Oh, this could go on, especially when you mention people like Scanner. He's done some great stuff, and I think he was also in Githead with Colin Newman. And Colin Newman has done some good electronic stuff as well.

And I love this Scanner with David Shea:

 

Colin Newman owns one hell of a record label(Swim).The two samplers that i have of it have some music on that is too good to be true.Isn't his wife in Githead too?Top,top top album!

Don't know why I've not bought the Githead record. The one track I've heard I loved, and it's got Colin Newman & Robin Rimbaud in.

Yes, his wife's Malka Spigel, they co-founded Swim together.

I'm not so much of a fan of disco, that is dance music, but I do like good electronic stuff, and here's a list that will neglect to mention a lot of bands I am forgetting.

Thievery Corporation (some of their stuff is great and some isn't)
DJ Shadow
Unkle
Prefuse 73
St. Germain
Kruder & Dorfmeister
DJ Food
DJ Cam
Nightmares On Wax
Zero 7 (just ''Simple Things'')

and more.....

Yeah, Dj Food!
Like a lot of the Ninja Tunes stuff.

SWIM TEAM # 1 VARIOUS ARTISTS [SWIM~ ] 20 Jan 2000
WM30 [CD]
SWIM~ SWIM SAMPLER Swim, the label established by Colin Newman (of the currently reformed Wire) and Malka Spigel back in 1993, releases this low-price sampler CD of recent and forthcoming delights in May 2000.

A chance to dip into Swim's warm and fertile waters, Swim Team #1 melts the boundaries of atmospheric, mood-shifting electronica and guitar-based rock. A diving board to launch label debutantes Symptoms, S. Gears and child prodigy Bumpy (he's 11!) - all of whom have debut LPs slated for release soon - the compilation contains highlights from the recent past and splashy new tunes from respected outfits like Ronnie & Clyde and Silo. Swim Team #1 retails for around the price of a 12" single.

Both Colin and Malka contribute previously unreleased songs individually and together under the guise of Immersion, while the ultra-rare Newman/ Corrado Izzo track 'The Narrativ' makes its way back from 500 copies only and-sold-out-in-a-day obscurity on the German i220 label.

Come on in, the water's fine!

PRESS

Swim Team #1 is an extraordinary compilation that manages to be both challenging and highly listenable at the same time..The only downside, really, is that if you get this you'll probably end up having to buy at least half a dozen of the albums from which the tracks were taken. RECORD OF THE WEEK Mark Edwards SUNDAY TIMES

Bargain Louis Pattison NME

The sounds of swim team #1 are prime examples of what you can do with a little bit of equipment and a lot of great ideas. You watch, in about 5 years Madonna'll be trying to make an album like this one. Paul Doyle FIESTA

A consistently invaluable cpompilation from one of the best nu-avant-rock labels anywhere Neil Davenport JOCKEY SLUT

The Team #1 mood is a post-techno, ambient rock coctail...Newman's unjustly neglected genius for combining gorgeous melodies with experimental barbs is well to the fore. Chris Darke MUTE

All hail the true experimental artists...the ultrafunk of Ronnie & Clyde, the dark dub of Immersion and the analogue echo drop of Lobe sound like nothing you've heard before - without sounding anal into the bargain! Check this out. Skip Tracer FLIPSIDE

Swim prove that whether it's gloomy post rock or chunky high plains dub, you'll never be short changed in the surprise stakes. Calvin Bush MUZIK

Steve Gears-1st peson mp3 + details.Please listen 'cause it's well worth it.

thanks porkie,that's a great song,reminds me a bit of "is this desire?" atmosphere (i love that record),i'll search for entire albums if you think they're as good as this song.you all oughta check out Burial,too.
p.s. he did just those 2 records?

But i do know that i've heard Burial somewhere,somehow.I just can't remember when.

he/them (don't know nothing about the persons behind that moniker) released an album a couple months ago on hyperdub.maybe you read reviews or something.i love the sounds on that record.

That's pretty genius. Does he use samples, or does he actually play it like that, 'cause it sounds like it's been cut up.

make what up exactly???







anyway, i saw githead supporting coil a couple of years ago, coil were incredible, githead were shite.

Everything and i mean everything.Don't do the moody routine on me because it's not going to take you anywhere,mister.

I tsounds like most of the track is a cut n paste kinda thing.

oh yeah?! OH YEAH?!

i was just wondering what i said that seemed unlikely enough to be considered fictitious, by even the likes of you...

Uh?Eh?

whatever, i don't care anymore

Ok.You seem in a foul mood today.

i'm not!

DAMN IT!

Calm down,calm down.A cup of camomille tea?iI'm moving house after work today.My flatmate has a habit of singing made up songs when he gets up in the morning.For the first time i told him today that he should really drop that habit as it's very irritating when you get up for work.

Erm....yes diesel.

To Hell With All Of You!



(WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE FUCKING CAPS? NOW I AM GETTING CROSS)

Is this what disco and electronic music does to people?

Hey Toilet,time for that injection?

Diesel,what have you injested this morning?

What Injection?!

i'm calm. everyone else is just being overly sensitive!

actually i'm in a pretty good mood. SO THERE!

Good for you.Did you manage to have sex with a living being in the end?

in the end of what?

the end of your period

what period?

Your.Period.

get your own period!

(no i didn't)

did you?

Anyway,enough of your moods now.Spookie let's get back to chat about electronic music.

answer the question.
