New mix for Fact featuring new releases from @NyegeNyegeFest @atkinsonfelicia @shelter_press @slikback @noallies @dfnbrown1 @James_Hoff_ and more + +

Out today on Black Truffle, a mindblowing early 90s archival release from Keiji Haino's NIJIUMU project. Operating at the opposite end of the dynamic spectrum to Haino’s famed power trio Fushitsusha, & dwelling in a hushed, meditative realm of mysterious droning sonorities & free-floating melodies bathed in reverb that occasionally erupts into violence. Also included is an ahead-of-its-time side long noise scorcher from 1973. Limited 2LP set + digital here: shorturl.at/bnIFI

beebz in his world of echo era, and i'm here for it

Chaka Khan on the drums.🥁

Many things aside, I’ve got to admit that Vincent Gallo album reviews on @discogs are easily VG+ / Near Mint

It's 2025... you can probably stop using spotify now.

@BenUFO wait 51% of...the *history of recorded music*....sounds like artificially intellegent slop? if this is where a more sensible conversation starts, then we stop making sense! ; ~)

a lot of the AI music discourse I see on here seems to start from the premise that 'AI generated slop = bad, human cultural production = good' i think a more sensible conversation about it needs to be able to account for the fact that the majority of music out there already sounds like algorithmically generated slop

@TheExtremeMusi1 Pink Reason @ 611 Florida, D.C. house show circa 2007 - solo set, he spent around 12-18 minutes tuning an acoustic guitar while chugging whiskey, plucking one string while turning a different tuning peg w blank confusion on his face that the sound wasn’t changing - 10/10

Who’s the most intoxicated musician you’ve ever seen perform live???

just a lil reminder

Also, wonder why there isn’t a plugin that emulates all versions in the history of auto tune - many variants last 30 years, would love this

James Hoff Shadows Lifted from Invisible Hands Out May 24 (LP/DL) on Shelter Press

Revisiting “The Fragile” today…hard to think of another masterpiece (and double platinum album) from this period that has production credits by such a diverse crew…Dr. Dre, Porter Ricks, Adrian Belew etc…kudos Trent

Massive collection of 30gbs+ (!) of noise / avant /diy cassettes from the 80s from NOISE ARCH... Cray scrolling thru these, but my OCD wouldnt let me go thru each 1 individually..so I downloaded ALL OF THEM n made a zip for my noise comrades... enjoy : rb.gy/jfk7qg

“Song of the Golden Lotus” (3 stacks Version) > discogs.com/release/557942…

@teachu2die @_SCVSCV @pcmus Lastly, just amazing to think of the dreams that were dreamt in the Cook household...Easy to imagine AG taking his father's (Sir Peter Cook) architectural drawings, converting them to midi & dropping into Ableton right? - looking forward to seeing what next generation will do

@teachu2die @_SCVSCV @pcmus take the supplement of your choice, go on a bike ride, and listen to ag's 2020 album "apple" - top shelf surgical psychedlia right there

I have my opinions about the later years but I do think PC Music is the most influential label of the last 10 years. They did this by basically updating the concept of the player piano & just making sure the music sounded good— a “breakthrough” that will matter forever in our age

@djmackeeper @_SCVSCV @pcmus Here Ag Cook goes says "98%" of his music is ripped off the great 20th century american composer Colon Nancarrow, him being modest ofc / not true, but would highly rec checking out "Study for Player Piano No.41a" *(1980ish) for context of this quote - youtu.be/XzpMZUBaavU?t=…

@_SCVSCV @pcmus : ) <3 Pc tho, their architecturally divine, vacuum-sealed Candy Crush vision of sound is an apt reflection of our spotifyd reality

@britton_powell @pcmus Hah good point wasn’t really thinking that big
