maverick television took the approach of trying different formats and content types , building on what worked well . “ when we launched community features on the site and allowed in - line commenting , people took it up a lot more than we expected them to do , and did it in different ways . one of the ways was asking questions or sharing concerns . so we looked at the most popular themes , and recorded a series of twenty video responses with the doctors from the show ” , says jones .
harris says that because the television show dealt with personal health matters , there were many factors that were outside of the producers’ control , such as individual outcomes or recovery timescales after treatment . “ managing people’s expectations was important ” , she says .
i did some things that were widely imitated . they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery . that was flattering to me . ' maverick ' was imitated , ' the fugitive ' was imitated . i did all right . i had a great time .
dan jones , maverick’s head of new media , says that with the first series in 2007 , maverick had launched a number of resource videos to support the programme , including self - check guides for men . “ we also did mobile versions of the videos , cut down to around one minute… so you can take it to the bathroom , rather than sitting in the living room ” , he says . the videos proved to be highly popular , with each self - check video receiving millions of views online , so more videos were added .

in 1959 , the top four most popular television shows in the united states were westerns . from humble beginnings the small - screen horse opera became a tv staple and cultural phenomenon in the 1950s and 60s , and many are still on regular repeat today . the television western was no less popular in the uk and indeed worldwide . in more innocent times , the values and tropes preached by such dramas struck a chord with audiences . a catchy theme tune and the natural beauty of the american west also helped .

actor harry dean stanton earned acclaim for performances in films such as ' repo man ' and ' paris , texas , ' as well as the television shows ' big love ' and ' twin peaks . ' he died on friday at the age of 91 .
he again essayed “bret maverick” for one season in 1981 . but a bad back , lawsuits with mca tv over “rockford” syndication payments ( he eventually settled , reportedly for several million dollars ) and , eventually , heart surgery curtailed his ability to endure the rigors of a tv series .
maverick television , fresh one productions and hat trick productions , who produced ‘father ted’ , are understood to be among the independent production companies selected to create content for the first youtube original channels in the uk , reports broadcast . it has been reported that itn , channelflip and big balls films have also been successful in their bids to run channels . the companies are now said to be agreeing terms with the google - owned video site before securing up to €635 , 000 ( £500 , 000 ) of investment to launch and manage channels for a year .

lindsay wagner was the primary guest star on the very first episode of the rockford files ( 1974 ) . through much of the 1980s , james garner and lindsay wagner were considered the king or queen , respectively , of quality television movies and miniseries of that period .
often dismissed as glorified soap operas , many tv westerns addressed social issues such as racism and prejudice in a more forthright and articulate manner than their cinematic counterparts . so influential was the television western that when gene roddenberry was trying to sell star trek to television execs , he pitched it as “ wagon train to the stars” . and now , in the 21st century , it seems the television western is making a comeback . beginning with the notorious deadwood in 2004 , which redefined how we viewed the genre , there has been a succession of high - quality small - screen westerns , including several contemporary hits such as longmire and justified that although set in the modern day , carry many of the hallmarks of the classic western . and now we have westworld , hbo’s much lauded reboot of the highly regarded 1973 michael crichton film . it remains to be seen if , in the years to come , westworld retains a place in western buffs’ hearts like a gunsmoke or even deadwood , but in the meantime here’s a round - up of a dozen of the greatest television westerns .

3 . deadwood ( 2004 - 06 ) taking revisionism to a whole new level and winner of eight emmys , deadwood revitalised the television western while scandalising purists . the antithesis of golden age westerns blurred the lines between the good guys and the bad guys with its portrayal of real - life and fictional characters . the town of deadwood is a cesspit of depravity and iniquity and this is reflected in the brutal action , profane dialogue , and expertly drawn characters such as town boss al swearengen ( ian mcshane ) , as venal a character as ever found in the television medium , yet strangely alluring and identifiable to audiences .


the hotel2tango ( sometimes referred to as thee mighty hotel2tango and abbreviated h2t ) is a 24-track analogue recording studio situated in the mile end district of montreal , quebec .

the current facility is the second to bear the name , and was preceded by a similar operation in the same neighborhood until 2007 when the studio changed locations .

the majority of recording projects undertaken at the studio are helmed by one of the facility 's four partner-engineers : efrim menuck and thierry amar , both members of thee silver mt. zion memorial orchestra & tra-la-la band and godspeed you !

