It’s going on Christmas.
Some parts of the worlds are colder than others.
50 words for snow…

As a gentle segue this week from the jazz show that precedes us, Extended Play kicks off with one of our all-time classic Frigid tracks, Nobu from Herbie Hancock’s electric “Dedication” album from 1974. We’re also featuring Australian new sounds courtesy of Hydatid and Pimmon, plus solo work from UK band Wire’s members Colin Newman (with wife Malka Spigel, as drone outfit Immersion) and Bruce Gilbert. Space is the place - expansive.

Yes, I'm still on something of a retro tip. After seeing a depressing "top selling dance songs of the noughties" list, I began thinking back to the stuff I loved in the nineties. I was, to be fair, heavily into big beat and drum and bass in my uni days, so this list might well be heavily skewed. But needless to say, there was far too much to squeeze into just ten songs, so this has spiralled into rather more than that. But, it all deserved mentioning, and as always, there are playlists to listen to them on.

Anyway, the way I'm going to do this is to split tracks into their respective genres, or at least as close as I can get to them. So, lets make the beats very big indeed to start with.

Мой альбом июня:
Так уж сложилось, что в июне я не услышал ничего такого, что захватило бы дух, что сильно сильно бы впечатлило или просто очень понравилось. Зато было несколько добротных альбомов на крепкую "четверку". Можно было бы, конечно, отдать должное нестареющим ветеранам синтипопа, но свежая кровь всегда важнее. Потому можно смело назвать альбомом месяца лучшего среди равных Audio Shaman, от перспективного проекта Mentol Nomad:

Mentol Nomad - Audio Shaman (2010) [Illbient/ Dub/ Hip-Hop/ Big Beat]
8/10
Каких только сюпризов не приносит андеграундная сцена! Уж не знаю, как can_but_try нашёл этот альбом, но его рекомендация достигла адресата. Давний поклонник Meat Beat Manifesto, я не мог пройти мимо этого проекта.
Проектом заведует Daniel Dejesus, родившийся в Бруклине, и выросший на андеграундном хип-хопе. …
