Y'all owe it to yourself to play Gatekeeper's EXO through. The album is so-so on its own, but pairs perfectly with the game/VR world. "Pineal activation, IMAX phantasy, drippy acid ecosystems, and HD everything".

I was actually disappointed by EXO, I think if Tabor had ever played system shock 2 he wouldn't have bothered. That game already has pineal activiation set to thumping acid house.

I didn't know that I was 'reeling' for noting I didn't get mine either, or that people other than me didn't get the music from him that they paid for and that it was apparently a big Thing "hashed out everywhere". Some of us just listen to music.

The best revenge on James Ferraro for stealing your money is to pirate his music, change the pitch or tempo, then upload it or torrent it without changing any of the track names.

I don't think there could be a better time for us to take a trip to the HIP HOP SPA

quote:

Hip Hop Spa posits an uncanny parallel between the luxurious solitary confinement of a spa experience and the introspective image of prison solitary confinement often presented in contemporary, genre specific, Hip Hop cultural product. Solitary subconscious is the experience of virtual age Hip Hop culture. The track expands the lexicon of the genre, while questioning the general public’s consumption of rap and hip hop aesthetics.

I can't stop laughing at the cold mixtape website, the idea that James Ferraro is doing a MIXTAPE COUNTDOWN after years of tossing off releases on mediafire is just absurd.

Triad God represents his musical output of the last year. Building on from his first Ep ‘Aym Gs for Lyfe’ which translates as my

You could probably link BoC to most of the artists mentioned in this thread so far, but I think they were exploring quite different territory in some ways. BoC's music conjures up the mixture of confusion, horror, and nostalgia of hazy childhood memories, whereas Far Side Virtual and Sushi have a glossy, luxurious sheen that paints a "still-life" of the present rather than focusing on any real or imagined nostalgia-tinted past.

I agree that they do in concept but the use of early 90s computer sounds all over FSV definitely inspires nostalgia and there's too much cheese in "Sushi" to really reflect the hyper seriousness of modern pop music. I think the BebeTune$ project is much more about the present than Sushi, and 'serious' titles like INHALE C-4 reflect that. And anyway, Ferraro's other work is absolutely pointed at that weird intersection between watching science films in elementary school and accidentally glimpsing 30 minutes of a late night horror movie as a six year old...which is very Boards.

edit: I also did not know until today that BOC possibly have many more albums that are floating around as cassette releases or under aliases. How familiar!

Lord Krangdar posted:

Reminds me of an interesting quote, I forget where I read it so I'll have to paraphrase, saying that many musicians now compose by stringing together signifiers rather than notes. That applies to a lot of the artists in this thread.

Surely this is nothing new? I would say that early 1900s folk singers composed more with "signifiers" than modern musicians do. They certainly didn't care much about notes.

oiseaux morts 1994, are you aware of any location in which the Smackos albums you posted can be downloaded? He took his store down and I'm not sure if the music was distributed for free anyway because nowhere sells it.

Not a illegal files request I'm happy to pay for the album if there's anywhere it can be bought, but I don't want to give money to some random bandcamp just for mp3s.

Arpanet makes transhumaist paranoia techno.



Here is how they described their 2002 album Wireless Internet

quote:

“We are atomic and sub-atomic particles and we are wireless.”

ARPANET is the new project to come out of the DATAPHYSIX laboratory in Detroit (USA).
It is a poetic and prophetic Kraftwerk type concept-album devoted to the revolutionary technologies of Japan’s leading telecommunication company NTT DoCoMo, which will soon change our day-to-day lives. After a great success in Japan (30 million users), NTT DoCoMo are about to release their new I-mode cellular phones worldwide. These are permanently connected to the internet.
The thesis developed by ARPANET is that, in a very near future, cellular phone users will have in their hand a remote control for their life.

ARPANET was produced at the DATAPHYSIX headquarters, where the acclaimed and cult combo DOPPLEREFFEKT project was recorded.
DOPPLEREFFEKT were one of the strangest and most mysterious units of the contemporary electronic music scene.
They had developed their very own and highly influential sound aesthetic, without which the current electro-hype probably wouldn’t sound as it does.

All the information in the business press confirms that the technology praised by ARPANET will conquer the western world in 2002, where NTT DoCoMo have signed agreements with several mobile phone companies.

Japan is wireless, we are wireless.
What about you? ARE YOU WIRELESS

I do find the ARPANET project a bit clumsy and heavy handed, and some of the music on the Wireless Internet is a bit poo poo. But considering we're talking 2002, its vision is way ahead of its time.

I like Wireless Internet more than Far Side Virtual musically (except for maybe Dubai Dream Tone). At least it isn't Exo...kinda hard to take more than one or two tracks divorced from the visuals.

edit: Here is my favorite Exo track

I like Tiny Mix Tapes, but I know some people are put off by their often hyperbolic and self indulgent leanings so your mileage may vary (for example, last year they gave a glowing review and highest recommendation to the debut album by reality TV's "Teen Mom" Farrah Abraham). They do regularly cover the vast majority of musicians listed in this thread.

That album is so much better than the Grimes/Purity Ring stuff, wow.

Can you guys explain what you have against him? He helps to turn people on to some good music IMO.

He's a huge dork that loves the sound of his own voice. I can't believe he's caught on because he sounds exactly like the super irritating guy at the party, but danny brown likes him??

Right, so I have Simulacra (translated ed.) sat in front of me right now, Fredric Jameson on order at my library and some JG Ballard coming soon in the post. Any other recommended intake you guys would recommend to get me up to conceptual snuff? I mean in any medium. Between the internet and my uni library, I have a lot at arms reach right now. Better now than never - especially whilst I have an interest.

E: The Simulacra is so densely worded. I am enjoying it a lot though - everything I have read so far fits with how I think. It sounds ridiculous, but I think I accidentally came to understanding the core concepts of postmodernism before even knowing what it is. What does it say about me? Get some loving sleep, you weirdo, probably.

I highly recommend you start with Baudrillard by reading his entry in the online Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. Not a joke.
