Really Feeling…
Posted on | September 5, 2008 |
I am all about this DJ Koze remix, a brilliant send-up of a track that simultaneously cheers on, and pokes fun at, the Great Minimal Backlash of ‘08. The track itself is whip-smart disco dub: anchored by a chunky, rubbery groove, draped in a silky organ drone, and punctuated with sharp kitchen-pot percussion sounds that seem to explicitly reference Ewan Pearson’s semi-famous quote from Feiern. The vocal is the clincher though. When I first heard this tune, I was reminded of a quote that originally referenced LCD Soundsystem’s Losing My Edge: “If you get the joke, then the joke is about you…”
Environ goes from strength to strength. Entropy Reigns currently sits at the “most played all year” slot in my house. Also…new Morgan Geist is out *today*, backed with a couple of smoking Carl Craig mixes. Search for it on the iTunes store if you want to hear it today…I’m waiting for the vinyl to drop.
One from the vaults. I was late to the Spacemen3 party; this was my entry point into their catalog and still stands as my favorite record before these guys split into Spiritualized and Spectrum. I keep threatening to slip “Why Couldn’t I See” into a mix somewhere…we’ll see.
Finally…something fresh off the press: Johan Agebjörn remixes “Grand Ideas” from Lindstrøm’s latest (and again, I can’t say enough good things about Lindstrøm’s latest ). You can get the remix as an exclusive bonus track on iTunes or stream it from Johan’s myspace. This music is the reason why God created arpeggiators.

Yes! I was going to close out the last Rekliner with that Minimal tune, but wound up with a crowd and virtually no heads ;P
Also, that car from the Wraith is probably one of the most influential things I ever saw in my childhood.

Re: a crowd and no heads — that’s a good problem to have, haha!
