Midnight Star - "Midas Touch (Hell Interface remix)"
http://download.youBoCit.com/205DC500201260A7

Anyone heard (or have?) anything by this guy?

http://www.discogs.com/artist/Christ.

Yep, I have a few things. I know he has some connection to BoC, but I'm not sure exactly what that connection is... Undo, do you have any idea?

I will upload his album Blue Shift Emissions tonight. Picked it up randomly on torrents last night, giving it a run through right now.

QUOTE

Christ. is an Scottish solo electronic music artist. Yes that period is apart of his name, so if you don’t see it in there, it means the editors of this paper aren’t reading this very sentence. It serves no religious meaning; it simply abbreviates his name, Christopher. Christ. works with lush and unobtrusive soundscapes to create somber and rhythmic environments for his listeners. A feeling of flotation overwhelms me and I’m overcome in a soft ambient glow. Soft beats, mixed with taps and glitches emanate throughout, but never to any sort of annoyance.

This is a step up from minimalist electro, so to some listeners it may be boring, or even pointless. But it isn’t something to beat your chest to, or scream your head off with. It is something that surrounds you. A different sort of musical experience that some don’t bother with. It’s a great album to have in the background, sleeping, writing, etc. Each song flows into the next, but none sound quite like another, which is very cool if you are paying attention.

Definitely wouldn't call this one totally minimalist, and I'm not a real electronica guy, so my standards aren't warped.

Here's a random upping for you all. Last song on the Captain Ahab album and they've toned down the mania for this one. I was playing it and then realised I love it, despite (or perhaps due to) the fact that it's rather cheesy. It's an odd one all right, but once you let the groove get under your skin, it suddenly gets really fun.

Put this on my pod and saved it for the walk home from work this morning. Ended up listening to it three times...loved it. Not what I expected at all but I’ve never heard any Ahab before so I don't know what I was expecting.

Just the right weather for it. Do you recommend anything else from them?

Hmm, well I was planning on upping a song that is more representative of them, but I have reached that stage where I just wanna up loads of it. I'll give y'all a taster anyway, and then if people want I'll up the whole thing. Anyway, I've blithered on about the boyz a bit on this board, most notably here, with a description that has either sent people reading it running for the hills or, err, not. Anyway, it's the kind of thing that is reallly love/hate. I have come to the conclusion that it's some strange Andrew WK and Genghis Tron on spring break kind of thing.

Two songs then:

'I Can't Wait for Summer' should probably be in a rock type of folder, as it's Avril going slutty while WK tickles the ivories in the background. 'It's not junior high any more and I don't like Nine Inch Nails any more' and 'Scott's gonna kick your ass 'cause he's a fucking football player' are lyrical highlights.

'Girls Gone Wild' is so wrong it's right. It should be the worst thing ever, being Robo-Cher tripping her android tits off and pretending to be sixteen while people play Bloodhound Gang and Altern-8 records too fast, and at the same time. I love it to insane levels. And I have no idea why the dude sings from the POV of the titular girls, but it makes for some awesome vocal pitch-shifting:

"Girls Gone Wild" was featured in an episode of The Office last year. Michael Scott was playing it at his hotel room party as he sat against the wall all alone.

Irritant Records used to have a free mp3 of "You Never Ever Ever Ever" up on their site. It's not up there anymore, but here it is. I've been trying to get people to listen to this song for years now but I never really bothered with anything else that Captain Ahab had done other than that. It's great, but I never would have guessed that they'd make something like "While You Were Sleeping" after hearing it.

I know there was a Captain Ahab song on the Snakes on a Plane soundtrack, but I probably shouldn't mention that if we're supposed to take them seriously now. The board hates that movie.

That's too bad. I was hoping they'd go in a Max Tundra or Dan Deacon-like direction. But instead it looks like they're auditioning for the opening spot on an MC Frontalot/Kompressor tour. This is the kind of "ironic" music that I don't like.

May 24 2007, 11:41 AM

Yeah, I've just listened to it, and they've got a touch too close to OPM for my liking. The electro stuff had a ton of effort going into it which made the juxtaposition with the frattiness where it was at. This is too clunky. They actually released something in December of last year, so I'll check that out just in case.

Checking it against the tracklist on the Mu website and the one on discogs I’m pretty sure a lot of the tags are fucked up. Track three is definitely supposed to be Give Them Fire. Bleep Biopsy has been renamed Big In Chapeltown and Reverse Rebel (with The Ragga Twins) is missing completely.

Well , we have tried to use a certain east london venue twice now & twice at the last hurdle , we have failed . The good news though is that we have managed to secure the wonderful , long running warehouse venue ; ELECTROWERKZ . The Electrowerkz has been around for so long and has a marvellous shabby feel to it . We will be occupying the middle floor of the venue and it is rather intimate . perfect for the Dial Records Showcase . Brittski & myself went to the venue this afternoon & we are quite excited about experimenting with the space visually . We will be fully utilising the lighting Rig that they have in the venue too !:) The Bar prices are very reasonable . The Soundsytem is decent as well .

