Utility Fog

Sunday, 31st of July, 2005

Due to a happy confluence of events (I received some promos from em:t in the UK and from a bloke from Melbourne (briefly Darwin), and I'm tired and wanna chill out maaaan), tonight's show is focusing for the first little while on ambient sounds. I've brought a few good oldies in... Being in full-on ambient mode means that I've played some waaaay long tracks, but I seem to have made up for that later on.

International Peoples Gang - aeroplane [em:t] {classic em:t made available for download from shopsonic.com}
Three Month Sunset - stom-ache [self-released, demo? - has a release out early 2006 from the lovely hellosQuare recordings]

beatsystem - tibet [em:t] {classic em:t made available for download from shopsonic.com}
Amorphous Androgynous - swab [Virgin]
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Vol II CD2 Tk6 [Warp] {This album uses a complicated procedure to link images to track numbers; way back in 1994, the nascent idm-list on hyperreal created the SAW II FAQ, which helpfully names track 2:6 as “siding nails”, for what it's worth}

Clickits - in my field of view [Moteer]
Pivot - La Mer [Sensory Projects]
