The Black Dog presents Krautrock: Return To The Source

04-Krautrock-Podcast

What a combo – The Black Dog and a selection of stunning Kraut grooves. You know it’s gonns be a winner.

“It’s now so hard to imagine a time when there was no synths and a time when musicians/artists didn’t stick to the tried and tested formulas  that would become rockisms of modern music. Many of the original Krautrockers paved the way for much modern electronic music, influencing all that bands that influenced us in turn.

We’ve gone for a pretty wide mix of artists and included people like Stockhausen and Nono because they are pretty much the godfathers of everything electronic. We hope you enjoy it.” – The Black Dog

Go Away presents Stereo test record Mixed by God’s Boyfriend

GOAWAY009_cover
GOAWAY009_tracklist

STEREO TEST RECORD provides a means for the demanding listener to check audio reproduction equipment without the need for expensive and complicated instruments. The sounds on this record are the final products of years of research and development of stereophonic recording techniques by 73 artists contributing over 150 compositions.

Test your stereo band levels with John Carpenter
Check the channel orientation with Giorgio Moroder and BBC Radiophonic Workshop alumni
Perform a phasing test with Eddie Warner, Klaus Schulze and Alan Hawkshaw
Envelope yourself in the sound of Raymond Scott’s newly designed and manufactured electronic music devices and systems

    All of the tests within are inter-dependent, and it is therefore suggested that it be played through once completely before attempting to interpret the results which may be obtained from it.

    This record is sponsored by Dübreq, makers of the Stylophone, a revolution in electronic music performance, introduced here by Rolf Harris.

    These DYNAMIC DIRECTIONAL STEREO recordings are capable of bringing to you the most realistic width and depth plus the altogether thrilling addition of the actual movement of musical sounds in space – DIRECTIONAL STEREO EFFECTS.

    Bos Bos presents Ghost Bos: The Mind Bridge

    bosbos-mindbridge-frontbosbos-mindbridge-rear

    Another great set from Bos Bos (I posted awicked dubstep set by him some time ago). Here’s his tribute to the retro-futuristic Ghost Box label. I only discovered The Advisory Circle for the first time this year, and loved their stuff greatly. Trust me, this mix is a real treat.

    “Over the past half a decade or so, the Ghost Box label has quietly been carving a path into the strangest of musical territory. Reminiscent of the sounds found in hoary educational school films, or creepy eighties BBC shows like Chocky, much of the label’s output readily falls into the self-imposed genre known as ‘Hauntology’. Throw in some carefully inspired artwork by prominent graphic designer (and label founder) Julian House, and the authentic sense of nostalgia is complete. The Mind Bridge is a culmination of the twisted minds who frequent the GB roster, such as The Advisory Circle, Belbury Poly, The Focus Group and so on. Step into the other world of Ghost Box – and you may never return quite the same again.” – Bos

    Prefuse 73 – FREE TOUR C.D… I WAS GOING TO RE RELEASE -FUCK IT, TAKE IT.

    untitledimage-2-1

    Prefuse givin’ up the beats for free – Nice!

    “So I was on tour during back in the day and put together a c.d. of 31 or so songs, mostly very textural or out takes from that era. I did O.G. artwork for each one with acetate, pencil and marker. This drove my entire touring party insane because I was working on them all day in the back of the tour bus. My friends were coming up with various ways to kill me. I could only make 5 a day, as the artwork was a bitch to do but I was thinking of way to release it but it seems as if that has been taken care of that for me. Sounds like shit but it’s there. John Herndon from Tortoise made some SICK ones too that were hand stitched. We are very into arts and crafts…” – G. Scott Herren (Prefuse 73)
