Here is music directed at  film and TV listings that branches out to many corners of the globe and historical periods hence the name Tentacles. 

Cutting Diamonds (Japanese koto board zither, Shakuhachi bamboo flute, taiko drums, and gongs)

A remix of our song River of Bhangra. A generation of young people from India who grew up in England were embarassed by their parents favorite film music from Bollywood but ultimately discovered they could remix it to find their own Indian identities. That's how the style of Bangra was created.

John Balance and Peter Christopherson (ex-members of such famous acts as 23 Skidoo and Current 93) were a part of the notorious Psychic TV before creating Coil in 1983. Inspired by ritual practice, transformation, and musical exploration, Coil left their indelible mark on several generations of musicians and listeners. Their musical journeys, oftentimes serene, impulsive, or cinematic, always subscribed to the counter currents, as they ceaselessly opened new possibilities - as timeless as they were modern. This recording, never released before, featured Christopherson and longtime associate Thighpaulsandra. A great loss for music,  both Christopherson and Balance have since passed away.

M15.003 - Coil Live @ MUTEK 2003

15 years ago the Nortec Collective spearheaded a daring fusion of indigenous Tijuana norteño music and 21st-century technology (norteño + techno = nortec). They’ve won Latin Grammy awards, toured the world and contributed massively to the evolution of contemporary Mexican electronic music. In the incarnation that visited MUTEK in 2009, members Bostich and Fussible were joined on stage by a band that mixed tuba, accordion and ipads. They essentially brought the house down at the end of their set with a huge contingent of Mexicans in attendance waving flags and chanting MEXICO for a full 5 minutes after they finished.
