I think they were quite into AR Kane as well, that's the vibe i got i first heard a tape from them, when it was still formative<br /><br />even better than Quique is Polyfusia, which gathers up their earlier EPs and singles- More Like Space, "Time to Find Me", Plainsong, and Pure, Impure<br /><br />there's a remix by Aphex of "Time to Find Me" that is wonderful and surprisingly respectful of the original, he keeps a lot of it which was not his rmx norm<br /><br />but yeah then they seemed to decide they wanted to go full blown IDM and it got bit austere and cold-eerie with the Warp stuff, i think they were following the lead of RDJ with Selected Ambient 2SIMON REYNOLDShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01282478701882900354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2537988259790085733.post-12560304186801003802020-05-03T12:50:47.342-07:002020-05-03T12:50:47.342-07:00Yes I was going to mention Mark van Hoen as the ar...Yes I was going to mention Mark van Hoen as the archetypal shoegaze => IDM character. A founder member of Seefeel - so his bio says, although I think he left before the first album - and then Locust, etc.<br /><br />Seefeel themselves went from exploring the world created by Loveless to making some kind of ambient IDM version of post-rock, didn't they? I used to own their album on Warp, although I remember thinking it was pretty disappointing.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01409303370931148796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2537988259790085733.post-35989559203998558942020-05-03T12:32:01.464-07:002020-05-03T12:32:01.464-07:00ah the lines connect

Which comes very clear if you've listened to that recent reissue of his pre-TRR outfit, Deux Baleines Blanches...<br /><br />The Chapterhouse album was remixed by Global Communication - who also remixed Slowdive - & one of the chaps from Chapterhouse ended up making trip-hoppish stuff as Cuba, on 4AD... There's the Mark Van Hoen / Locust / Seefeel nexus, too...<br /><br />Jon Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2537988259790085733.post-27003819529397561192020-05-02T03:35:25.915-07:002020-05-02T03:35:25.915-07:00Right!
