Louder than what you may ask. Well, louder than most recent mixes. th’ faith healers (more here) feature from a bruising Peel session released in 2005 but probably first aired on 24/11/1991. Don’t you love that 90’s sound?
Toy are a young band from England (London?) with krautrock sensibilities (and thin legs).
If you can wait till 10 September you can buy their album.
More Kosmische than krautrock. Love the Kraftwerk cover by Jurado and Swift.
The songs towards the middle are pretty straight forward lockstep sequencers with the beats getting more chaotic towards the end.
I used to play around with electronic components and I recall setting up a series of oscillators and then linking them randomly. Sounded similar, looked like this (except there were more of them).
I fancy that these tracks were generated using old school ring modulators that look like this…
I included tracks from two bands I saw at SXSW with Kosmische tendencies – Lower Dens and The Men. The Men track is quite unlike their guitar shredding live set, whilst the Lower Dens sounded pretty similar live.
Which reminds me, I have a day and a half of SXSW left to document. Next blog posting I promise…
