The Tone Generation: Women in Electronics ›

lucybannister:

I love this. I actually want to get on a big box and shout about it.

Here is more information from Simon James who produced the show: “Women in Electronics, is the 19th show and the electronic music tracks all come from a selection of female composers who worked with tape or analogue synthesizers. Featuring Else Marie Pade, Jean Ichelberger-Ivey, Pril Smiley, Daria Semegen, Ludmilla Frajt, Laurie Spiegel and Lily Greenham.”

The Tone Generation was brodcast on Resonance FM and is presented by Ian Helliwell.

Have a happy analogue International Women’s Day!

soundsfromthefield is posting a great stream of tributes to honour female musical pioneers today: Delia, Meredith, Pauline, Blevin and more great stuff to come, I’m sure.

Be sure to check it out.

Sequential - Saturn Cruises, 1993, 11:28

This slice of classic hypnotic techno was unanimously voted track of the New Year’s Eve party at 5:01AM in the morning, but then it was just gone 5 in the morning and we are old techno farts so what else would you expect?

Effortlessly hypnotic, insistently driving, and synthesised with amazing clarity, Saturn Cruises is such an apt title for this cosmic journey. This is what Jean Michel Jarre would sound like if he had a 303 & 808 & astronaut fetish instead of an Eminent 310, Korg Minipops, and shaggy hair cut.

It mixes effortlessly with Air Liquide, Resistance D, Spicelab, Der Dritte Raum, Kraftwerk, most krautrock, and I have a tendency to mix it into Killing Joke’s Requiem (A Floating Leaf Always Reaches The Sea Dub) but that’s not really the point because this track is made to be played, not to be segued.

Maybe it’s just me, but this kind of thing from 1993 sounds timeless now whereas it felt somewhat primitive in the later 90s. Regardless, I have never regretted cherishing my vinyl copy.

Thanks for the music, Pete Namlook.
