Tonight we had a big musical celebration of the work of Greg “J” Walker, aka Australian musical treasure Machine Translations, who put out a new album last year that somehow completely slipped under my radar until right at the end of December.
We also heard from Canadian indiefolk-cum-ambient artist Benoît Pioulard, because UFog faves Lost Tribe Sound are just about to release an amazing 2CD set of remixes, the discs loosely reflecting the more song-focused and more ambient sides of his art.
We followed with Andy Stott doing his usual minimal bass-heavy electronic reworking of New York doom rock band Batillus, Moon Zero from Futuresequence‘s SEQUENCE7 compilation which I didn’t get to spin anything from last year, and Rival Consoles doing a bit of techno with lovely folky vocals from Peter Broderick.
And finally, Colin Stetson from another 2013 highlight, tying in nicely with January as he’s shortly to appear at Sydney Festival – how excitement!
LISTEN AGAIN, all the highs and lows (there are no lows)! Link at bottom, stream in stereo from FBi.
