The latest is a collaboration between the angelic Julianna Barwick and future-sound pioneer Ikue Mori. The packaging for this edition sounds fully-formed, with a Limited Edition of the release "packaged in thick black jackets with a two-color adhesive wrap. 50 subscriber copies come in leatherette jackets. All LPs come with a 24-page black & white zine; the book features creative direction by Will Work For Good and photographs from the two events by Aubrey Mayer and Jody Rogac." Mind blowing to see this series continue.

The 6-track <span style="font-style: italic;">Fjree Feathers</span> EP on white vinyl is exclusively available through Rough Trade Shops, however, a digital version is available <a href="http://www.forestswords.co.uk/">here.</a> (You may remember No Pain in Pop released this as a CD-R a while back.) Remastered exclusively for this project, "Riverbed," a tune centered around floor tom and hand drum riddims and a loop that recalls some of the darker moments in Kurosawa's <i>Dreams</i>, sounds massive, like it was recorded in the basement of Royal Albert Hall, or some other very big, and equally as notable, building.

The whole "It came from..." element may feel reminiscent of B-movie trailers and posters from VHS rental spots, and that wouldn't be far off from the reality, except grounding the music of Troller & SURVIVE in nostalgia would be dually wrong and negligent of the primitive futurism beholden in the tunes. Melancholic darkness rides high, as does a preternatural sense of melody, often degraded into the mix, yet fully aware in headspace. I once played my Mom some SURVIVE in the car over holiday and she thought it was scary, but also liked the synth movements, which is weird, as I just expected the music to fly high over her head without any thought as to what she was actually hearing. But that wasn't the case, as the depth of the tunes is so apparent, it's hard to ignore. Such is the wonder in these two live sets recently posted to <a href="http://soundcloud.com/swamp-donkey">Swamp Donkey's SoundCloud</a>. Massively cloudy, wholly erotic, and Mariana's deep. Also, stay tuned for a Thousand Foot Whale Claw tape on TCC very, very soon.<br /><br /><object height="81" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F15283565"> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"> <embed allowscriptaccess="always" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F15283565" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="81" width="100%"></embed> </object> <span><a href="http://soundcloud.com/swamp-donkey/troller">Troller</a> by <a href="http://soundcloud.com/swamp-donkey">swamp donkey</a></span><br /><object height="81" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F15283511"> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"> <embed allowscriptaccess="always" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F15283511" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="81" width="100%"></embed> </object> <span><a href="http://soundcloud.com/swamp-donkey/survive">SURVIVE</a> by <a href="http://soundcloud.com/swamp-donkey">swamp donkey</a></span>McGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08187798938516593864noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785916982898501063.post-31558259523708054222011-05-10T12:15:00.003-05:002011-05-10T12:37:52.276-05:00new: FormaSpools<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://idisk.mac.com/mcgregor//Public//derenatland.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 357px;" src="http://idisk.mac.com/mcgregor//Public//derenatland.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://twitter.com/#%21/formasounds">@FormaSounds</a> is an appropriate Twitter name for the synth-obsessed Brooklyn trio. While their sound is reminiscent of grüvier side of Kosmiche, their contemporary styling isn't as much a nod, as it is a reinterpretation of the effervescent modular sounds produced in Deutschland in the 70s. I recently had the pleasure of seeing Forma score a few experimental films at PS1, and one score in particular, their audio contribution to a Maya Deren's film <span style="font-style: italic;">At Land</span>, left me in mental shambles. The film found Deren meandering on a vacant beach, waves rolling in reverse. Forma played from behind the audience but sounded like they were rising from an oceanic abyss. Their textures were so organic it was hard to think of them as modular creations, as they sounded so much like field recordings. Anyway, I just jammed their debut on Spectrum Spools and it is a subterranean portal into a lost future. Take the pill. Jump down the wormhole. Go in below.

Acts include Mr. Grosskopf, who will be playing solo tonight (except electro-percussive righteousness), along with Emeralds John Elliott breaking out his Outer Space unit for the evening, and Steve Hauschildt playing solo, alongside Driphouse. In between, and presumably after, DJs Mark McGuire, Jeremy Campbell, Jan Woo & Etienne. Analog synths abound.

It was released on the legendary Sky Record label, purveyor of the finest in experimental, ambient and electronic music. But that was a long time ago.<br /><br />Decades removed and the works of the hypnotic Grosskopf have seeped up from below, influencing countless sound chemists, mixologists and knob-tweakers, and in turn, helping usher in a new wave of post-Internet kosmiche, one as unwaveringly hallucinogenic as the first. In light of this bubbling, <a href="http://igetrvng.com/discography/80/">RVNG INTL</a> re-issued <span style="font-style: italic;">Synthesist</span>, alongside a collection of remixes and covers by Grosskopf's 21st century offspring. (The appropriately titled <a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://igetrvng.com/discography/80/">Re-Synthesist</a> features the likes of OPN, James Ferraro, Stellar Om Source and many, many more.) This Friday Grosskopf will make a very rare appearance in NYC, where he will be performing the monumental Synthesist with help from a bevy of now-age cohorts, including Blondes, Laurel Halo, Julianna Barwick, ARP and Pink Skull.<br /><br />This in-and-of itself makes this show mandatory, so the fact that Emeralds are also on the bill, playing both a solo set, AND a set with the legendary Alan Howarth makes it a pre-req for anyone who considers themselves into "experimental music." Consider this a graduate level course in arpeggiated bliss. <a href="http://lepoissonrouge.com/events/view/2038">Grip your tickets here</a>, while you still can.

