Postcool Resonance

Friday, April 15, 2011

It’s not too hard to accept the fact I have to take advice from younger brothers, art school student friends or interns in order to find out about new music.

ECM CLASSICS #01: TABULA RASA

Monday, April 4, 2011

In tune with our current issue on Manfred Eicher and ECM Records, we should really be talking about music a little more. It’s always worth revisiting – or looking into, in case you haven’t yet, you lucky thing – ECM’s astounding back catalogue with more than 1000 albums to date, many of which are simply [...]

Listening to iTunes

iTunes interpreted as audio data by Vuvuzela

Random Davis, digital native from Portland, began listening to windows programs (.exe). Finally something to do with it, mac followers might argue. However obscure, the compression patterns seem to create some rhythm. Check out the charts.
Remember when we would play commodore’s datassetten on the stereo? Now, the next [...]

KRAUTROCK REINVENTED

Monday, March 14, 2011

We’ve always enjoyed Berlin’s experimental super group Groupshow – consisting of Jan Jelinek, Andrew Pekler and Hanno Leichtmann – with their semi-improvised organic sets. Here’s another return to the stage, this time featuring Damo Suzuki, the enigmatic vocalist of Krautrock pioneers Can. Sounds good to us.
