DJ Brokenwindow - Parallel Universe #1

So Prince is claiming he doesn't plan on issuing another album, eh? Why don't I buy a word of that? It's rather funny actually, as everyone knows he's a rather compulsive studio guy. Reminds me of something Z-Trip once said about mash-ups, claiming that the only way people should make them is by cutting records live. Uh, why should I take your word? Who made you an expert? Well, Z-Trip is an expert when it comes to live mash-ups but seriously, who is he to make the rules? You're supposed to make music because you enjoy it, and Prince has been doing that forever, although we'll probably never hear all of it. Making rules that override everything ruins the fun part of music, the experiments and the mistakes. Mash-ups took on a new popularity because of homegrown producers that wanted to put their favorite songs together for whatever reason they thought it was a good idea. That's how it works, and that's also why I'm so glad there are people like David Chandler, aka DJ Brokenwindow, out there to entertain and make you think about what you could be doing with your music.

Chandler is probably best known as Solenoid or for his label, Community Library, of which you can read more about here, but around the turn of this century he released two records as DJ Brokenwindow on kid606's Violent Turd label. Both records are collections of vinyl mash-ups Chandler made by taking records and syncing them with each other. That probably sounds rather pedestrian at first, but we're talking about actual records, manually syncing them together, and doing so (almost) entirely without digital editing tools. On top of that, he even provides basic instructions on how to sync the records he used so you could do it yourself. And as if all of those things weren't cool enough, the mash-ups are actually rather good and the whole affair is intensely entertaining!

Below you'll find the first volume of Parallel Universe for your aural enjoyment. I'll post the second volume on Saturday. For now though, get this and play it while you're doing whatever it is you're doing, be it housework, exercise, playing with your kids (be careful about some of these tracks if that's the case), whatever, but be prepared to find a new, bizarre and, above all, intensely entertaining soundtrack to whatever you're doing. Seriously, I don't want to give away any of the wonders you'll find within this album, you should explore it and find the amazement within, although I will say the Krautrock track mixed with "C" Is For Cookie should give you a clue what to expect!

Prurient - "A Meal Can Be Made"

Here's the brand new single from Cold Cave keyboardist Dominick Fernow. Prurient is more experimental, noisy and for me it sounds more industrial than anything else. Still the song is damn good and is unlike anything I've heard so far.

Чисто нов сингъл от кийбордиста на Cold Cave Dominick Fernow. Prurient е по-експериментален, шумен и поне на мен ми звучи доста по-индъстриъл. Все пак песента е доста добра и много различна от всичко, което съм чувал досега.

Phoenecia - DEMISSIONS

This tuesday, Rom and Josh are back with a new album, the wonderful DEMISSIONS, which they will be making available digitally via BandCamp. There will also be a limited physical release of the album on July 14th that people should look into. Like all Phoenecia releases, this one sounds nothing like anything before it. It unfolds beautifully like you're entering an alien world which should give you plenty to freak out about! Check out the SoundCloud player below for the full album. Seriously, the album is wonderful and you should check it out immediately, and remember to support the group if you like what you hear!

Ulver - "England"

Here's something interesting I stumbled upon. A norwegian black metal band turned experimental/electronic. The band's Ulver and they just released a brand new song, "England" from their eight studio album Wars Of the Roses. Really dark and melancholy song but I like it.

Ето нещо интересно на което се натъкнах по случайност. Норвежка блек-метъл група, която драстично променя стила си на експериментално-електронен. Бандата се казва Ulver и първите им три албума са действително блек-метъл и съставляват цяла трилогия, но след това групата решава, че призванието им не е да правят скандинавски блек-метъл, повлиян от местният фолклор, а по-скоро да експериментират с нови и различни музикални стилове, в търсене на истинския си музикален облик. Така от 1998г. досега групата постоянно променя своя звук в рамките на пет албума. Характерно за новия албум Wars Of the Roses от който е и песента "England" е, че е доста мрачен и меланхоличен и по скандинавски странен. Но това в никакъв случай не го прави по-малко интересен.

Jesu - Ascension

Jesu's fourth studio album's been out for a month now. I've been listening to Ascension for some time now and I have to say that it's different from what I expected to hear. It still got this melange of electronica and shoegaze, the long and repeatable tone clusters and the lengthy epicness of a good ambient album, but it's somehow different. Jesu's distinctive electronic sound has taken a back seat and in the forefront is music that makes use of more guitars and drumming that of electronic elements. Other thing I noticed is that the overall tone of the album is rather gloomy for the exception of probably "Sedatives" which is kinda upbeat compared to the rest. Don't get me wrong. The album is good but it takes time to get used to it. Probably you won't fall for it from first listen. Still check it out.

