Blog-life crisis

This blog has sat dormant for a good few months now, but we still seem to get a ton of traffic and I imagine there are followers of the blog (thanks, btw) who deserve to get some goodness....and goodness is on its way.

We've added a new author to the mix, a peculiar fellow who goes simply by the name "Quail.egg." I trust he will contribute the highest caliber of rare electronica and 'other' styles of music. His collection has a large chunk of records even I have *no clue* what the F that is.








AMP is having kids, and I'm over at Vinyl Vault doing my competitive blog eating thang; come check me out along w/ my new crew of niche music assassins...
Vinyl Vault son... Vinyl Vault word!!!

Back from hiatus with some lush Armchair Electro!

Yes the proprietors of ICOOYS have taken a short hiatus to take care of family and life stuff, but it seems as if we've still been getting 700+ visits a day so that's fantastic.

We won't be posting stuff nearly as frequently as we used to, but we've got a secret cache of new/old material that we'll be posting at our leisure. Please do enjoy!

This first one was introduced to me by a certain Whalefish after a late late night (ahem) and lets just say the record made a profound impact on me. And it wasn't just due to lack of sleep. It truly is beautiful, emotive electronic music that had somehow slipped under my radar all these years. Co-produced by Plaid, this 2x12" is reminiscent of Warp's Artificial Intelligence-series production with subtle electronics, popping your emotions from left to right like a game of Pong. Love It. FYI - my 2 personal favorite tracks from this first 12" are the 3rd tunes from each side: 'Yip' and 'Il.' Sooooooooooo damn good!

Now Mr. Whalefish had 2 copies of this 2x12", but the one he let me borrow to rip had just the first record in it. So we're swapping that tomorrow night to get the 2nd 12" - I just couldn't wait to post it all at once, so here's the first one....

Normally, I would stay away from such hilarious reviews - but I found one review of this amazing record online - and it looks as if it were written after coming back from a rave or being up way too long. It's not a bad review - it's just really funny to me but still quite expressive and manages to articulate the emotional affect this record has on the listener. Here ya go:

+ONE: Bare Necessities
(deFocus - 2000)

Sean Spencer is +ONE; add his singular synth-compositions with co-production from Plaid and you'll find an enticingly peculiar brand of electronica...

The cheerfully rambling ditties of Bare Necessities are crisp, clean and joyous. Synthesized sunshine illuminates interestingly crooked pathways through a cartoony funland.

Circus-like organ tones are battered by tiny robotic percussion as STICKER evolves into a peppy, happily bouncing entity of warm motes and twangy snippets. Bite into a dancier groove as NIBBLE chews up and spits out bubbling lows, twinkling highs and shapeless drifts, all to tight computerized syncopation. Quirky keyboarding occurs on various levels, all comingling somehow to become bright, blippy YIP.

Electro Keyboard Orchestra

Electro Keyboard Orchestra - Self-Titled
Label - Columbia
Released - 1975
Style - Jazz, Funk, Analog, Synthesizers, Electronic, Experimental, Lee Library

(from movin-ent)
The Electro Keyboard Orchestra was a Japanese group featuring eight keyboard players, all on Korg synthesizers. Specifically, they're using two early models, the MiniKorg 700S and the MaxiKorg 800DV, twenty of them shared amongst the group. Though there's also a super-tight rhythm section, the songs are obviously dominated by the keys. Among the highlights are a cover of Quincy Jones's "Ironside" theme and a fantastic original, "The Soaring Sea Gull." With so many different synth layers combining to create melodies and bass grooves, we can only imagine how amazing their live show must have been! The most synth players we've recorded simultaneously is a meager six, but we're doing our best to carry on the tradition of heavy analog funk.

CD-R, Wacky Wacky, France 2003
* comment:
o Jack Diamond Music: If you are a fan of electronic instrumental sounds in the Roger Roger vein, you will LOVE THIS TO BITS ! Animal sounds, weird human voices, sound effects all added and tape manipulated/twisted into, around, upsidedown and rightsideup and throughout electronics that are also manipulated to create some of the most brilliant genius stuff ever created.

1. Presto-Presti

Synthesizers Unlimited - Electric Bazaar (1974)

Synthesizers Unlimited - Electric Bazaar (1974, UK, electronic)
Label - N/A [CD/R]
Released - N/A [CD/R]
Style - Analog/Soundtrack/Breakbeats/Funk/Library/Synthesized/Awesome

Synthesizers Unlimited is a project by Anthony King of whom I don't know much. He performed Soul of the city on the album of Gunther Leonhardt (1971) and collaborated with John Matthews on Pots and Sides (1974).
He also made “Lost star” in the seventies, according to Vitalis on Scopia and you can find some work of King and Chris Vander (Magma?) on Workforce - Percussion Unit from 1980.
Connoisseurs can tell from the picture of the cover it is not an original copy. The typography is different. This is from a bootleg cd.
