I wrote about this superb album I recently discovered: "subtle electronics seem to turn the fixed points and solid foundations, into reflective, bouncy and bendy ones…"

MEMORITA: Éliane Radigue Éliane Radigue passed away earlier this week at the age of 94. She was, and remains, a looming presence in our listening at OBLADADA. The French composer is without doubt one of our very favourites…

"Things are different in this music, time feels recalibrated, and the sound is a shapeshifting laser beam of pure controlled energy."

My wife is involved with a pigeon-focused charity group based in Glasgow called Happy Feet - who are dedicated to tackling "stringfoot"- a painful/disabling condition, caused when pigeons' feet become entangled in human litter. Maybe worth looking at?

A ladybird chilling in a groove of my kitchen door.

Nice to discover this little lodger snuggled up in a groove of my kitchen door - presumably for the winter. The wee groover clearly doesn’t mind the blaring music!

Yes! This whole album is very cool.

夢の石（Yume-no-ishi “marble”）, by SAB from the album Crystallization

Ready to have your mind blown? 😀
I think the piano part near the start of Seadrum by #Boredoms is sampled from Yume-no-ishi by SAB. From around 14:30 onwards...