Fredrik - "Rites of Spring"

Well finally the weather is getting warmer (at least in Bulgaria). For weeks we had a very weird spring with some warm days immediately followed by very cold ones with temperatures close to winter's. Add to that constant rainshowers and you'll get an impression how shitty the weather was here. Hopefully this is going to change. Anyways not about the local weather I want to talk about today but for one very interesting swedish experimental-folk three-piece band and their latest single which I think is perfect for the days to come. The band's Fredrik from Malmö, Sweden and the song's called "Rites of Spring" off their third studio effort Flora already out via The Kora Records. The whole album is streamed online and can be heard on youtube here. Their music is the best soundtrack that can accompany one such moody Spring like ours here, dark and mysterious, warm and lively, where chaos is beautiful and life is surreal. Really beautiful music to listen to when not being among nature.

Dewey Redman - The Ear Of The Behearer / Unissued '69 Session

It was probably the summer of 96 that I first started wondering about free jazz. I was working a dead-end job and found myself at a nearby used record store on a regular basis, picking up cassettes cheap and enjoying myself. Somehow I found myself listening to Phish, a fact I'm not proud to recall these days, though their earlier albums were so much more about musicality than vibes and I was understandably taken away. I hadn't really understood the joy of making music for the purpose of making music prior to that and listening to the Junta album woke me up, what with the fact there were songs and there was form but there was also plenty of room for whatever they wanted to do, regardless of need, want or assumed rules of music. It was really incredible to lose myself in that world, though I always had a way of doing things backwards and, upon reading about Surrender To The Air, Trey Anastasio's free-jazz supergroup featuring members of Sun Ra's Arkestra and other luminaries of the improvised music scene, I found a CD of it for five dollars or less and decided to take the plunge. Initially I was thoroughly confused by it, not being able to make heads or tails of what was occurring, but after a few listens a logic of sorts seemed to become apparent and I enjoyed it more, though it never got beyond that as I simply had no want to listen to it. In retrospect, I don't think it was very good, but I haven't listened to it in years so my recollection is understandably skewed. Nonetheless, that experience opened some doors for me and I began listening to Zappa and Miles shortly thereafter, eventually exploring Coltrane, Monk and all kinds of other jazz geniuses while looking for my musical island to rest upon.

My thinking there was a musical landscape that would satisfy me was foolish, but at that age I suppose it was only right of me to assume it, and if I hadn't kept on looking I would never have discovered that it's better to be rootless than to stay in one place musically for an eternity. So that musical island, or whatever I imagined it was, is now forgotten and I suppose I'm like a rudderless ship, following wherever the oceanic muse takes me, and while I can find my way to points of familiarity and sometimes take extended stays there, when the spirit moves me I can flow with it.

Forgive the above cheese, but that's the only way I could think to preface this. A year or two ago I was on a business trip and stopped into a record shop that I always enjoyed visiting when in that area. They carried a large selection of new and used vinyl, much of it being rather obscure, as well as an excellent selection of difficult to obtain CDs and used merchandise. When I entered they were playing a Donna Summer record, and I do mean a record. It was a title I hadn't heard before, and it escapes me at the moment, but I was impressed enough to ask how much they wanted for it. At a few dollars I couldn't pass it up, so I grabbed it and some interesting CDs, paid for everything and waited for the record to end. While they took it off the turntable, someone cued up some mind-obliteratingly intense free-jazz. My head swiveled and I realized, in extreme disappointment, that whatever I had just purchased held no candle to this noise coming from the speakers. I asked what it was and they showed me the sleeve for Dewey Redman's The Ear Of The Behearer. I didn't have any more cash and an exchange was out of the question, but I asked what the price was anyway. It wasn't all that expensive at twenty dollars but the jig was up, I didn't have any more money to blow, so I stood in the store for another five minutes, listening, until I knew I had to leave and decided I'd find a copy when I made it home. That wasn't as easy as I thought it would be though.

I checked local record shops but no one had a copy on CD or vinyl. The CD was out of print. It wasn't available digitally at that time. I checked in the usual places and couldn't find a rip of it. Eventually a kind soul provided me with a rip of the 98 CD reissue, but it would merely tide me over until I improved upon it's status. Eventually I found a lossless rip of 98 CD reissue but I couldn't find the vinyl for the life of me, so I bought the official MP3s and burnt that lossless rip to a CD for home use. My girlfriend hated me instantly. Dewey plugged into that zone, somewhere between utter chaos and beautifully off kilter melodicism, that instantly grabbed me and took me for a ride. It wasn't the type of thing I could listen to constantly, but his chaos could ground me when necessary. It's music to think to, allowing my mind to focus on whatever should be in front of me while also venturing off into the music or anything else that should come my way. Nothing about it needs to be spelled out, I can ponder their inspiration or I can just follow along, and it just keeps branching out wherever it chooses to, always showing something new. PS is so mournful yet utterly confused, like the soundtrack to some kind of nightmare that started off terrifying yet became more fascinating to explore than run from. Walls-Bridges is like a call to alarm but you have no idea what you're running from, blurring along the way into schizophrenia. The beautiful Boody starts off like a fighters theme before delving into a fully formed, drunken blues groove. Image begins with bagpipes into battle with bass lines, like some kind of understated warfare. The whole thing could be people beating the shit out of each other or just kids playing at the park. It's beautiful.

