Remove red from white light

An effortlessly pulsing, cleverly smeared working of the rich seam of dubby post-techno, Pattern 4 by cyan341 on Uncharted Audio is respectfully in the Basic Channel lineage - to the extent of having its own decimal-placed version (4.1: buy here). 

If its imminent vinyl release in the perfect format (10", obviously...) weren't persuasion enough, cyan gets further kudos for citing this great 1990 compilation as a key inspiration (previously blogged by LMYE here). 

Moreover, it has a fine remix by the relentlessly interesting LJ Kruzer - both skipping and melancholy. 

To arouse your appetite further, an LMYE-hacked hors d'oeuvre from this summer's STFU gathering: Heidelberg Heat - feast on those lovely, mad synth stabs & vamps... 

cyan's deliciously spacey set in its hour-plus entirety is here, while for completists everything from the event is here under Creative Commons.

Altering ego

Here's a clanking & whirring - & deeply satisfying - chunk of Matthew Dear's potty-mouthed Audion persona. It's hacked out of approximately the right part of XLR8R's new Dear/Audion mix by Derek Plaslaiko, but whether it's one of the two unreleased tracks (OWT & Bees Please) cited only a more Spectrally-inclined pair of ears would know...

Anyway, sorry about the ham-fisted fades & title: Dear Hunting Audion (full mix is here).

Boats don't leak

Lusciously shimmering, acidly throbbing - detecting a welcome hint of the late, lamented Ultramarine in this delightful showdown between Kelpe & The Boats: Colours Don't Leak (Remix) [from the new remix set Extraquarium - a £5 steal direct from DC, more elsewhere...].

Courtesy of our completist anorak department, a re-up of the chunkier original: Colours Don't Leak [from Ex-Aquarium, & previously posted here].

Still hoping to track down Kelpe's preceding-the-compliment remix of Beppu (a Boat): might surface next year, the man says...

Seven days of Doris

Not exactly post-jazz, post-pop or post-rock but some rich & often intensely satisfying, deeply jazz-infused brew of all three, E.S.T. ended with abrupt tragedy this summer. 

The earlier albums (like Strange Place for Snow, Winter in Venice, Good Morning Susie Soho & From Gagarin's Point of View) usually seem the best. But today's 45-minute freebie retrospective shows that the trio's intensity, rhythmic inventiveness & playful ear were all still intact later (though some lightness of touch seems to have fallen away) - as was their unfailing talent for the clunking, trying-too-hard title...

Shame that, despite their reputation for broadening the boundaries of the jazz trio with the occasional squeal of feedback (most of it as clumsy, if well intentioned, as their titling), they never put their music in radically different hands. A Triosk-style collaboration with someone like Jelinek would have genuinely challenged & updated their sound. It still could...

Anyway, listen to Eighty-Eight Days in My Veins, Tide of Trepidation, & A Picture of Doris Travelling with Boris (all from Viaticum); Seven Days of Falling, Elevation of Love, & Did They Ever Tell Cousteau? (all from Seven Days of Falling); & Jazz (from Leucocyte).
