OK, here some frantic rhythms to represent the last couple of weeks of madness. Degree show, degree show party, degree show deinstall, and then straight up to Edinburgh for another install. Now, perhaps unsurprisingly, I'm ill in bed and recuperating.
Matmos - Steam and Sequins for Larry Levan
Amazing album I hadn't listened to in a long while.Marc Moulin - Balek
A hypnotic track from Caribou's 1000 Song Mixtape. Full disclosure: all songs on this list except that one above ^ are discoveries from his excellent playlist. The meeting of those waveform synthesizers and those live brass stabs is right deadly.
Silver Apples - Seagreen Serenades
Sooo good. I don't know why I haven't properly explored Silver Apples earlier. I've just known and loved Oscillations as a groundbreaking track, but didn't even consider there was a whole album to go with it...
Thomas Mapfumo - Gwindingew Rine Shumba
Let me call your attention to the bass. It sounds... otherworldly. Quite simple in a way, but if you focus on it... it's like something piped in from deep beneath the earth, or from outer space.
Aphrodite's Child - Loud, Loud, Loud
And this is me, now. Slowly resurfacing in a post-feverish world.
