delicate mixtures of glitch electronica, chamber instruments, computers, analogues and atmospheric vocals. Autechre - Gantz Graf Autechre is an English electronic music group consisting of Rob Brown and Sean Booth, both natives of Rochdale (near Manchester, England). The group are one of the most prominent acts signed with Warp Records, a label known for its pioneering electronic music artists. Some journalists and fans consider Autechre to be a paragon of IDM, though Brown and Booth themselves do not consider their sound to belong to any genre. Boards of Canada (BOC) - Aquarius Boards of Canada is an electronic music duo from Scotland, composed of brothers Michael Sandison (b. 10 June 1969) and Marcus Eoin Sandison (b. 21 September 1970).

shoegaze, dream-pop: be on stage, stare at the floor

By |2016-01-12T21:11:31+02:00December 14th, 2007|music|0 Comments

Shoegaze is a genre of late '80s and early '90s British indie rock, named after the bands' motionless performing style, where they stood on stage and stared at the floor while they played. But shoegaze wasn't about visuals -- it was about pure sound.

In an interview in the January/February 2007 issue of Magnet, Shields claimed that My Bloody Valentine will record another album "100%" . . . "unless we die or something." On November 15th 2007, My Bloody Valentine announced three upcoming live gigs in the UK for 2008. On Friday 20th June they will play at The Roundhouse in London, on Saturday 28th June they play the Apollo in Manchester, and on Wednesday 2nd July they will play at Barrowlands in Glasgow. The shows sold out respectively in under 1 minute, 6 and 15 minutes and, as a consequence of this, the band added two further London shows at the Roundhouse on Saturday 21th and Sunday 22nd of June, as well as an extra date in Manchester and an extra date in Glasgow.

pet shop boys

By |2017-12-04T20:47:58+02:00August 18th, 2006|music|0 Comments

Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide (1987) Postmodern ironists cloaked behind a veil of buoyantly melodic and lushly romantic synth pop confections, the Pet Shop Boys' cheeky, smart, and utterly danceable music established them among the most commercially and critically successful groups of their era. Always remaining one step ahead of their contemporaries, the British duo navigated the constantly shifting landscape of modern dance-pop with rare grace and intelligence, moving easily from disco to house to techno with their own distinctive image remaining completely intact. Satiric and irreverent -- yet somehow strangely affecting -- the Pet Shop Boys transcended the seeming disposability of their craft, offering wry and thoughtful cultural commentary communicated by the Morse code of au courant synth washes and drum-machine rhythms. Pet Shop Boys formed in London in August 1981 when vocalist Neil Tennant (a former editor at Marvel Comics who later gained some notoriety as a journalist [...]
