Bloc Party – Flux (JFK Remix) 

 

 

 

NASA records the sounds of Saturn 

NASA’s head engineers in their Audio Department:Aphex Twin – WindowlickerDaft Punk – Touch It / TechnologicPara One – J’aimerias Bien 

Apparently Windowlicker was the track that inspired Daft Punk to write Discovery, as it showed the infinite possibilities within electronic music. This live version of Technoligic is very reminiscent of Aphex Twin with the laser beam like synth sounds and of course robotic vox. Para One is going to be the next Aphex Twin so everyone take note and watch out. 

 

A brief description of Para One’s research techniques in communicating with the cosmos and cultivating the invisible that is Space:

Daft Punk – Human After All / Together – “Together” / “One More Time (reprise)” / Stardust – “Music Sounds Better with You” – Encore in Mexico City – 10.31.2007

Sébastien Tellier has been likened to the famous Todd Rundgren, with his versatility and abilty to grasp and fuse pop music with extreme virtuosity. He reminds me of Vincent Gallo meets Jon Brion and of course Serge Gainsbourg. Here is the fantastic track that apparently Radiohead ripped off on “Reckoner”. The famous Tony Allen, Fela Kuti’s drummer plays drums on this track as well as on Sébastien Tellier’s album, Politics, he beat Damon Albarn, take that The Good, the Bad and the Queen. Take note of the gorgeous and lush strings that work so well with the drums and bass.

Sebastien Tellier – La Ritournelle

Sébastien Tellier – Sexual Sportswear

Daft Punk used this song in Electroma. It reminds me of King Crimson/Vincent Gallo with the heavy use of mellotron.Sébastien Tellier – Universe

The official video for Sébastien Tellier – La Ritournelle (Mr. Dan’s Mix) by director Ace Norton, who also directed the new Simian Mobile Disco video for Hustler.

And finally the one and only, “African James Brown”, Mr. Fela Kuti featuring Cream’s Ginger Baker:Fela Kuti & Ginger Baker – Ye Ye De Smell

The score for Risky Business is 80s epic synth greatness courtesy of Mr. Edgar Froese & Tangerine Dream. This is Tangerine Dream’s most commercial movie score for they have scored over sixty-five other films as well as released over a hundred albums.

Here is my favorite track off the soundtrack, very Steve Reich:Tangerine Dream – Love On A Real Train

These are some Tangerine Dream-esque sounding tracks. John Frusciante said that this song is directly influenced by Edgar Froese’s solo album, Epsilon In Malaysian Pale.John Frusciante – 23 Go Into End

Guy-Man from Daft Punk helped produce this trackSebastien Tellier – Sexual Sportswear

Ratatat.

My favorite Ratatat track, the harmonized gutiar and organ is so metal. It is also Thomas Bangalter’s favorite track by them which is why he spun it at the Louis Vuitton fashion show.

Ratatat – Lex

When Annie Met Daft Punk

This Ratatat track reminds me of Neu!’s Michael Rother’s solo music meets The Fucking Champs.Ratatat – Germany To Germany

The illest Ratatat remix.Notorious B.I.G. – Party and Bullshit

Dr. Dre is finishing up his “final” album, Detox and is planning to release it June 2008. He apparently spent 72 hours straight making beats. He is now working on the new Eminem and plans to lift weights, make beats, and spend time with his family. OG.

Simian Mobile Disco’s new Vid for “Hustler”, it is MSTRKRFT’s Easy Love meets Aphex Twin’s Windowlicker. Sexy.
