In the first recording I was in Cherokee park (an Olmsted park) and it wasn't nearly as intense as I expected. In that one I was parked on a hill and a bicycle zooms past. In the 2nd recording I was in an open area with isolated big trees and it was incredibly loud. My truck was on the side of the road with the microphone set on the toolbox. At some point a car drives past. It gives you a good idea of how loud it was. In a wave editor the pattern looks just like a pop song: http://www.psychicreform.com/Music/index.htm ____________________ www.psychicreform.com ____________________ "Be who you are... not what's cool." --Chef.

Pete Namlook recommendations?
by -<(::jason::)>- 07 Dec '04

07 Dec '04

So I am looking to expand my ambient horizons, and haven't really checked out too much Namlook / Fax stuff. But I am a little overwhelmed by the amount of releases! 84 albums!! Let me start by saying I'm not a huge fan of completely beatless drone music. But I know not all Namlook is like that, and I don't know where to start. I'd like some stuff with beats or textures of some sort (not just 80 minutes of spacey tones). I liked some of the S.H.A.D.O. Stuff, and some of the Fires Of Ork album, but that's about all I know. Any recommendations?? Thanks! :-) _jason_

off topic spiritualized & air
by John Wintemute 03 Oct '04

03 Oct '04

I'm not looking to sell this item, I'm just interested in info. Several years ago while visiting London I bought a copy of Spiritualized's "Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space" limited version where the CD is in foil tablet packaging like it is from a drug company along with RX instructions for taking/listening to CD. I have kept the foil sealed (never opened). Is this CD very rare at all? I saw Air last night at the Hollywood Bowl (today is my birthday so I was celebrating it early). The first act was Sondre Lerche who I am not really familiar with. According to the Bowl;s web site he is from Norway. He was o.k., kind of alternative folk I would say. Next Stereolab played. They put on a very good set. They were accompanied by part of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra on their last few songs. Air was fantastic. They were accompanied by the LA Phil's full orchestra for their entire set which blended very well with their music. Their set was pretty much a "Talkie Walkie" and "Moon Safari" compendium with some "Virgin Suicides" thrown in. They closed their set with a final encore of the track from "Lost in Translation". It was just an excellent night. It was about 82 degrees out and a beautiful sunset. The moon (either full or near full) was projected on the big screens at the end of the evening. I had box seats about 30 feet back from center stage and since the Bowl allows food and wine I brought a few bottles of Merlot with some different cheeses, olive oil, fresh bread and grapes (as if you wanted to know about that). I brought a friend with me and sharing our box was a very nice Asian girl and her mother both of whom were Air fanatics. John Wintemute

>BTW, the last track was either Talisman or La Femme D'Argent (I always >get them confused); the Lost in Translation track was earlier in the >encore. La Femme D'Argent (first track off of Moon Safari) is the usual encore and they've been known to take it out past the ten minute mark, definitely the highlight of the two times I've seen them this year. _________________________________________________________________ On the road to retirement?

>I brought a friend with >me and sharing our box was a very nice Asian girl and her mother both of >whom were Air fanatics. What would have been cool, afterwards you and your friend shared her box. Ha ha ha. No, on that subject. My livetronica.net forum has pointed out to me this band called Lotus with an album "Nomad" that seems to be of this same ilk. I wasn't much for any of the Lost in Translation soundtrack artists this year, although a good movie. I must say both Air and SP disappointed me greatly, more of the same ol' same ol' but speaking also of 3" discs.. that friggin Square Window single is f'ing amazing. I kept putting it on repeat when I passed out drunk Saturday. Also enjoying some Team Shadetek 'Burnerism'. If you haven't also heard their Radio Mix you are missing out. They mix stuff like Foreigner and Wu Tand and Kool Keith and feedback for a nice ride.

The Mad/Orb project i spoke of isn't the blue room mix - which IS the fire ;) as someone else said it's to be a full length album of remixes by each. i though i actually saw recently that MP and orb were doing a festy gig or something together?? anyhoo - i'm a little tight with MP so i'll send him an email and see what's going on with that!
