back from over there. ive got a ton of questions for the haus interview, but im not sure i have the energy to articulate them properly now. ill join you insomniacs instead.
Not heard it, but Warp always stand out for pushing a few highly original acts and, through fluke or good judgement, managing to sign acts who feel right for the times. Ifyewknowotimean.
It's been ages since I bought anything from warp, I just make do with the Darren Emerson Global Underground compilations nowadays if inclined to listen to anything "electronic" - more basic but effectful.

wow that is some list.
janina + I are listening to Ravel (string quartet in F maj).
why have you no Bach? Goldberg variations - sweet.
I heard the Liturgy of the Whale live in a cathedral last year - definitely better alive than recorded. Two guys wandering round singing w - h - a - l - e in a slightly out of synch fashion.
Sounds interesting, exp. I mistook your previous post to mean that it was a Warp records comp, like We Are Reasonable People or Blech, and that you were disappointed in it. I'll have to get a hold of it.
I read that numerous times (while checking to see if there was anything new here) and each time I read "Is their guanno in it too, cause I think that's another kind of caffeine..." very much a different set of wings.
Is anyone alive and awke at this hour. Im durned drunk thanks to 2 carbuoys of wine (one red, one white..) Its one fourty five am sat> and i"ve doen something to my keyboard so it wont print numbers and will only print small letters if the caps lock key is on>
I am awake. I wish I wasn't. Damn insomnia. I keep trying to write something coherent and I keep failing. I'm going to go try to sleep now. Good luck with your keyboard, Keggy.
exp: Oooh. I almost asked for that for Christmas last year. But yeah, you're right; Warp really aren't that experimental compared to that listing. I'm not sure how much I'd enjoy it; I know I'd find it hugely interesting, though...
exp: 'Switched on Bach' by Walter Carlos. Not to my taste particularly, but a collection of Bach pieces (Brandenburg concertos, Sheep may safely graze to name a few) arranged for the Moog synthesizer. This music is no longer avant-garde, but in 1976 Carlos was definitely innovative.
NB: I think the Bach disc came out after ze became Wendy Carlos. I've got one of hir discs - Sonic Seasonings - and it's pretty good. I'm waiting for hir to release hir "proper" soundtrack to The Shining, though...
digging this up as I want some company for a while... good thread, exp.
am insomiacal and seeking distraction from thoughts. tried talking to my teddy bears and am a bit concerned that pretty soon they're going to start talking back.
insomnia is always my friend. the sort of friend who completely overstays their welcome and refuses to take hints even when you try to push them out the front door. loyal, though.
I think I'm going to avoid the herbal sleepy things, though. I had one last night because I couldn't sleep, and it only made me feel like my eyelids were attached to fish-hooks. Eww.
I'm at home, upstate, where alllll is very quiet and I'm sitting here wondering how Tomorrow Never Dies could possibly be worse than I remembered it. What bit of New York are you visiting? The bit with all the pointy parts?
It was good. I ended up having lots of intense one to ones, which is how I prefer things. Shame to have missed you, but I'm sure you'll see myself and Mordant soon enough. We'll make lots of attention grabbing visits to London as my confidence in the Ireland fetish scene isn't sky high. Barcelona might be better though.
hey you, although like Maz. you're probably up at a respectable time instead of desperately begging people to share your insomnia... were you taking Valerian? that's the one i find is a real knock out...
