h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Squarepusher: total loony from the Warp / Rephlex stable musically a bit like if you would throw Aphex Twin, Flea, Max Roach and load of Drum and Bass records in a blender and made a musicalmilkshake. Basically Jungle meets Aphextwin fith jazz and fun(k).
As for Mike Paradinas he is at least as disturbed as RDJames and they also collaborated on the faboulously loony album "expert knob twiddlers" which they released under the name Mike and Rich.

That's about it.

How about this one:

Recognise that one?

You've got me there, I must admit i'm totally flummoxed!
Intersting the way the different time signatures all converge at the end. Yes, very clever that. And was that a tangerine dream sample in the intro?

Nope, fooled you there didn't I?
It was of course the bootleg version of "Morning Star" by Robert Fripp and Brian Eno. It's a real collectors item because on this version Fripp plays the synths and Eno plays guitar. That's probably why you didn't recognise it.

Well Fripp's guitar playing DOES sound alot like synth. That's where I was going wrong. Fripp kicks ass, Eno walks on water, King crimson rools!!

I find the Frippertronics the most difficult stuff to emulate in text form. Can we go multimedia in this ambient dream interchange?

Seamus Heaney at his finest there, taken from his multi-media collaboration with German post-industrial goth maveriks, Einsturzende Neubauten.

Time to raise my glass to you! Full of Philip, naturally, and his 1001 carpet cleaners at Gatwick.

And now, I feel, the time has come to bifurcate. This thread is getting too long to download.
Until we meet again, fellow ambient travellers, in another of these spacious rooms....

Pluck bows out, slackening his second string.

Sorry, but I am what is known as spamming. Posting a message on as many forums as possible I.E.
