Adam Tooze joins me for part two of our discussion on his new book, 'Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World'. We spoke about the Brexit vote, Emmanuel Macron's EU reform agenda, the prospects for a radical Labour government, and why it is that Marxists keep claiming Adam (a self-described liberal) for one of their own.

#23 Adam Tooze on 'Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World' (Part 2)

Written by Berlin-based producer Linus Nicholson, aka Ausschuss, 'Room1' is a decidedly sci-fi take on electroacoustic experimentation — a grainy exodus into wistful neoclassical compositions and data-moshed found-sounds. At times the EP calls to mind Mica Levi’s Under The Skin soundtrack with its icy and foreboding soundscapes. Opener ‘Drown Later’ begins with caustic splashes of ambience, skittish percussion swaying to and fro lazily. Then there are tracks like ‘Blinding Partner’, a looming and sinister presence full of windswept drones and howling incantations.

With the release due on November 2nd, the Milan-based label generously offered up an exclusive preview of title track, a head-spinning mesh of granulated chimes, undulating low-end and gravelly atmospherics.

Recorded in his apartment in Brooklyn, Steve Gunn's offers up a delightful selection of refrains from solo guitar, spinning a tapestry of wandering phrases that slowly burrow into vast dream states. Along with subtle breaths of synth washes, the sound of cars passing and dogs barking outside, Steve's refreshingly human tracks pierce little glimmers of light in the opaque global situation. A real treat for old and new Steve Gunn fans alike.

ORGANUM ELECTRONICS - STILNESS (excerpt1)

We'll have a great experimental music album in August! We have already published this project, but since they are on the international wanted list of the music police, they are forced to hide and constantly change the name of the projects! But you will immediately recognize their music as the handwriting of a Syrian musician, their music draws out all the vitality and all the juices from you !! Meet or rather listen!

Andreas Malm joins PTO to talk about his new book, 'How To Blow Up a Pipeline'. We chatted about why the climate movement is so fiercely committed to nonviolence, how that hinders climate activism, and how the advocates of nonviolence edit the history of popular struggles and liberations movements in order to downplay the importance of the more militant wings of those struggles.

Gavin Mueller joins PTO to talk about his new book, 'Breaking Things at Work: The Luddites Are Right About Why You Hate Your Job'. In the first part of our conversation we talk about the history of the Luddites, why their reputation for conservative technophobia is undeserved and how their struggles to resist the imposition of new deskilling technologies are relevant to the contemporary workplace. We also talked about the problems of leftwing techno-utopianism.
