The second in my new series of half hour mixes based around a single artist. Last week was Mogwai, this week brings Daniel Avery and just over thirty minutes of music from the last couple of years. Daniel's sound has evolved into a ghostly, emotive but very physical ambient/ industrial/ techno. Synths, drum machines, FX and bottomless, cavernous echo with melodies dancing about over the drones and rhythms. I can't recommend his music highly enough- the albums Love + Light and Together In Static, his collaboration with Alessandro Cortini and the Lone Swordsman and other single releases are all essential.
Tracklist
- Together In Static
- Illusion Of Time (Teodor Wolgers rework)
- Petrol Blue
- Lone Swordsman (Chris Carter Remix)
- Into The Voice Of Stillness
- A Story In E5
- Midnight Sun
- Lone Swordsman
I'm trapped in the sensory Hell of a softplay for the next hour, with the youngest and his pal. This will definitely help get me through.
ReplyDeleteThat was a lovely half hour, I'll fill the next half hour with another listen to the Smokebelch/Come Together mix.
ReplyDeleteI don't miss the days of softplay hell I must say. You've got an hour of good music there to soften the blows.
ReplyDeleteThree listens in and what can I say? A stunning selection, Adam, that draws you in in the first few seconds and gently but persistently refuses to let go for the next half hour. Absolutely wonderful.
