I'm following a subtle shift in my musical focus, and am looking for
extremely ultra-minimal techno, very repetitive but submerged or
restrained 4x4 (boom tss boom tss boom tss boom tss) and variations
thereof. I'm referring to stuff like Plastikman's "Consumed," Gas
(Koningsforst), Stewart Walker (Stabiles, Nevermore, etc.), some of the
Basic Channel--Chain Reaction stuff. Steve Stoll (Blunted Boy Wonder
era), although certainly nice and repetitive, is probably a bit too
active and "above ground" for what I'm looking for. Any
recommendations? Also:
1) Today I picked up a few by Thomas Brinkmann: Ernst #4: Gisela/Heidi,
#7: Monika/Nicole, #8: Petra/Olga. Couldn't find the name of the label
among the scratched words on the runouts -- is Strom the name of the
label? (
http://listen.to/strom). I checked the IDM archive and Andrew
Duke's archive to no avail. Help?
2) One by Freiland (#5). Label? Is this Brinkmann as well?
3) Any recommendations on Porter Ricks? A website? Is "Biokinetics"
available on vinyl? How about the recent one from Mille Plateaux?
4) I have Sturm's "Die Glocken Von Sturm" on Mille Plateaux. Anything
else by this artist?
"Consumed" is such a deeply felt, emotional work for me, and it has
become this reoccuring motif in my life (I play it here at work on CD
and spin it on vinyl in my DJ sets). Looking back on the music I'm
drawn to, I see that most of it carries a trace of sadness, melancholia,
inwardness. A quiet reflectiveness. The flip side, I guess, of the
loud, crunchy, clicky-clacky, bleepy-bloppy, electro-y branch of IDM (a
family tree???).
Any thoughts on this?
