This two-disc compilation coincides with last year's SFMOMA exhibit of the same name, a "listening event documenting the past 50 years of Japanese experimental music," ... Noise, of course, is a focal point, and each of the several noise pieces are quite distinct ... tracks range from minimalist-inspired rhythmic clicks, such as the Nerve Net Noise, Atau Tanaka, and Ryoji Ikeda tracks, which all manage to distinguish themselves with their detailed but disarmingly simple tonal palettes, to more abstract, juxtaposed medleys. Masahiro Miwa's contribution uses plaintive low-fi synths to establish tension; though the sounds are light and playful, the overall feel is heavy and works well with his stated topic of youth violence in Japan. I like I.d.'s supposedly "hacker"-inspired piece. Its discrete bundles of static and waves of digital noise sound almost like information, and it slowly develops into something vaguely repetitive and structured.

Show: 2/3/09 - soundscapes
This week's episode featured a lot of music that was focused more primarily on the construction of sonic landscapes as opposed to melody - this music was focused in the second hour, starting with Deerhunter's "Octet." I took a few requests this time around which was, as always, a plus. Thanks to all those who listened and called in!
1. The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots pt. 2
2. Battles - Leyendecker
3. Marnie Stern - Shea Stadium
"Believe it that this is not tape manipulated music, as it sounds very close to the thrilling musical acrobatics of Stern's live performances. All of this said, there isn't a pretentious note on This Is It...; Stern may be ambitious but her songs are grounded in humor, extrapolated hooks, and fragmented pop formulas. ... Admittedly, This Is It... takes a bit of work to get through the first time, but it gets easier, resulting in a compulsive, even obsessive desire to it play again and again, ultimately leading to the assertion that "there is nothing else on the planet remotely like this!"
4. Mahjongg - Kottbusser Torr
5. Bearsuit - Tstm
6. Tunng - Clump
7. Excepter - Burger
8. Feathers - Skara Brain
9. Beck - Satan Gave Me A Taco (request)
"Essentially, [Stereopathetic Soulmanure] was both a palate cleanser, one designed to scare away the "Loser" fans, and a bid for indie credibility, since the music on Stereopathetic is equally as uncompromising and as unlistenable as Sonic Youth or their many imitators at their most extreme."
10.The Fiery Furnaces - In My Little Thatched Hut
11. Deerhoof - The Last Trumpeter Swan
12. Telepathe - Chrome's On It
13. Mice Parade - Snow
14. No Age - Every Artist Needs a Tragedy
15. Benoît Pioulard - Golden Grin
16. My Bloody Valentine - When You Sleep
17. Bjork - Cocoon
18. Deerhunter - Octet
19. Growing - Cutting, Opening, Swimming
20. Ulaan Kohl - Untitled 2 (new)
21. The Books - Smells Like Content
22. Cibo Matto - Crumbs
