There are several musical items currently inducing 'oohs' around this household, each inhabiting slightly different sub-generic territory:- Yasume ~ Where We're From the Birds Sing a Pretty Song (CCO) on which Xela develops his cinematic sound design + reminiscent melody + intricate beats into a more satisfying outcome than his debut on Neo Ouija (which was good but not great). Here, with collaborator Gabe someone or other (can't recall but he's aka Logreybeam), he mines some of the emotive-atmospheric landscape of Badalamenti/Lynch, combining it with sounds recognisably in a Neo Ouija/CCO/Morr vein, but avoiding the tendency to the twee of the Usual Suspects of the aforementioned rosters. Mmmm. Niiiiice. Anders Ilar ~ Everdom (Shitkatapult) wherein an unknown Scandinavian gent, after starting out with essentially an Apparat/Esem soundalike track, unleashes some of the deepest darkest (without lapsing into cartoon Lustmordian gloom and doom of Dark Ambient) droning textures on an unsuspecting IDM audience (in fact this ain't no IDM at all), leaving us perched on precipices of the abyssal, or even privy to a lost soundtrack to a subterranean shipwreck. Chthonic as buggery, mate. Komet ~ Gold (Raster-Noton) featuring Frank Bretschneider's wrong-end-of-the-telescope reduction of house and techno. It's minimal, but without the longueur. An irresistible brew of subliminal shimmies and peripheral micro-events insistently burrows its way into the part of your brain that corresponds to 'groin'/'pelvis', and you can't help smiling. Single word voicings punctuate percussively. Raster gets down and gets post-fonky with yo head. Chin-strokingly kinetic. A scaled-down electro-amphetamine cousin to the dub-valium of stablemate Senking's _Tap_. They're all good. alan ---------------------- Alan Lockett, (Language Co-ordinator, English), Language Centre, University of Bristol, 30-32 Tyndall's Park Road, Bristol BS8 1PY, UK Alan.R.Lockett@bristol.ac.uk tel: +44 117 9741311 fax: +44 117 9741377 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

I agree re the Yasume release. It's quite good. I thought it was Xela and one of the guys from Boulderdash though? Is he part of Boulderdash AND Logreybeam? how is the logreybeam stuff? i don't think i've heard any of it. "Alan R.

Yasume is excellent! Logreybeam does the beats and Xela the rest. Logreybeam is a solo project of Gabriel Morley. He is not part of Boulderdash... On the other hand - Erik Moller (1/2 of Boulderdash) is about to release a record together with Michael Zorn (Lux Nigra, CCO, K20) under the name Boy Robot... Coming soon, also on CCO. Something to look forward to!

I think you're getting your CCO artists confused. :) Yasume is Xela & Logreybeam. Boy Robot (album coming in November) is Zorn (Michael, not John!) and one of the guys from Boulderdash.

There's just too much good music coming from Berlin. Apparently, I can't keep track of it all. Thanks everyone for the clarification. Greg Clow <greg@stainedproductions.com> wrote: At 10:41 AM 03/10/03, dave jakhelln wrote:

Yes that record made by Yasume is great. I also like these: Lusine icl - Condensed (Hymen <http://www.klangstabil.com/hymen/>) Quench - Punctuated (n5MD <http://www.n5md.com/>) Secede - Bye bye gridlock traffic (Merck records <http://www.m3rck.net/>) greetings, Wim V --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Yeah, I agree, the Quench is very good too; I've had it while though, since it came out on MD, so it wasn't really on my 'recent release' agenda. L'usine's usually pretty reliable. I believe 'Condensed' would be a comp. of some of his recent EPs, yeah? Thanks for the Secede tip. alan ---------------------- Alan Lockett, (Language Co-ordinator, English), Language Centre, University of Bristol, 30-32 Tyndall's Park Road, Bristol BS8 1PY, UK Alan.R.Lockett@bristol.ac.uk tel: +44 117 9741311 fax: +44 117 9741377 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Yes, <quote hymen website>this cd includes various lusine works which were available only on vinyl or only on compilations -except for the unreleased track, 'cascade'. none of these tracks have been released before on hymen records. although 'condensed' is actually a compilation, it has the aural impression of a regular full length album. cd addicts can find the entire 'chao ep' ,released just a few months ago, on mental industries. also included from mental ind. is the track 'mojave' (which was taken from the 'bored ep' compilation 12"). 'in flight' appeared for the first time on the debut delikatessen records 10", 'sustain'. 'rushhour' and 'vacate' are 7" vinyl tracks which were published on zeal records and awkward silence. 'risa', 'shin', 'lullaby' and 'neon', are cd tracks, but from compilation only releases - originally on !k7, tigerbeat6, eatthis and u-cover. </quote hymen website> Greetings.
