DJ Spooky aka Paul D Miller is probably best known for this Illbient work in helping define that genre in the late 90s. Then his mix CDs are an incredible overview of some odd corners of electronic music. His split EP series has some of the wildest names in experimental music, and his solo albums are just fantastic start to finish. I don't think I've come across anything of his that I didn't instantly like. His early work "Songs of a Dead Dream" has to be named after the excellent story collection from Thomas Ligotti. I have always loved his collaborations with Freight Elevator Quartet, Twilight Circus, Dave Lombardo and Scanner. So many iconic releases in his discography, all worth checking out.
His remix work is also diverse and a thing of beauty. I got all the way through this... and then remembered the great remix he did for Merzbow. Shoot! I'll add that to a future mix.

ReplyDeleteYeah, great track! Sometimes an artist remixing themselves is their best output. Good call out on this song!
