For The Electronica Subverts Series 002 June 2025
Inspired by great writing in The Wire magazine - www.thewire.co.uk - and working on TDD 11, and the 'Cyborgian Consequences 2024-2030 writing project. Any ideas for TDD 11, or to contribute, send me an email.
Various Artists
Kompilation 1
Kranky Records label
CD
Released 1998
A well sequenced, unique compilation, with different versions of Kranky classics. I bought both compilations, 'Kompilation 2' is a 2xCD arriving in the next three months. For those that find ambient and drone music too extreme, hardcore and have to keep in the pop ambient bubble, this 'Kompilation 1' release is a good choice to investigate the outer reaches of music that is also too interesting to stop listening to. It sequences Gregorian Chant, Shoegaze, Industrial Drone, Musique Concrete, Eno-esque discrete music, post-rock, minimalism and a cranky connection to keeping awake, with a breakthrough sound where, as the Kranky label often does, removes a ricochet of the society back and forth.
