So, for a while I’ve had a sound in my head.
It’s best described as a shape (I guess it’s a triangle) bounded by the following “lines”:
- The more electronic side of NDW
- Belgian “New Beat” techno
- Circa 1983-1986 Factory Records output, specifically the Electro sounds (New Order’s “Confusion”, SXXV’s From The Hip, etc.)
I managed to flesh a little bit of a track out last weekend. Not done by a long shot, but it was something.
There’s also an electronic “New Age”-ish (but hopefully not lame) album-y thing that popped into my head yesterday. Think 1970′s Tangerine Dream, and Jimmy Cauty’s post-Orb Space project (not to be confused with the other bands out there calling themselves Space).
And I do intend to collaborate with Mr. ET. We just keep not getting around to it.
