Most of the responses cited
the releases other than: >>>
The Sadness of Things: on United Dairies, a Stapleton release but *not* a
NWW release.
A great find and I would believe at this point rare, OP? I've traveled to
stores around the US and find it very rarely.
A slow and ( hence the title ) sad recording. Peaceful, dark, beautiful
and brilliantly unpretentious.
Its hard to find melancholy music that isn't pretentious and/or contrived.
Stapleton has suceeded with this release.
While certainly not IDM, it's great that posts like this come up as it
shows us sides of musical taste that go beyond ( or at least
*around* IDM ). Not that the MAS, SKAM, BOC, VVM threads are'nt exciting
lately.
Anyone else out there think that the VVM Christmas 7" still sounds good
after Christmas? That one's a year round player fer me.
np: Solar X , Kalashnikov Bullet Bath EP ( Russian techno? ) diggin' it...
