Music & Misc. 09.22.08

By gar it's been a while. In descending order, from sincere pants-wetting frenzy to genuine head-bobbing appreciation:

1: Fall fever (!. I’ve already got a head cold! Awesome…just as long as I can wear clothes I like again and see pretty colors.)


2:
IMPS Bring out the Imps CD (gearheads meet to actually make something beautiful and memorable; tape loops, jazz, beats…same old crap done right!)

3:
Andy Stott Unknown Exception CD (selected tracks from the past four years; a mix of tech house and what people call dubstep, the latter veers closer to pure dub reggae in feel than his contemporaries; all very deep with pristine engineering—so, so glad this was released)

4: Hot Guts tracks (these are yet-to-be-committed to vinyl, but I heard the recordings…and this is a good one people; “Bodies Your Water” is bootiful and not on their myspace page, so that should be a real treat)

5: Philip Sherburne Salt n Vinegar ep (on Lan Records; this absolves him of being associated with Pitchfork; Milk and Honey is one of my favorite songs from this past summer; he cuts through the whole minimal/maximal fray and produces some of the most musically sound techno of the past 10 years)

6: The newish Mogwai ep (they have returned to do their Slint/Indian Summer-on-steroids thing and I haven’t paid attention in a good while so it works beautifully for me)
