In his collaboration with Richard Davies as Cardinal and solo outings including two essential albums for Sub Pop (1995's "It's Heavy in Here" and '97's "The Lateness of the Hour," go get 'em), Eric Matthews made lush headphones music that turned the space between your ears into kaleidoscopic mush. Something about the orchestration and arrangements made you hold your breath, or search your mind for some fitting piece of cinema. Same goes for Seinking Ships, his new collaboration with Ohioan Christopher Seink. The collaboration's debut album "Museum Quality Capture" came out last week on S-Curve Records, [...]
SAVE BBC ASIAN NETWORK (AND 6 MUSIC TOO) Another delayed post featuring some of my musical favourites from the last few weeks.

Visit here to register your objection with the BBC Trust (they make the decisions) The Asian Network recently picked up a couple of Sony Awards for its output. Nihal won Best Speech [...]
So you know what? It is difficult to find pictures of stuff with seven assorted "things". I've used from toes to frogs to The Count and even Jim Carrey to help celebrate the number seven in the past. I have decided that the new hotness is the number eight. Why have seven songs when you could listen to eight ?! Check that out, it's an eight legged frog. Check out eight songs that have [...]
From the POP! Stereo History of POP! comes today's lesson starring Eric Matthews and Miki Berenyi... Eric Matthews...He was once of the legendary Cardinal - the groundbreaking orchestral pop act that paved the way for everyone from The Polyphonic Spree to Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes. Eric was also signed to Sub Pop and released the classic 'Fanfare' single (and an LP that MOJO cited as 'one of the 67 Lost albums You Must Own'). He decided to make an album with Ohio native Christopher Seink under the guise of Seinking Ships [...]
Sorry about no mixtape last week - I got swamped with weekend activities and was scrambling to catch up with the real world for the rest of the week. No excuses, right? Back on track, I promise. As always, there's a mix of stuff in here that was given to me by PR contacts, material direct from the band's themselves and some stuff that was buzzing around on other blogs that I was super stoked to find. I usually bop to this great stuff every morning while I walk to the train with a piece [...]

Because you just never know when you'll stumble across the former drummer for Velocity [...]

Después de que el año pasado publicara su mini-álbum Six Kinds Of Passion Looking For An Exit , que rompía un silencio de seis años, parece que el rey del pop barroco ha cogido el ritmo y además de las 17 canciones de su nuevo trabajo sigue en las labores de produción para proyectos de amigos como Seinking Ships y con colaboraciones como músico en difererentes discos, entre [...]

Καλοκαίρι 2010.. το πρώτο μου καλοκαίρι [εξ ολοκλήρου] στην πόλη. Ο πρώτος του μήνας είναι ήδη παρελθόν, και αυτό ήταν το sound track του για τη Χειμερινή Ακαδημία. 1. The Drums - Book Of Stories [zs] " Συγκρατείστε το όνομά τους [είναι και εύκολο]" γράφαμε ακριβώς πριν ένα χρόνο. Τελικά ακόμη πιο εύκολο αποδείχθηκε το να σου κολλήσει κι από ένα διαφορετικό track του καταπληκτικού ντεμπούτου [...]
