Lemiscate, the 2011, self-released debut from Los Angeles musician and visual artist Vinyl Williams, is getting the reissue treatment on November 12 via London’s No Pain In Pop and his own Salonismlam imprint. To psych us up, he made this architecture-themed animation for album single “Higher Worlds,” which sounds an awful lot like what might happen if ’70s krautrock icons Neu! asked a vocalist to sing on top of all the motorik beats and elemental guitar melodies. Complicating the found footage aesthetic, Williams passes some VHS-style filters over a homemade 3D animation, so that the result looks an awful lot like a vintage videogame even though it’s an original work.
This is the first single released from the forthcoming debut record by “M.H. & His Orchestra”, a bizarre troop of musicians who recently recorded at Champe Ford Studio. Here’s a little bit from “M.H.”:..”It’s a song about trying to reason with a depressed person, it’s hard to tell someone that it’s a lot easier than it seems to get out of it. You have two options, kick them in the ass or persuade them to dance”….
Our dear friend and ultra talented musician Alessandro Coronas has hit us again with such a unique project, a different kind of mixtape. The idea behind it is to bring it to you as a whole, with a story behind, or just to create a certain feel, vibe, or state of mind. As Alessandro explained it to me; …”it’s called “phone call”. To recap the idea is to have a story that sneaks underneath every mixtape .. few words. now it’s about a girl who makes a phone call in russia. You don’t know who’s on the other side of the line”.. Now, there are some great artists that participate on this mixtape, but there is a wider idea behind it; When you listen to this mixtape you don’t really care for the small detail, it’s the beautiful dreamy overall sound and mood of it, that just carries you far far away, to the trip AC took you to.

They say that what determines if you’d become a night or a morning person has to do with your birth experience. If your birth was traumatic or complicated, most likely your arising experience will be as painfull . You are most likely to become enchanted by the intimacy of the night, where darkness caresses, comforts and protects ya, and on the other hand, wake up in tears…. And vice versa. Now. If this theory is true, my birth was a complete disaster. I would be thankful if someone would wisely advise me how I could start my day around 18:00 PM. But hey, cant do so….and I always try to find methods to ease the landing. I used this song as a shield today and it had faithfully protected me and raised a faint smile on my face. Ladies and gents Tim & Puma Mimi……..plus try to use the song title as a Mantra; Acchi Kocchi
Was just listening to Lau Nau‘s gorgeous music on The A&D blog and thought you might enjoy it as well. Some words off her bio section here:

Since the release of her celebrated debut full length ‘Kuutarha‘ on Chicago’s Locust Music in 2005, Lau Nau has enjoyed considerable recognition for her intimate & playful blend of ethnic tinged folk songs with curious & intuitive sounds conjured from familiar and exotic sound sources.

People often ask me about my involvement with the art of music. So I was debating lately what should best describe this addiction. I mean, I have done it all, wrote music, performed, played the guitar, engineered, produced and remixed, even reviewed and posted some lately. But the most basic connection or simply love, is through sound. It’s the tone the carries me, makes me forgot about lyrics, form, hooks, or structure. Good, sweet, original, repetitive, minimalistic, interesting, grainy, ragged, clean, vintage, new sound does it to me. That’s probably why I love those guys so much..Perispirit is the collaborative project of Ricardo Donoso and Luke Moldof, here delivering their debut album proper after a number of cassette editions for Prurient’s Hospital Productions and Ricardo’s own Semata imprint.
Take a listen to ‘Spiritual church movement’ by those guys and get a drift of what is it that keeps me awake in this tiring cosmos..