black emperor ; radwan ghazi moumneh , member of jerusalem in my heart ; and howard bilerman .

the hotel2tango is often closely associated with constellation records , a montreal-based record label .

before becoming a dedicated studio , the original hotel2tango acted first as a living space and later as a live performance venue .

recorded and mixed at hotel2tango , with howard bilerman , in late february and early march of 2010 ,
expo 86
is the name of the new and third album by montreal ' s wolf parade .
expo 86
follows the . . .
, released this time last year . they sound like a joyous version of a silver mount zion / godspeed / any number of other names , probably not surprising as they issue from canada and the hotel2tango studios . i strongly recommend this album , it ' s the opposite of it ' s title , so
“at the time , there were quite a few lofts that had parties and shows , like the hotel2tango and others in old montreal , ” pezzente recalls . “they started leaving or getting kicked out around that time . there were no real venues other than jailhouse rock , which was a really crappy rock club . ”
as one of the few remaining all - analog recording facilities , the hotel2tango is a world - renowned studio where virtually every constellation release , as well as records by arcade fire , wolf parade , and basia bulat among others were created and captured . when asked how h2t functions as a collective enterprise , bilerman , is mock - perplexed .
before the hotel2tango studio existed in its present incarnation with the three of you , you [ efrim ] and thierry worked primarily in an 8 - track studio environment with your own gear , and howard , you had your own studio . what kind of gear were you all working with at the time , and was this an entry into learning about the recording and engineering process ?
they transformed a warehouse space into the hotel2tango , a diy hive of activity with band rehearsal rooms , silkscreen and wood shops , and weekend shows that took place under the radar . the group settled into a permanent nine - member line - up by late 1998 , with aidan and bruce on drums , thierry and mauro on basses , efrim , dave and roger on guitars , and norsola and sophie on cello and violin respectively .
bozulich is more direct and pointed about her feelings for the label . critics hailed 2006’s evangelista , her constellation debut , as one of the albums of the year and a ‘return to form . ’ enjoying her work with montreal musicians , bozulich returned to the hotel2tango for this past spring’s hello , voyager —a mighty and emphatic follow - up . still , when asked what keeps her coming back to canada and working with constellation , bozulich is almost too overwhelmed to answer .
the hotel2tango is an analog based recording studio in the mile end of montreal owned & operated by efrim menuck , howard bilerman , radwan moumneh & thierry amar . we also have the modern conveniences of a protools hd system , with 24 tracks of lynx convertors , should you need it . we tend to be booked 5 months in advance , but there are always holes in the schedule , or last minute cancellations . please feel free to contact us with any questions . thanks !
one of the most impressive , physical manifestations of this commitment is the aforementioned building purchased by constellation and closely associated businesses . the label’s office space and warehouse are on the top floor , while the basement houses harris newman’s greymarket mastering studio and also the newest , and hopefully final address for the hotel2tango recording studio , which is owned and operated by menuck , godspeed and mt . zion member thierry amar , radwan moumneh , and one - time arcade fire drummer , howard bilerman .
a couple of months ago , we went into hotel2tango studio in montreal to record and film a live - off - the - floor video for a couple of songs from collider . the first installment is
longitude
and another will follow in the weeks to come . lizzie powell , who performs the song on the album , came out of the woods , leaving behind her dogs and songs to rekindle the fire with us . dave pawsey is behind the camera work and editing and the sound was captured by the illustrious howard bilerman . enjoy - - sr
indeed , chesnutt’s ability to overcome a severe disability and write his wondrous songs has inspired legions of fans and musicians over the past 20 years . he’s composed critically - acclaimed records , collaborating with the likes of lambchop , bill frisell , emmylou harris , and more recently , elf power and jonathan richman . after urging from his friend , filmmaker jem cohen , chesnutt visited montreal’s hotel2tango studio in 2007 and made a rejuvenating record called north star deserter . upon its release on constellation records , he toured the world with picciotto and members of silver mt . zion . the core group recently reconvened to create another astounding album borne of structure and improvisation in at the cut .
while nabatian’s joking , it’s obvious he’s used to being part of an ensemble that lives in the shadow of one of the most popular indie - rock bands on the planet . richard reed parry and sarah neufeld might be best known for their membership in arcade fire but , some nine years ago , they and drummer stefan schneider quietly formed the explosive instrumental ensemble bell orchestre to create live soundscapes for dance theatre troupes . pietro amato of torngat ( also a one - time touring member of arcade fire ) and nabatian soon joined the fold and the five - piece entered montreal’s hotel2tango studio with howard bilerman to make a record in 2003 , just as arcade fire began to supernova .
“so we went for a beer one afternoon and that’s how we met , ” menuck continues . “a few months later , i’d moved into this loft space up on [ avenue ] van horne and we named it the hotel2tango and started to have shows there . they were promoting a dub narcotic show and wanted to do it at the hotel and from that point on , it seems like we’ve always been doing stuff together . by the time godspeed were making our first record at the hotel , when we set levels but needed someone to hit ‘play’ and ‘record , ’ it just made sense to have don and ian come and do it , and when the record was made , it made sense for them to ask us to put it out . ”
“i think a lot of it is because they like to be with me and work with me , and i do them , ” she says finally . “i mean , i made red headed stranger and , even though that had willie nelson on it , it took me years to find a label to put it out . i paid for the recording and it was done and i just wanted a label to pay me back for that and put it out . even now that i have , the label hasn’t paid me one penny for all the years they’ve been selling the album . i just can’t tell you how incredible it is to be on a label like constellation that’s conscientious , has a real connection to the music , really gives a shit , and loves me . that’s just the label ! then , when you get into the musicians , and efrim at hotel2tango , and all that , it’s almost like ‘pinch me , am i dreaming ? ’ it’s too great ; i get choked up just thinking about it ! ”

