Minimalist Terry Riley recorded LPs using this system (he called it 'time-lag accumulator') and played all-night solo concerts. In the seventies, the technology was rediscovered by Brian Eno - he used the time-lag accumulator to create the first works of the new genre 'ambient music' and, together with Robert Fripp, to produce several albums of 'Frippertronics' music." We'll be playing track 2, "Poppy Nogood And The Phantom Band" (21:38), and then, if the interval allows, some of the title track. http://terryriley.com . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

On his latest "In Favour of More Permanent Pleasures", Bloor captures the hidden beauty of metal and reveals a music that we rarely have the opportunity to hear. Haunting and beguiling, the songs that appear on this release create a soundscape of intense darkness made all the more ominous by it's organic sensibilities. Indeed the instruments seem to have a life of their own, and one can't help but imagine that the music created is the sound of secrets being shared with the listener. "In Favour of More Permanent Pleasures" comes highly recommended and is now available through ping things, along with a wide variety of other releases by Alan Bloor performing as both Pholde and Knurl.
