This is my first post, so iām gonna keep it short and sweet: Distinct, electronic music is my jam rn. And mr. stone has my calling card. Slowed, warped samples covered in sheets of effects and synths rising and fallinā¦. One track even sound like a Philip Glass+Kraftwerk combo. The album touches on such a specific nostalgia, or longing feeling. Itās hard to describe. The title āMomā fits perfect for the feelingā¦ Childlike, yet forlorn. Lovely from beginning to end. (His newer album Stolen Car is also a fun listen if you enjoy this.)

āIntroducing a revisionist exotica for these timesā¦aquatic synths & drum machines, slide guitars & santoors, stray trumpets and accordion...ethno-industrial, dub, and samples from a fifty-year old suitcase of cassettes...
The major catalyst was a suitcase of twenty cassettes my father unearthed from his teenage years in Iran, recorded between 1972-1975, taping DJ monologues off the radio, lines of movie dialogue off the TV, radio plays, spoken word translations of European pop...
That made it a kind of excavation of a bygone time, a travelogue to a place accessed only through cultural artifact & collective memory. An imaginary soundtrack to a half-remembered movie from a faraway place.ā

Iāve been maintaining a looong playlist spanning jazz, folk, ambient, r&b/doo-wop, shoegaze, soundtrack scores and more, Iām sure. The main theme is imagining tracks that would sound good in an empty old dusty bar, or maybe walking along a foggy river bank on a still night. Sonically, Iām aiming for interesting textures, catchy melodies, or sparse production. Throw it on shuffle and see what catches yr ear.
Sampler of artists: Mary Lattimore, Eno/Fripp, Cassandra Jenkins, Harry Nilsson, Beach House āØ

Mr. Kirk has mad so much music my brain canāt even begin to fathom it. Starting to gain prominence with his group Cabaret Voltaire, he didnāt stop taking an eclectic approach to music production. This album, however, is his stand out work. The apex of everything that makes his music work so well. Tape loops, drum machines, african percussion, and a spicing of dark wave dancability. A singular musician and a singular album. Hugely influential for the music I make too (as will be the case for many, many of my other posts).
