the blog has gone quiet hasn’t it.<\/p>\n
sorry about that, but i have my reason(s). <\/p>\n
mainly in the form that anything with guitars\/vocals etc really hurts my head.<\/p>\n
i am sure this extended period of head pains is a stress related situation given that the place i spend my working hours is currently going through a period of turmoil, that and ireallylovemusic<\/u> hq is once again enjoying the trials and tribulations of a partial facelift, something that always induces extra pressure on my time starved days, all of which means i am not overly concerned and confident that normality will be resumed once the dust has settled.<\/p>\n
however, this does mean that the pile of spiky electro based noises, indie chancers and suchlike have been left somewhat unloved.<\/p>\n
in fact, if i drop in today’s play list you may just get what’s going on : <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
the ambient cookbook<\/a> (fax records).<\/p>\n 4 cd compilation released back in 94 containing many of the highlights of the labels golden era. <\/p>\n still sounds absolutely perfect all these years on.<\/p>\n the whole traffic<\/a> (fax records)<\/p>\n one that i never really got back in 94, but today the combination of dr atmo<\/strong> and the basalt boys<\/strong> throbbing acid synths and drawn out ambience hit the spot.<\/p>\n electro harmonix<\/a> (fax records)<\/p>\n a fantastic combination of the talents of jonah sharp<\/strong> and testu inoue<\/strong>. a brilliant slice of ambient techno.<\/p>\n yagya – the rhythm of snow<\/a> (force inc)<\/p>\n recently picked this up for a pound in a bin, purely due to the cover art and some memory that the record label force inc is one to watch out for. <\/p>\n when listening in the office it drifted over me, but today the bass heavy but gentle techno pulsations and textures sounded beautifully deep and very special.<\/p>\n underworld and gabriel yared : breaking and entering<\/a> (soundtrack)<\/p>\n still working through this one. it’s a film score relying heavily on atmosphere and piano. <\/p>\n i fell asleep while this was oozing out of the soundsystem, so i guess that’s an indication as to the style. i think its more organic than the rest of the days choices with real orchestration and ‘proper’ instruments alongside the electronics of underworld<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n so, now that you have seen the list, i think it’s quite clear as to what’s happening.<\/p>\n i understand that you are keen for news on the latest and greatest, and that i’m not meeting such demands, for which i can but apologise, but i think it’s apparent that this corner of the web aint going there for a while. instead i have to wait out this mood until my inner batteries are recharged and willing to appreciate new head rattling noise.<\/p>\n in the meantime, i’m going to be travelling down that time tunnel to ’94 again.<\/p>\n by all means join in, reissued copies of the ambient cookbook<\/font> are readily available i believe, but be careful, if you pick the collection up, it could quite easily kickstart your own fax records<\/u> obsession.<\/p>\n more detail<\/u> : here<\/a> – – fax records<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" the blog has gone quiet hasn’t it. sorry about that, but i have my reason(s). mainly in the form that anything with guitars\/vocals etc really hurts my head. i am sure this extended period of head pains is a stress related situation given that the place i spend my working hours is currently going through […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1050","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-everything"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/ireallylovemusic.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1050","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/ireallylovemusic.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/ireallylovemusic.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/ireallylovemusic.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/ireallylovemusic.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1050"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/ireallylovemusic.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1050\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/ireallylovemusic.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1050"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/ireallylovemusic.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1050"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/ireallylovemusic.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1050"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
