Track of the day

Scubadevils · 12-08-2009 10:33pm #1

Like the 'Song of the Day' thread in the general music section of boards, I thought it would be good to get one going here too in experimental. Everyone can post one track per day that has meant something to them that day for whatever reason.

Today for me its 'Epilion' by Musicology (B12). Just listening again now and it really is a spectacular piece of electronica... absolutely love the intro and build into the track.

yep, that's pretty cool music for a Thursday morning, I can go for some more of that for sure.

At my end, today's early morning music of choice in advance of getting into the day's rehearsals was:

sort of sets the scene on a sunny morning for a productive day slaving over a hot laptop

I have hated and loved that Orb album since I first bought it - at first I liked it, then I thought the vocals were a bit much but the last few tracks were real gems and back to Orb of old.. now I love the whole album and have got over the lyrics issue!

My track for today is from As One (Kirk Degiorgio) called Asa Nisi Masa (Scanner Remix). Not what you would expect either from As One or Scanner really except for some typical spoken word type samples here and there... otherwise very dramatic, cinematic and modern classical sounding... stunning from start to finish.

Back to this Wisp album again over the last few days and the last track is really something special...

Stumbled across this album on discogs a while back - just listening again this evening and some really great tunes.

Phenomyna - The Exiles

Love the synth line floating around in this one.

Scubadevils · 17-08-2009 4:42pm

Love Phenomyna and everything he does under his other names.

Today for me is this great track from Two Lone Swordsmen, taken from the amazing album 'Swimming Not Skimming' -

This gem among all the other gems on the wonderful 'Tales From The Igloo' by Mick Chillage. Had this on in the car this evening and drifted away (but kept my eyes on the road too :pac: )

Scubadevils · 21-08-2009 10:37pm

An amazing piece of music by µ-Ziq called 'Sick Porter'.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Oibe1OMFe0

Scubadevils · 25-08-2009 10:41pm

Another of the early tracks that got me into electronica, this from David Holmes under the alias 'Scubadevils', track called 'Celestial Symphony'. Still an absolute favourite to this day....

Huge memories of parties in a sound proof band practice room in Dublin back in 1994 once the clubs had closed, several amps, a CD player and a selection of discs to include this one - none of us had decks at that stage so we had to improvise! Worked well, great sessions!

Very nice Terry, thats another I must get that I read about on Boomkat. Going by that track I need the album! Cheers.

Scubadevils · 28-08-2009 8:15pm

Another older gem this time from Insync vs Mysteron - the track is called 'Science Fact' and is a lovely bit of ambient techno from a highly underrated album called 'Android Architect'

I love this tune from Autechre's album Amber. One of their better albums I think and one of their best songs.

Two masters of their art collaborate here to bring you on a 10 minute trip! This really grabs hold for the duration, brilliant stuff... as expected from Schulze and Namlook.

A spectacular track from The Higher Intelligence Agency - 'Pinkgreen'. Very typical of early to mid 90's IDM or ambient techno if you prefer :pac:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVi8VnuHjRI

From the amazing album, 'Freefloater'

Scubadevils · 14-09-2009 9:49am

A pretty unknown album from the Ferox label called 'Play & Pray' by Idiot Savant. Jazz infused electronica very much like later work from Kirk Degiorgio/As One... a really great album, highly recommended.

Idiot Savant - Funk In Silhouette

ah sure here's another one
emeralds
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEE8LzzLPDo
things are getting too ambient around here!

ps how do you expand the video like you guys do?

John · 17-09-2009 11:48pm

I LOVE Emeralds but I don't like seeing them on video like that. Each of their releases is so mysterious and lacking in detail that my mental image of the band is completely at odds with the guys in the video. None of them are old Germans!

To embed a YouTube video, put the end bit of the youtube link (the bit after "v=") in between youtube tags. Quote this post to see what I mean.

It's easier said than done. They release a lot of CD-Rs and cassettes via obscure labels which invariably go out of print very quickly. There are a few split LPs and LPs available around the place if you have a google (a good starting point is their discogs page) and they have two brilliant albums on CD that should be easy enough to find:
Solar Bridge (Hanson Records)
What Happened (No Fun Records)

Good luck with the hunt!

crikey, once I started listening I was hoping it would last for an hour. Very nice.
