#ambient #soundtrack #electronic #atmospheric

An unusually inventive ambient soundtrack, rather avant-garde, based on the Terminator films. I like this one - it keeps surprising you. (I've just read it uses bits from the soundtrack to a 2019 video game, Terminator: Resistance.)

#electronic #pop

Thirty years ago yesterday, Erasure released their I Say I Say I Say album.

The sound of this, their sixth album, perhaps epitomises what Vince and Andy had always been working towards. One notable thing is that Vince made every single sound from scratch, even the percussion sounds.

But what I also love about this album is the graphic design. As you can see, there is a consistent schema across the various releases, all built around a fantastical 3D landscape. The album shows the view at night. The three singles show the same view but in different seasons. The remix CDs show wireframe renders of the band's insignia. Finally, the EP shows the landscape but in a unique close-up.

This is something that really appeals to me - the design of a "whole" thing via its component parts, which are done consistently. This is exactly what I now do with @Millenniyule every year.

An interesting song by Stockport musician Holy Other, Touch, from his With U EP (2011).
Something I love about vinyl is how much you can do with the physical object.
