so many terrible records

but it did lead me to this...

im a fan of the buddha bar album. It is simply called "Buddha Bar". very bonobo-esque. has Kid Moxie - shadow heart remix on it. sexy ish.

it's on spotify now

has been for a few years. generally any buddha/ritual/downtempo you can find is good on there.

i'm also planning to listen to the 2019 atomic skunk lp.

In basic terms, you can code a plentiful amount of things into Alexa with electronics of the brain/flexible commands/notation language.

Oliver Coates

Yo Statto, you'll enjoy this musician. October 2018 issue.

Next to the Sarah Davachi review in the Oren Ambarchi issue, you'll find a review for Oliver Coates - "Shelley's On Zenn-La".
For a stream, Spotify. It's intelligent dnb and dub.
The review is good, talking about references and such, but the actual music surpasses it. Better and better. 
The music is a lush cross between AFX and BOC; Arpanet and Global Communication.
Full of torque and muscularly flexible musical tissue.
Best track: "Perfect Apple With Silver Mark".

[Statto]

and my round up for 2019 is now done...
https://subvertcentral.blogspot.com/2020...-2019.html

Reads greater than most of my offal, my good friend...and by the way the recent Twitter post didn't have you in mind...that was directed at the marketing tedium of so-called experts ambient "limited editions"

Everyone, if you only read one of the SC Blogspot extractions in the last 12 months, read Stattos. Really well done, presented and of course totally unbiased. Btw Jon, don't feel paranoid or pressured to follow me. SC mainstay now is best split around places stealthily IMO.

I am going to listen to as much as possible of this stuff BTW. I have literally millions of promos left untouched from first read - as in coming into contact with them; the reason I struggle to get back is because of our time issue:

Tamaryn - Cranekiss LP (Spotify, Bandcamp, YouTube)

Recommended, Jon!

I do not think I have recommended this to you before specifically.

Post-punk kind of vibe, mixed with darkwave and ebm.

"Sugar Fix" is a real trip of a tune.

In SubVersion news, there is a new post from me, about altruism.

Eno was always heavily into that I believe...at least from recalling Wire writer David Toop's Ocean Of Sound.

I cannot be bothered to write another book this year...it was transferred pre-edit.

All I'm left with is the entire pre-draft and a illustrious email text that is a total head-bender to trawl through.
