shoegazetronica slight return

with Emma from Lush on guitars and voice (although I can't hear either to be honest)

also (it says on Wiki) guitar on this



and (says Discogs) on this



and indeed much of the Everything Is Now album


De-Lushed!




sounds quite Slowdive-meets-One-Dove


The Drum Club were Spiral Tribe connected and had one really great tune



But after that nothing quite came together

It was all a bit wishy washy proggy housey and well yes Guerrilla Records

This verdict at Discogs is close to the mark I think -

"These guys are very floaty, hippy-esque, and loose...  No offense, but I have come to believe that pagans are weenies from listening to these guys, PWOG, and exquisite corpse. I like more oomph in my music. There needs to be more gusto to life than this."

Went to the actual Drum Club the club, at the Soundshaft on a Thursday ...     it was no Rage let's say (not that I ever got to Rage).  Mild and floaty. Probably heard records by Fluke and such like.

Nice chaps though -  shared a car with them (or one of them? can't remember), a whole bunch of us heading down to Castlemorton and not knowing what was in store for us

On the way, one of them explained what a "Doet" was -  as referenced in this track by the Tribe - or at least, what its effects were



Ah, didn't realise the name is actually the chemical abbreviation for a Shulgin creation, rather than a mangled injunction "Do It!"



Now that's actually a good track - I remember it from the Hardkiss comp / mix. Tasty bit of guitar. Crisp 'cussion.

aowuu wowu wowu woww owu-wu

this Carns Hill production



reminds me of this



the yearning mystic diva-moan

the latter uses the same female vocal sample as this jungle tune



whose source is this




or - possibly - mediated by this sampling of same




it also got used by the Orb of course



and by this lot  - who I liked for a moment there, until they went all progressive housey



and also this one too - by the for-a-while promising, but ultimately petering out and being a bit boring (as on this tune) Depth Charge



and the Sister Aisha lick appeared in various other tunes (there's a hard trance example out of Germany for instance)

think that this is actually my favorite use of it, although at the time i confess I didn't care much for the tune when it dropped into the pirate mix  - perhaps because it did have a little bit of sedated "ambient dub" meets Leftfield / Guerrilla Records vibe about it which I was getting frustrated with and not wanting to intrude itself upon the frenzy of the ardkore




another tune in the, ah, lineage, that does the mystic yearning woman rippling in the echo chamber thing is this dubsteppa




back in a loop to the start with another Carns Hill production with a wavery female vocal, but more ghostly-eerie than mystic St Theresa-y



and ooer missus - that title, it is well nuum-y innit
