"The title is an obvious reference to the song "time travel" by the band blouse. Here though it is taken out of context and used as a reference to the current state of the music industry. Everything has gone digital, whether an iTunes download or a stream from a cloud somewhere but people are missing what's tangible. They miss liner notes, they miss artwork, they miss making mixes for their friends (whether on CD or cassette). Therefore people are gravitating more towards vinyl and even cassette. That being said, I wanted to merge the two worlds. I wanted to give the illusion of something tangible even though this will be heard on soundcloud or some form of digital music player. in the middle of the mix you can hear someone flipping the tape over. Even the first track has a warble to it as if it were recorded onto tape and then stored in a closet somewhere for decades. The opening track is from the 60's even, thus solidifying that illusion and telling a story without explaining verbatim. by the second track the warble blends in with the clarity of digital. But the tape hiss can be heard throughout the entirety of the mix. Even though some of these tracks may be new to listeners, I wanted to give them a familiarity. And for posterity I should note that none of the music on the mix was ever actually recorded to tape. It is all fabricated. an experiment in juxtaposition. 
enjoy.

WAVcast 7 // Skeleton Hands - I Was In The Future Yesterday

Before making his Cure debut with Disintegration (arguably one of the best albums ever recorded by the band and maybe of that time period), Roger grew up in a musical household that prepared him for a professional career as a musician playing for popular new wave bands such as The Thompson Twins and Psychedelic Furs. 

Since 2006's "The Truth In Me", he has solidly established himself as a solo musician. Actively touring worldwide, Roger was even part of one of the biggest European alternative festivals in 2011, Wave Gotik Treffen. After his last stripped down minimal release in 2010, "Piano Formations"  we eagerly await new material and collaborations. Here is his inspired mix for Squarewav.

"Cervello Elettronico is a kind of music virus, which I have been inflected with since the official debut album “Negate The Instigator” (2007). The sophisticated and intelligent electro-minimalism of this artist was like a revelation to me. David Christian is an artist taking a distance with established electronic standards. He perfectly knows how to compose on the edge between electronic- and industrial music. He’s composing near the fields of IDM, but in the end it’s rather impossible to label him under one established style. The sound appears to be the perfect hybrid from different influences.

Based in Los Angeles, The Present Moment achieves a stunning hybridization and an infectious blend of dense cold-wave’s electro grooves, cyclical droning interferences, vigorous epic industrialism, dolorous nocturne-goth weirdness superbly sustained by a seductive eighties flavor. Ritualistic in nature, the whole musical trip offers a dark, delightful and rather unique breathtaking atmosphere, sometimes revealing enthralling lysergic electro-ambiences. The Present Moment is situated in an in-between and non stabilized musical region which authorizes astonishing connections.

Led Er Est emerged from a series of jam sessions that core members Shawn O’Sullivan and Sam De La Rosa started having in early 2007, using bass guitar, some cheap drum machines, and synths. They were inspired to record music largely by ’70s synth prog, and ’80s lo-fi electronic and industrial music. They recorded a number of songs at friend Will Burnett’s studio that fall. Their first officially released track was on the Wierd Records compilation, Analogue Electronic Music Vol II. Owen Hutchinson joined the band for their first live show at the Wierd party that December. In January of 2008, they released their first 7-inch, a split with Excepter member Jon Porkchop aka SSPS.

Throughout 2008 and 2009 they self-recorded their first album, Dust on Common, which Wierd Records released in Nov. of 2009. In spring of 2010, they toured Europe with Xeno and Oaklander, playing shows in the UK, Belgium, Germany, the Czech Republic, and Italy. Subsequently they released a 7-inch and then the May EP on Captured Tracks. Led Er Est did a brief west coast run with Soft Moon last fall and just played SXSW. On stage and in the studio Led Er Est create a thick wall of atmospheric soundscapes using vintage analog recording devices, samplers, and synths using sci-fi soundtracks and cold wave as reference points.
