I heard on interview with him on npr yesterday, never heard of him before, but enjoyed what I heard. He has a live film out or something and saw the audio is available on Spotify.

Has the K word been cancelled now? I missed that meeting. I'll lock away Faust IV and Rot to be safe. I'm just a very casual Faust listener but this quote I read on Wikipedia years ago amused me to the point of wanting to like them more. "Meifert was sacked shortly afterwards because, as Peron wrot...

I know I'm a hater but what's all that ugly typeface on the faceplate? It's very distracting. I tried to watch the demo but it made me cringe.

I haven't listed to So in a few months, found a CD in a thrift store yesterday, and again once stuck on Loved to be Loved. Is it just me but when he hits the "And all the world can see I'm losing such a central part of me" does it open some emotional firewall for you? Good thing about masks is they ...

I would like to apologize for starting this thread with the use of the derogatory term "krautrock" it has only recently been brought to my attention that the labeling of it as such has a direct lineage to the propaganda machine that came out of the Marshall Plan. It has been suggested to me that we ...

Just gonna put this here for anyone that hasn’t heard it. The Cluster duo of Roedelius and Moebius with Michael Rother. Whole album is wonderful, but this long track has always been special for me. I have the original Brain release on vinyl, quite a valuable album now. Their followup, “Deluxe” is a...

But how many shoe boxes could Salvatore Ferragamo fit into a hard drive?

Where is your pipe stand and such?

Ok, well... probably doesn't really belong here anyways, just trying to figure out how I should consume music at this point that doesn't require much work while getting away from Spotify etc., not only because of the shitty compensation but because I know how shitty it sounds. Does it really sound ...

I've always felt somehow inadequate for never getting Krautrock. At least you recognise it :hihi: I jest....it surprises me you don’t like it! I think a lot of the kinds of house and techno music that I know you love wouldn’t really exist without a lot of the principles developed in krautrock - lon...

I'll stick with something called "the window".

Where are you going?

Swiss mountains. Electricity and internet available but I’m going to isolate and be focused on creation only.

That sounds lovely. Will you be traveling the via Alpina with the synth strapped to your back?

This Rother album is a bit of a departure, I'm enjoying it greatly on a dreary day, rather upbeat. So much of his work seems to have gone unnoticed or just unwritten about.



Full album is available on Sodify BTW.

I've been a Prekop/Sea & Cake fan for many years, so I'm a bit biased. But I really like this record. It's warm and melodic and full of colour. It's really well put together and sounds great imho. 'Approaching' is a beautiful track which reminds me of 70s era Cluster. That song does sound a bit lik...

Where are you going?

Kevin Shields recorded Loveless in mainly mono in hopes it would sound more or less the same on both a hifi or shitty boombox: I wonder how streaming on a good sound system compares to listening to a CD on a crappy system? I think the mono / stereo dimension is a separate discussion. In fact, perha...

Do you like Indian classical music?

By Ustad Ali Akbar Khan.

Thanks, I was trying to recall him specifically when i posted this.

Their is something really engaging when you find one of those radio programs devoted to something like ragas when you're trying to learn more about a genre (hope that isn't goo narrow a term). Unfortunately this program isn't available for streaming but anyone who happens to be near NYC Sunday eveni...

Fun thread. I'm hoping one of our resident graphics whizzkids will work up a When Will I Be Famous module. Alternative is you sit on the floor on a persian rug surrounded by modular synth. Fame will be yours, just don't forget reverb and delay. Uh, I thought specifically it must be a kilim rug heav...

I heard an interview with Hugh Grant today and he said that George Clooney sleeps in a closest or something in his villa on Lake Cuomo because it makes him feel cozy and swaddled in those memories of being poor.

Anyways, isn't buying modules a way to not accumulate wealth?

Thanks for that link. Really enjoying it as well.

Glad you like it, reminds me a bit of GAS.

Don't sell it mor4sso. I'm on my 2nd one and I'm keeping this one. All the cheap fucking bottom feeding plankton eating downtrodden destitute has beens of this world are only going to give you $600 tops for it. As for the MPC vs. SP16, I have both. The MPC seems to me more like a composing machine ...

Just came across this highly enjoyable album of his:

I think you’re thinking the word “classical” means western. It doesn’t. I do not. I do think that the word comes with a lot of Western presumptions which causes other musics to be judged on the values of Western music rather than their own, as in the question posed by the OP. Well, I think my quest...
