Very sad news. First Ursula K. Le Guin, now Mark E. Smith

Currently listening to the first in what seems to be a series of several good releases of “Eliane Tapes”

This one is Kassel Jaeger inspired by Éliane Radigue.

Can’t go wrong with this one.

Had me at “inspired by Éliane Radigue.” Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Not part of the series, but another Radigue-inspired piece my friend Nicholas made a few years ago:

I don’t know how I went so long without hearing of Sparks, but they’re what I’m listening to right now. Some really good synth bits/hooks/arpeggios, which I’m definitely susceptible to.

you’re gonna want to check this out next then. (I love the moroder era but Kimono My House is my fave)

I just discovered Sparks last year and got really into this album too! I found out about them while watching this bat shit crazy movie called The Forbidden Room. They played this entire song in the movie:

Just started listening to this, but have been looking forward to it for months.

Bass Clef Bells mix is great (if you’re partial to bells)

Listening to a bunch of Coil right now, but this song in particular was largely responsible for me deciding that synthesizers were my instruments of choice:

Notes via Thighpaulsandra: “I can check on the original files but I seem to recall Red Birds being sequenced on a Roland MC202 and MOTU DP on my Serge system and PPG Wave 2.2. Mellotron was a very sick 400. (I think very few of the notes worked). End freakout sounds like ARP 2600. Sleazy did the vocal treatment and some phasing with a Boss SE70.”

I’m listening to that one again, totally agree.

I don’t know how to describe the feeling, but it hits me like a truck.

Also love this track from the same album. The swelling has the rhythm of ocean waves. It makes me daydream.

Just listened to the new Nils Frahm record. The whole thing is excellent, but I’m especially pleased to hear a studio version of “All Melody” and “#2”, after watching this live performance countless times.

Love this! It’s wonderful!
