Advantages: composition, sonority Disadvantages: difficult to comprehend, musically
British veteran producer and bass virtuoso Tom Jenkinson has been the reference for the IDM/Jazz/Electronica scene for the last fifteen years.
I'm listening to his new album Just a Souvenir which is available on Bleep while it's still hot, and it's mouth watering. Jenkinson keeps cranking out estimable drum machines and basslines, this time with a traditional distortion/rock twist in tracks like Tensor in Green and Planet Gear. It even sounds like there are some virtuous improv interludes between songs. Be wary, Squarepusher has always been highly technical and somewhat difficult to understand, so I don't recommend this to sensitive ears.

There was no porter service, no lift and are room was some distance from ...
Advantages: Beautiful Disadvantages: tourists found it!

But this has changed. I saw a few videos on Youtube of the recent San Pedro, I almost cried. The castle is almost completely destroyed (compared to the photo I've included), the beach is swarming with tourists, and there is even a beach bar, with a terrace! Boats everywhere, tents everywhere, but I hope that there are not bins everywhere! My paradise is now only in my souvenirs, provoked by the very few photos which I saved of it from that time, my potted bonsai Carob tree, whose seed comes from an incredible specimen in the valley of San Pedro, and especially my good Dutch friend ...
