Music for Voyeurs Music for Voyeurs Bittles‘ Magazine With the world of music still reeling from the new Daft Punk album it’s hard to believe that there’s loads of great new music out there desperately vying to be heard. With all the hype about this release you could easily come to the conclusion that all people want is a load of regurgitated pop-disco crap. Hopefully that is not the case and there will be many who’ll be excited at the mountain of fantastic new releases coming out this month. Boards of Canada, Gold Panda, Jagwar Ma, Lust For Youth and loads more are hitting us with epic sets that renew ones faith in loud guitars and crushing beats. By JOHN BITTLES First up, and running those French robots pretty close in the hype department, we have the return of strange electronic chaps Boards of Canada. The fact that neither of the band are boards or Canadian shouldn’t be allowed to detract from the wealth of sublime music they have given us over time. New album Tomorrow’s Harvest is not only a fantastic achievement but it is also the duo’s first release in eight years. Utilising a marketing campaign to die for has ensured that the albums release was the most anticipated announcement since news of Then Jerico’s return, (or maybe that was just me). Hype etc is all very good, but the main question as always is, is the music any good? While the album cannot be defined as a massive progression from previous release Campfire Headphase it is still a strangely compelling and disorientating listen. Hushed electronics and spooky samples create a wonderfully evocative world that may not be for beginners but is sure to enchant and gratify those who search its haunted corridors for melodic delights. Sounding like the cherished love-child of a Screamadelica era Primal Scream and an overly loved-up 60s pop group, Howlin’ the debut album by hotly tipped newcomers Jagwar Ma puts a smile on your face while good humouredly suggesting you get up on the floor and groove. The indie-dance genre has gained quite an atrocious reputation over the years but the music created by these two Australian lads might just be enough to make tired old cynics like myself change their minds. That Loneliness sounds like a lost Monkeys anthem if only they had discovered the delights of acid house, Four will rock any party you could care to mention, while The Throw is so sunny sounding it gave me a tan while listening to it on repeat. Clearly dance rhythms with guitars is nothing new, yet if you give this album a chance it is sure to win a place within your heart. Music for Voyeurs Those who want a lot more guitars in their rock should find much to enjoy in Clarietta by Charlie Boyer and the Voyeurs. This band have been bubbling along for a while now so if you haven’t heard of them before then feel free to hang your head in shame. They may not be the saviours of rock that NME etc crave but then again who could save that horribly bloated beast that we now call rock? Charlie Boyer and the Voyeurs’ music takes the glam rock of the 70s, mixes it liberally with some garage style grooves and lashings of art-punk attitude to create a fearsome rock behemoth that whispers sweet nothings in your ear while sneaking its hands down your pants. Is this a good thing? In my world it is! Just check out I Watch You, Be Glamorous or Go Blow a Gale to discover just how good this band are. Gold Panda’s debut album saw him gain a lot of praise in the UK yet left this listener somewhat cold. Sure I could appreciate the soft leaning music that worked together with the naïve production style, yet, for me, there was something vital missing. Thankfully his new record Half Of Where You Live is much better! Out now on Ghostly International and sure to delight those who are into Four Tet or the more organic strains of house, the album positively bristles with laid-back emotion. Opening tune Junk City II immediately sounds like it should be soundtracking an epic scene in your favourite movie, while songs such as Brazil, Community and Enoshima wash over the listener with waves of positivity and emotion. The album was apparently influenced by the idea of the modern city which is evident in the record’s global influences that highlight the multi- cultural aspects of contemporary life. That this long-player is a lot easier to love than its predecessor makes it a very fine listen indeed. Jon Convex’s label Convex Industries have systematically set about releasing some of the most absorbing and emotional electronic music of recent times. Idoru by Jon himself and the Wraetlic project by techno terrorist Alex Smoke took ice cold electro and gave it a loving human touch. Their next record is 36-26-36 by Femme En Fourrure which ably maintains the label’s previous high standards. Electronic gurgles and warm hearted synths mix splendidly with sweet and sexy samples to create a sharp and cheeky listen that simply seduces the listener into consenting to repeated plays. If the pairing of Juan Atkins and Moritz Von Oswald doesn’t get your knickers overly twisted then may I deduce that you are not much of a fan of techno? This is no bad thing by the way, but when you consider the range of seminal records that these two have been responsible for in the past it is enough to make anyone feel a little bit faint. Borderland is out now on Berlin institution Tresor and sees our sonic scientists investigating jazz-shaped down-tempo moods. The album is a deep sensual experience that is much more suited to home plays than to a DJ looking to rock a club. The eight tracks blur together to create a gently soothing ambience that urges the listener to go deeper and deeper until they get lost within the grooves. Electric Dub, Footprints, and Digital Forest are mere highlights in a set that is something of a chin strokers wet dream. If house music is more of your thing, then please check out Plaited by Karocel out on Freude Am Tanzen at the end of June. Its ten tracks contain a yearning warmth mixed with huge dollops of dancefloor goodness that Music for Voyeurs is strong enough to make you think the sun is still shining while you shuffle your feet in a cold dank room. Watts has a rare funk vibe which is finger-clickingly good whereas Undo and Vox explore luscious deep house templates that have an almost Chicago like sheen. Some might find the album a bit too smooth and over- produced yet for me it’s like a little slice of aural heaven that is a delight from beginning to end. Title track Water opens up the debut album by Muscovite Anton Zap with stilted chords and a wickedly bubbling bass that combine beautifully to make even the coldest of hearts swoon. That this is music to get completely lost in may well be a cliché but in this case it is absolutely true. This is a set that will work when you are lying in the sun on a hot summer’s day, sitting at home contemplating the world, looking for a nice set of warm-up tunes, or after you’ve had a long stressful day. Pieces such as Road Trip Song and Captain Storm up the pace slightly from the album’s general languid glide and help maintain a rich and varied tone. Yet this is about as far from head-fuck techno as it is possible to get since there is a sense of stillness and tranquillity that settles over each and every track. I have already used this album many times to calm down my overly hysterical cat. And I can’t think of a better recommendation than that. The label Ostgut Ton are on such shit hot form right now that they could release six minutes of dogs howling and I would still be tempted to give it a couple of plays. Luckily Marcel Fengler’s album Fokus is a far more pleasurable experience than that! What it does contain is eleven tracks of experimental techno that do what so little music does nowadays; shock and surprise. Opener Break Through is eerie sounding in its dark ambience while Mayria and The Stampede use percussion in such a unique way that it literally makes you gasp in delight. For those of you who consider themselves sonic explorers, I cannot recommend this album enough. Coming out on Smallville in July Disconnect to Connect by Steven Tang may not take you to places you haven’t been before but it is a good solid collection of the type of deep house that can’t help but make you move. Interstice is lush ambience, while the title track sounds like classic Chicago house if it was having a quick nap. Some Solace sounds almost like classic Warp whereas Eternal and Sunspot feature sweet synth swirls that feel like an aural massage. A debut album has been a long time coming from Mr Tang. Lets hope we don’t have to wait so long for the follow-up. Recalling the glory days of trance when a certain Mr Paul Van Dyke was king, 1977 the debut album by Rene Reilly Kölsch is a glorious thing indeed.

