no. I'm in Europe. found him via TYPE label, who released his Merciless LP which I really like and I have it on vax. he also has a plenty of split releases with other musicians like Daniel Menche, 16 Bitch Pile Up, Aaron Dilloway, Pete Swanson... his name pop out on peoples mixtapes from time to time, I heard his stuff on WFMU too, also I have found some of his field recordings on the internet. he is not that unknown. btw, I think he is a big SY fan too

. yeah, haven't seen him live. and in planetarium setting? nice.

oh, I see, I'll be checking cosi's domelab.

cheers.

1; long delay (capable of near infinite feedback looping)

3; huge plate reverb
4; shimmering reverb
5; distortion and multi-filter
6; pitch delay
7; stutter glitch
Alter 2 has the following effects:
1; analog delay
2; reverb with infinite capture and lp + hp filters
3; choral reverb
4; palindrome reverse delay - backward/forward repeat
5; time stretch
6; pitch shift (notated semi-tones
7; time stretch glitch

nice. pricey as fuck..

but man, that nano garden...half cheaper...

the resonating garden is I believe 3 separate effect units (3x Folktek Alter) + 3x pickup microphones that feed the effect units.
I'd instantly buy it, but I'm worried about import tax and customs - I heard that it's a nightmare with shipping larger units from US to our homeland.
We'll talk more when we meet for beers on Thursday.

Prurient live was also great to see.

Sarah Davachi too (glad that after missing to make a recording of her gig in Vienna I managed to record her gig in Utrecht, which turned out to be a brilliant recording too. yeah 2 times for me this year. she is from Canada, so it was lovely to see her traveling Europe so intensively last year).

Thurston Moore live with the band + impro after long-ish time...da best.

Pissed Jeans + Protomartyr - so refreshing to hear and see a propper punk/rock show after long-ish time.

not as many gigs last year as I would wish, but it could be worst. few more memorable gigs from the top of my head right now. My Cat Is An Alien, Andrea Belfi, Wolf Eyes, Lawrence English, Okkyung Lee, Kara Lis Coverdale, Lee Ranaldo, have to mention _slavo_´s Casi Cada Minuto, he is always good live, oh yeah I really enjoyed The Ex live surprisingly, Sun Kil Moon...

then there were gigs where I was not sure what to think of them + pretentious + at times cool at times horrid. + funny, like f. e. Ben Frost, Shabazz Palaces, Princess Nokia, Visible Cloaks and few more...

pissed off I have missed GAS live (clashed with Thurston Moore / Hans Bennik) and maybe William Basinsky too (still haven´t heard his last album).

prurient, the ex and thurston were great! sorry i missed Sarah Davachi.

that Prurient new release is something else. almost 3 and half hours of doom electronics in collab. with Matt Folden of Dual Action and Jim Mroz of Lussuria mixed by guy from Shifted. it is not easily digestable though.

just seen Big Brave are returning to Europe for Roadburn fest and they should be touring 3 weeks intensively after the fest. it would be nice to catch them.

Folktek is a pretty well-known brand if you're into this sort of thing. I've had my eyes on their stuff for several years but this is the first time that I'm actually considering purchasing something from them.
If there wasn't this terrible thing with import tax and customs fee for shipping from US from Slovakia, I'd buy it instantly.
But I don't want to end up paying 200-300 EUR more than the initial price, innit.

that sucks alright. besides RG is pricey enough on its own. no exclusive dealer in EU for the similar price i suppose, once you have yr. eyes on it, huh?

It’s a pleasant surprise to see Alice Coltrane and Ornette Coleman on Moshe and the Rolling Stone list, yet neither is on the others list??? I haven’t heard either one, but I hope to pick each up in the near future.

yeah, Moshe was praising this album, haven't had a chance to hear it.

did he catch to see Ecstatic Music of Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda performed by the Sai Anantam Ashram Singers I wonder, since I can not see it on his live list?

Yeah, right at the end there. Songs of Experience. Haven’t heard it but got it for my stepfather for Christmas. Probably terrible beyond measure.

What the hell man? I don’t want to read a G-D AllMusic review just to mine my Lebowski mind caves. I didn’t even realize AllMusic was still a thing.

Just tell us what the reference is, yo!

Severian · 01.06.2018, 08:37 PM

It’s really funny that major institutions have such different opinions on this thing. Rolling Stone called it “brilliant.”

FUCK Rolling Stone. I know — "Oh, that's original, you're only the fiftieth million person to say that" — but look at that damn list: it includes a bunch of albums from the Magnet and The Wire spheres (oooh, RS is hip now!) only to pack the top 10 with Sam Smith, QOTS, Taylor fucking Swift, U2, Lorde and the flavor of the day, Kendrick Lamar. Wenner, just GO already.

Kendrick Lamar is legitimately responsible for the best album of the year, and he’s been the “flavor of the day” since 2012 (or earlier, in mixtape communities), so... flavor of the half-decade? Don’t fucking insult yourself by insinuating that he’s not one of the best things in music right now.

But I agree with a lot of what you’re saying. Those other albums do suck. Lorde isn’t bad though.

I did. It was ok. It was more gospel than avantgarde...
