Electronica - what are you listening to?

[Adrian]

Hi Dermot....

Boomkat have one for 19 quid or so............ it was expensive at about 24 euro, but considering the CD was bundled as well I thought I would give it a go. The CD is also in the shop, for around 14 euro ( I think).

The booklet inside is a big let down, you would get more artwork if they had left a 3 year old loose with some crayons, but no somebody had a brighter idea............ 8 pages of effectively bland blank minimalist pages......

The album cover itself has more "going on" than the entire booklet multiplied to the power of infinity, nuff said.

But the music.............. well that was a different story!

Following up........... on the TT............. Loscil Sketches from New Brighton. Not bad,,,, but nowhere near as good as Coast.

Thanks a million for that Adrian! It's been in Tower for ages and two copies at that :) 'Tis a pity that the booklet doesn't live up to the gorgeous sleeve :( Might just give it a Boomkat punt.....

Style of ............Indian Classical, Drone, Minimal, Experimental.





It's easy on the ears, good background music whilst you aredevoted in deep thought about the meaning of life for the next five to ten years?? etc etc..

Kompakt .............. Total 12... not bad at all... some catchy tunes



Wrapping off the evening with............

Christopher Willits.............. Tiger Flower Circule Sun



Jury is out on this one.......... will require a much closer listen, starting to improve........ but the first 7 tracks did not really impress unfortunately, fortunately another 7 tracks to go to help make my mind up....

[Adrian]

That Chris Willits CD turned out o.k. in the end............. transformed itself after track 7...........

Finishing off the evening with The Field............... From here we go sublime.............



And I am enjoying it..................

I must check them out Adrian....Wonder will the Electronic scene stagnate a bit in 2013? But then I say that every year!

Dermot.......... I have always enjoyed various albums of The Field...

I suspect the major change of 2013 is more music shops will shut their doors.................. unfortunately. Everything is going online these days...including Goverments.
