Hell yeah Pye Corner Audio! One of my favourites. Also liked the marimba track above. There's something about marimba and kalimba sounds in electronic music that really does it for me.

A new song from an old friend of mine. \o/
Soundtrack for that particular moment in one hopefully possible future where my biological body is just about to fail and die, and as my final action, I reach out to plug in the data cable to my head implant, connect to the system and initiate the transfer sequence to download my mind, thus - by overcoming human death - I will continue as an "information lifeform" in the collective.

Super cool song and video!
Also I would probably go for the mind-uploading immortality option too. Technological progress is scary and has its downsides sometimes, but I'm still an optimist.

Just saw this from a youtube suggestion, and then watched a few more videos, this guy's channel seems very cool.

I've been listening to Steve Reich a bit lately. Maybe someone else posted him, but this album pulls me in. I've always been drawn to minimalist compositions that grow in complexity.

I have trouble taking breaks and returning to old projects. It seems like I always get obsessed with things for like 1-4 months and then drop them completely and can never pick them back up again. It is frustrating, only the fast minimalistic projects ever seem to get done for me. I can sometimes come back to old stuff and Frankenstein the unfinished scraps into something releasable though. Unrelated, song choice of the day: Completely sympathize with that. It has gotten harder as life piles on things I need to do rather than want to do.
Creative stuff takes time for me, especially if it's more complex (so many unfinished novels...). I naturally like to just tinker at something and explore things and tweak and worry about details no one will ever even care, let alone know about. But now that I'm older there's the day to day chores and errands, taxes, relationships with friends and family, pets, and of course a job that it definitely not where I thought or wanted to be in. Not all of it is bad (except work), but it all takes away from being able to be creative and just have those multi-hour long stints of just messing around with instruments or creative software.
Kind of hijacked your comment from months ago, but felt good to vent that out into the ether

vandus, vent away! I also am frustrated by not enough time for creative stuff. A few months ago I got covid, but instead of being bummed out about being sick, I was stoked just to not be at work and to actually have the time and energy to do things. That said, if I had a bunch of free time I'd probably just end up wasting it. At least when my time is limited like this I feel more pressure to make it count, and when I stay focused I can usually manage an hour or two of creative work every evening. Also I like Steve Reich - Different Trains, and I think I remember enjoying some of his other albums, but I've never heard that Desert Music album. I will give it a spin.

It was interesting to see the shift a global shutdown brought. I wonder what today would look like had it not happened. Sometimes I think we'd be worse off, sometimes better.
Don't Rile Terry was a good find. I feel like tweed jackets like his are modern day wizard robes. And using 9 volt batteries to sustain chords...
Thank you for this thread, finding a lot of great stuff

fun fact: when I first heard this about 5 years ago, I didn't realise it was from 1971. I thought it was more contemporary.

antipodeangoblin, I like that Aphrodite's Child - The Four Horsemen. Vaguely familiar but can't remember where I've heard it, but that video elevates it for me a lot. I should listen to more classic psychedelic rock. I enjoy the Doors but I'm kind of burnt out on them. I also really like Jefferson Airplane - Surrealistic Pillow, and some of Grace Slick's older stuff as "The Great Society," but I suppose that's the extent of my familiarity with the genre. vandus, I'm surprised things have stayed so much the same since covid honestly. I think it would take a lot to derail this train. Also glad you like the thread, thanks for saying so. This is from 1993. Also I think the cover art looks like a hidden object game:
