Thanks for another great recommendation. I hadn’t seen this one mentioned anywhere

O. - the band - are actually pretty amazing. Saw them live at a festival in 2022 when they didn’t even have any music out yet. It was insane!

Okay cool, I’ll check it out!

[@johnnyyeshno5230]

Mu-ziq is as good as AFX to me. Lunatic Harness and In Pine Effect are 2 of my all time favorite electronic records - Kid Spatula too. I would be lying if I said I kept up with him, but if you think it’s a return to form I’ll definitely check it out.

Been a Mike P fan for years - saw him play live with Vibert and Aphex in 96. Three electronic titans on the same night! Still got to pick up Grush. My fave is the Slag Boon Van Loon comp he did with Speedy J. I bought the SAWII expanded box too. Wasn’t 100% sure at first because I think the extra’s are very thin on the ground. I effectively paid over £250 for a box! The rhubarb orc track seems a bit out of place - there’s several other SAWII era tracks he could’ve included - Red Calx being one of them. Maybe they’ll be on the 50th anniversary! Don’t want to sound bitter - I’m still glad it’s getting reissued as the original brown vinyl sounds shite (probably why he chose brown knowing RDJ). What you think of the lesser known IDM artists such as Bola, Jega, Ovuca,, Seefeel, Global Goon, Ceephax, Drexciya etc? I couldn’t get enough of them back then and I jump into it a lot even now - most of it sounds timeless.

I love all those other names you mentioned, especially Bola, Seefeel and Drexciya. I've got all of their stuff. I've thought about doing a video on those artists but you'd be the only one who'd watch! I think I'll definitely do one on Mark Clifford though, I feel like that might reach a certain audience.

@@occasionalfeelgood23would love to hear your opinion of Seefeel. They’re a special outfit to me and the music gives me strong sentimental desires for the mid 90’s time. For me they represent a step across from the early 90s shoegaze ethos into the more ambient techno period of Aphex Twin. The SAWII stuff mixed with My Bloody Valentine. It’s a pretty unique result and nothing else quite sounds like those early Seefeel records. I didn’t like their last 2011 album though as it lacked that style and didn’t keep my interest at all. Too Pure was a great label & sorely missed.

@@occasionalfeelgood23Please do a Seefeel video! I will be the “second viewer” for sure! I was lucky to see them in 2019.
