LFO - "Nevertheless"




I'd long forgotten about this Warp band until watching Gaspar Noe's latest Enter the Void last night. This one's from Sheath.

Wendy Carlos - A Clockwork Orange

One of my favorite soundtracks. This music gets me pumped, but I can't listen to it while running, writing, reading, or anything else really. It's just a bit too captivating. Wendy Carlos' Moog-reinterpretations of classics. There's something still futuristic about this, even though it's already more than 40 years old.

Jun Togawa - Formless Station Ends

Here's a song from one of my favorite singers, Jun Togawa. There's certainly a broken quality to her pop ascetics, which follows through a lot of her work, but really hits the mark here. Even though the lyrics are a bit of a mystery to me, her childish vocals and the time-warped carnival atmosphere always leave me feeling a little stunned at how effectively she can express a mood that might stick with you throughout the day.

P.S. please ignore video!

Come on, dig that title. Boy moves the sun.

My Little Airport - 悲傷的採購

Don't know too much about this band except they're based out of Hong Kong and, as another blog has already laid claim, they sound a bit like early magnetic fields. Any thoughts on this, Mr. Bobby?

Digging the synth solo at 1:45, - swear I've heard this sampled somewhere before....

Michael Anthony Drunk Bass Solo

There is just too much to love about this video. Every second is priceless. Not sure if he's actually drunk here since I've heard that the Jack Daniels could have been iced tea, but who cares?

Factrix


I don't know much about this band other than the fact that they're one of the many post-punk/industrial bands out of San Francisco. I listened to quite a bit of Tuxedomoon yesterday and figured I should find something else in the same vane. Factrix taps into the uneasy curiosity of Tuxedomoon for me, and makes me bob my head and keeps me checking behind me in a constant state of paranoia.

Polmo Polpo - Like Hearts Swelling


Back when everything coming out of Montreal and on Constellation was the most interesting, epic, and listenable sound I wanted to hear... I dug this one up this morning and probably hadn't listened to it in five years. The song starts off as a massively growing rhythmic drone, and ends as a semi-dance rock song.