I'll openly admit that I haven't explored Redman's discography in much depth since finding The Ear Of The Behearer, though I haven't found much need to yet. I'm sure I'll eventually dig in, but I'm still held captive by the insanity and freedom surrounding these recordings. I did listen to an unreleased set of recordings from 1969 though, including early versions of Interconnection and PS, that was fantasticly energetic, retaining the loose structure while featuring more melody and rhythm. All in all, incredible stuff.

I'm including The Ear Of The Behearer and the Unissued '69 Session for download here, but if you enjoy Behearer I implore you to purchase it digitally at Amazon or any other digital retailer that carries it. Besides, the version of the album I'm posting is the original seven track version, and the version available for digital purchase includes four bonus tracks from that era. As for the '69 Session, if there is enough interest I'll post it in lossless format, but for now I'm putting up V0 MP3s of both. If you enjoy free, formless, shape changing music, you'll love these recordings. Enjoy.

MC Paul Barman - It's Very Stimulating / How Hard Is That?

Continuing with the slept-on theme and another guy with Prince in his name that doesn't happen to be from Minneapolis or have changed his name to a symbol, I present to you MC Paul Barman's It's Very Stimulating EP and it's follow-up, the How Hard Is That? single.

Barman is a truly fascinating guy but I can't help being annoyed by him most of the time. His debut release, the Postgraduate Work single, was a very homemade attempt at a, uh, thought-provoking, "scientific" hip-hop record? It's not easy to describe, what with Paul rapping about MC Fibonacci Sequence and other less than generally accepted topics of discussion, although that's kind of the point since it's so far out of left-field that you don't really know what to do with it.

Prince Paul, having heard the Postgraduate Work single, pursued Barman to create a "real" hip-hop record with him. When I say "real", I mean one with some production values, Barman's performance improved and the ideas somewhat refined. Their collaboration was the wonderful It's Very Stimulating EP which was released on WordSound in 2000. It found Paul rhyming about humping sheep, his want to meet a woman who will let him try anal sex, a whole lot of sex rhymes about not getting any and more that simply shouldn't be printed. It would be boring if not for Paul's overly wordy presentation being hilarious and his humor consistently self-depriciating.

It looked like MC Paul Barman might have had one hell of a career as a truly underground, independent rapper, an impression he furthered with the release of his next single, How Hard Is That?, on Matador and also in 2000. Paul stepped it up with a parody/tribute to the Notorious B.I.G. and Ol' Dirty Bastard on the single's namesake, parodying the overly important attitude of a lot of the then-current hip-hop scene, only to flip everything on the b-side with Housemate Troubles, a quick-witted attack on a selfish slug of a roommate overtop a beat one would have mistaken for Prince Paul's if not for it having been confirmed as being produced by yet another guy named Prince, Prince Be of PM Dawn. Yeah, didn't see that coming, did ya? To be honest, me neither, and since there was nothing proving this information available for quite a while, with the credits listing the producer as All Those Mutha Fuckin' Reasons, one could be forgiven for believing such an illogical claim.

All of Paul's lead-in dissipated with two years between these releases until his full-length debut, Paullelujah!, finally surfaced. I was psyched for it's release and immediately impressed, but it's wonder quickly dried up with the realization that Paul was clearly trying a little harder than necessary to show his skills and abilities. Ill-advised attempts at folk music and hippie-esque throwbacks killed Paullelujah!'s flow and attempts at political posturing left me cold. Why does every entertainer think their opinion on the world's affairs is important enough to be heard by anyone other than themselves or those in their inner circle? Paul's anti-Bush rap didn't make the album's original cut, instead appearing as a b-side and on select compilations, though it did make the reissue, dulling things further.

