Music dump

petroniaStuff I've talked about etc. Haven't posted any music in a week so now you get a truckload of 10MB plip-plop techno - I'm sorryyyy, I know it's boring but this is really what I listen to all day. I even played Andrew three straight hours of minimal house while making and eating chicken curry ramen noodles. At this point I hold out the hope that some people are downloading out of habit and will grow to like it eventually after they've had it on shuffle in the background for a while. XD
Robag Wruhme - K.T.B.: Robag Wruhme is Wighnomy Kempt. This is the one track on the album I said sounded like trip hop/acid jazz, mainly because the bass is a real upright bass with strings - oh, and there is A GURL SINGING ACTUAL SONG. XD Not unlike Kobayashi without half the instruments and more cut-up tweaked beats, really. (6.72MB)
Robag Wruhme - Pelagia: more broken tweaked hip-hop beat, but melodic 'pretty' IDM this time. (5.19MB)
Télépopmusik - Don't Look Back (John Tejada Remix) (9.09MB)
Télépopmusik - Into Everything (Zdar Dub) (13.3MB)
The other Télépopmusik remixes I promised a week ago but never got around to uploading. ^^;
Sten - Asami: okay, to be honest this is the only plip-ploppy track. XD Darkly hypnotic like one of those 21st-century techno-dystopian mindfuck anime series. I played this to my sister with the volume turned way up, trying to explain why I liked it and what my listening strategy was - the dub-dub-dubdubdub bassline propels your body forward, you have to adjust to it physically, at the same time your attention weaves in and out of all the rhythmic layers - she sort of paid attention politely then asked how come I didn't like classical music if I was going to intellectualize it like that? I said you can't dance to classical music and it's always the same instruments all the time. XD;;;; (7.6MB)
...Actually it probably has as much to do with the length of the effort/reward feedback loop (classical's is a lot shorter, the complex stuff doesn't give you any time to feel pleased with yourself for having identified a motif). But it really is the case that I can't get into music from which I feel physically disconnected. Note my sister likes guitar indie precisely because of the restricted instrument set, it's another sort of minimalism/pleasure of small differences - ignore the sonic palette, focus on songwriting.
Phonique feat. Erlend Oye - For The Time Being: for the peeps who like Kelley Polar, that Cut Copy remix of the Presets, Erlend Oye's own Unrest (ex. "Ghost Trains") and whatnot. This sort of melancholy disco-pop always gives me an impression of enclosed spaciousness, like standing in some incredibly posh open-plan penthouse suite that takes up the entire 60th floor of a highrise. Half the walls are glass from floor to ceiling, everything else is white, there's no furniture at all, the place is empty, it's late at night and the lights are off. The only illumination comes from the city outside the windows. That's what it feels like. (9.45MB)
Conjure One feat. Poe - Extraordinary Way: I didn't know there was a new album out last year. If this track is anything to go by it's more of the same - not quite as ace as "Centre of the Sun" or "Manic Star", but pretty good in its own right. (6.43MB)
Ricardo Villalobos - Sieso: I am honestly curious to know if anyone else will like this. XD It's 12 minutes long (16.4MB wide) and I find I listen to it in the same way as I'd listen to Iranian classical music, rather than techno. Intricate and druggy, not even in a marijuana way so much as a Sudafed way. At the end of the 12(!) minutes I'm like, "Wait, why did it stop? Make it come back!"
Lindstrom & Prins Thomas - Mighty Girl:a dance cover of an obscure Can track from a 1970s Peel Session piano house - best not to bother one's head too much. XD;; The happiest song in this update. The title is totally appropriate - just the way the melody rises and builds is like throwing on a caped costume and flying out to battle the baddies. (11.4MB)

There's a remix of one of the Poe tracks where they pitched her vocals down to an almost-but-not-quite masculine tone, and it sounds like crap. I'm not sure what they were thinking.
