Off to furn parts tomorrow and I get a dose of the Lurgi. Oh well, better living through chemistry.
(Sentence construction and attention-span also shot. Not good.)
Meanwhile, via the resurrected SevList: Aavikko.
There's a Peel Session, which is especially fine in the psych-pop AmigaDemo style. (In that it sometimes sounds like in-game music written by people who'd been listening to the Doors and watching seventies US cop shows, and sometimes I expect some random message in an impossible font to come sine-scrolling across my screen.
Now, see, here's an interesting thing. I wouldn't like to say that the musical form of the AmigaDemo (and presumably ST, C64 et al) existed in isolation. It is pretty much bip-bop synthpop of the type generated on limited hardware (Depeche Mode sounded like they did because they were doing it on monosynths), after all. So the influences had to come from somewhere.
Yet it sounded like nothing else available in the UK at that time.
Fast-forward a few years (ok, about ten) and ver g*thscene is going bonkers for this synthpop stuff that sounds like the old Demoscene stuff I used to listen to.
I don't know where I'm going with this, other than to point out (as if it were news) that there seems to be a pile of interesting music that's ignored by the UK meejah. LIke I said, sentence construction and attention-span completely buggered.
