surprised they're getting into the minimal wave game. doesn't seem black enough for them

The minimal wave comp shall be dope. Stones Throw mantra has always been from what I have seen- "We put out what we like".

what is "minimal wave"?
― IRL moderator (The Reverend), Wednesday, 11 November 2009 19:12 (fourteen years ago) link
i guess i meant more minimal synth. it's like minimal, obscure new wave. lots belgian acts. i guess Minimal Wave is a label putting out new and reissues of this kinda stuff.
this was released on minimal wave. so dope

Quality vinyl prints w/ small runs + fetish tendencies maybe? xp

the new james pants is great. sounds like a mixture of ariel pink and john maus. also, he is channeling some strange religious vibe, i can tell he has been listening to a lot of the christian psych stuff ( dr hooker, azitis) and somehow mixing that with his usual electro/soul/post punk tendencies. its fucked up in a good way...i think the people who expect more of the last record the quirky hip/hop/party/electro stuff will def hate it... he's gone somewhere else with this one.

hope you're right about the Ethiopium, I wanted to like the Oxperiments album but it was pretty arduous. Couple good beats though. When a couple stonesthrow ppl + cut chemist opened for Mulatu this year, they were all fuckin great.

Oscar you are making it sound like the new album takes after the Psychick Almanack mixtape which is making me VERY excited

guess paul whites plan to release limited edition albums/singles full of cut-n-paste samples (e.g)to get attention paid off then.
― mark e, Tuesday, 9 November 2010 15:56 (thirteen years ago) link
lol I'm not sure it "paid off" given that the above is a free podcast
― honkin' on joey kramer (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Tuesday, 9 November 2010 16:02 (thirteen years ago) link
no, but an increase in profile via stones throw is not going to hurt.i can definitely see the ST fans loving pauls production style.

Got word recently that Stones Throw worked out a deal to put together a comp from Little Rock's True Soul Records. I'm so happy about this. Will finlly get to hear the catalog without chancing upon the (way less than) occasional 45 in the local Savers. You'd think being here in Little Rock it'd be easier to come across this stuff.

Damn that Paul white podcast is so good. The Todd rundgren section was unbelievably beautiful

In "why is this on Stone's Throw" news, they're putting out the Anika album apparently. Which is produced by the Portishead guy. It sounds like Nico singing over ESG acetates.

And she covers "Masters of War" and "Terry," one of those "why did my boyfriend have to die on his motorcycle" tunes originally by Twinkle.

wasnt feeling the j rocc album. sounded like a bunch of fake dj shadow tracks - not at all what i expected from j rocc as it just wasnt very funky really (liked play this too a bit though). the one sampling nas was great, and the very last track was great. the rest of it though, nah. sounded quite tired. shame as hes such a great dj.

Georgia Anne Muldrow's new album drops in March with Madlib producing. First time he's produced a female artist too, I believe.
― Frozen_Warnings, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 14:50 (twelve years ago) link
well he produced a few tracks for NuAmerykah pt. 1
still, this might be something to look out for!
