gordon made a couple of rare recordings besides the great ch.the double album: in this world, macbeth, a forgoten film track.
i have some of those release in my basement, the labels that appear on those recordings are: touched, midnight music.
talking about ch. this record reminds me a bottle of rare old j&b whiskey. you can't hear it everyday, and when you hear it, it moves you away.
i loved the tracks from ch:memories of skin and snowthe ghost never smiles
i'm realy looking forward to explore some new recordings touch by the rare voice and style of gordon.

"it's luxury" would be on my "crucial gothboy jams of the mid-eighties" mix
right in between a pre First & Last & Always b-side and "In this Glass House"

I don't like Cindytalk but I like talking about Cindytalk because it reminds me of teenagerhood. Also I can almost see that LP cover in my mind.

the one thing I dislike about talking about this kinda music is that it makes me feel like I'm doing the young-in-the-eighties version of talking about how fucking great Clapton was

no vocals on the new album!
― scott seward, Thursday, 12 November 2009 17:58 (fourteen years ago) link
this album has really grown on me. its something that definitely benefits from repeated listenings. the crackle of my soul, that is.

What does it say about me, and the rest of the world, that the music of Cindytalk relaxes me? Whatever. It’s chilling me out. That’s what matters.
I’ve had the privilege of going absolutely batshit insane… what is it now? A couple of times in my life. The first time it happened, I was on a bus back to Atlanta after a week’s vacation, somewhere between Chicago and Indianapolis, massively hungover from a night of hard boozing with my little brother, with an angry kid kicking the back of my seat. My dub of my brother’s Ol’ Dirty Bastard CD was just pissing me off. So I put on God and Beast by Non, and drifted into a peaceful sleep.
This weekend, I went nuts again. And, as I live and breathe, I would not have survived it without this new shit from Cindytalk. When I’m healthy, I like music. When I go nuts, I dig noise.
Enough about me. Let’s talk about Gordon Sharp, a guy who may or may not be a dude, the guy who, basically, is Cindytalk, In preparation for writing this review, I downloaded his ’09 release, The Crackle of My Soul, and withstood it a few times. Not my thing. Gave me a headache. So what happened?
Gordon Sharp dug up a real winner. I am seriously chilled out right now. This clicking in the background of “Guts of London” is cheering me up. And I will be awake for work tomorrow. Or I’ve finally lost it. Which I forever refuse to admit.
Why does “We Are Without Words” remind me of my own mother’s heartbeat? Why does “The Eighth Sea” relax me like mediating by the Pacific Ocean? How is Up Here in the Clouds this asshole’s version of new age music? This is awkward. I’m going to bed.

Hmm. I need that.
Listening to In This World for the first time as the rain falls...
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 25 October 2010 04:38 (thirteen years ago) link
since nobody seemed interested in talking about it on the Mego thread, I might as well reiterate here just how amazing Up Here In The Clouds is. hypnotic ghost ambient
