why is it so difficult for me to remember to simply blog? well, its because i record a metric ton of music. i released a split lp with friends The Mountain Chiefs a few weeks back, if you're interested give it a listen here:
anyway, on to the blog update. ive included another killer release by trevor bastow, this time trevor bastow and patrick wilson on the bruton label. some orchestral tracks fill out this release, but its mainly driving dancier electronic output, definitely for fans of spacier disco, maybe this is a bit smarter all around. simply beautiful music. for fans of ciani, hawkshaw, and mansfield.
enjoy, check out both releases...i'll try and not wait 4 months to update the blog again.
hey again, back for a quick blog update for you guys. i wanted to share this anthony hobson before i forget. maybe if i make these updates quicker and shorter ill remember to do em more often, heh!
as some of you who follow my blog know, i love the anthony hobson moniker, and ive got a soft spot for dewolfe all around. this album has a very balanced feel thats both rockin and groovin, but also retains a lot of orchestral elements. it claims to be 'for sport and action' on the back cover, and i'd say thats certainly accurate, but theres some great synthwork on this album with nice brass that will tinker with the back of your neck for sure. theres even some great guitar that ties all of the elements to this release together and makes a very cohesive release. its a cut above in both the arrangement and production and certainly worth hearing. have a listen to the first cut.
track 4 is missing from this rip, my apologies for that. but i think you'll see that this one is definitely worth sharing, and i hope you dig it! heres 'meet the future' by anthony hobson, enjoy!
hi again. blog updates have been slow as i have been hard at work on my own music, so lets get right down to it. today i have 2 delicious albums by simon park, of dewolfe and perhaps more on us shorts, nfl fame. simon was born in 1946, and began playing piano at the age of 5. he was perhaps best known for 'eye level', written for the detective thriller 'van der valk', which spent 4 weeks at the #1 position in the uk singles charts in sept of 1973. he went on to write at 15 or more albums in the 1980's for imprints such as dewolfe and rogue as well as many segments from nfl montages over the years. as you can hear, the titletrack from 'knock onward' is lush and full of synthy driving goodness.
heres two releases by simon park to make up for lost time, enjoy!
hey there, im super sorry i keep forgetting to update the blog. hopefully the QUALITY of what im offering up and the history supercedes any QUANTITY, hehe. i want to share a beautiful album by jean pierre decerf and myriam chadcar, its called synthetic music. some of the tracks have a great holiday feel so i thought to share. have a listen and see for yourself!
super lush melodies here from jp decerf, ive got a dozen or so albums by him and this definitely is one of the albums i prefer more. just have a listen and see if tracks like rythmic and thematic dont do something for you. very nice layering of synth sounds on this, but the rhythms definitely arent to be scoffed at. i think this album even now is very ahead of its time. maybe you'll agree. enjoy.
hey there, sorry i was a little late on making a blog post for ya'll, ive been working hard on my own music actually. today im going to share a great bruton from the l series with various composers such as paul hart and harold fisher. this 17 track release had a great driving futuristic feel that you must check out, blogger and youtube wont cooperate, so here's the album and a link on youtube to the titletrack. enjoy and give some feedback!
Greeting from TSSBAY01. Today I wanted to share this amazing album by James Asher, entitled Flash Music. James was a producer/multiinstrumentalist who wrote for New Southern Library, Rogue, and Bruton among other labels. He was a big deal in the production music world, he had licensed soundtracks to MTV and Studio Four among other places. While 'Flash Music' may be his most experimental and bizarre album, its also the most accessible, so I figured it would be a good idea to let you try this one on for size. Here, have a listen to 'Process Y', a great B-side album favorite.
To not mention that this album is very FM oriented and saturated sounding would be remiss, but theres also some other great synths and the way they mesh together is great. To me, this is very fun and organic electro music, but it's faurky still beat oriented. The kind of thing that will work for both porno or party music. Pets like it too. James has a great sense of melody on this album and the songs arent too long, so they feel very stacked with groove most of all. Recommended for you if you are into Teddy Lasry, Proxyon, Arsenal, Andy Clark,
and Keith Mansfield. So without further ado, heres Flash Music.
Hey again. I wanted to lay this album on you because theres some serious things going on here melodywise, beautiful synthesizers and choices of instruments here. But between what you hear in the playing and the beautiful songs on this album, well, it is certainly hard to say what the main goodies even are..but i'll say its gonna stick with you.
Tracks like "Caressed by the Sun" and 'On The Move' have such a great feel, you absolutely get treated to sensibilities that you'd hear in a real verbose NWOBHM metal track, but theres a ton of pop to this. Think simply that _feel_. I guess it's best to say you get those polyharmonic good-feelin chords across many instruments, which is a big plus, but these guys are a lot like Landscape, aka The German YMO, who I will get into another time.
Some songs are certainly spaced-out and driving, some have really nice acoustic guitar driving the songs, but you'd be hard pressed to not be able to compare it to all of the following things: Final Fantasy, The Fucking Champs, Frederik Mercier, Com Truise, Polka Music, Folk Music, Space Music, Krautrock, and IDM Music. Just check it out.
Anyways, this album was recorded by several German doods in 1979 and 1980. Eddy Mueller, Steve Jehring, Wolfgang Jarger, Klaus Meyer, and Dicky Hank on Track 4. They recorded 5 or 6 albums in the 1980s, this happens to by my favorite. Please to enjoy 'On The Move'.