thierry : actually we worked on a teac 1 / 4
4 - track before getting the tascam 8 - track . the first molasses record was done here at the hotel on the teac 4 - track with a tascam board and dynaco speakers , and that was it .
efrim : we did a lot of tinkering on borrowed 4 - track machines for a lot of years , headphones as microphones and obsessive track bouncing . recorded a pile of little things on 4 - track when thierry and me still lived at the hotel . later on we bought a tascam 8 - track and an allen & heath 24 - channel board from carter , labradford ' s keyboard player . labradford and godspeed were touring together and carter had the tape machine and board laying idle in his apartment and offered to sell it to us . we recorded the first silver mt . zion record on that gear , eight tracks feeling like so many sprawling , luxuriant acres at the time .
howard : i had a 16 - track studio in old montreal called mom & pop sounds . i had majored in sound in university before that , although i knew how to record bands already . i just enrolled to use the studios for free . they had an 8 - track 1 / 2
studio with lots of beautiful akg mics . in 2000 , when i was looking for a new space , thierry and efrim were looking to buy some new gear , so we just brought my gear over here to the hotel .
h : because molasses electrocuted our mtr 90ii , we ' re now using an mx - 80 24 - track 2
machine and a neotek series ii board . our mixdown deck is an otari mtr - 10 1 / 4
.
people who record bands often differ wildly on the use of compression . i was wondering if you could talk about your take on compression and the different situations where compression can be hindrance or help .
h : i think what makes a recording exciting is dynamic range , and when you over use compression you ' re getting rid of that dynamic range . i think a lot of people use compression on drums by default . . . like somehow that ' s what you are ' supposed ' to do . i mean , drums sounds don ' t come from boxes , they come from players . the best drum sounds i ' ve ever heard are by great players , like michel langevin from voivod who played on elizabeth anka vajagic ' s record . you don ' t need to compress those drums because they already sound great .
t : i try to avoid it actually . i mean , it can be useful if you want something to sit in the mix properly , but to me you either use it transparently or you use it creatively . i ' m just starting to appreciate compressors for creative means .
h : it ' s interesting to just run a signal through the compressor , without actually compressing it . it changes things sometimes in a really nice way . the difference between the 1178 and the la5 and the dbx are like night and day in that regard .
h : well , there ' s the two urei la5s , two dbx 163xs , a langevin photo - optical compressor , a urei 1178 , a bunch of valley - people dynamites , and the rnc 1773 which is really quite versatile — does subtle well and over - the - top really well too .
h : both . there ' s a pretty huge difference between 15 and 30 ips , in particular how the transients sound . for things like drums , you don ' t need to eq in mixdown as much when you record at 30 ips . having said that , at 30 ips you lose the low end a bit . the flip side to that is that it doesn ' t get muddy down there , and the lack of 20 - 40 hz actually makes things like kick drums and acoustic . . .

