No problem at all man, I'm always happy to get the music I love to people who appreciate it :] The Nosaj Thing remix of Camel is just fucking phenomenal, that beat gets my whole body moving - I see you must've dug it too! I love how that EP ends with the beautiful mix of Infinitum, which segues into that 8-bit version for fun. Make sure to listen to Endless White (on 3X3) cranked up loud on headphones to get all the nuance. The heads may not be digging it for the lack of beats but they're missing out on some amazing ambient work.. Plus the ending of that EP is phenomenal, with the harder industrial version of Testament and that totally spacey ethereal jam on Auntie's Harp - really really brings out Alice Coltrane's beauty.

Yeah that Hudmo is a grower for sure, but shit, he's not trying to go for anything like Flylo's work. In fact he's definitely more electro and techno and all sorts of stuff far removed from the west coast scene.. in any case have you seen the music videos? Infinitum is fucking amazing, watch that now. Beautiful as the song itself. And man, 1X3 made me appreciate Sleepy Dinosaur anew, as well. It's incredible. 2X3 is like more crazy/psych/busy remixes of some tracks from LA, while 3X3 is a total deconstruction, with a few LA tracks turned drone/ambient/free jazz even... along with two gorgeous Flylo originals that are some of my favorite tracks of his now. I'll find some links...

Nice. Very nice. I see you've got quite a taste for his sound as I do. Man, if lastfm tracked every time I listened to Los Angeles while cycling this year, I'd probably have triple my plays, no doubt... I'm gonna flip shit when he finally drops something new next year. It's good seeing you're playing Reset so much, too. Incredible EP, one of my alltime favorite EPs in fact.

Yeah exactly, I love reading while that album's on, or writing. I play it on the big surround system and just let the room fill up like a flood, or have it on headphones to examine the myriad incredible details woven into the tracks. It's actually a great cycling album since even though it's ethereal, there's usually a percussive beat to go along with movement..

I feel basically the same way buddy. I wish I could just live on this music and go adventuring or something :] Glad you dig Bows - you should check out that guy's previous group, Long Fin Killie... and by all means grab that White Rainbow album on my blog, it's been stealthily moving up my 'best of the year' list!
