Welcome to my blog, I write about the music I like.
Kettel - My Dogan (2006). The Dutch musician, Reimer Eising, aka Kettel, is something of a rarity in electronic music circles (especially those tagged with the joyless term ‘IDM’) in that his tracks are by and large, exceedingly jolly.

Apart from to say it seems to be part autobiography and part potted … Continue reading 11/06/20 This week I have been mostly listening to
Global Communication - 76:14 (1994). I am nowhere near the first to say it, but what an incredible album this is. 76:14 will no doubt be considered by many as the peak of the early 90s ambient house / listening techno scene (explosion is much too vigourous a term for such chilled out music). 76:14 … Continue reading 20/05/20 This week I have been mostly listening to
