The Glimmer Room - The Wind Blows Summer from the Trees

In my head, Pande is pronounced 'pained', which always makes these things seem odd.

Thing is, The Soft.Bulletin, Yoshimi and At War With the Mystics seem really odd in context of their discography. Three polished poppy albums in the middle of a huge load of whacked out fuzzy psychedelia. My favourite is Transmissions from the Satellite Heart. Although to be honest I haven't listene...

Listened to the first disc on headphones, very impressed, strikes me as more like Untilted than Draft, but unlike Untilted (my least favourite Ae record) there's lots of lovely melodic stuff in there. Seems like they took that element of Oversteps and applied it to the rhythmic sounds of the previou...

So which are you, Brian or Gaz?

Congratulations man

She finds everything after Incunabula too cold and inhuman. Trouble is finding a two hour spot to give this a listen!

My copy of Exai arrived, sadly my girlfriend hates Autechre so now I need to find a chance to listen to it...

Ah, Wonderful Life is an incredible song.

Sigur Rós - Von

I'm happy to provide occasional moments of light (a la 'Max'). Can't bring myself to do much dark stuff these days!

His stuff has changed a lot over the years, there's a definite bluesy, gospelly vibe to his more recent material.


Np Terminal Radio 4

Ah, that's interesting. I suppose it was only a matter of time. Well, as said, it's probably not such a bother for us, most of our material is far enough below the radar to keep us from bother (other than my inclusion of Simple Minds, perhaps).

Ok, as the acid trip idea seems to have been the most popular, let's go with that. It moves away from the original concept a bit, but no problems there. Soooooo yeah, something pretty psychedelic/trippy, starting off mellow and going into craziness, perhaps a bit of a loss of control (I have the per...