Barman is still around, writing and performing and occasionally releasing tracks, but the interest simply isn't there for me any longer. The most interesting thing I heard from him in more recent times was his RZAview, his interview with the RZA turned into a rap performed entirely by himself, although it would have been far more interesting if the RZA had actually performed his own portion of the track. Barman is the type of guy that is clearly gifted but his talent needs to be presented in small doses, making it easy to understand why It's Very Stimulating leaves someone wanting more as opposed to his later releases. I've got to give him a lot of credit though, it's not like there is anything ordinary about his flow and it already takes a lot to get on stage and perform, so to perform as one of the most unlikely hip-hop artists and want to be taken seriously takes some real guts. Props to MC Paul Barman. Also, props to Skiz at WordSound as he said I could post anything from his label's discography and for just being an all around cool guy. And if you can find a copy of the It's Very Stimulating EP you should grab it in a heartbeat! Barman's self-made artwork and liner notes are wonderfully corny and entertaining! Enjoy!

Aphex Twin - unreleased tape from 1993

Back in the early nineties, when Richard D. James lived with a number of other people, someone found a DAT of some work in progress tracks and made a quick dupe of it while Richard was passed out. Supposedly this was to impress a girl who remained unimpressed. Somewhere along the way the tape was shared to select folks who tried to share the wealth but were asked by Richard and Rephlex not to do so. Those wishes were respected until someone recently leaked the tape in FLAC on the XLtronic message boards sparking all kinds of insanity. I learned more about this tape over at We Are The Music Makers from posts by Joyrex and Hijexx, two folks who have copies but deny leaking the lossless version, and it appears the contents of the tape date back to around 1993 with some of the tracks being played during live Aphex Twin sets and one of the tracks being officially released as a Ventolin remix, albeit in a slightly altered form. So it's apparently legitimate, although the sound quality is more or less crap. I examined the spectral data in Adobe Audition and they look like they were compressed at some point, probably because they were transferred to MiniDisc from cassette at some point, or vice versa. What we have here are files that look like sub-128kbps MP3s, which while passable, especially as a long lost bootleg, doesn't mean they sound great, and I'm sure you'll feel as though it's 1997 and you're listening to a RealAudio stream once you put these on.

I guess this all begs the most important question, why post some crappy sounding unreleased Aphex Twin tracks that there are no titles or definitive information for? BECAUSE IT'S UNRELEASED APHEX TWIN, THAT'S WHY! Unreleased Aphex Twin is far better than no Aphex Twin, and that's really all we've gotten since about 2006. In case you want to read more about this, visit this link and go to posts 334 and 335, then go here and read post 329. Then you can follow the link below and download the complete versions of all fourteen tracks as V0 MP3s, coded directly from the FLAC files. Now, you may ask yourself, why not include the FLACs? The answer is they were already compressed and the quality kinda sucks and they're simply not true lossless files, so why bother? This should be every bit as good and a hell of a lot smaller. So, I hope you enjoy and let me know if you have any questions. Crappy sounding MP3s of unreleased Aphex Twin is better than no Aphex Twin!

Brad Laner is Electric Company

Oh Brad Laner, you are such a totally awesome guitar/noise/electronic music making dude! You're a member of Medicine, been associated with kid606's tigerbeat6 label, worked alongside Ken Andrews and all kinds of studio geniuses, and you're also known as Electric Company, a catch-all label for your impossible to sort experiments in sound. Unfortunately, there is also little information I can find about you in grand detail beyond this timeline. Luckily, there is TONS of your music available for consumption, although much of it is out of print. That said, today I'm posting two of your incredible releases as Electric Company for all who are as fascinated with your musical output as much as I am. In case you're not happy with that, my sincerest apologies but I figured it would be alright since these albums are no longer available for purchase. Nonetheless, if you would like these removed, please say so and I'll be happy to do so.

The first of these two albums is A Pert Cyclic Omen, your 1995 release of noise, feedback and loops that makes Kevin Shields' work sound like that of a folk guitarist. It came out on Onion Records in conjunction with Rick Rubin's American Recordings. Sadly, like so many releases on American, it disappeared for reasons unclear other than it not being a Johnny Cash album. That's not meant as disrespectful to Rubin or Cash, it's just a fact as most American releases have disappeared from the market after a few years, often after American's distribution once again changed hands.

The second album featured is 1998's Studio City which was issued on Island. This is more of an experimental attempt at drum n' bass or jungle beats, albeit in a very Laner fashion which is to say twisted, tortured and mutilated till it's absolutely fascinating! There are plenty of great moments throughout Studio City like the danceable Darken An' Slobbering, but my favorite track has to be the closer, Soundcard, where Laner lets the track start and stop until it falls apart upon itself. Gorgeous.

For the initiate, Brad Laner's output may seem daunting, and that assumption is understandably correct, but that doesn't mean it isn't fun to dig in. If these albums grab your interest, be prepared to check out his releases with Medicine, Amnesia, Lusk and so many others. A wonderful starting point would be Medicine's Sounds Of Medicine EP, although I might have to post that here as it is also out of print. For now though, enjoy these polar opposite releases from Laner as Electric Company. I'm not promising they're easy records, but they are truly rewarding!
