BMCDR001 - A1 BLACK GREEK ENERGY

Following a return to the rave here is a mostly-vinyl mix for feet to show we STILL don't need this fascist groove thang: we need a better thang, this thang. Aired on TUUUNs, Dublin Digital Radio 12.10.22.

Linton Kwesi Johnson – 'Inglan Is a Bitch’. I gave a paper once@uni of The Gambia. LKJ spoke & never used words of colour, just 'us/them', just response to dominant culture. Had a de-centring & de-colonising effect. 

Ligeti – Lux Aeterna. I found this record on the floor once in Upper Clapton. Along ton of others. Big haul. 

Mark Ernestus vs. Konono No.1 – Masikulu Rhythm. Got this in Berlin. Ruff groove.

Dungeon Acid – Guidance. Still want some clothes by Jean Louis. One of these days.  

Jeff Mills – Global Factor. Me in 2013: ‘Russ, I want to play the desk and have these hard pans’. ‘Russ: Sime, it’s Jeff, it’s JUST JEFF’. @russellhaswell 

Florian Hecker - ‘Eva-Tone Sound Sheet Modulator (ACID, magazine, 24 October 2013)  Blue flexidisc free with the mag. 

Bunker - ‘3092’ (UNIVAG). Bought me some Bunker acid after @boomkat likened one of mine to it. V glad I did. All tracks on this 12” are good. 

Consumer Electronics – Co-opted. If there was one track that sums up the 2011 uk ‘coalition’, the start of austerity, a new age of uk death-eating, this be the anthem. 

John Cooper Clarke – Get Back on Drugs You Fat Fuck. Good ol’ JCC. 

Ugandan Speed Trials - 1/2, you know. 

Surgeon – Move. A useful imperative verb in the current climate @Tony_Surgeon and a mighty bounce from the 90s. 

Crash Course in Science – Carboard Lamb. Well it’s not Crash Bandicoot. 

Missing Channel – Atomic Whirlpool/This is the Missing Channel. The Vision.

@russellhaswell – Tongue Dancer ’85.

The Martian – Star Dancer.

@James_Ruskin – After-Dark. Blue print gear lushness. 

@James_Ruskin - Work (Steve Rachmad remix), Heard Sterac play this at @NEIGHBOURHOOD_ big up my friend who took me and who located this track. Recorded it on my phone which was stolen after AE friday @BarbicanCentre

Jeff Mills – 4 Art.

Drexciya – Species of the Pod. 

The Heaven 17 – (We Don’t Need) This Fascist Groove Thang.

Novoline – Burning Down the House. He’s gone to piddle. In the best way.

Keston Sutherland – Binnsclagg. This tape he did with Sean. Must have been fun.

The Mekons – Where Were You? Good question, Mr Curtis.

James Joyce – Molly Bloom’s Soliloquy. Time for a Guinness, lads.

Sonic Poetics mix 2: Blood Music - State Of The Nation Address A Mix For TUUUN's 2022

We have on this earth what makes life worth living

the aroma of bread at dawn

a woman’s opinion of men

the works of Aeschylus

the beginnings of love

grass on a stone

mothers who live on a flute’s sigh

and the invaders’ fear of memories

we have on this earth what makes life worth living

the waning days of dawn

a woman leaving forty in full blossom

the hour of sunlight in prison

a cloud resembling a pack of creatures

the applause of a people for those who face their end with a smile

and the tyrants’ fear of songs

we have on this earth what makes life worth living

on this earth, the lady of earth

the mother of all beginnings

the mother of all endings

she was called Palestine

she came to be called Palestine

o lady, beause you are my lady

I am worthy of life

Serge Phases On This Earth

MELON MAGIC MIX 3/6/2015

BM remix of 'Death's Head Tattoo'. Mark Lanegan.

Punditry: 

"The final track on the EP is a heavily overloaded version of ‘Death’s head tattoo’ courtesy of Blood Music that is so shot through with blistering sonic noise that it brings to mind the coruscating remixes that Atari Teenage Riot engaged in in the early 00’s. Mercifully short, it takes the subtle art-rock edge of the original and expands it into an aural nightmare that is borderline unlistenable."

"It makes me want to give blood".

"Death’s Head Tattoo is rendered as a barely listenable noise piece with clanking percussion and whining static."

"Blood Music sees us out with an interpretation of ‘Death’s Head Tattoo’ that verges of the interestingly nightmarish; voice cut up and scattered minimally across a single-chord remnant of Marshall’s original music.  It’s by far the most discomforting track on the record, and certain to be the most divisive.  That said, it is something that fits perfectly in the collective ethos of both Gargoyle and this companion."

"I can't stop listening to Blood Music's 'Falling Percussion Dub' of Death's Head Tattoo."

"Death’s Head Tattoo’ is reduced to little more than an art noise tone poem... But to be fair, I have a pronounced aversion to 'dance music'. It’s always been the musical equivalent of indigestion if you ask me."

Death's Head Tattoo by Mark Lanegan (BLOOD MUSIC - Falling Percussion Dub )
