mystery noise record on my computer

it took them forever to start covering emeralds and dan's stuff under opn is hella mnstrm its not like they were fucking w/ his weirdo gameboy edits

i mean maybe yr totally right i dont read their site this is just the sense ive gotten from ppl who have tried to get their records covered and by stuff i see here on ilm but like, i cant think of single impt sound collage/experimental/drone/avant release that theyve gotten behind the way they used to push like mille plateux second raters...

also anyone w/ the caretaker record as their token 'outer regions' pick on their eoy list clearly isnt listening to much of it cmon

this is all really stupid tho because yr 100% right its hella more likely that they (and other generalist msntrmer blawgs) will review s.thing on editions mego than something on important or blackest ever black or the tapeworm or w/e

editions tapeworm, svp

have they gotten behind anything on mego lately? I'm guessing something on spectrum spools if so.

genuinely curious but also don't feel like googling

just the last emeralds record and the one opn put out before he started software iirc.

and also iirc most of the spectrum spools stuff got reviewed/praised on the altered zones stuff rather than p4k proper?

oh duh, of course. returnal and does it look like i'm here. those still don't really feel like mego to me.

I don't think the label really matters, opn & emeralds are much easier to listen to than menche.

^^ v. true. also i dont think there was much on editions mego for ppl to rally around... maybe the mark fell record? i reall liked the evil madness lp but i dont think many other ppl did...

spitballing here but whiney if yr still reading this: doesnt it also make more sense to run reviews of like 2 chainz and beyonce than of a hecker cd + book release just for like, pageviews or w/e? like wouldnt it make sense for them to move away from covering that stuff just in the abstract?

have they gotten behind anything on mego lately?

Bill Orcutt. They've also given positive reviews to non-Mego stuff like Philip Jeck and Fennesz and Mika Vainio in the recent past.

The Prurient record that was BNMd was on Mego and is like the seventh best Prurient record

wasnt it on hydra head??

the other one

i hate myself so much for googling this to see if yr wrong

it doesnt even matter does it? im still wrong on the essential part of my argument

lots of good stuff on Important this year. i think they covered Van Wissem in a column.... and Vampillia got a full review.

last year they covered Eliane Radigue's 2 reissues, but missed the big one this year (monumental!)

i love Important though

Van Wissem - the lute player? I saw that guy open up for Lil B

not really mystery record on my computer but while I was sorting through my physical music collection before my move, I found a copy of Mos Def's The Ecstatic that I couldn't ever recollect having purchased or listened to. Which might not seem weird to most, but I have a somewhat hyperthymesiac memory of physical music I've bought, and this is like the one album I've bought that I have recollection of how it got into my collection.

Van Wissem - the lute player?

yes! that guy
