Utility Fog

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}

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}
