hello, hope that all is well with you.
The BiP_HOp Generation v.3 should be in your favourite record store by
now... Eventually... Hopefully.
BiP-HOp Generation v. 3 [bleep 05]
The third volume in the Bip_HOp Generation series gathers once again six
different artists from six different countries, and proves that the
series is truly a document of today's creative forms of Electronica.
Musically packed with almost 80 minutes, the composers are each given
much longer amounts of time to showcase their talent. Even those who
think there should be a moratorium on Electronica compilations, this is
worth checking out. 14 exclusive songs, 77 minutes of music in a 6 page
Digipack including a booklet w/ infos on each musician :
NEOTROPIC (UK) aka Riz Maslen records for Ninja Tune
BOVINE LIFE (UK) aka Chris Dooks is digital artist, broadcast tv
director and musician who has collaborated w/ Third Eye Foundation,
Komet, Kohn... First album upcoming on BiP_HOp.
PIMMON (Australia) aka Paul Gough who seems to be everywhere... KraaK,
Falt, Staalplaat, Meme...
ZONK'T (France) aka Laurent Perrier who used to be in Nox and used to
run Odd Size, Cape Fear and is now recording under this pseudonym.
ATAU TANAKA (Japan) who records for Caipirinha, Fals.ch and does
Sensorband.
NOVEL 23 (Russia) aka Roman Belousov who has an album on Pitchcadet.
So now it is time to wish you all a great Summer and we'll "meet" again

SPACEHADS and MAX EASTLEY : the time of the ancient astronaut [bleep 04]
Spaceheads have teamed up with Max Eastley, who wields The Arc (an
electric acoustic monochord), and done just that -- removed the motorik
syncopated driving beats and replaced them with shimmering cymbals and
small percussive gestures and squiggles, while extending the trumpet
into neverendingly evocative chilled-out washes of pure vibratoless
horn. Although I am not quite sure what the monochord looks like or how
it works, it sounds much like an early analogue moog synth, erupting in
wails at times hellish and chaotic, at times placid and harmonious. An
ambient record. Relaxing yet with an undercurrent that will unsettle you
in a good way.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
The superb Spaceheads expand to a trio with the addition of sound
sculptor and instrument inventor Max Eastley. Their recording, starts
with a distantly eerie set of music with soaring trumpet, drums in
irregular march and Eastley's 'Arc' (an electroacoustic monochord)
imitating an out-of-tune violin for the feel of a soundtrack to a
particularly grim part of a '60s Biblical epic. Though recorded as one
long piece, they've thoughtfully indexed the CD into 'songs' or sections
as the sounds change. Andy Diagram's trumpet flutters like a voice in
tremolo, other times filling the space with impossibly long notes (he
blows then expands the sound beyond the temporal range of human breath).
Richard Harrison's work is far more detailed than his usual sensitive
funk, mostly altered bowed and scraped and bent metal. Eastley dances in
slow curlicues around them both (at least I think that's him). Very,
very nice.
