I was going to post the new air today, but, mostly for lack of time and a faulty internet connection, that will have to wait until tommorow. In the meantime listen to these guys. I'll probably be posting a lot more harry partch in the near future. He was one of, if not the first 20th century composer to really explore the possibilities of microtonal scales. Which is to say, music outside of the western philosophical boundaries. Think of gamelan. Sort of like that. Also, he also ran around as a hobo in the great depression. This track is from one a few seminal compilations of his work entitled, Delusion of the Fury.
the other track is a four tet remix of one of the better tracks off of the upcoming explosions in the sky album, suddenly I miss everyone. I'm always less than impressed with explosions in the sky. But I love four tet. He makes songs by people that would otherwise sound bland sound edible.
Explosions in the Sky-Catastrophe and the Cure (four tet mix)
