They're back!

Just read a random page about the genesis of this track in David Katz's People Funny Boy biography of Scratch - some kooky Jamaican.Forteana story about people seeing a three-wheeled coffin going round town with a ghost / duppy in / on it (already the details are starting to fade / blur, as they always do with these tales) - the Kingston equivalent of 2016 Clown.Lurking Incidents, and businessman Perry deciding to do a quick cash-in track while the tale was topical and on everyone's tongues... Then realised I'd never actually heard the track (despite being a fan for 40 years and having a pile of Perry records right next to me)... So:
This might be the greatest Hungarian 'Post'-'Techno' album you hear this year. Who knows.
Gotta be better than Brooklyn Hipstershite, right? Hungarian "Crypto'Technio' via the amazin Erikoisdance label in Finland. Nah, 'Technio' is not a misspelling; we need to move on; find new tags / IDs / themes / streams w/out betraying / discarding what came b/fore us. You understand that, right? Technio-Music from the #Maybe-Magyar Vignette micro-'Tecnio' shit. Get yr loop on, here, via Erikoisleaks
Lou Johnstone (aka Wanda Group / Henry Caravan) just instigated an ad hoc but very democratic Free / Improv Music project called Visitants.
Wayne n I (aka EUH!) are VERY chuffed to be part of the first VISTITANTS installment alongside some other Free Moosic nutters... moments come and go / co-collide / smear-rattle click n drone against one another - every second precious and unique ... like life itself, balanced on the precarious edge of being shitty-rubbish yet potentially transcendent. What's been amazing! - but pretty unsurprising, knowing Mister L J - is how bloody democratic / open this has been: this is seven quid for a copy because he wanted each VISITANTS member to get a quid a copy (minus Bandcamp / Paypal bullshit) for their efforts... "Around 100 different bugs, which were mostly bacteria, were found inside crystals, where they had been trapped for between 10,000 and 60,000 years. 90 per cent had never been seen before.
"The cave system sits above a large pocket of volcanic magma and is geothermally-heated to temperatures of up to 60C, which has led to astrobiologists dubbing it 'hell'. "Most life could not survive there but scientists have discovered some organisms have evolved to feed on the sulphides, iron, manganese or copper oxide in the cave." No link on the quotes above as I discovered - to my horror! - that it was the Daily Fucking Telegraph, so durned if I'm going to respond to their clickbait Pop Science piece by giving them even 0.05 of a penny more in click-through-revenue. Instead, I'd like you to imagine some hitherto-unknown varieties of metal-feeding microform emerging from their aeons-old crystalline hive to wreck havoc on Torygraph readers, their hip-replacements and our understanding of how life evolved on this planet. Kudos to the Telegruff, through, for dumbing down and using the word 'Weird' in the article header so that people under 60 might actually click on the piece. The Mail would probably refer to these bacteria as 'tawdry' or 'gaudy' or 'BBC luvvies' or something... "Around 100 different bugs, which were mostly bacteria..." What were the rest of them, then, huh, Science Editor? Or is it just too complicated for your readership? I'll see if I can find something on an Open Science site, or via NASA (If they're not too busy building military space-planes with DARPA). Meanwhile, I'm day-dreamin' about E E 'Doc' Smithesque microorganisms with weird (shit, now you even got me doing it!) rhombic forms that can chow down on manganese... |