a couple weeks after this article appeared , the artists who occupied the former hotel2 tango , located in an old building wedged between van horne just east of parc ave and the train tracks , were given their one month’s notice .
the new landlord , owner of miniac repairs , decided he could not abide the “noise” ( otherwise known as music ) . he limited even more the time the musicians could jam ( though they still had to pay ) as mr . miniac claimed “their racket” wrecked the zen garage space he was trying to create . even the pitter patter of dog feet from a visiting pet would send him ( illegally ) up into the space to complain .
my husband happens to be among the displaced artists . j had been there for five years . his studio was one of the larger ones , looking out on to the traffic of van horne below . it was perfect - a ten minute walk from our home in parc - ex . close to other studios and stores . best of all , he had daily contact with other artists and musicians in his space - talking ideas , listening to the bands jam , well you know - basically taking part in the whole artistic fermentation process . the rent was affordable , the space was large and he had a place to connect with other artists .
the new zoning amends the city’s urban plan to recognize the importance of the creative economy and limits heights and densities to that of the district’s existing buildings . while a grandfather clause protects current companies , the new rules bar warehouses , wholesalers , transport firms and heavily polluting industries from moving in . new occupants are limited to 500 square metres .
bi - laws are all well and good , but nothing will get in the way of a new entrepreneur who does not want you there . there had recently been a big turnover at the space where the former managers had vacated . it was being run on a volunteer basis by one of the tenants of the space , but there was no lease . of what i heard , even the hydro was in the name of someone who had vacated the space years before .
though the artists fought for their space , there was nothing much they could do . mr . miniac would not stand any noise at all . he wanted to up the rent and kick out all the musicians . i suspect he has some ulterior motive , some other plans for the space , but his dealing with the artists was underhanded and dishonest , so who knows ? he also entered their space illegally on more than one occasion and , i repeat , just in case you didn’t get it before , limited the time the musicians , who had paid to use the space for practice , could actually practice .
now my husband , who works as a scenic painter and as a visual artist , has his paintings , sculptures , boxes of rusty bits ( he really likes his rusty bits ) in our basement and at the warehouse where he works . he has not had time to find another studio and probably won’t until august . he is using the coffee table in our very small living room to make large drawings , and i worry for his posture ( he is always leaning over his drawing like a myopic jeweler inspecting an old lady’s diamond ) .
what pisses me off is that the signs of montreal turning into another new york , where the artists who made it such a funky place to live in the first place can no longer afford to be there , are popping up . we have already had to move our home north of the tracks and now his studio will be going that way too . at this rate , we will be in the arctic by the time we are 60 .
it pisses me off that mr . miniac did not have enough respect for his new tenants to be straight up with them and tell the hotellers exactly what he was planning , but instead strung them along thinking things might work out and then making unreasonable demands . it felt very much like it was a calculated unreasonableness , one where he was being unbearable in order to get them out and do something more profitable with the space . though i could be wrong . it has happened before . time will tell . if you go by and see some major construction though , i reserve the right to say i told you so . ( yes , i am that petty )
the attitude towards artists also pisses me off . mr . miniac was very worried that the hotellers were going to trash his place before they left ( granted , we did not put much effort into the clean up but there was no trashing - we are not frat boys after all - oh geez - did i just stereotype frat boys after getting mad about the stereotyping of artists ? yes . yes , i did . ) . when j went to look at other spaces he came up against the same attitude - “we do not want any riff raff here . sorry . ”
well , for starters , the artists must organize . not in a vigilante or even union kind of way , but in a hey ! we should have a lease ! kind of way . figure out a good way to cover the expenses for the space . even put some away for a rainy day . part of the tragedy of the hotel was that it had been through so many hands so recently , nobody really knew or even remembered who had signed what . collectives are good . cooperatives . if only to protect your space and the right to do what you set out to do in it . j and another hoteller are semi - looking for a space with exactly that plan in mind , however work and family and approaching absences make it unfeasible at the moment - so this story is to be continued .
also public awareness - i guess . that sounds so lame . public awareness of what ? that artists are not usually the caravaggio - esque debauched criminals , the rimbaud - esque gun - running , nihilistic sops that will eat away at a space like foppish termites ?
studio tours are good ( they do happen around mile end , i see them ) .
blog posts like this too i think ( though i do confess to a goodly amount of vitriol - you would too if your house was once again invaded by rusty bike chains and other things i can’t identify ) .
and yes , having the support of the community also helps quite a lot . bravo for mile end for regulating the real estate bi - laws ! now what kind of bi - law regulation is there to contain unreasonable jerks ?

