An unusually inventive ambient soundtrack, rather avant-garde, based on the Terminator films. I like this one - it keeps surprising you. (I've just read it uses bits from the soundtrack to a 2019 video game, Terminator: Resistance.)

Thirty years ago yesterday, Erasure released their I Say I Say I Say album.

The sound of this, their sixth album, perhaps epitomises what Vince and Andy had always been working towards. One notable thing is that Vince made every single sound from scratch, even the percussion sounds.

But what I also love about this album is the graphic design. As you can see, there is a consistent schema across the various releases, all built around a fantastical 3D landscape. The album shows the view at night. The three singles show the same view but in different seasons. The remix CDs show wireframe renders of the band's insignia. Finally, the EP shows the landscape but in a unique close-up.

This is something that really appeals to me - the design of a "whole" thing via its component parts, which are done consistently. This is exactly what I now do with @Millenniyule every year.

An interesting song by Stockport musician Holy Other, Touch, from his With U EP (2011).

I love this song by German duo Kraków Loves Adana, Don't Ask Why:

I really enjoy this EP of remixes of the score for The Happiness Patrol, a 1988 Doctor Who story. These remixes are done by the original composer, Dominic Glynn. Really nice, unusual stuff. (Admittedly, it might be less enjoyable if you aren't familiar with the story.)

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Autobahn's release, here is another mammoth 40-minute version, when the Brothers Kraft performed in Leverkusen in April 1974.

I missed the anniversary for this. Thirty years ago, 1994. Either this or Everybody Gonfi Gon was the first single I ever bought.

It's too soon for spring - I'm enjoying the darkness - but nonetheless I associate this album with the spring. The Brothers Kraft with their 2003 comeback, Tour de France Soundtracks, their first album of new songs since 1986. I remember walking and listening to this for the first time and feeling elated, especially at the climax of track 4. That melody!

A cool version of a Giorgio Moroder track that I like, Utopia.

The Brothers Kraft performing the entire Autobahn album, live in 2024. I should say the title track is only 14 minutes long here, so not by any means a faithful recreation of the original version, but still...

Japan with the 12" version of their classic, and eccentric, hit Life in Tokyo:

#2020s #electronic

A rather inventive remix of Japan's Life in Tokyo. (I don't know how people separate the sounds from original recordings, as this guy has. There must be some tool that I'm unaware of.)

A charming piece of vintage Dudley Simpson, his theme from The Ambassadors of Death:

Since it has been taken off YouTube, here is the KLF's masterpiece house classic, America: What Time is Love (the 12" version, naturally).

Be young, be free, the American way!!!!!!

A nice track by hipster lesbian duo Telepathe, called Drugged.
