Even as a person who owns a copy of the original vinyl pressing, I'm very glad to see Carpenter Brut's Trilogy is still readily available on Amazon.

I was going to ask what the reception has been so far... I heard one of the Michael Cassette remixes and I was like meh.
Click to expand...

Yeah, after having listened to it I'm sad to say it's not my type of music. I didn't expect the remixes to stray so far from their synthwave roots. Oh well.

Endless Summer was my fav synth album last year.

That and Atlas were both 1a and 1b for me. Both landmark albums in my opinion. New Single out next month sometime

Wanted to love this, but that drum beat just feels a bit too hip hopish for me.

Great to hear the finished track. Was on the live set and Ollie was saying the lyrics were in progress.

Edit: listening to Scandroid's album again, Datastream is such an amazing track. Heavy. Latest from Kalax is something I've been listening more to lately, fantastic.

I really liked the first new Perturbator song, can't say I dig the newest too much. Maybe I'll appreciate it more in the context of the album

I get why he's distancing himself from the pure 80's stuff. There's only so much you can do with the sound there's so many people doing the same thing. New song just didn't click with me that much

I think it's mostly the vocals I don't care for

Hmmm, yeah, honestly not sure about those vocals on Perturbator's new track. The track itself sound good, might just need a few more listens. Sentient immediately grabbed me though. Such a good song.

Perturbator Reckons With Synthwave, Introduces 'New Model' On Surprise EP

perturbator_photo_by_metastazis1_wide-fb5d6b1c3bf3e3e84206a3ae1dbc6dfcf220dde9-s800-c85.jpg


'New Model isn't just the title of Perturbator's new surprise EP, it doubles as the Parisian musician's reckoning with "synthwave," the retro-futurist style inspired by John Carpenter and Vangelis that he helped to pioneer. James Kent, whose music has evolved from sharp-edged synth raves to impressively dense electronic composition, has entered the next phase of Perturbator.

"New Model continues Perturbator's legacy of exploring the future," Kent writes in a press release, "but this future is one based in our own eerie reality and not the retro-futuristic fantasy explored on I Am the Night, Dangerous Days or The Uncanny Valley."

^ 35 minutes is an EP now? I guess that's everything that's under 45 minutes these days. No wonder the album format is considered dead.

Much better layout then the old one.
Click to expand...

The hover events are a bit over the top and the product images could use more whitespace between them, but I do agree it's an improvement. I did manage to break the layout a couple of times while testing it out – professional habit.

On topic, though, I recall that Tommy '86's Transhumanism is getting a vinyl release as well later this year.

Got my ticket for Perturbator in September, then Goblin and Dance With The Dead in November, super-psyched. Don't know if it's going to beat seeing John Carpenter and Fabio Frizzi last year, but it'll be a good time.

Was not the biggest fan of Vantablack but it might grow on me. If more songs are like Tactical Precision Disarray then it'll be his best shit yet.

Walking home with my feet aching from dancing at Daniel Deluxe + Dance With The Dead + Danger show. Brilliant show from all of them despite not really being a fan of DWTD. Got a chance to buy Danger's and DD's albums and get them to sign them. Both seemed genuinely nice and humble guys from the short chit-chat we had. Will post pics of the records after I get some sleep.


And naturally huge thanks to Noisepurge and co. for organizing these shows. You guys give me a venue where I can dance my heart out.

edit: boom!

Vantablack has really grown on me, it's a fantastic song.

Spwn said:
Out of interest, what new would a Perturbator live album bring to the tracks? With Brut the arrangements are a bit different and they have actual people playing instruments, but Perturbator is basically just DJ'ying his music. And this isn't meant as an insult towards Perturbator at all - seeing his show last year was one of the best live show experiences I've witnessed, but I just don't see a point in a live album unless he changes the way he does live shows drastically.

You're absolutely right, I just like hearing tracks in a different order to what I'm used to tbh 😂

Dan Terminus “Automated Refrains” [2017]

- Pity for the perceived lifelessness which is in fact never truly lifeless -
Dan Terminus – the French retro phenom – returns after the universal acclaim of his surprise sleeper cyberpunk hit, “The Wrath of Code.”

After a two-and-a-half-year absence, Terminus delivers “Automated Refrains” – the long-awaited followup that elicits his most mature work to date. The album recalls a healthy mixture of Terminus's smooth early synthwave in conjunction with the unhinged distortion of his notorious breakthrough record; peppered throughout with a healthy dose of vocoder elegies, harpsichord flourishes, and subtle nods to classic video game soundtracks as well as Tangerine Dream.

Hailing from the legendary land of the binary masters, Dan Terminus remains one of the most whispered-about secrets in the electronic scene with each new work catapulting Terminus's mastery forward five-fold. With “Automated Refrains,” Dan has eclipsed his previous work with a more developed and unique sound that throws the gauntlet down for the legends of the scene to match.

“Automated Refrains” is a lamentation for a long lost world that never was, where machines exist without memory.

TRACK LIST:
1. Fall of the Ancient World
2. Margaritifer
3. Angelus
4. Grimoire Blanc
5. Friendship through Clear Plastic Walls
6. Vesubian
7. Deus Mecanicus
8. Electronic Snow
9. Refuge
10. Dirge of the Ancient Machines
RELEASE DATE: November 10th, 2017
LABEL: Blood Music