i noticed people migrating from mile end to the point a few years ago… faces i recognized from when i used to live in mile end navigating stretcher frames up the charlevoix subway stairs . the point is slowly getting expensive too , but there ' s lots of social housing and community awareness that market economy real estate shouldn ' t be allowed to push everyone out to the boonies . too bad the point is so far from you . ( though isn ' t it close to where j works ? ) your pix are great . that quiet concentration of kids trying to figure things out .

cat number onovitalija release date 24 mar ' 17 format info hand stamped cdr ( wrapped in recycled paper donated by artists involved with the project ) with paper or clear plastic envelope and a riso printed booklet .
another of ono ' s expansive and highly creative projects .
we are for a while
is a fully realized multimedia experience , detailing the working process for vitalija glovackyte ' s sonic and visual tale about recycling . vitalija first sourced a plethora of broken and salvaged instruments , their acquisition alone worthy of a tale ( told in the accompanying booklet ) . after repairing instruments to a ( somewhat ) playable state , glovackyte then set about recording the album you hear now - a collection of electro - folk meanderings , broken ambience and fairytales from industrial sites . it ' s a heartfelt homage to re - using instead of replacing and is highly evocative in the process . the booklet comes with photos detailing the process as well as a written narrative from glovoackyte . it ' s another brilliant addition to the art / music cannon that is ono records . highly recommended .

much been said about vincent oliver in the past eighteen months ; his unique approach to songwriting that fuses the quirky lyrical elements of diy pioneer r . stevie moore and arab strap ' s aidan moffat while musically leaning on the thin line between the shoegazing electronica of
pygmalion
era slowdive and the utter popness of new order ' s
power , corruption & lies
. his first two eps on loaf have been a starting point for a young songwriter with infinite pop potential .
ep3
concludes the series of eps of vincent oliver ' s bedroom recordings with reinterpretation and remixes from some of his most notable fans . border community ' s young star and tour mate , nathan fake , lends a hand to re - arrange the blissfully confusing
cluods in the haed
; into a psychedelic techno affair that has been getting dancefloor support from james holden . there ' s also remixes from hrdvsion , andrea ' s kit , isan , rothko and an extended live version .
post - minimalist , post - ambient , post - something else . history freely dilates and collapses on valgeir sigurðsson’s ‘dissonance’ , his first solo release since 2012 . its three largescale works are haunted by the old western tradition , infused with the ethereal workings of electronics and sound manipulation . recorded and produced between september 2015 and november 2016 at greenhouse studios , ‘dissonance’ is disarmingly human , reflecting the most extreme four years of sigurðsson’s life full of ecstatic joy and deep sorrow . ‘dissonance’ is a personal and collective musical treatise to explore and question a world that is collapsing under its internal dissonances .
a lost collection of home studio tape manipulations and vcs3 synthesizer experiments from the unsung australian composer val stephen . a practising medical anaesthetist turned electronic music innovator , stephen ' s study of tape music originates back as early as the 1950s . throughout the following decades he created a remarkable personal archive of uncharted electronic compositions and experimental music sketches using a range of resourceful tools and pioneering techniques . with only two of his compositions ever published ( folkways - electronic music . 1967 ) abstractum is an amazing look into the previously undocumented world of this silent innovator . a hallucinogenic hybrid of sedated synthesis & primordial musique concrete that will appeal to those interested in experimental music such as basil kirchin ' s worlds within worlds and pierre henry ' s le voyage .

