apologies apologies as ever more apologies for those hoping that for a copy of that jessica rylan session. basically, the resonance archive is lost and corrupted for that whole week, so unless someone out there happened to be taping it, it's lost in the ether forever never to be retained for posterity except as a glowing memory crystallised in the skulls of those lucky enough to have heard the fleeting transmission at the time of broadcast.
so, sorry about that.
hugh metcalfe is our guest next week, in the guise of FUCK OFF BATMAN, improvising, making noises, wearing a gas mask and hopefully discussing 25+ years of the klinker. it's historification time. will ben watson be listening intently enough to feel compelled to present another in depth 60 minute critique in his next show?? well, let's wait and see...

there's another drones club gig up in stoke newington (ie. about as far away as is possible to get from greenwich while still remaining in the same city) this saturday.
s/t release their music on the klangbad label and are tight with faust, man and they're over here from germany, ectogram: kind of a welsh psychedelic noise 3 piece are playing, burning idiot noise are from brighton and synth+sitar duo RAAGNAGROK! will perform beautiful music to appease the gods. I'm going to play some records to fill in the proceedings, alongside your host Tango Mango.
this all takes place at THE OTHERS, at 6-8 manor road, n16, above a snooker hall, apparently. i think it'll be fun. i hope so, cos it's a long way back on that nightbus...

also the next KOSMISCHE is due to take place back at the Old Blue Last again on the 29th. lots of djs. wild and crazy sounds from the 4th dimension, and all that twaddle.

martin is completely fucking nuts.
just to pre-empt matt w's incipient ndw primer in the beard-stroker's favourite monthly read, here's another list of records i can wholeheartedly recommend of a scary and german persuasion. i'll add some actual descriptive content when i'm feeling more articulate. at the moment i can barely string a sentence together. hopefully it's paul morley inflicted autism more than nick hornby syndrome (christ, no...)
die radierer - angriff aufs schlaraffenland (greatest flexipop synthpop pogoalong ever)
p1/e - dependence (alexander hacke + friends super deadpan oblique love song)
abwarts - computerstaat (angry)
schon - pure design
saal 2 - angst vor'm tanzen (both 7"s on zickzack)
malaria! - geld (shouty brechtian minimal synth-goth. damn this record is sexy. also the video for this is worth buying that berlin super 80 dvd/cd/book set for alone.)*
die todliche doris - sudwestwind: sound of bells (this record is actually the soundtrack to a lost film by werner herzog recording the drummer from the shaggs marooned in a desert, narrated by some berlin art students)
die egozentrischen zwei - the germans (felix kubin and friend pubescent angst-synth-pop abstraction)
kassetentaeter sampler 1&2 - super esoteric cassette only synth-punk / experimental dirge scrapings compiled and released in editions of 200 copies. get them off soulseek cos the last one went for £70 on ebay.
kosmonautentraum - juri gagarin
exkurs - natur (especially the bit at the end where it sounds like it's going to cut into some kind of a synth-punk cum digital ragga hybrid. weird)
duotronic synterror - zerstoer die welt
more pointless lists to follow.
by the way, lots of auctions on ebay at the moment, bargain hunters:
http://cgi3.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=astralbunny
* but don't buy it from boomkat.com because they will SERIOUSLY rip you off - go to www.vinyl-on-demand.com instead.
