the new massive attack video is just as expected: brilliant. indeed, i do not find the link between the song and the video, but how it was made and the mood it has makes me not think about links anymore.

i love the song, is one of the best on the heligoland album and a brand new ep, called atlas air, will be released in november on virgin. the ep will also include a remix from clark. yes, warp-clark. can you imagine the thrill?

cgi ftw

some will call it lack of time. i just call it excessive lazyness. but hey, now that i’ve got same time to waste, here are my latest discoveries in music. yea, you know, music, the thing that helps people socialize, have sex, make babies and stops the war.

new brian eno album on warp records. one single track for preview. it’s called 2 forms of anger.

how to destroy angels – the space in between. updated 4 months ago, just now i found the time to share it with my 2 unique daily visitors trying to sell me viagra

the lovely grindermann (aka nick cave) and their heathen child song. out on 14th of sept 2010 via EMI. weirdness has just reached it’s highest pick!

bryan ferry is up for a new release. a brand new wonderful album called olympia. the first single is called you can dance and most of you electronic freaks know it due to dj hell’s remix. below you will find the promo video for the second single, shameless – and no, not the groove armada version, but the brilliant album version. out oh the 25th of october via EMI.

did i say weirdness has reached it’s highest pick? i was wrong. THIS is as far as it can get. not gonna waste any more time trying to explain the whole iamamiwhoami deal. you people search for yourselves. the pleasure of discovery is much more fulfilling than the pleasure of finding out everything from others.

it’s been 3 years since the last daft punk release. now, in 2010, end of 2010 actually, the 2 french guys are ready to release something brand new. no new album but a mighty soundtrack for the long-awaited disney tron legacy movie. due to release on the 25th of november, the soundtrack will be also available physical and digital. the waiting will soon be over, but until then, a little preview. i do not guarantee the authenticity of the song. but it sounds daft punk alright!

last one: cassius – i love you so. i still don’t know if i like it or hate it. maybe i love to hate it.

what can i say. music changes. my passion doesn’t. i can’t say i’m deeply in love with any of there, except for maybe the brian eno track.

all i can say is that i am really looking forward to the atlas air single out in november. has a remix from clark. that pretty much says it all.

one small goodbye gift:

Truth about acid house

Charanjit Singh - Synthesizing: Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat

acid house… a long history of music, artists and production gear. but if we dig deeper into it’s history we find out some interesting things.

all this time we though that acid house was born in the mid ’80s, by accident, while dj pierre started playing with his 303 and 808, and then it basically promoted itself with a “small” help called josh wink and his higher state of consciousness.

but only a few days ago it was revealed that the real inventor of acid house was born and raised in the beautiful, charming and silky india.

yes, india!

Charanjit Singh is his name, and all he wanted to do was translate ancient indian classical ragas to the modern synthesizer. during that process he kinda invented acid house.

all this happened in 1982 and now it is known as Synthesizing: Ten Ragas To a Disco Beat

only a few copies of the original record we’re found and in march 2010 it was re-released. 19th of april will be the release date for the cd format.

the track is nothing more than a psychedelic indian ethnic flavoured sound wrapped up in house beats with strong acid vibes.

Release info

“The lost electronic masterpiece by Bollywood Session Musician Charanjit Singh.

While Kraftwerk was making catchy songs and the future inventors of acid House where still in primary school, Charanjit Singh explored the realms of abstract electronic dance music.

Early 1982, Singh imported with much effort the latest Roland synthesizers into India.
He had a vision of translating the centuries old indian classical ragas to the synthesizer.
With his Roland TR-808 drum computer he laid a basis of a hypnotic beat, with the TB-303 and the Jupiter sequencer he created acid house-like patterns.
On top of this he played the meandering melodies of ancient ragas.

With its repetitive beats and hypnotic electronic melodies the album sounds light years ahead of its time. Moreover, the 10 tracks make a consistent listen from A to Z.
Its restrained minimalism and lack of cheesiness makes it incredibly contemporary, sounding animated, fluid and unabashedly alive.”