next up on the great pop supplement is the ace new 45 from matt valentine - temporarily dropping the mv + ee tag for a solo 45 where he’s joined by the likes of j mascis , woods’ jeremy earl , magik markers’ pete nolan and the always great mick flower .
“before it’s gone” began in earnest back when the icelandic volcanic ash cloud of 2010 prevented mick returning to the uk after a stint as part of matt’s the golden road backing band . an intense period of jamming produced the embryo to the track here from which mv then recruited first pete nolan ( featuring his previously unheralded backing vox savvy ) then on visits to vermont , jeremy and j to fill it out and slow cook those edges . ( the full story is expertly told by mv on the record’s insert… )
beautiful , killer , stoned out soft psych released in perfect time for tail end of summer as a ltd one time pressing of 500 only . cool sleeve as ever from the gps and on tasty white wax… .
it ' s been nearly 5 years since brock ' s highly acclaimed
white clouds drift on and on
debuted on echospace earning a plethora of critical acclaim including many coveted top albums of the year list from ra to the wire . brock returns in beautiful form with what he ' s said to us is his most personal and self defining moment in his fruitful musical career . this album however strikes on a very different chord from the last , rather than find contentment in repeating himself he ' s sculpted a unique sound slightly out of focus from his previous work , a sound one could only say is like drifting in and out of consciousness . a place where early lsd experiments reveal third dimensions of the mind and evoke emotions so powerful they haunt you forever . here we see brock ' s true dedication to vision , maturity and growth , the reason why so many people have gravitated to his heart tugging productions . on ,
home ' he paints a near 3 hour exploration so beautiful and hypnotic the listener feels as if only moments passed by , a second to forever . this is a welcome return to form in the one place brock refers to as ,
home
here on echospace . if burial were to meet eno in the studio of a bbc radio workshop session with tape masters sent to steve roach for further deconstruction this might be the unique result , residing somewhere in the ether .
after the release of 2016 ' s ' when shall this bright day begin ' , jozef van wissem returns to consouling sounds for the follow - up album ' nobody living can ever make me turn back ' . the album is inspired by a vanitas painting by the belgian artist cindy wright , which is also the cover of the album . this inspiration is beautifully reflected in the music of the album : jozef van wissem ' s lute arrangements sound fragile , his sparse vocals delicate , as if the vanity , the temporality and senselessness of everything has been rendered audible .
first single taken from third full album from highly acclaimed four piece , norfolk based melodic punk outfit . the single features two exclusive tracks not featured on the album .

third time lucky
has received superb reviews from kerrang / rock sound / metal hammer / big cheese / fracture & maximum rock n ' roll .
tombed visions newest beautifully crafted outing comes in the form of ' vanishing ' , featuring paddy shine of gnod fame and a host of talented and likeminded drone soldiers . ' brighton ' presents a softly spoken northern monologue draped liberally over a dark backdrop of chamber classical strings , gothic organ swells and earth - shaking percussion . presented like dark ambient , but showing the grace of classical music and the melodic intonations of soaring post - rock buried under a shroud of gloom . as we move into ' night vision ' , the pensive vocal flourishes turn quickly into beastlike distorted whispering , while the percussion steps up a notch into syncopated distorted mayhem , gating airy swells and cavernous basses into an amalgamation of industrial and electronic influence .
moving further along and ' the forger ' is once again led by a bleak spoken monologue , but the backing has progressed into an echoic chamber of lengthy plate verbs applied to squeaks of noise and what sounds like train sounds , all underpinned by a heartfelt but shadowy piano refrain . ' bronze misnomer ' threatens to break into full electronic meltown at any point , with droning feedback and paddy ' s free - jazz sax noodlings providing relief to the stark electronic backbone .
it really is brilliant this one , it takes time to devlop and it demands your attention , turning from a noisy drone into a nuanced and impeccable ambient masterstroke with repeated listens . bleak , bold and stunningly beautiful .
gloomy dystopian futurism and industrial rhythms , juxtaposed with striking classical instrumentation and beautifully visceral spoken word segments . it ' s drone for the uninitiated , classical for people who love a story . brilliantly immersive and hypnotic , a winner .
album nº3 from christina vantzou is the result of a two - year process of composing , arranging , rearranging , experimenting , and melding classical instruments with synths and electronics . recorded in belgium with a 15 - piece ensemble of strings , horns , woodwinds and micro - choir , the tracks vacillate between orchestral , ambient soundscapes and more structured works that the composer refers to as
pillars .
the internal core of the record , however , is unwavering . all tracks head in the direction of otherworldly drones surrounded by soft , subtle and sometimes intense veils or points . the structured tracks mark a new direction for vantzou . whereas 100 % of the music on nº1 and nº2 was composed without time structure or steady click , the pillars on nº3 adhere to a solid mathematical scheme . perhaps vantzou ' s day job as a math teacher is starting to have an inﬂuence . nº3 ' s virtual instruments and voice samples hearken back to vantzou ' s time with the dead texan , speciﬁcally tracks like
aegina airlines
and
when i see scissors i cannot help but think of you
. the synths on nº3 were given special attention and were recorded over a 2 week period using a dx7 , yamaha cs20 , roland juno - 6 , and a selection of eurorack modular synths , making nº3 very much a hybrid record , both symphonic and synth - based . to complete the album , vantzou made 2 slow motion videos using a phantom high - speed camera and a 16mm short ﬁlm .
brand new release from this classic band . they have been making punk records since 1981 and this is their first in five years . pure old skool punk .
founding member of uran gbg with a past in swedish cult bands such as lava , and appearing on stage and in studio with some of gothenburg’s more prominent acts , jerker jarold is one of the cornerstones in the city’s psychedelic scene . by the name of västlänken , jarold is now making his first release as a solo artist on höga nord rekords . the music on tracks
autobaba
and
moebel
is a mixture of dub , ambient , kraut and techno where a few but tasteful components builds the sound . västlänken ' s transcendent qualities lies in jarolds ability to limit himself in matter of recording techniques and instrumentation ; one synthesiser , one delay pedal and one mobile studio is all he needs to make these delicate but highly tuned musical utterances .
this six - piece from denver have toured with all and sundry including boysetsfire , vendetta red , static lullaby and the used to name but a few . they play loud and frantic post hardcore with a three guitar attack that will blow your speakers . alternative press named them one of the ' 100 bands you need to know in 2003 ' this cd shows you why .
from 2012 ' s
hassan
lp to his
territories
record from a couple years back we now hear jorge velez taking his sound into new realms on this five track long ( ish ) player . in what can be called a foray into animal - themed electronic experimentation - recorded using only fairlight cmi samples and a microbrute synthesizer - we hear a melodic side to his sound previously not present in his other works . hints of musique concrete as well as eastern influences creep about in a teasing manner bringing the listener into a dream world of digi - nature , electronic bird chips and 8 - bit waterfalls . . a welcome and refreshingly unique listen .

