I've developed a nasty little habit of late - namely purchasing albums, giving them cursory listens, and then getting all indignant when they come up on random play, and they are excellent ("Who is this?" "This is great!" "Why have I not been listening to this recently").

One such album is Renu's "Into the Skyland", which I picked up a few weeks back, added to iTunes, and, apparently, promptly forgot about…at least until now, when I have put it on out of curiosity whilst doing some writing, and discovered that it is absolutely lovely - warm, sublime,…

Hey, I don't like Paradise Lost….or Tool…and who are the Mars Volta?

Yet all these bands have appeared on my songs played!

Eh?

You remember the one, the one where the plumber calls at the house, and the deranged woman reveals that it's not her heating system that needs fixing, it's her dead baby. You do! Chris Morris's "Jam", absolutely brilliant (if a tad horrible) stuff!

Well, do you remember the music? Gorgeous, moody, dark…it's Les Rhythmes Digitales ‘Kontakte’ - and I have been trying my bloody hardest to find a copy.

Anyone, ANYONE got any ideas? Pleeeeeease?

Meant to post this yesterday, but had to go to work (the glamour of being a nurse - it's never ending…or starting).

HAPPY MITHRASMAS (AKA Christmas)!!!

^_^

Bleh! So, after trying to ignore all the signs for a long time, I have given in and allowed myself to be ill (yay for me).

Anyway, as being ill means I have to stay home from work (which just makes me feel guilty, and makes the being ill thing even worse), and to pass the time, I have been listening to a fair bit of music…and a good bulk of that stuff has been done by a somewhat unusual musician named John Callaghan.

I'll be honest, until last week I had only really heard two of his tracks;…

Just noticed that Saturday Index has put up the very track (as well as another that is sumptuous in the extreme) that I was lamenting in my last post as not being on his EP, for download on his MySpace.

Do yourself a favour and for the love of monkey check them out!

You'll thank me…honest!

…Hello you. Sorry it's been so long since I last wrote, but I've been a busy little monkey, and simply haven't had time to sit down and be productive here.

Anyway, that aside, I have got my hands on some new music since last we met, and now, I would like to bleat on about it a bit.

So, Saturday Index's "Partly Cloudy EP", what did I think?

It was okay.

The best tracks to be fair are ones we had already heard, and are simply gorgeous (I was absolutely gutted that the completely wonderful track "Your Stars are…

Saturday Index's Partly Cloudy EP

It's out!

I'm downloading it now, and I must confess, I'm pretty damn giddy with excitement!

Will let you all know what I think after I have had chance to properly digest its moist electronic juices…

(Oh, and download it from Here)

Just what the doctor ordered for a sad Sefotron not far away from heading out to work - a free collection of beautiful electronica courtesy of The Whisper Foundation; Document B (get it here).

favourite track on it is Chloes Reach by Track53; a resonant, sweeping bit of frost tinged, mist floating electronica beauty - perfect music for a bright, still, frozen morning, out spotting halos.

Get it! :D

Plaid have released a

Yay!
