Drone to my ears
At the end of last week I got big packet from germany containing some drone. 6 x 10″ of Subtantia Innominata and then a couple of 7″. I actually ordered just two 7″, Aidan Baker’s Same River Twice and Pavel Grabowski’s Cirr’s Song, both really great. But I also got a couple of promo 7″ along which was nice.
So I haven’t listened them all too well yet since on the same packet was also 6 cd’s of Aidan Baker, but already I can say something. First clear thing is that all those 7″ are much nicer than most of 10″ Thise means I have to look into getting more of those 7″ from drone rec. Some of those 10″ are probably growing to be really good. Like Daniel Menche’s Radiant Blood and Noise-maker’s fifes Zona Incerta and some are maybe not that great, like RWL’s Contours Imaginaires. Then again at this point I shouldn’t make too big statements. What I do know is that Delphium’s Snowhill-X ep sounded really nice as well as Yui Onodera’s Synergetics
Then from Aidan I got Thoughspan which I think should also be in Top 2007. Also got Sea Swells a bit…, The taste of summer on your skin, Dance of lonely molecules, At the base of the mind is coiled a serpent and Oneiromancer (2cd version). From those I have really gotten through Thoughspan, Sea Swells a bit… and the taste of summer on your skin and right now I like them all. Just checked Aidan discography the other day (solo discography that is) and it’s huge. A lot of releases small cd or cd-r prints sold out long time ago. So unfair. But luckily maybe I can find them drifting through the net. Or maybe I can just write to him if he knows a way to get some of those in form or another.
BTW Nadja/Aidan is doing a release in Subtantia Innominata series and very soon should be out the vinyl version of Thaumogenesis a must. Lot of stuff, like always.
OK, I’ll go and listen some more drone.
Good night and good luck to you all.
