Jansky Noise - Past Present & Future Star Music

The latest EP from Semispecific Ensemble is an intriguing exploration of sound, filled with fun and familiarity. It artfully blends innovative rhythms with a nostalgic nod to the early ambient works of Hawkwind and the serene soundscapes of Fax music. There's a sense of déjà vu in the air, a distinct flavour in the music that feels both new and comfortably familiar. This project isn't just a collection of tracks; it's a scholarly yet playful journey through the realms of ambient, jazz, and early electronics / techno influences.

This one goes uptoday for Luke my nephew. If my mind serves me well, about 20-25 years earlier in my life,  I was also taking that very same bus up Birdhall Lane to Cheadle Hulme and back, whilst listening to cassettes with the likes of Juan Atkins, and earlier classics like  Cybertron - Clear.   Here we are some 25 years later and Luke is inserting Maggot Brain into his playlist whilst on that same path that the 368/9 takes from Cheadle Hulme to Stockport.  What a sequence of events, cyclic yet, no PHD can calculate that one.  I am greateful that we both took time today to talk, listen and share.  Day 1, 2021, quite remarkable.
