I remember John Peel playing Favorite Sweater from this - a very fine song.
No doubt enhanced in his book by the fact of it's being a seven-inch.
Liquid Liquid also featured, I think.
After a proper listen I've decided that the new Biosphere album is very
good indeed. You'll be disappointed if you expect anything resembling the
upbeat numbers from the last one. In fact there are hardly any beats at
all (not a problem for me).
There's even a bit of singing/talking and some relaxed guitar strumming
(heavily chorussed, of course). Lots of environmental noise/ambience etc.
I thought the more trancey tracks of his earlier release were much less
successful on the whole so I'm pleased with this apparent new direction.
It's brooding without being as hermetic as much of what I'm forced to refer
to as dark ambient.
The new Cristian Vogel is also good but I haven't listened much yet.
Kirk Degiorgio is interviewed in this month's Wire and comes across as
still maintaining the level of arrogance evinced previously. Still like
his music though. What can he mean, kids, when he refers to Aphex and
Squarepusher as tokens of 'Perverse Modernity' similar to Damien Hirst?
Who would credit it etc. Hirst is something of a charlatan, but there's no
need to slur James and Jenkinson with that tag.
