Good morning, and happy Friday! What a long week. Anyway, we made it. Now let's get into the Electronic Soundmaker and Computer Music Magazine tapes. I'm having a lot of fun doing this. There's some great music on these last couple of tapes, and I can't wait for the next one. But I am limiting myself to one a day. It gives me that little thing to look forward to doing each day.
So on tape 3, there was a lot. Especially that awesome sound sample of a BBC Micro drum track. That was awesome. But I'm not going to do the samples of things they do and advertise on there, just songs. I was struggling between a couple today, but instead of the Bronski Beat one as they are pretty well known. Unless the song by a well known artist really stands out, I don't want to do the celebrity features and find the lesser known/or home recording artist.
This one though I guess he's a long time artist, as the host announces, but I've not heard of him here in Canada, but could be a big name in Britain. It's by Joseph Ho'maker with his song called Across Icy Waters on side 2.
This track just has that hauntology vibe to me, but a happy hauntology vibe. It seems familiar to me, like something I heard before, but it completely captures that synth sound of an old film projector educational film back when I was a kid in school. I love this.
