Tracked it down here…http://www.myspace.com/centralmassive (see an earlier post for context). The song is Brother Don’t Cry and its flipping gorgeous.
So I seem to have a thing about stuff on white label/otherwise untrackdownable stuff. If you listen to this programme http://bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b00m4247 from about 52.30 onwards you’re in for a good time: Red Eye et al., Brother Don’t Cry. All I can find is some LA producer banging out the sort of ‘house’-based tripe that only LA producers can put out…
Steve Reich is probably the most influential composer from the second half of the twentieth century. So today, I bought a package that Nonesuch, his record label put out, called ‘Phases’, with most of the defining recordings of his defining pieces. I also bought a remix package, where leading off kilter electronic artists take him on. The absolute highlights for me are Coldcut on ‘Music for 18 Musicians’ and D*Note on Piano Phase. You can listen to samples here.
The most recent album by Jon Hopkins, who I recently mentioned, today arrived in my pigeon hole. Its got some supremely beautiful moments, in particular track 9, ‘A Drifting Up’ (sadly not yet on YouTube, will keep an eye out a post a link). Its an album that has the potential to end up in Moby ‘Play’ territory: i.e. plastered all over adverts. Get it now before it gets devalued.
