Idwal Fisher on SLI.016-18

Lots of lovely words from the lovely Idwal Fisher blog, on the subject of recent SLI releases from Tuluum Shimmering, Daniel Thomas & Kevin Sanders and Plurals...

"Far from running out of steam and offering up mates rates deals SLI continues to deliver quality material for the enlightened connoisseur. Three, three inch CDR’s usually works out to around an hours worth of entertainment, that when backed up with stark, generic, black and white covers and an easy to navigate website leaves everybody and me going home happy."

Idwal Fisher on KDM and SLI

A really nice write up of the last three SLI releases - Phil Julian | Sindre Bjerga | Astral Social Club - and the first release on Kirkstall Dark Matter (KDM) - Midwich - from the really nice Idwal Fisher.

"Julian is like a steady hand on the tiller. You know you are in capable hands and this twenty minute snatch of his work is just about damned near perfect."

Lovely stuff! There's even a plug for 'The Compass Points North' as the place to be for Idwal Fisher birthday celebrations; along with "a small glass of well chilled Manzanilla"...

June 22nd; with Aqua Dentata, BBBlood, Hagman, Midwich, Petals and These Feathers Have Plumes...

Idwal Fisher Reviews BBBlood, Core of the Coalman & Ap Martlet

Really great reviews, for the really great BBBlood, Core of the Coalman and Ap Martlet, from the really great Idwal Fisher.

"And do you know what. I do feel like giving these three releases ecstatic reviews. Its the warmth I feel coming from SLI. The fact that its such a good label with a solid roster of reliable names on it, a generic packaging style thats easy on the eye and a steady trickle of releases thats enough to keep you happy and eager for more.

Idwal Fisher on SLI.004 through SLI.009

Well, it seems as if the last six releases found themselves on the Idwal Fisher review pile all at once. I blame Royal Mail. Still, undeterred by this little monochrome haul, he ploughed on and has some very nice things to say about the experience.

"Well, theres going to be some lows in and amongst the highs but the lows are hardly worth mentioning whilst the highs are high things of such high-ness that I’m going to have to be careful not to crash the gushometer."

Idwal Fisher Talks SLI

A cracking write up of the first two SLI discs from the wonderful world of Idwal Fisher.

"‘Twenty-three Taels’ meanwhile is twenty one minutes worth of a gently chiming hypnotic two note drone underneath which are buried the scouring sounds of steel plates having their rust removed to the accompaniment of a suction pump hitting the last dregs of a bunded sump."

As I type this, there's still three copies of Twenty-three Taels available from Bandcamp; when they're gone, that's it.

All the copies I had of I Can Remember The Faces Of All The Grebs At My School have now been sold, although the free download is still available. If, however, you'd like to contact Mel, via her blog, I think she still has a few copies for sale.

Idwal Fisher Reviews Victorian Electronics

A wonderful review of Victorian Electronics, from the equally wonderful Idwal Fisher blog.

"The only thing left to do is to tell you that these four discs are all essential and will probably go on to be seen as a landmark release in the history of experimental music in Leeds."

Review

There's a lovely review of running repairs, and the split midwich / The Skull Mask release, over at Idwal Fisher...

(scan from Idwal Fisher)

I'll say, for the record, that bosky (track c. of running repairs) is a current favourite for cardio workouts at the gym. Highly recommended, both for the surreal nature which it lends my exercise regiment and for the driving, hypnotic drone. Yummy.
