new bike

hey, i live in edinburgh, scotland now. good for long cycles!

Today's Fleamarket finds.

Today i basically swopped a load of old clothes and stuff for two nice new (to me!) records from the stall owner next to us.



First off is "PRISMS" by Michael Garrison, which i picked up because of the inclusion of the Syntar and the liner notes on the back, e.g -

'Special thanks to Pat "total energy" Welch for all photo work'

The music is moody, serious and thin-sounding, with very plastic drums. Very "New Age"-y. In a good way.



Next is "TRIP IN THE CENTER HEAD" by Space Art, from France. This has a great salmon pink, checquered back cover and a neat picture of an astronaut or anti-radiation guy, with a reflection of mountains and fruit trees in his visor.
The music is silly and colourful space pop.

So now that 20JazzFunkGreats has lifted the lid, we can now reveal our latest endeavour - Future Tent Remixes.

We asked our pals to reimagine this track, to celebrate the release of our first 7", on DodPop and these are the results.

Check out other excellent music from Genuine Guy, Sun Papa (aka Sun Ok Papi Ko, Baleine3000, mouche man etc.), Thunderous Mountain, The Niallist, oMMM, Splashwave, and Tangles. (Mouse over names for links!)

The downloads are free and fully bloggable, so please share them!

Everything's moving just now. Except when it's too hot; Everything is static and still when it's too hot.
Here's some library music to move to!

CEM Studios @WORM, Rotterdam

We just spent a week working on music at CEM Studios at Worm, Rotterdam. Its a small, high ceilinged, very hot room, crammed with vintage synthesizers. We had an awesome and productive time.

Big thanks to Sascha and Henk for setting us up with the residency and helping us out so much.



Music will surface from these sessions at some point in the near future. Until then, I'll leave you with a thought from Bastian.
