Hawaiian Soil
The sounds of Arthur Lyman recorded in Henry J. Kaiser's Aluminum Dome, outside the Hawaiian Village Hotel in Honolulu, contrasted the native and the modern. The group, their instruments of sound, and their music, are native, pulsatingly primitive, often eerie. The Aluminum Dome is unmistakably modern, the product of 20th centuryt construction genius. Arthur Lyman plays vibes, marimba, and percussions of all kinds, having learned from his Hawaiian father since age 6. Joh Kramer plays bass, ukelele, guitar, flute, clarinet and percussions. Alan Soares is pianist, plays celeste, gutar and percussions. Harold Chang is a percussion virtuoso, and plays xylophone. The bird calss heard are from actual birds, with some imitative calls by Lyman and Kramer. Arthur Lyman's group entertains enthusiastic listeners in the Tiara Room at the Hawaiian Village Hotel where they now appear nightly.
Kaiser's Aluminum Dome is a half-sphere, seating about 1,500 persons, is used for live entertainment and movie showings. Its ingenious simplicity and structural design and ideal sound form suggest its wider use for low cost auditoriums of pleasing space age appearance. We chose this place for our recording because the half shape has no "peaks" and allows a pleasing "easy" sound reproduction with natural room acoustical reverberation. As you listen you will hear the unique effects produced by moving percussions, giving a certain sound perspective which intrigues. Oh, yes, the ocean sounds here are real pacific salt water waves. Native Cries are well, weird but real. - Original Liner Notes; 1958
Grabbed this (near mint) for 50 cents a couple weeks back at Columbus. To my knowledge this is the liner notes' first time online.

night time, deep space beat transmissions.
a soundtrack for getting lost in strange and beautiful zones of the internet.
a soundtrack to a dreamt-up VHS anime.
a soundtrack to a party held in the abandoned levels of old PC shooters.

Third Wave
Recently put together my remix of Work Drug's awesome track Third Wave. Check it out on the c sides bandcamp.
Might as well give the others a spin as well, some pretty solid competition in here.

ALSO! If you are in the South Jersey/philly area come out to Cricket City for the Jacking Lantern bassment party tonight, the 22nd. c sides on the decks from dusk till dawn, starting off with a heavy hand on some elemental glitch beats and taking it deep into night time with some cunty house stompers. The place looks awesome, we have a smoke machine, strobes, blacklights, giant jack o' lanterns and everything you would EVER want at a house party, come out! eonphader at hotmail.com for details.

Hunt That
Not often can it be said that an album really cuts off from the regular process of association and just melts your mind. A few field studies have lead to evidence of Paper Light's supposed detoxifying properties, primarily in the psycho-emotive context. That's not saying that it won't knock out a few physical clogs if it's loud enough. Mystery synths rise and sink back, pierced with distant, bucolic guitar and the occasional half-imagined holler. A warm fur covers it all, wrapping up each piece into an organic audio 'being'. Tracks like the closer Our Friend the Beach act as a subtle anthem for leaving the inkwell open.

Erth
Eklin is an awesome Dutch band that really hops the cracks of most genres. On a really shallow level one might say they sound like a trip hop band raised on kraut- smooth, definitely downtempo, fairly devoid of an electronic beat and lubricated with lush instrument sounds and female vocals. Would love to see them play at a festival sometime, preferably in the later hours. Got my tape in the mail today, and as I expected, the mp3's were just a tease. Night People still has some, if you want to get a bit deeper into this well crafted, unique album the cassette is highly recommended.
