Moses Sumney - Self-Help Tape (Live Pitchfork 2017)

I’ve decided to remaster some albums and tracks that have already been released.  Just felt I could give them a different kinda sound...

I import the audio files into the daw and then usually load one or more processors of some kind (vinyl, compressor, desk emulations etc) on the stereo master buss. This is configured to colour, shape the sound. My versions are sometimes lower in vol level than the originals. Some releases are hot to signal, but I'm looking for an inherent sound.

Sometimes I apply some chamber and or hall reverb. 

Miles Davis' 1974 eulogy to Duke Ellington on his passing. 
From the album, Get Up with It.

I decided to add some delay onto the last three minutes of this track, most of which is variating. 
(No changes were made to the track’s production sound).

Although He Loved Him Madly is a single track on an album, I feel that it is an album in its own right.

Remist cover is cover of Get Up with It with remist title added.

Mindspring music presents: Klaada - The Remixes [MSM129]

In a stunning collaborative effort between label veteran Klaada and an array of talented producers bringing forth their own renditions of his tracks, Mindspring Music presents Klaada: The Remixes. Join us as we journey to through fresh visions of familiar psychedelic landscapes.

The collection includes reworks from label veterans and debut contributions from new artists to the Mindspring family.

First up, we settle in for the ride by revisiting compositions from 2019's Antipodes of The Self-Conscious Mind [MSM079].

What better way to kick things off than taking a listen as label veterans Looney Grandpas take us through their groovy, dubby vision of Celestial Temple?

Ramping up the energy from the original rendition of Interdimensional Bamboozle, we have label newcomer Incredible Science taking us through some solid, driving mid-tempo vibes.

Up next we have another label veteran, Gleekch, taking the reins on Voyage Into the Supernatural. Here, we find ourselves immersed in thick Eastern vibes with some exciting twists and turns, adding a fresh voice for the track.

Taking a slightly more relaxed approach to the track Teonanacatl, Leo Nordmann takes us though a playful rendition that maintains the track's original energy while giving it a unique voice.

Veering off the path a bit into a trippier, darker territory, we get to hear label veteran Elishman's rendition of Encounters With Other Levels of Reality.

To finish off the Antipodes remixes, Mindspring welcomes Sol8, giving us their ethno-heavy rendition of Teonanacatl. They offer another fresh and unique perspective on the track.

Moving on, we have two remixed tracks from Klaada's 2018 album Breaking the Cycle [MSM044].

First we have respected psychedelic electronica producer Jedidiah taking charge of Full Moon, giving it a slightly darker, more groovy mid-tempo twist.

Finally, to finish off the journey through the collaborative efforts, Klaada himself presents us with a hidden gem from his repertoire, a rare demo version of Water. This driving, emotionally intelligent track is a great way to bring this release to a close.

We are proud to present this solid collection of great remixes from many talented artists who put their unique spin onto the original releases. Be sure to check out the two original albums available in our catalogue, as there are a great many awesome tracks there to be discovered.

Peter Baumann - The third site (Thomass Jackson Edit)

In 2006, the musical landscape was very different; there was no streaming, “shazam" was a word used by magicians, and "all-access” was not granted to the general public. Social media, as we know it, was in its infancy and today’s constant digital feed of interruptions, notifications, refreshes and “likes” didn't yet exist. Those with a thirst for the overlooked regions of the record store had to quench themselves in the climes of the online world's music blogs, and while that digital community was surely expanding, NYC’s www.lovefingers.org was something different. Not a blog but a daily unfolding mix — no opinions, reviews, or backstories were coupled with the music, no full albums or submissions from the outside — it was a mysterious watering hole in the burgeoning digital desert where rogue tracks from Wally Badarou rubbed shoulders with those of Holger Czukay, the drama of Sylvester juxtaposed with the quirkiness of Hosono, and countless other coveted artists’ unearthed gems melted in one pot, a digital space where $1 thrift store scores could easily breathe the same dusty air as cosmic holy grails, oddball psychedelics and proto-electronica b-sides comfortably cohabited with $300 private-press folk rarities. With 1 track per day, Andrew “Lovefingers” Hogge created a truly democratic and educated selection of music for our aural pleasure, and labelled them ‘Fingertracks' (numbered 001-999).

The community around Lovefingers’ site was a call-to-action, gathering analogous minds and inviting them all to the same party, and on New Years Day 2010, after 999 Fingertracks and a plethora of (now classic) mixes, the site made a final post stating, “That's all folks!” The collective energy pivoted into the ESP Institute, a record label and art platform to champion new artists who emerged from this foundational community and as a catalyst to push the musical dialogue forward. Now, as the ESP Institute approaches its 10-year anniversary, we revisit the significant role www.lovefingers.org played in shaping where we are today.

'Fingertracks Vol : 1' is a snapshot of aural delights that were on offer to those of the leftfield persuasion, all who discovered the site and tuned-in for their daily shot of sonics proper — a lovingly selected handful of records that re-introduce the story of Andrew’s most influential and essential music resource. The track list is classic Lovefingers, an insight into the free-flowing nature of the daily Fingertracks, context-free but connected through creative threads and energies — lo-fi loner jams brush up alongside sleazed-out Italo powerhouses, Greek new age obscurities tussle against overlooked Hawkwind-related cuts — nuggets that may be more known to the heads now, but whose initial excavation can be accredited to Lovefingers’ site, and are essential to its story nonetheless. Rumor has it that this is merely the first volume in a series, so as it turns out, and gladly so, “That’s not all folks!”

Lead single from the "Psycho Romance and Other Spooky Ballads" LP (The Bunker New York BK-041)

Sometimes you want something so badly you don't even know to ask for it in the first place. Like Adam and Eve stumbling upon the fruit of knowledge — or psychedelic techno wizards Donato Dozzy and Retina.it (aka Lino Monaco and Nicola Buono) producing a pitch-perfect, vintage-styled minimal wave record, filled with icy synths, shuddering bass, and anthemic vocals, sounding like a lost gem unearthed from 1982 for the first time.

Except it's not — this record is brand new. The three Italians first came together under the moniker Le Officine Di Efesto, releasing an EP of murky left-field techno on Dozzy's own Spazio Disponibile. They quickly discovered a shared love of classic post-punk, wave, and synthpop, and not long after, Men With Secrets was born.

"Men With Secrets" might sound like an old-school synthpop act you've never heard of, but the name is actually borrowed from Richard Bone, an early New York electronic musician and minimal pop pioneer. The trio's name is but one of their many homages — Cabaret Voltaire, The Human League, New Order, and even Dopplereffekt are additional reference points — but this album is neither imitation nor rehash. It's just as carefully and ingeniously produced as you'd expect a record from Donato Dozzy and Retina.it to be, except it's filled with poppy hooks so brilliantly catchy they'll stick in your head until you hit 'Repeat' and find yourself singing along.

These Men With Secrets clearly have their tongue placed firmly in cheek: check the record's title and artwork for proof. But the music is deadly serious. The drums hit hard, the synths soar to emotional heights, and the vocals intone rhythmically. All of it's coated in the warm fuzz of analogue tape. Not many records on The Bunker New York are as likely to be played in goth clubs as they are by adventurous techno DJs, but then again, this is not your average Bunker New York record.
