Only In Russia - Crutch Dance

There I was thinking my dancing times are over, having just spent the best part of 6 weeks on crutches after a recent knee operation, only to discover this wonderful visual crutch dance.

Luis Delgado - Cielo Profundo

Jansky Noise - Slow Order

An excerpt from my forthcoming album exploring new music and old romance. The full piece will be available soon. The base of the album evolves around - 80's sythn classic. It's a slow momentous ride, slowed electronics, coupled with romance. A blown fuse point where an end arrived and those epic structural harmonics and old masters before go off the edge. Fluidity get´s lost and melts into contrast, while color collides and swaps itself into expression. In the struggle of sound a blurred new form attempts to emerge, uncertain and without direction. Modulated music, both diminished and expanded. More about this forthcoming release which will be available in several parts on different platforms very soon.

LANA DEL REY-VIDEO GAMES

My long standing friend, vocalist and collaborator T.T or 10/10, has just sent me this wonderful link. Real nice to wake up with Lana Del Rey. The production here is stunning, love the mix, yeh, it's commercial, but it's my idea of fun, the effects on the vocals, the harp, the percussion and the slices of video injected into the mix. Heaven is a place on earth with you. Lana Del Rey - Video Games and Blue Jeans. Much better than I ever knew. They say the world was built for two, play and enjoy. Loving you...x. Yew, you it's all for you!!!

Shri Chamunda chalisa

Looking into what constitutes a - lullaby and stumbled across this hallardu, designed for children of India and speakers of Gujarati worldwide. The slower percussion and melody are pleasing, not sure how much I could sleep listening too this but it's certainly sweet.

Petra Jean Phillipson - Tubeophany - Notes on Death

After looking around on line for Petra Jean Philipson, I could not find a song from her new album titled - Notes on Death. I therefore decided that it was time to upload a taster for you to hear. Petra is touching on a raw nerve with her experiments. This Tubeophany track actually runs at over 13min on the album. I have uploaded a reduced version for you. The album is a mixed canvas of experiments which could well help her land other more theatrical works. Not quite as dark as the new tracks from Passing Yew, but interesting nevertheless.

SPACE CADET - Remember the Future

The legendary Glagsow/Manchester based DJ and Father to myself and James Leyland Kirby Acid Alan used the term 'space cadet', to describe many a person more than I care to ever remember. I like to think of this song as perhaps the music equivalent of what he was referring to. Take advice from Acid Alan and the Space Cadet - be a space cadet, escape reality, move inside walls, go out and eat a meal on Mars, let Robots do the work, live amongst the stars!!! Remember kids the future is to escape reality or at least that's what the Space Cadet believe. Too stupid and too good!

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

Yeh, this has a future! We need more of this!

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!

Rank Sinatra - Greatest Hits

After almost 10 years of sitting on a hard-drive somewhere deep in the Australia bush, the old Rank Sinatra, T.T and Animal cover version of the classic 80's love ballad - Love lifts us up where we belong, is out! This version has been electrocuted, shot and hacked to death, not sure if it's a medley or just meddling, either way we didn't as yet get a meddle for it. Amazing how these experiments get lost and resound. The road indeed is long and certainly mountains are in the way. Check the disk, it's Rank Sinatra at his best and Animal in Test!!
