Flip' nora people.

Anyone listened to The Gamble yet, by Nils Fram's new (old) group nonkeen? Just on first listen now and am very much liking it.

Third track, ceramic people, instantly caught my ear as a jazz-infused frenzy of rather lovely electronica...

What chance them at the Farm, I wonder?

Perfect (late night) Glade fodder, I'd suggest...

Just gave that a very quick listen, very much up my street so will spend some time with that album tomorrow! Wish I had got tickets for their live show now 

Listening for the second time and trying to find the strength not to buy the bloody vinyl...(only as I have four LPs pending and those packages are SO conspicuous - "it's just some light bulbs for the living room, darling". Yeah. In a vinyl-specific packing box. Hmmm.)

It's also quite clear why ceramic people hit home so easily - it is very Floating Points!

Only one UK show is a bit pants. Here's hoping for some lovely summer festival dates. Well one, actually. In June. In Pilton. 

:)

I'm sadly not attending Glastonbury this year (sad face) So a run of late summer dates in the UK would be perfection for me! Really need to get stuck into some Nils Frahm stuff, always mean to pick some stuff up and end up buying different albums instead! Will need to rectify immediately

I love it. Bought the vinyl on Sunday and have been listening all week. Really hope they make an appearance. Along with Kiasmos, a solo Nils show, a solo Olafur show, Lubomyr Melnyk, Rival Consoles, AWVFTS, Masayoshi Fujita... ... I need an Erased Tapes festival.

John Digweed, I hope so. More likely Derek Carter

I'd agree,  much more of a Basics booking than Digweed (much as seeing Diggers would be great). 

Been to Basics many times over the years (not so much since had kids)and Derrick Carter was always excellent.  

Residents like Ralph Lawson, Denney, James Holroyd, Buckley and Tristan da Cunha though have always been superb

Yeah. always disappointed when I see the Parklife line up, consistently excellent and yet is apparently an appalling festival to attend.

Last year was fine. Apparently, it was awful in 2014 when it chucked it down, but last year was beautiful sunshine - I thought the atmosphere was great. I didn't feel any aggression - security was much more stringent than I was used to at Glastonbury, but the crowd were fine. They were much more poseury than Glastonbury, but given nobody was camping, that's not surprising.

In fact, it was more pleasant than Silver Hayes normally is. I decided to think of it as a super WHP, rather than a mini Glastonbury, and with those expectations it was good.

With pissing down rain + mud I can imagine it's not so nice, but the year I went was lovely.

Anyone from here going to Four Tet at the Roundhouse this weekend? I absolutely can't wait, been wanting to see him live again for absolutely ages, think I last saw him in 2012.

An hour and a half of Ben UFO in support as well, you lucky lucky people. Have a good one Matt

Hoping that there's a UK tour (coinciding with a Glastonbury appearance) to promote the new album out on Friday.

Does Eric have a vested interest in SW4? He seems to play every year, I think he used to live in Clapham before moving to EDMsville. I guess with the Cirez D headline set at SW4 this year he's trying to differentiate between all of the previous appearances. Either way, at the risk of repeating myself, let's have him booked this year please. It's been 7 years now.

The new album "Opus" is a thing of beauty. I now DEMAND a Prydz appearance

    • Yeah.   Revisit in 2 weeks, then 👀
    • Even with the recent heavy showers it's too early to tell what site conditions would have been like.  The very hot spell would have certainly dried things up considerably, and rain since then has been equalled by a stiff breeze so, without the benefit of actually walking the site, I'd guess ground conditions at present are about perfect.   If we had a festival to look forward to I think the weather watchers would have been at the "all to play for" stage at present.
    • Hush cancelled with a similar event now taking place at EartH and Cate Le Bon doing her own show, maybe others have rearranged gigs?
    • Yeah I find it strange, if they were just a silly act then they wouldn't be headlining the 3rd stage. The likes of vengaboys yes but they aren't doing their own sizeable arena dates.  That looks very weak for what they could actually get, but GC aren't playing 3rd main stage with The 02 and the Coop arena and in a same slot that KSE are. MIW aren't carrying those two dates either, neither are Turnstile and Parkway Drive tickets didn't play out. You gotta do better than Ghost, Blink and Deftones though.    I think you are a bit even if that is not the intention. I'm genuinely shocked they booked them for the avalanche and I think it'll be rammed out of the tent. While ADTR will obviously get a lot too, many Download attendees will had the chance to see them at Slam Dunk. I think 90s fest getting Scooter was class and while there would have been some Download crossover, the Slam Dunk crossover given acts you get on the avalanche will be a different level.
