Andrea Parker - After Dark

I was never a fan of Andrea Parker, but my old mate Marco P. from Italy - has highlighted this one for me again, time and time again. It has a darkness which strikes a chord, simplicity in electronics. I will also put some old stuff to the Nature Records myself and James used to buy many moons ago when shopping in London, when electronic music was exciting, way back in 1999 and before!!

Los Sampler's descars manbo brillantehd manbo

Los samplers- La vida es llena de cables

Yeh, this is stupid but I agree - The World is full of cables. Without them we would be in a real mess, we should thanks Los Samplers for the reminder... Hasta pronto!!!

Cornnell Campbell - Under The Old Oak Tree

Under an Old Oak.. Under an old tree? I am loving trees at the moment, but the tree I am interested in is actually the Yew. Soon, something will appear with a Yew in the title which may or may not put a shiver in you...Mmmh..

Tom Lehrer - The Masochism Tango - now on DVD

I just rediscovered Tom Lehrer comical Tango, seems like the right day for this song. Yesterday there was a mascot, no massocar on the drums in El Pero Club Madrid with our man from - The Ruins. I took Yoshida for dinner at ''Jin Jin'', a Chinease restaurant in Madrid, I have a story to tell you about that, after the food, with our bellies full, we laughed about my favourite bar in Madrid 'Palentinos', and the staff who work in it, if you add the age of the two staff that work behind the bar you get a figure of more than 200 years! This strange fact tickled Yosida, but more on that another time. After our giggle, Yosida hit the the drums with mastery loaded with a belly of duck. Tom tom mashing, slashing skills, a tutti pleny.. Jolt, talking of Tom but another one - Tom Lehrer, I was reminded of his song due to another Latin project I have in motion. The future tango mix, will make it's way into a CD or download. The mix will be full of rumba, and the jolli

Ruins - Bupphairodazz

Yeh, this one would be good tonight. Doubt it will happen but you never know. Madrid in Ruins come on!!!

John Zorn - Invitation to a suicide

Yoshida Tatsuya is in town. On my way to meet him now, I have just been informed that he's looking to shower and eat. Hoping to chat with him a little about some of his collaborations with People like John Zorn, my mate Mike Patton, KK-Null and the countless others he has worked with. Wounded by the days events and hopping like a real pirate, or should I say limping. Let's if this old peg leg can convince Yoshida Tatsuya to do more than adventure with me. What-ever happens Yoshida from The Ruins, will be playing at our little club tonight,,,nice!!!

Mi Ami - African Rhythms (White Denim, 2008)

It's amazing what you find with a little searching. Really like the way Mi Ami has pieced this little racket together. Thumbs up and tom toms down, post tribal punk noise jam. Will be attempting some more rhythmical stuff probably with more noise sooner or later. ARRGh

FTS: English Journey 1

Good combination here, real shame I wont be able to attend the show. I am sure it will be quite special.

Jaap Blonk performance - installation Messa di Voce

My old mate Jaap Blonk you have to love him. He really is special. Here in his installation Messa di Voce Jaap is encapsulated and bound with a special visual which helps extend dimensions and fuel experimentation. Really great that these types of pairings happen without doubt something wonderful and an audio-visual delight...

Lost (Held Under) - KK Null / Jim Plotkin

Good to see this track up on Youtube. It's fair to say that this is a classic with distinction. My old mate James Plotkin and KK Null really getting into some deep space and ambience here. Hit's the spot. Classic dark ambience at it's best. Up with the best!
