This is great. I didn't realise he was so good, this is the first release I've got. What else should I get by him?

*him/them?


there was a self titled release

last year that was pretty special.


It's amazing!

I've got three of the self titled cdrs which are ace but if you like Model Town then I would say find the Sol Powr cd. This one:

There's a nice review of a couple of the recent cdrs and that Sol Powr cd here

cool thanks!


I just heard of this guy

the song i've heard totally kills.

I'm pretty pretty excited abnout getting some of their stuff.


guy/guys

whatever


You can

listen to all of his s/t album on last.fm

They've got the name wrong for some reason, but still!


Is vibracathedral orchestra any good

it's the same guy right?


He's one of em

although he seems to have left them now. Mick Flower (he of Flower/Corsano duo band thing) is too. They're sort of different, what with the recognisable instruments (it sounds like they just play whatever is lying around!) and lots of people playing, but still very good. More 'eastern' sounding. Last.fm to the rescue again!

Music makes me feel good.

I'm tired and am going to bed.

Something to look frward to for tomorrow.


Yeah!

Although obviously I hope there are more things to look forward to.

Listening to something like Astral Social Club even makes going to work on a packed metro with someone's already stinky armpit in your face enjoyable. Well, almost.


agreed

on sol powr being an extraordinary record.

pretty much all the ASC self titled releases are essential.

there's a hilarious video on youtube of neil dressed up as elvis when he was in smell and quim.

he's dropping a record with dancing wayang which features stuart from a band and john clyde-evans. can't wait for that one!!
