buon giorno luamada: buon giorno luamada - more blissful blossoming lotuses of lovely dream noise from perdizes dream, brazils answer to not not fun. if yr familiar with babe, terror’s warm analogue burblings then yr on safe ground here. does that sleepy dusk/dawn sensation home-taping thing that the likesof ducktails and their various bastard children do. y’know hazy backround fizz in a hot bath-full of guitar fuzz and clean strummery. it’s hard to imagine all this stuff not coming from some sunny dreamland of cold beer and tropical weather and girls with darkdark hair tucked behind their ears swaying in the perfect breeze of postsummer somnambulism. think if it was made here this record would sound like pissing rain, malfunctioning machinery and the garrulous nonsense of shouting drunks. occasionally it bums you out for a few minutes with the found sound atonal hush lastbest heard on mogwai’s come on die young. and sometimes wanders into creaky david (rather then julian) lynch soundscape territory. and randomly batters a cheap distorto guitar. but it’s all good. exceptionally so.

marc broude: rites of zen – finally into this rum mix i’m gonna chuck in this seventy two minute ghostly death rattle. is anybody in portland oregan not making little bombs of musical orgasm? beginning to think the whole population’s in a goddam band. no doubt this fella when not jiggering about with oscillators and low frequency military weapons, he’s shooting pool with smegma at liz harris’ house. anyway this shit does the same thing lustmord does at his unsettling quietest; manages to be somehow almost not there, yet at the same time make noise like gravity pressing down on every atom in yr misshapen flesh sack. it’s the sound of deep space loneliness or the blackest ocean floor. it’s the sound of ghost towns and a breeze blowing through abandoned factories. y’dig my lazy metaphors? hmmm. influenced by david lynch.  and i suppose there is someting of the background tension drone and the industrial hum of eraserhead here. anyway it’s likely to divide. me?  i love it.  but then zoetrope is one of my favourite things.  listen yrself.  download here.
