One More Cliff Martinez Note
Posted on | October 8, 2008 | Comments Off
I overlooked a great place to grab Cliff Martinez music the other day when I linked to a few of his soundtracks at Amazon. There’s a good amount of freely available tracks at his official site. Have at it!

New Fennesz Track “Saffron Revolution” at Pitchfork
Posted on | October 3, 2008 | Comments Off
In other news, stuff like this is why I don’t write about music, I just point to it:
Beginning with some of Fennesz’ trademark neo-industrial gurgles, it folds in bits of guitar and strings rather beautifully, creating a cluster of sound that trembles, seeming to wait for something. And that something moves in gradually in the form of a massive cloud of distortion, a fine white mist of harmonics mixed with a dark undercurrent of rumbling bass. The tension between these elements is so well balanced, each individual element remaining in the mix even as the sound field becomes impossibly dense, that it’s no surprise that it takes a while to get it just right.
Yow.

Land, Nunc Stans

Free download of Land from Nunc Stans on the ping things label. Long spacey drones, a bit synthy for my taste, but it’s free, so decide for yourself.
Via the excellent hiddenplace music.

A free mp3 download from the always great Matthew Cooper is available via Pitchfork. A stream of the track is also available. A vinyl release is scheduled for sometime this month.
It’s a bit synthy, but definitely what you’d expect from Cooper. Quality stuff.
