Yikes. Been away for quite a while, but I thought I'd take just a second to
thoroughly recommend two CDs I picked up recently...
Uzect Plaush--More Beautiful Human Life!
Apparently an anagram for Paul Schutze, the man who brought you "New Maps
of Hell" which I now really really need to find (help...Drukman...?)
"Discrete Global" first caught my ear with it's simultaneously mellow, tribal,
ambient, spooky, beautiful, groovy feel. "The Falling Dream" unfolds in Eno-
esque cycles, and avoids the overly reverbed textures of so much pure ambient
stuff. The more upbeat tracks remind me of standing in the winds of Jupiter.
Truly. Excellent
Almost as good is
Tournesol/Kokutsu...suffice it so say that "Electric Church" put me into one
of the most serious trances I've ever been in. Yeek. Thjs album is a bit
heavy on the swooshy, echoey effects for my taste, but hey it sounds good.
On a totally unrelated note, I read that the Orb's label InterModo is going
to release the album by Autocreation, who you may know from their remix of
Seefeel
's "Plainsong" or the track "Dark Smile" on Excursions in Ambience II.
I've been looking forward to this...
