Here we go with another massive tune from the 90’s that blew my mind. This is from the first Aphex Twin EP, called Didgeridoo. I remember falling asleep on this record a couple of nights during my highschool times. Electronica was still a big mistery to me and this strange mix of ethnic sounds, jungle beats and synths didn’t help me at all trying to explain to my classmates what kind of music I listened to. I’d love to play it out sometimes. Sometimes.
Hey, Happy XMas everyone. Just moved out of Milan. I am in Lecce at my parents, relocating all my gear and record collection. The funniest side of this really boring process is finding old records and give em a listen after a lot of time. Lots of them suck, some others rock better than before. Jelly Tones from Ken Ishii is probably the first electronic record I’ve ever heard, it happened in 1998 but the record is actually from 1995. “Extra” is the opening track of this album and sounds to me as the most futuristic music ever even if it’s from 15 years ago.. and yes, probably I am posting this because I am still down with Japan so bad. I remember there was a misunderstanding about the cover of Jelly Tones -- I was obsessed with cartoon/comic Akira so when I saw the record sleeve I was SURE that it was going to be the Akira’s soundtrack. It’s not. It’s just another masterpiece coming from there. NOTE: This video is pretty much violent, hope you don’t care.
Here we go with some classics. I knew A Guy Called Gerald because of his massive acid hit Voodoo Ray. I randomly found the “Emotion Electric” 12″ in a second hand market in Bologna and never expected to like it so much. I thought it was just a b-side of something else.. It actually is an excerpt of his live (!) show at John Peel Sessions in 1989. Well, right now it’s winter time so I guess these warm pads and mellow melodies can heat up your house a lil more. Spacey ambient emo house?
