Vienna

Elsewhere in Vienna I visited Rave up! records, near one of the train stations. Really good selection of out-there music with good taste and a great knowledge.

I picked up:

Muslimgauze: Untitled

Love a bit of Muslimgauze. My first actual CD of his as I was so terribly unable to get any, from anywhere a few years ago and couldn't face downloading commercially available titles (even if he is dead and it is guilt free) so I found out which albums were hopelessly out of print or impossibly expensive and downloaded those. I remember swamping myself in Muslimgauze at one point, to saturation maybe, but this was a welcome find.

The usual: rhythmic ethnic samples, low bassy drones, middle-eastern percussion and news samples...oh, and a good gurn-inducing noise spazz out that almost outstays its welcome.

Super chunk of noise, this.
