Random tracks I’ve been listening to recently across any number of genres at any given time and thoughts on those tracks at that moment in time.
Gina X - Bb 50
A hidden atmospheric number from the second side of “Yinglish”, the fourth and final collaboration of German musicians Gina X and Zeus Beheld.
The Monorchid - Dead Signal
The Monorchid were a short-lived Washington DC band coming from a long lineage of players in that scene, resulting in a unique, wire-y sound.
Bruno Nicolai - All The Colours Of The Dark (Sabba)
A strange psychedelic soundtrack number by Italian composer Bruno Nicolai for the film All The Colors Of The Dark and the usage of choirs in giallo.
Caroline K - Between The Spaces 1
A track by Caroline K with a solemn, Gregorian quality about it, including subtle shifts in phrasing and chords that each shift sort of changes the audio “colour”.
Iggy Pop - Mass Production
The long closing track from The Idiot (1977) by Iggy Pop, featuring some interesting synthesizer work with repetition that brings to mind Drive Like Jehu.
Universal Order Of Armageddon - The Switch Is Down
This track from the short-lived 90s hardcore band Universal Order Of Armageddon features one of the most blinding false endings in the genre.
Victrola - Tenderface
Some serious square wave bassline action from classic minimal wave group Victrola, more well known for their classic track “Maritime Tatami”.
Lars Falk - Hello Hello
An underground minimal synth classic by Swedish artist Lars Falk (also of Twice A man) from his debut release that employs a nice EQ trick.
June Of 44 - Doomsday
A look at the details of the track “Doomsday” by post-(insert term here) “supergroup” June Of 44 from their 1998 album Four Great Points.
