Absolutely!! This stuff need to be listened all around the globe, so make it available on some purchaseable formats please (if help needed to "push it out" faster....Martin & Brian you know how to reach me).Ross wrote: ↑Fri Jun 25, 2021 9:31 pm Needless to say the mix is full of answerphone messages...
In Solitude We Are Least Alone (Alt version from the NFT)
"Won't you leave a message for me?" Galaxial vocal
Alina Kalancea / Yage collaboration - dark, glitchy atmospherics
Crackly textures... water or fire? Really creepy voice sample "When the sun emerges from the darkness... your time will pass"
Melancholic synth pads with answerphone message, brief interlude
Synth arps, staggered beats, dark and very intense
Piano, downtempo beats, gorgeous track, nice respite from the last few
Narrator from EBS5
Dan Pemberton & FSOL - Long Green Field. Beautiful piece for piano & machines.
Abstract ambient environment, percussion, sounds
Downtempo, slightly dubby track, blippy synth arps
Reworking of Mountain Goat, some similar sounds to Folorn, which I'm now wondering might be a remix itself... wonder if this is a forthcoming RSD release
Bleepy / plinky plonky track like a lot of recent stuff
New SickOnes remix, slightly dnbish
Short ambient track... acoustic guitar and chanting
Old analogue rhythm machine, twinkly synth arpeggios, very '70s, early electronic krautrock in the Cluster vein
FSOL - Rituals Slow track, staggered beats, choir-like synths, violin outro, very chunky, reminds me of 'Cow'
Rainforest field recordings, squelchy analogue synths, wonderful atmosphere
Apertures - Missing Skies
Piano, strings from Max, guitar... might even be a Max remix? This is stunning
Acoustic drones, plinky synths, crunchy Chiastic Slide-era Autechre-style beats, beautiful
Strings, reversed sounds, layers of sound, lush ambience
A Tiny Point of Light
Dark track that starts off in distorted, murky instrumental hip-hop territory and suddenly goes all dnb. Layers of atmospherics in the background
A Tiny Point of Light again
Brief synth arp environment
Sinister snaky flute loop with completely mad glitched-up beats on top
Quiet, melancholic synth loops with answerphone messages
Field recording... not much happening
Well there we go, almost entirely unreleased stuff again. The mood was mostly more melodic and melancholic than the darker and more aggressive tone of recent releases, hints of 'Environmental' in the mood but generally more emotive, definitely a subtle development from the sound of the past couple of years. The ambience and melodies are lusher, and on the darker tracks the beats were much rawer. Really, really nice mix, I'm hoping we get a release of it or, if nothing else, someone recorded because I think it's probably the best of all the Touched mixes so far.
And of course The CD is now available
i was hoping someone recorded that! - thanks for the D/L - it'll be fun to relive all those moments of B&G ignoring their phone calls.sigESANg5 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 25, 2021 11:10 pm What a brilliant mix 2 that was ... here's my recording : https://we.tl/t-IgViBSpWwT — Enjoy!!!