Signed Christy Elizabeth Newman Date: November 3, 1997 2. Title of Thesis:Repeat-the-Beat: Industries, Genres and Citizenships in Dance Music Magazines Repeat-The-Beat: iii Abstract This thesis examines a particular cultural object: dance music magazines. It explores the co-imbrication of the magazines with dance music and considers how a reconfiguration of the field of genre theory can help to dismantle the generic separations of ‘textual’ and ‘industrial’ approaches to cultural objects. The main argument of the thesis is as follows. The magazine industries produce an object of cultural exchange which is made commercially viable through a narrowing of its target audiences. These audiences arise in the space created by the dance music industries’ negotiation of an imagined contest between 'underground' authenticity and 'mainstream' productivity. In turn, dance music magazines produce a powerfully exclusive space for the communication networks of the dance music genre by capitalising on the desire to stabilise genre and therefore taking up generic instability as a positive youth marketing strategy.

Geoffrey Brown 3 This thesis is dedicated to Agnès Calatayud, an inspirational teacher, who reconnected me to French cinema after a long carence, and who, crucially, first introduced me to the films of Claire Denis. 4 Abstract This thesis argues that the interest which the films of Claire Denis display in the ever-shifting modes of relations between people is illustrated through analysis of how music is used throughout her corpus of feature films. Denis draws on an extremely eclectic palette of musical styles, and the thesis proposes that these varying musical modalities are central to her treatment of relational issues, as are the ways in which she deploys her chosen musical selections.

  • Kevin Shields the Buddyhead Interview by Aaron North
    Buddyhead | http://www.buddyhead.com/music/kevinshields/ 19 Jan 2005 Kevin Shields The Buddyhead Interview by Aaron North The Icarus Line got to play with Primal Scream was in New York, and TI have to admit I was slightly disappointed at the time, because Kevin Shields wasn’t performing at the show. The word was that Kevin had to be at his brother’s wedding instead. It definitely added to the myth that I, and many other people as well, had built into our heads that Mr. Shields was some kind of mysterious recluse whose appearances could never be bargained on. The story of Kevin’s band My Bloody Valentine, and their demise, has up to this point sounded closer to folklore than something that happened less than a decade ago. Like a twisted version of the game “telephone”, My Bloody Valentine fans have perpetuated the tallest of tales ranging from master tapes of unreleased albums being set afire, to band reunions in far dark warehouses in Berlin. When The Icarus Line had the opportunity of again opening for Primal Scream, it would be a tour with them across the United Kingdom. When we encountered the band soundchecking on the first day in Glasgow, it occurred to me while I stared at them onstage, that between Kevin’s time in My Bloody Valentine, Mani’s in The Stone Roses, and even Bobby’s stint in The Jesus and Mary Chain, not to mention The Scream themselves, I was witnessing the composers of a good portion of my record collection back home.
