Selected Ambient Works, Volume II
7.8

Selected Ambient Works, Volume II (1994)

Sortie : 7 mars 1994 (France). Ambient, Experimental, Dark Ambient

Album de Aphex Twin

c l y d e l'a mis en envie.

Annotation :

"Not really a record you wanna dig out every day. But like most of the records I've chosen here, this was an object in my collection that needed to be thrown away and replaced, meaning I made adequate use of it. I can never remember what this record sounds like until I put it on. I didn't know there was a second disc, because someone had left the first disc in my player and that was that. While I gravitate towards AFX's melodic side ('Rhubarb' is definitive) this record is about mystery meat. Sinister, heavy murk. "

Discreet Music
7.2

Discreet Music (1975)

Sortie : novembre 1975 (France). Electronic, Ambient, Experimental

Album de Brian Eno

Annotation :

"The three variations on Pachelbel's Canon are all pretty great, but for me the highlight is what happens on 'Fullness Of The Wind'. The loop logic is impeccable and simple and unfolds in time in a heartbreaking way. Cosmic drool with no awkward Eastern affectation. All Whindam Hill records 1975-1985 should be re-tracked through multi tape delay, perhaps that is the purpose of all that emotionally sterile winter music. And III, eeeIII will always love drooling."

Warmth of Earth
6.5

Warmth of Earth (1999)

Sortie : 1999 (France).

Album de Eduard Artem'ev

Annotation :

"A Soviet-era record by a great composer of Russian film music, namely the scores for Solaris and Stalker, both of which are phenomenal. This is not like his pure synth drool at all, it's a symphonic prog record with heavy Russian-style melodic leanings combined with hard fantasy shred and 70s sexual rock instrumentation. I spent about $50 acquiring this record on GEMM, a first edition Melodia vinyl, a label notorious for their thin (cheap) wares and the fact that they were the only label permitted to operate under the Soviet regime. State-approved wonk by a high ranking composer."

Moment of Truth
8.2

Moment of Truth (1998)

Sortie : 31 mars 1998 (France). Conscious, Hip Hop

Album de Gang Starr

c l y d e a mis 8/10.

Annotation :

"I had this dubbed on tape for my car, along with Crooklyn Cuts Volume III Tape C and in the rare instance that I wasn't listening to one of these I was listening to Emerson College radio, which was mostly hip hop and then techno later at night. I wasn't really 'hearing' Guru even though he really locked up hard on this record and a track like 'She Knows What She Wants' in retrospect has a Robert Altman vibe to it. Premier was everything for me. 'Robin Hood Theory' = my education on the aesthetics of a cut. I still obsess about it. That, and Scarface's verse on 'Betrayal' is really dank. Gang Starr's swansong and finest moment."

Klaus Kinski EP (EP)
7.6

Klaus Kinski EP (EP) (2002)

Sortie : 2002 (France). Electronic, Ambient, Electro

EP de Legowelt

Annotation :

"I downloaded this off of my friend Pepe's iTunes on the shared network at Hampshire College in 2002. I owe a lot to Pepe, whose computer was my techno education. I couldn't believe Legowelt, I was like "Wow, sequencers...", which got me thinking about my Juno-60 getting sync for the first time. I ended up getting an MSQ 60 and then an MSQ 700 off of Ebay (another practice which at the time must have seemed pretty severe, the mysterious gear splurge). 'Behind The Forest' was my jam, and was a direct influence on 'Behind The Bank' [Betrayed in the Octagon, 2007]. Perverted action/adventure throwback drool that inspired me a lot. "

Loveless
7.8

Loveless (1991)

Sortie : 4 novembre 1991 (France). Shoegazer, Rock, Alternative Rock

Album de My Bloody Valentine

c l y d e a mis 9/10.

Annotation :

"Best sex album and best industry distributed "noise" "rock" album of all time. The following is edited text from the Cut-Up Machine's interpretation of the All Music guide review of Loveless:

Ethereal and Mascis
Mascis, apparently
Mascis commanding Shields
Pioneering Mascis
Eno's expectations

I've decided that the above is a poem I wrote about Loveless."

