Rock N' Roll

Unclaimed Remains

Before I put this decrepit monster out of its misery, I've scavenged through its innards and collected some of the spooky tracks I spun at Zombi along with a few I dared not play. No tears from the creature of the night...

NewGaze

You know what? I think I'm starting to burn out on everything Neu Rave (no, it's NOT rave) / New French Touch (God I hate that term) / Noisy Machine Rock / Ed Banger style - the RobotSound™ posse have given to derisively referring to all of it as "Daft Punk Breaks." Maybe because it's just a bit too prevalent and trendy or that in six month's time I'll have heard just about everybody trying to sound like or get remixed by the latest incarnation of Justice/SebastiAn/Boys Noize/Kitsune act. Don't get me wrong - some of it is brilliant. But seriously, I'm beginning to have a hard time differentiating everything; listen to it for too long and you start to malfunction like some head-spinning, out-of-control cyborg! Are any of you experiencing this output? Can I get an "exact match" anyone?

Now that I've ranted, I think I may have found the antidote to my current, sample-induced frenzy. It's more of a return to a personally, much-loved era in music, albeit with some modernizing upgrades. This is for those of you who liked getting lost in the dreamy soundscapes of Slowdive and Seefeel, or enjoyed drifting away to the hazy abrasiveness of My Bloody Valentine or The Jesus and Mary Chain. It's perfect for your post-Night Out soundtrack. I believe you'll agree that sometimes it's nice to just leave them all behind and get washed away in the distortion.

Loud is the New Quiet.
