Ultravox – Brilliant

Posted by on in Listening, Music

When I heard that Ultravox had a new album coming out I was relatively excited. I’ve always liked them, but perhaps their later albums not so much. Anyway, I thought I’d give this new one a try out, and I listened to it twice, or maybe three times, but overall, it really didn’t work for me, which was a shame.

Having said that, one track really stood out for me. It’s called ‘Rise’, and I’ve been playing it over and over. It stood out from the rest of the album by a long way, and I think it’s a great.

Laurel Halo, Quarantine

Posted by on in Listening, Music

I listened to this album for the first time today. It has an interesting structure and some great textures and sounds to it. I think I’ll probably need to listen to it a few more times to get into it, but it most certainly has my attention.

When I’ve digested it further I’ll write some more about it.

Listening to Grimes

Posted by on in Listening, Music

So I’ve listened to 3 of Grimes’ albums and so far the one I really like is the last one, Visions. I really have enjoyed listening to that one, a lot. I hope that she keeps on making more albums like Visions.

A new Imagined Village album

Posted by on in Listening, Music

I didn’t know that they had a new album out, and more than that, I had no idea that they’d released an another album after their first! I’m really out of touch on this aren’t I. Still, never mind. I just need to catch a little with what they’ve been up to.

New Laurel Halo album came out

Posted by on in Music

And I missed it! It arrived on the 21st of May and I didn’t notice. Still, something new to listen to I guess. She was very good when I saw her live at Field Day and at the time I thought about her new album, I think I just had it in my head that it was coming out later in the year.

Never mind!

Laurel Halo at Field Day

Posted by on in Events, Festivals, Music

I’ve only recently started to listening to her material, and it is very good, although there isn’t too much of it around. I believe there’s an album coming out this year. Anyway, she was really good, I liked the set and it seemed to get a good response from the audience too.

Punchdrunk track: WT – A child no more

Posted by on in Mobile Applications, Music

This is a track made in Bhajis Loops as part of a collection of 60 tracks that was to called ‘Punch Drunk’. I’m still working on getting the whole thing finished, but I thought that I’d share some of the tracks to see if anyone has any views on them.

The original plan was that there would be 60 tracks each of 60 seconds long, which explains why this track is only a minute long!

Paul’s Shruthi-1

Posted by on in Music, Tech

A really nice example of the Mutable Instruments Shruthi-1 in steam punk style. Sounds awesome too!

I posted this over at Palm Sounds as well this morning, but I wanted to put it here as well.