Where Have I Known You Before
7.3

Where Have I Known You Before (1974)

Sortie : 1974 (France). Jazz, Fusion

Album de Return to Forever et Chick Corea

Annotation :

"My dad had this record dubbed on a Maxell C90 with Mahavishnu Orchestra's Birds of Fire on the other side. 'Song To The Pharoah Kings' represents a seismic shift in my consciousness because of the simplicity of the organ and mono lead intro, which transforms into a dark electric shred labyrinth. Unfortunately every time it gets really heavy, Chick Corea 'leprechauns out' with his weird elvin fantasy riffs. The Lenny White and Stanley Clarke rhythm section is an animal. Thundercat probably goes 'cyber'/'leprechaun' practicing his bass over this shit in 2011. My fusion band Trolls of Precision covers a majority of the RTF cataloge, years 1974-1977. "

Sextant
7.7

Sextant (1973)

Sortie : 1973 (France). Fusion, Avant-garde Jazz

Album de Herbie Hancock

Annotation :

"My favorite Herbie record and by far his most cybernetic Mwandishi era effort, featuring Dr. Patrick Gleeson on the ARP 2600 and Pro-Soloist in full CV gate berzerker mode. Unlike Return To Forever, there is nothing laughable about Herbie's sample+hold jazz. Upright bass, rhodes, and bubble synth (the kind that Emerald's John Elliot would later master as Outer Space) sound awesome together. And my favorite jazz trio interplay ever happens at 2:30 during 'Rain Dance' and doesn't end until the spiritual bass solo a minute later. Hard."

Music of My Mind
7.5

Music of My Mind (1972)

Sortie : 3 mars 1972 (France). Soul, Soul-Jazz, Funk / Soul

Album de Stevie Wonder

c l y d e a mis 9/10.

Annotation :

"In 1972 Stevie Wonder recorded Music of My Mind and Talking Book outside the control orb of Motown and then used the recordings to leverage a better deal with Motown, who had been shafting him Barry Gordy-style since puberty. These sessions mark the beginning of his grownass man period, which ends in 1994 when he collabs with Lenny Kravitz. I love the vibe of this record because Stevie plays all the instruments other than trombone and guitar, and the overdubs sound 'gloriously artificial' and sloppy and raw energied out. His Moog bass sounds sultry on 'Superwoman' which is proglike in its movement and gnarly chord changes. My favourite jam, 'I Love Every Little Thing About You' is the purest distillation of the phenomenon of your friends not liking your girlfriend but it not mattering."

Shri Camel
7.6

Shri Camel (1980)

Sortie : 1980 (France). Modern Classical, Electronic, Classical

Album de Terry Riley

c l y d e l'a mis en envie.

Annotation :

"With Riley's "eh... add Yamaha" and with Riley's reverse Riley, Riley registers Indian synapse variation. A melody system is a homeostatic one-portrait where no one system serves the world. Shri Camel is a balanced recording that explores Riley's rainbows against computerized loops. Breakthrough loop warmth!"

Venice
7.5

Venice (2004)

Sortie : mars 2004 (France). Ambient, Experimental, Electronic

Album de Fennesz

c l y d e l'a mis en envie.

Annotation :

"My favorite of Fennesz' records mostly because of 'Rivers of Sand', the heaviest DSP jam I have ever heard... the ultimate desert island DSP jam. Fennesz and his contemporaries milked granular synthesis to the point of it becoming a pedestrian avant style. However, because of his acute melodic skill, and because he is an epic sculptor, capable of shaping and trimming and incising sonic datum into electric fields of sadness, Fennesz is a cut above. Granular flickering gloom is taken to its logical end point on the David Sylvian-guested 'Transit', which I can only describe by comparing it to the final scene in The Thing in which Macready and Childs are sitting together in the snow after everything has gone to shit. "

Chaotica
8

Chaotica (1996)

Sortie : 1996 (France). Electronic, Ambient, Abstract

Album de Tom Recchion

Annotation :

"Ton Recchion was a leading member of the L.A. Free Music Society and this is his 1996 album. He is somewhat overlooked in conversations pertaining to 20th century experimental sound people, which is unfortunate because the material on Chaotica is some of the most beautiful tape music (and best synth music) out there, and it has had a lasting affect on me. 'Enormous Horses' has almost a proto [William Basinski's] Disintegration Loops or Caretaker vibe to it, with its microsleep induced engorged pedals going in and out of focus ad infinitum. Drooooool."

La Haine : Musiques inspirées du film (OST)
7

La Haine : Musiques inspirées du film (OST) (1995)

Sortie : 12 mai 1995 (France). Hip Hop

Bande-originale de Various Artists

Annotation :

"Sadly there is nothing that mindblowing on this soundtrack, but the film was my favourite and I listened to the shit out of this CD when I was 15 years old. Basic french hip hop fare -- acid jazzy reggae shit with a heavy dose of Terminator X worship... probably the best track is 'Assassin' which has a really surreal cutaway synth sample moment in it that stuck with me. Basically it's just 'chillin', 'phat' French gangsta rap that is pretty cool if you're trying to cruise in '95. Not everything made it to the soundtrack unfortunately, namely all the American music that was featured, so you have to watch La Haine to get the maximum impact. "
