What are you listening to at the moment?

The whole trip hop buzz of the late 90s early 00s got a bit boring and seemed to drift off into the realms of hotel lobbies etc. I had the pleasure though of hearing this one again today in a cafe and it made me consider digging back into the genre again, if even for a couple of days only... lovely funky number this, proper foot tappin/head noddin' material.

Deadbeats - Funky for You

Just read that Benjamin Curtis from School of Seven Bells died on Sunday. RIP.

Sad news indeed. I really enjoyed the three albums he made with School of Seven Bells.

I've only got 'Alpinism' - picked up 'Ghostory' in Tower a few times but it's always gone back in favour of something else.

This album seems to have slipped by unnoticed by many in 2013, I haven't seen it on any end of year lists, no reviews really anywhere... only picked it up myself over Christmas, gotta say it's one of the best electronic albums from 2013 for sure - there's Autechre, Drexciya, Aphex Twin, BoC even in there but still a relatively unique sounding 2xCD album. Love it.

D'arcangelo - Ascensional Melody

Picked up the Harold Budd 'Budd Box' today - amazing collection of 7 of his harder to find albums... includes the amazing 'Abandoned Cities' which I'm enjoying right now!
