Electronic Sound Issue 109 (Ambient Music, An A to Zzzzz)
Electronic Sound
Turn on, tune in, chill out. We're diving deep into the world of Ambient Music for the first Electronic Sound of the year and we're bundling the magazine with a superb double CD featuring 24 soundscapes from across the spectrum of this fascinating genre. The centrepiece of this month's cover feature is a jam-packed A To Zzzzz Of Ambient encompassing countless artists and records alongside labels, sub-genres, events, installations, books, fanzines, radio shows, concepts and much more. It's an entertaining as well as informative directory. Brian Eno pops up all over the shop, as does Alex Paterson, and the list also includes things such as Deep Listening, Whale Sounds, Drone Metal, Repetition, Tone Poems, Mark Rothko's Seagram Murals, Hypnosis, Floating, Ambient Church and Reversing Lorries. Yes, you read that last one right. There's lots of other good stuff for you elsewhere this issue, including a rare interview with enigmatic Swedish maverick Karin Dreijer, aka Fever Ray. Acclaimed Northern Irish DJ and producer David Holmes meanwhile gives us the lowdown on his new solo album and cultural polymath Don Letts talks about the influences that have made him the one-man tour de force he is today. Plus Mueran Humanos, Universal Harmonies & Frequencies, Peter Howell, Bas Jan, Montan~era and Alex H Duncan. The latter is a plant and fungi synthesist. Yes, you read that right too. We’re combining this month's magazine with ‘Ambient Light / Ambient Dark’, a magnificent double CD that brings together 24 ambient soundscapes spanning nearly half a century. Moving from weightless and dreamy drifters to eerie and unsettling atmospheres (and back again) over the course of its two discs, the full tracklist of this eclectic collection is:

One of the main music talking points of 1981 was the growing number of synthpop bands breaking into the UK mainstream charts, many of them climbing into the Top 10. But at the same time, there was a surge in new independent talent, with the post-punk underground splintering into endless sub-genres – coldwave, alt-funk, punk-funk, industrial, electro-dub, goth, jangly pop, agit-pop, avant-jazz, mutant disco and more – and artists putting out their records via established indies and previously unknown labels. It was an amazing time for electronic, experimental and just plain awesome music – whatever tribe you belonged to – and we're telling the story of the year through 101 milestone releases. It's an epic blast. Looking beyond the cover feature, we have interviews with Electribe 101 singer Billie Ray Martin, I Monster mashers Dean Honer and Jarrod Gosling, and Californian avant-garde pioneer Dorothy Moskowitz. We also talk to Man Parrish about ‘Hip Hop, Be Bop (Don’t Stop)’ and Saint Etienne's Bob Stanley about his influences, while one-time Piano Magic men Glen Johnson and Cédric Pin step up for our quickfire Q&A session. We have ace cartoonist Savage Pencil as well, discussing his sleeve art for The Fall’s ‘Lie Dream Of A Casino Soul’ single. Which brings us back to the latest Electronic Sound seven-inch... After last month's popular 'Blitz 80' EP, we are bundling the new issue of Electronic Sound with 'Avant 81', another top-notch three-track seven-inch. Pressed on mint green vinyl, it features a wealth of post-punk weirdness from 1981, beginning with The Fall's thunderous and caustic 'Lie Dream Of A Casino Soul', which has Mark E Smith ranting about synths, Munich and John Foxx. Next up are avant-jazz giants Blurt and their totally wired and wild 'This Is My Royal Wedding Souvenir', which probably didn't win Charles and Diana's seal of approval. To close, we have Jah Wobble's 'Nocturnal', a spine-tingling electro-dub track from the PiL bass legend, who recorded this shortly after he'd parted company with John Lydon."