“an appetite for the unknown
- daniel lanois no collaboration is unlikely when the end goals are the same . a meeting of two artists who illustrate different corners of the musical landscape , come together to create a new statement that takes their collective strengths to higher elevations and encompasses new terrains . so it is on the first collaborative journey of canadian musicians venetian snares and daniel lanois . what started as mutual respect for one another’s work , led to several years of a creative germination resulting in an eight - track full - length exploration released may 4th on timesig / planet mu . the path began in 2014 , after lanois reached out to venetian snares ( aaron funk ) as a fan of his work . the project started to take root in summer of 2016 , after funk hung around toronto between shows .
taking his gear to lanois’ studio , the two began to play for the first time together in what would prove to be a formative moment in their creative journey together . “i love making music with dan , he has a real understanding of how to create a world and build what may exist within that world . bassdrums are trombones and they are a colossal whale which floats on clouds of leaves speaking to the blast furnace feeding the mammoth . a small painting of forest horses hangs in the cranium of the sea horse . ” – aaron funk recorded live in a former buddhist temple - turned - studio in toronto , ' venetian snares x daniel lanois ' travels to new zones in what lanois describes as “a body of work driven by exploration” . like all the best collaborations , it ' s brought something new out of both musicians . equipped with their production acuity , they let their natural workflow guide them through uncharted waters . funk laid the groundwork with drums while lanois rode the pedal steel , weaving their sounds together in a new sonic tapestry . the two ultimately landed at their destination , their work ready to be shared with those willing to explore . in daniel lanois ’own words :
to come upon a new form reassures the head that frontier lives on the unlikely pairing of venetian snares and daniel lanois may very well have provided us with a nice new pair of shoes to walk to new sonic frontier a melange of gospel and electronics as madness of the world trips over its heels these canadian sonic innovators prepare for travel a body of work driven by exploration , brings to us in our modern times what we remember and admire from the jazz explorations of the 50s a splintering an appetite for the unknown
we all know what snares sounds like , and it tends to veer towards the ' skittish cat trapped in a synth ' vibes , this one expands on that by underpinning the whole thing with some held synth pads , ambient washes and contrasting serene textures .
danilo plessow ( aka mcde ) and marcus worgull return as vermont with another gorgeous lp of the finest modern kosmische . turn on , tune in and drop out !
