It must be said that Miwon's full-length on City Centre Offices is the album of the month for January. And by extension, it is the album of the year! So far. For me. Anyway. Seriously, though. It's really good. Lots of different styles, a well rounded album. If you liked the Brother Mole EP, this is of the same quality and then some. That is all. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Ah, excellent, I bought that in Smallfish tonite, but havent made it through to that yet! I recently got a turntable sorted out, so i picked up quite a few cds, and loads on vinyl. Listening to the Markus Guentner disc two mix of The Hope Blister on 4AD, which is excellent. Really long droney electronic shoegazey blissfullness. I'll stick the Miwon on next, and then i have Pub>single, mole harness, and Chessie's new one with dntel and sutekh mixes on it. <aside> Last month i finally moved away from using pine for email and now using Thunderbird, so i have filters setup for the IDM list, and its only then i really started seeing how little the ratio of music discussion to promotion there is here. Be good to get some good recommendations from people and just general discussions about good electronic music going on. In fact, i dont care if its about electronic music, i find it quite interesting to see what everyone else listens to besides idm. </aside> thor Alan Lucas wrote:

I guess you are a bit mistaken - Deaf Center's Pale Ravine was released on Type Records (which is also brilliant). I must agree Pale Glitter is a good album but I find a bit too varying in style. B.Fleischmann's upcoming The Humbucking Coil album on Morr is also awesome - be sure to check it out.

CCO have been really strong now for a few years. Like 2001-ish, they seemed very like Morr music, who have become much less interesting to me (except for the American Analog Set and Benjamin Gibbard stuff which is all licensed), but CCO have kept going in their own direction with the Marsen Jules, Deaf Center and now this Miwon from the top of my head. That Miwon is excellent, it moves from one style to the next so effortlessly and all of its interesting, from lush ambience to nasty beats, to house to shoegazey vocals. Greg Hill wrote:

I previewed one of the tracks, "Gain" on Bleep, and was just so turned off by him singing again. Does he sing on the whole album? If so, I'll definitely steer clear, which is a shame, because I've always like his other stuff. Except for when he sings... :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Ah, my mistake, sorry. I should have checked my discs before sending. The other two CCO i bought last year were The Remote Viewer and Porn Sword Tobacco, both of which were ace. And yeah, Type is another excellent label! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

hmmm, depends on what you mean by "promotion"...ebay lists aside, i think everything here is fairly relevant. even people posting about IDM-related shows, whether they are putting them on or not, is helpful. the only thing i'd like to see is the city or state represented in the subject line for those. you know, so i don't get all excited for something that's happening in california or canada. as for listening: i just got the final coil album 'the ape of naples', which i didn't even know was out until someone passed me a dvd of downloaded stuff and that was included. there was so much great stuff unreleased from this band, it's a shame. hopefully some kind of archives series will be initiated by peter christopherson at some point. i will definitely get 'black antlers' if and when it comes out on official CD (it was a CDR-EP direct from them for awhile, with promises of a full-length, but is now only for sale as downloads from the coil site). as for the new album, it's a damn shame john balance had to die before his group could release what is possibly the quintessential coil album, containing elements of their musical styles from the most recent all the way back to just after 1986's 'horse rotorvator'. it stands with that and 'scatology' as a classic melodic/vocal album of theirs, for those who have been clamoring for years for them to do another "proper album" instead of side projects, singles, drone and noise toss-offs; it may even ultimately prove to be better than those. upon first listen it already blows away both volumes of 'musick to play in the dark', which was hailed as a return to form in the late 90s. i've also been loving plastikman's 'consumed', particularly for nighttime travel (sharing that category with monolake's 'cinemascope', deadbeat's 'primordia', theorem's 'ion', and senking's 'tap'). i'm also still on my tresor kick, the latest killer for me being 'tresor never sleeps'. also over in berlin, the latest ellen allien 'thrills' led me to pick up 'stadtkind', which is comparatively thinner-sounding but also quite good. aphex still gets a decent amout of spins, from ambient to caustic. non-idm stuff of late would be nurse with wound, the dead science, xiu xiu, and old (pre-nettwerk/vocals) delerium. some recently played that i haven't hearde in awhile have been the the's 'mind bomb' and the beatles' white album. now if you'll excuse me, i'm going to relax with a spin of 'spiral insana'. d. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
