Found something today that not all people who visit this blog like... But when you listen this a few times there is something very nice in these two weird noisy psych jams... check them out! {mr.A} What the fuck is it with all these tapes? Bastard things. Say, all mine got ruined when I left my car door open in the snow after a party. I'm darned if I'm collecting the spooly twats again! But
U pon hearing Harappian Night Recordings it is common for people to assume that it is a collage of field-recordings from a varied cast of inhabitants from the non-industrialised parts of the world. Such is the rich depth, vitality and authenticity of the recordings. The music and sounds however are created entirely by one man, Dr Syed Kamran Ali. He has such an instinctive feel for putting seemingly incongruous sounds together and such audacious irreverence in utilising any instrument or object from around [...]

Als ik wajangpoppen zie moet ik denken aan de theelepeltjes van mijn grootouders. Aan het uiteinde van elk lepeltje was het hoofd van een wajangpop bevestigd. Het feit dat mijn oma en opa in de Sumatrastraat te Den Haag woonden berust in dit verband op louter toeval. Op het hoesje van The glorious gongs of Hainuwele (2009) staan ook wajangafbeeldingen en helemaal toevallig is dat niet. De fascinerende muziek op dit album lijkt afkomstig te zijn uit Indonesië maar is gemaakt door Syed Kamren Ali, de man achter Harappian Night Recordings , een van de artiesten die afkomstig is [...]
hat sich jemand mal gedanken darüber gemacht, warum geweihe in der alternativen musikszene so beliebt sind? gern gewähltes accessoire. synonym für gesundheit und pracht? fruchtbarkeitssymbol? von mir aus gern. deshalb auch die nachfolgende kleine empfehlung für die grenznahen. am 6. märz startet das kraak festival in belgien: kc netwerk & de brug, aalst. das line up ist verdammt gut und der trip hinüber allemal lohnenswert. das plakat zeigt ein beispiel für die eingangsüberlegung. im letzten jahr war, wenn ich mich richtig erinnere, ein nacktes weib zu sehen. spräche auch für die fruchtbarkeitsthese. mehret Euch! hinter dem [...]
christ, somehow i'm still catching up with last years divined finds, trepidatious purchases, enthused borrows and sweaty-illicit mail packages. this came out lord knows when (october maybe) and i've only just got round recently to tuning out and dropping off. dunno why it's taken so long given my love for the part wild horses / hunter gracchus lot that this square-peg-rectangular-hole mingles with. winnowed from the polymath, alchemist, "the man who could walk through in-between positions", arch black duke of maknovischina, peripatetic flux ingester haji gutterpup ustad's almanac, his scribblings and tapes spanning 31 yrs, "non-euclidean [...]
like the closing track, the opening song on an album is a pretty crucial selection. just like the opening line of a novel. which song do you choose to draw your listener? do you start quietly - a bold move forcing the listener to move in closer, pay more attention. or do you charge out of trap, loud and proud screaming attention? in the first of what may or may not be a series, here's track 1 of a few recent/upcoming releases. ::: harappian night recordings - mal de ojo from "the glorious [...]
