808 State, ‘90’ (1989)

Bands couldn’t wait to leave the 80s behind and who could blame ‘em? I guess you’re also staking out a claim to be ‘the future’. Some terrible rapping/singing on the first 2 tracks. C’mon, we just want club bangers. Thankfully, that’s mostly what we get.

Day 27
ano, “骨バキ☆ゆうぐれダイアリー” (2025)

Couldn’t miss ano from the list. Was going to go for a poppier song but no, this is the essence of her. Song title doesn’t translate well from Japanese to EN; literally it’s something like “Spirit-Book☆Evening-Diary”?

Day 26
Minimal Drone GRL and Belial Pilgrim, ‘Movements of a Cloud’ (2022)

Collab between Canadian sound sculptor & US electronic producer. The first two parts remind me of the ambient side of 808 State. But then huge strings take the piece more in the vein of US composers like John Adams

Day 26
The Zawose Queens, “Kusekala Kwanyungu”

Family duo from Tanzania, who sing in Kigogo. Their 2024 album ‘Maisha’ was a beguiling blend of traditional and electronic musics. This ‘live-in-session’ rework of one of its songs is next level, however.

Ecstasy, Passion & Pain, s/t (1974)

Soul/disco sextet led by Barbara Roy who also wrote most of this, their only LP. Got this cheap but crackly copy at Flashback almost exactly a year ago while hunting for VinylSanta goodies. Which reminds me, better get on with this year’s hunt 😬

Laetitia Sadier, “Penser L'Inacceptable”(2024)

Amid the fuss about Stereolab’s comeback LP this year, Lae’s last solo album ‘Rooting For Love’ has gone a bit unnoticed. She played a fantastic set of its songs in London in July, under a pseudonym.

Day 24
Jilk, ‘Fix Your Hearts’ (2025)

“It started with a focus on 60s/70s french pop. Three, four chords. Verses, choruses. The collective's blend of post-rock, glitchy electronica and ambient house pulled and mutated those ideas, forming them into one of their most striking releases yet”

Meridian Brothers, “En el Caribe estoy triste” (2024)

I’ve been keen to include something from Colombian, Eblis Álvarez’s wonky latin pop project in this challenge. His 2024 concept album ‘Mi Latinoamérica Sufre’ might be his most out there yet.

Day 23
Korb, ‘Korb III’ (2022)

Dreamlord Recordings’ acts - and there seems to be membership overlap across a few of them- mine the catalogue of 1970s Kosmische and synth-tinged psychedelia for inspiration. The results can be mixed, but Korb is probably the best variant of the core idea.

babyMINT, “Hellokittybalahcurrihellokitty美味しい” (2023)

Taiwanese girl group who sing in a variety of languages, but mostly Mandarin and English. This viral song, that takes in chiptune, rave and R&B, is still (deservedly) their most streamed song

Jean-Claude Vannier, ‘La Bête Noire’ OST (1983) c/w music from ‘Paris n’existe pas’ (1968)

Vinyl buy from Jelly Records of Clapton in August. Two film scores from the Vannier archive made available for the first time in 2021 by Finders Keepers Records. Came with 16 page booklet.

New album out now.

ARCHIVE_Ø marks the beginning of a new chapter for Clean Error.

This release gathers fragments of sound that survived the Collapse - broken signals, partial melodies, corrupted instruments, and the soft hum of machines that refuse to die.

Marit Larsen, “Hva er igjen av oss”

Still got it. A digital single in 2022, then rerecorded for her 2024 mini album ‘Hun er min’ - adding acoustic guitar and mellotron and making the strings a bit less overwhelming. Think I prefer the original.