Is this the same Cyrus that was on the Basic Channel label?

If we redid the 06 album poll right now Extend by Milanese would be a shoe-in for my top ten. I’ve been hotly anticipating his new mini album and it’s just dropped. Clark, Distance, Venger and Hardvision bring quality remixes of some of the best tracks off the LP and Milanese brings some knock-out new ones too....

eg. Double Face (Feat. Katie Kestrel)

Milanese - Adapt

Tracklisting:
1 Mr Good News (5:04)
2 Sight Beyond Sight (Hrdvsion Remix) (5:18)
3 Mr Bad News (Clark Remix) (5:00)
4 Barry Dub (5:38)
5 So Malleable (Cold Mix) (5:23)
6 Double Face (Feat. Kate Kestrel) (4:57)
7 Dead Man Walking (Feat. Virus Syndicate - DJ Distance Remix) (4:40)
8 Billy Electron (Venger Remix) (3:31)

I stumbled across this album due to the Ryan Olcott connection, the key member in the 90s alt-rock band 12Rods. Now him and a few friends perform under the moniker Mystery Palace, an blip and bleep electronic outfit reminiscent of Junior Boys. "Flags Forward" often sounds a lot like Junior Boys. At other times, it kinda sounds like Caribou, as performed by Junior Boys. Needless to say, fans of the Junior Boys--"Last Exit" in particular--should take notice.

Any opinions on the new Mathew Dear or Apparat albums?? Besides these two, what else has come out recently that deserves my attention? The last few months I have liked the following things that were posted: skull disco stuff, audion tracks, u-ziq album (!). Listened to that Tobias Thomas mix while driving around michigan and was disappointed by its slow build, although the last 40 mins are great. Optimo Mix is 60/40, essential mixes are a little too long for a regular sitting and I am not privilaged with internet at work or school as some of you might be.

During my detroit visit I got some great oldies: Mathew Herberts 100 Lbs, Carl Craig Landcrusing Remix Album, Theo Parrish First Floor, Recloose Spelunking EP, and a Planet E comp called Geology: The Early Years of Planet E. The Herbert and Theo Parrish albums are good and the Landcrusing remix album is really great (as is most of carl craig's output), but the Recloose EP and Planet E comp were revelations. Recloose, imo, is massively underrated as an artist. This album along with his album Cardiology are 2 of my favortite post 2000 albums (even though EP was 99, we'll say 2000). Deep soul/funk inspired house music with techno's gritty synth sound is how I would describe his sound, but i recommend just going out and finding either of these two albums. The Planet E comp on the other hand is a mish mash of all things detroit, besides garage rock i guess... jazz, funk, house, techno, jungle and ambient round out this fine comp. Planet E, started by carl craig, is a cool label in that it accepts everything black affiliated (musically) instead of just techno or just house or whatever. I will upload things in the future to demonstrate the variability of this labels output.

haven't heard Apparat, cos i didn't like what they did with Ellen Allien last year, and i'm certain that i would not like their own work either.

don't wanna praise Tobias Thomas mix too much, cos i don't like it all that much, but for a home listening it's rather nice. that slow build up that you mention gives it a nice loungey feeling. which is not necessary bad for that kind of mix. if you want something more upbeat, there is a live mix by Oliver Hunteman. great electro house. it rocks if you dig that kind of sound. but if you'd rather listen to something minimal, but that also can rock, i'd recommend the new M-Nus mix, called Nothing Much. it's very good. if you dig M-Nus sound you'll definitely like that one.

Matthew Dear album bored the hell out of me. it's worse than The Postal Service, and even the last album by Junior Boys is better than it (and i hated that Junior Boys album). there's nothing on that album that is better than "deserter" which in itself is a pretty forgettable track after you listen to it 10 or so times in a row.

if you want a techno album with a but or human touch to it, i'd recommend Kalabrese. it's got its minimal base, but most of the stuff on it, as i understood, are live instruments, and there's a lot of vocals and stuff like that. blends all kinds of styles and everything.

Lose My Chair

here are two albums that i like the most from this year:

JPLS - Twilight [M-Nus]

Green01 Skoozpots (Twilite Remix)
i dig this one. great minimal sound. keeps a nice vibe to it throughout the whole album.

Digitaline - Anticlickwise [Cadenza]

Supertroll
this will probably sound way too minimal on the first listen. but try listening to it through headphones and it'll definitely grow on you. i don't think there's been an album as cohesive as this one so far. great production on all tracks.

i could post some more stuff like Efdemin, Pantha du Prince, Gabriel Ananda, Robert Babicz, Stephan Bodzin and Dominik Eulberg, but you probably heard most of them. and to me they're not all that great.
