right i promise not to wreck this thread with youtubes - i'll be selective - for starters, you must know this one, or do you? maybe the best house record ever - at least for the last year or two this is my feeling.

I love this album (Flora Purim).
I do not have any meaningful frames of reference for latin jazz fusion but/so in its odd mixture of languidness and tense frenetic nervousness it weirdly reminds me of The Royal Scam.
"Why I'm Alone" is such a beautiful closer, I love the percussion whisking across the endless summer lawns of Flora's regret.
More thoughts to follow.

nb. maybe I just mean that it sounds like a sprinkler but I prefer the more melodramatic reading.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 28 April 2015 13:01 (nine years ago) link
Still listening to this. I love Flora's outer vocals ("Five-Four"!) but also fake-plush fusionism of the music, esp. the middle stretch of soft jazz-pop on "Walking Away" and "I Don't Know".
What else should I check like this?
― Tim F, Tuesday, 5 May 2015 13:17 (nine years ago) link
I like-not-love The Fall's Slates, at least so far. I feel like maybe the issue here is that the songs seem just on the verge of becoming really compelling rhythmically but never quite do, it just kinda chugs away in this kind a saurkrockabilly fashion with Mark snarling on top. I think if it either went closer to some kind of rhythmic trance (in any style that goes for that) I'd probably more fascinated by it? It's certainly fun though.
― Tim F, Monday, 18 May 2015 12:21 (nine years ago) link
Lol based on that I ws just abt to recommend This Nation's Saving Grace and The Infotainment Scan before I checked upthread. You might like Middle Class Revolt tho, followup to IS
― sonic thedgehod (albvivertine), Monday, 18 May 2015 12:26 (nine years ago) link
Yeah I enjoy those albums more than I enjoy this but then I've spent more time with them obv, especially Infotainment Scam. Should check Middle Class Revolt.

Someone should start a version of this thread for me, because I'm unemployed right now and have plenty of time to listen to all yr records.

I got stuck on the not being able to source the required listening material (though working sixty hour weeks is not irrelevant).

i believe tim will be familiar with that track from the excellent eskimo vol. 2 mix
― the late great, Wednesday, 25 November 2015 07:43 (eight years ago) link
Love this song but I don't actually have eskimo vol. 2! Those comps are very hard to find. I do have Vol. 3 (and Serie Noire Vol. 2 and the first Culture Club comp and some later comps) but never stumbled across vol. 1 or 2 or Summermadnessaftersun or whatever it's called.
― Tim F, Wednesday, 25 November 2015 22:22 (eight years ago) link
eskimo volume 2 is so good. now that i think of it im sort of half-worried that i might have it sitting in a stack of records in my parents house (thousands of miles away) having never returned it to a friend of mine who i borrowed it from circa 2008.

i sense that bijou herbacious neo-soul jazzy vibes from oz have crossed some kind of rubicon this year, or are about to. i can imagine the widening yuppie hegemony, brit empire hand-me-down snobbery, ghastly intensity of the pioneering cafe culture, horrible trite fusion cuisine etc but what else do you have to tell me about it

yeah, but the wave since them. like 30/70 collective, jordan rakei, wallace gollan
maybe also relevant is a post-disclosure zero7 soulection 90s electronica thing with idk flume and stuff?
i'm soft for some of it in undemanding private but was mainly just wondering about irl corroboration if any

xpost this all sounds like stuff that would be very big (not actually big, but you know) here, but apart from 30/70 Collective's "The Strut" and "Space" (good fake Quadron, that last one) (and Flume obv) I'm not familiar with any of it. Not out of any particular distaste but it's an infrastructure I'm not plugged into.
That said I could make some educated guesses about that infrastructure: modern funk/soul shows on 3RRR, live performances at low-key outside festivals at the Coburg Velodrome and Catani Gardens (possibly untrue but it feels correct), sales through Northside Records, everyone quietly wondering just how much they need to normalise their post-dilla sound in order to make a real splash.
And yes, also all those negative connotations but I'm sufficiently shallow upper middle class myself now that it doesn't bother me so much as demand too little while not being so close to my aesthetic pleasure centres as to be something I actively seek out for comfort. But it's not like there's anything else which seems more exciting right now.