The new six song comp features masterful reworkings, covers, reduxes from the likes of <a href="http://www.autreneveut.com/">Autre Ne Veut</a>, <a href="http://alicecohen.com/">Alice Cohen</a>, Pretty Lightning, Sleep Creep, Hurricane Ike and Green Gerry. The deliverable is a slice of post-modern classicism, with each artist focusing a morsel of a Stapp's catalog, breaking it down into pieces, and re-assessing it as fresh material in their own vein. Take Alice Cohen's cover of "Higher." I'm pretty sure Alice is not a Creed fan, but she breaks down the #1 Mod-Rock Worship track into an unsettling tweaker ballad– hairspray huffing vox and all. (At first I thought Jimmy Ferraro was spitting pitch vox, but I stand corrected.)<br /><br />ANV does his thing all over "What's this Life For?"– squealing and shifting directions like vocal shuttle runs over blown out bass-snare hits and distorto guitar-synths(?) akin to his wavering vox. All sorts of alter boy sins cumming to in the confession room on this one. Meantime, Green Gerry turns "With Arms Wide Open" into a cathedral reverb, neck clapper. A fresh new beginning for OESB, who reportedly maybe turning this into an infinite mixtape.<br /> <br />Download <a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?8ov2h2h2a84o7h5">Should Have Been Dead On A Sunday Morning (an OESB Tribute to Creed) </a><br /> <br /><object height="200" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fplaylists%2F684042%3Fsecret_token%3Ds-ZDO46&show_comments=false&auto_play=false&show_playcount=false&show_artwork=true&color=008dff"> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"> <param name="wmode" value="window"><embed wmode="window" allowscriptaccess="always" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fplaylists%2F684042%3Fsecret_token%3Ds-ZDO46&show_comments=false&auto_play=false&show_playcount=false&show_artwork=true&color=008dff" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="200" width="100%"></embed> </object>McGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08187798938516593864noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785916982898501063.post-76873167947005959662011-03-31T10:39:00.003-05:002011-03-31T10:52:51.333-05:00new: Sun Ark Cassette EditionsFuzz<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://idisk.mac.com/mcgregor//Public//SAFEBREEZESweb.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 479px; height: 764px;" src="http://idisk.mac.com/mcgregor//Public//SAFEBREEZESweb.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />News from the <a href="http://www.sunaraw.com/sunarkshopzone.html">Sun Ark</a> is always good news, and this time it comes in a bundle of goodies.

What's even more fun?! When friends put out other friends tunes.

Olympia, Washington's <a href="http://www.wakrecs.com/">Dana Jewel</a> is no stranger to Underwater Peoples. The head of <a href="http://www.wakrecs.com/">Wild Animal Kingdom Records</a> used to play in the live version of surf/jungle band Pill Wonder, and has also been featured on the always enjoyable UP seasonal comps...Hey guys, no pressure, but it's been a few too many seasons without a new one…Just sayin' :)(<br /><br />Now comes <span style="font-style: italic;">Wants</span>, a collection of heart-felt tunes from a man who might as well be considered the product of a one night stand Jonathan Richman had in the PacNW some twenty years ago. (Imagine if Richman sang about Seattle like he did New England….Oh, New England.) "Wants" the song is the perfect duality of yearning for love, and the subsequent rejection of it. Pain is pleasure, and vice versa? If that fits your fancy, be sure to grip <span style="font-style: italic;">Wants</span> over at the <a href="http://underwaterpeoples.com/">UP web zone</a>.<br /><br /><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/17840401" frameborder="0" height="281" width="500"></iframe><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/17840401"><br /></a></p>McGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08187798938516593864noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785916982898501063.post-44101044517056087452011-03-25T09:40:00.001-05:002011-03-24T22:28:23.449-05:00show: MIST, Driphouse, Forma + moreTwin Lanes<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://idisk.mac.com/mcgregor//Public//mist.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 386px;" src="http://idisk.mac.com/mcgregor//Public//mist.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Just came across this, but it's hard to resist.

If you recall, the Kiwi City was devastated by a recent earthquake, which rattled the city's bones and left it a fragment of its former self. The Rose Quartz team reached out to some of their favorite artists (Thurston Moore, Sun Araw, Grouper, Dolphins into the Future, Monopoly Child Star Searchers, amongst others), many of whom have played in the city, at venues that are now not much more than rubble. The compilation is full of heavy hitters who loved the city. That said, everyone involved would greatly appreciate if listeners could support the relief effort by giving a few bucks to the Red Cross.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.box.net/shared/static/2peiov2mmy.zip">RQ CHRISTCHURCH EQ RELIEF 2011 COMPILATION </a><br />TRACKLIST:<br />1.
