My first post is a short one, however here is what I have been listening to this week, in no particular order:
1) Autechre – Oversteps (Warp)
IDM overlords new record, made as usual with generative patches and edited together post facto. Superb.
2) James Blake – The Bells Sketch EP (Hessle Audio)
Precocious producer from Leeds. The title track to this EP is chopped & screwed melancholy Dubstep with an early 90′s G-funk Moog line (a la Death Row Records). If you like it, download Rob Booth’s ‘Electronic Explorations’ podcasts, as he is always getting new material from James.
Listen to James Blake – The Bell Sketch
3) John Wiese – Circle Snare (No Fun)
I’m late on this one, but went to see him play with Lasse Marhaug in Oakland and was taken aback by how good his rhythmic/ spatialised work is.
Listen toJohn Wiese – Circle Snare
4) Portal – Swarth (Profound Lore)
Surrealist Australian technical death metal anyone?
5) Imants Kalniņš “Dūdieviņš”
Haunting Latvian psych-pop from the sixties.
Currently reading:
Peter Sloterdijk – Terror From the Air

Welcome to JGM Mat …. As I suspected – the musical coverage of your posts will certainly broaden my knowledge … Of course the other contributors do as well – it’s just that they do at least utilize the same language. Shoot I don’t even know how to key in an umlaut or accent !!
Good post – now – must find time to listen.
