Thanks NØ. I desperately want to like Pye but couldn't really enjoy Hollow Earth or Let's Emerge. I suppose I want my hauntology to be more James Kirby. I will listen to these with more humility.

These four seem different to me from Hollow Earth, but my idea of hauntology leans more toward Burial, so go figure. This was just something I wanted to share as I was finishing up the P file. Let me know what you think about these.
DeleteDisclaimer!!!! My opinions are worthless!! To my mind however, Jenkins sounds like an engineer (!!) rather than an artist. There are some sparks of creativity but none of them progress. If I'm in the mood for Dark Ambient then I'll usually dip into the gloomy depths of Cryo Chamber or The Caretaker.
DeleteAs for Bevan, he peaked too soon with Untrue. Even Hyperdub don't want him anymore. Street Halo was the last thing I liked. Dreamfear was plain awful. But hey, what do I know? I haven't sold one single record :(

No disclaimer needed. No one's opinions are worthless. They are, after all, just opinions. I always welcome yours. I believe MJ is more than simply an soundboard engineer. I believe he has actual burst of true genius, but that he is not the "greatest of all times". I tend to ignore his later work as boring, but still find enjoyment & inspiration in these early Black Mill Tapes.
DeleteAs for WEB, I guess I was too vague in my comment. I meant Burial (self-titled). I am always entertained & intrigued by its uniqueness whenever I give it a spin.
Thanks N0 -- recently discovered Hauntology with the big "Ghost Box" collection recently. Really like what I've heard so far so thank you for these additional PCA collections.
ReplyDeleteThese are a bit earlier than PCA's involvement with Ghost Box. Think you'll enjoy these if you like the Ghost Box stuff.
DeleteGood to see this here.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting stuff
Cheers
