<p>I’m having a splendid Sunday at my desk, working on some moot
cases for school.</p>
<p>Sometimes to get going, I need some good music that fits the mood.
If you’re like me, you’re probably listening to some ambient or
minimal music.</p>
<p>I’m on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trentem%C3%B8ller">Trentemøller</a>’s 2006 <em>Last Resort</em> right now and it
feels great. I have no idea where I got that from, I just don’t
remember. But anyway, thanks to the person who gave me this!</p>
Le Computerband de retourhttps://hroy.eu/posts/computer_band_is_back/2023-10-30T21:04:57Z2013-10-09T22:00:00Z
<p>Il y a quelques années, je me suis pris une vraie claque en
découvrant «<a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smash_%28Jackson_and_His_Computer_Band_album%29">Smash</a>»
de <a
href="http://warp.net/records/jackson-and-his-computerband">Jackson
& His Computer Band</a>. Il m’arrive encore assez souvent d’écouter
l’album et de le trouver toujours aussi bon et rempli d’une énergie un
peu folle et détraquée. Je me suis même surpris à vouloir retrouver des
similarités avec certains passages de <a
href="http://globalia.net/donlope/fz/lyrics/Lumpy_Gravy.html">Lumpy
Gravy</a>… (j’en cherche partout de toute façon…)</p>

<p>Sauf que le fameux Jackson, là, difficile de pouvoir le suivre. En
huit ans, aucun album, rien, nada. Pendant un temps j’ai même cru qu’il
était mort ! Jusqu’à ce qu’il y a deux ans, lors d’un concert de Warp à
Paris. Je me souviens avoir trouvé un enregistrement de ses mix sur
YouTube et de m’être demandé ce que c’était que ce truc un peu naze…</p>
<p>Le deuxième album est <a
href="http://jacksonandhiscomputerband.tv/">sorti le mois dernier</a>,
et il est franchement bon, très différent du premier, pas du tout aussi
détraqué, mais comme un peu fou et toujours aussi énergique.</p>
<p>Si ça vous plaît, voilà d’autres trucs qu’il a fait :</p>
<ul>
<li><p>2005, Smash Up Megamix 1.0</p>
<p>Un mix de son propre album Smash et d’autres trucs. Vraiment
bon.</p></li>
<li><p>1998, Sense Juice E.P.</p>
<p>Rien d’exceptionnel, mais de l’électro et de la house plutôt
sympas</p></li>
<li><p>Remixes:</p>
<ul>
<li>sur le disque bonus de ✝ par Justice</li>
<li>Batcaves, Kap Bambino</li>
<li>Pacific Coast Highway, Kavinsky (bonus de Nightcall)</li>
<li>Run into Flowers, M83</li>
<li>Illumination, Panico</li>
</ul></li>
