jesus, this guy is amazing... his Texturology album blows my mind... if anyone else loves that Artificial Intelligence sound, you gotta get into this guy... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've heard his track on the AI2 compilation - Utuba? - and I think he does the remix of the first track by Mark Franklin. They're both excellent. But I thought that was all he'd made. When did Texturology come out, then? And what do you think of AI 2 overall? It's one of my 3 or 4 favourite albums. |

i love ai2... beaumont hannant has released many albums and ep's from the early 90s... the last thing he appeared to release was in about 97... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Are you named, teapot, after the AFX track on AI2, 'My Teapot'? Although that track is easily the worst track on the LP. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
worst track, yes. named after that track, yes. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Good guess! Or maybe you are joking..? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah im serious, My Teapot was my graf tag when i was 15 :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*adds it to his self-indulgence list* btw teapot, i'm still interested in that teapot industries. |

Beaumont Hannant totally rules.. both the Texturology albums (there are two differnt ones as I am sure you realise) are incredible. Also for something a bit different sculptured is really good too To answer the question above, both the Texturology albums came out in 1994 I think - in my opinion the best year for music in my lifetime, and the year when I first started listening to afx. |

Love the work he's done with Lida Husik! In fact, I discovered Lida Husik through on of Hannant's records, but I cant remember the name of it... She sings on three of the tracks, amongst them, the opening track... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ormeau/Substance EP and from the album Sculptured |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
does anyone know what he is up to nowadays ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, sculptured! Have you heard Lida Husik's'Green blue fire' and 'Faith in space'? I think Hannant moe or less produced 'GBF', and he contributed heavily to 'Faith in space', wich is a fantastic album indeed. Green Blue Fire is not Lida's best album, but it's nice... Her best album? 'Fly Stereophonic'! |

im obsessed with the track "mind colours" from texturology... its awesome |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hannant definetly go it down :) |
||||||||
|
|

"got" my bad |

|
|
Does anyone know what happened to Higher Intelligence Agency, who had a track on AI2 alongside Hannant? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They are still around... He has been working alongside Biosphere recently. Two albums...Polar Frequencies....and Birmingham something.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But that's years ago now... I wonder what they're up to these days... I heard 'Freefloater' the other day, it still a brilliant album! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What is Biosphere's newer stuff like? I have 'Microgravity', which I think is his first Biosphere LP (after Bleep?), but I only liked 2 or 3 tracks on it. He also did a good track called 'The Third Planet'. Is his stuff since Micro any good? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
His newer work is VERY VERY bassy deep ambient. Not at all like Microgravity or Patashnik. Infact, if u like Microgravity give Patashnik a listen. It is just as good...if not better. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I read a review once that put Microgravity and Patashnik on a par with anything else in electronic music. But I thought only 1,3 and the last track on Micro were any good. I must be missing something. Have you heard his releases as Bleep, which he recorded before becoming Biosphere? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Microgravity and Patashnik would both be in my top 10 favourite ever records.. Never heard bleep but would really like to.. what does it sound like? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have a Bleep 12" titled the Launchpad... I guess it's a bit dated now... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Holy shit! Beaumont Hannant! I totally forgot about that dude! I'm gonna rush home and dig out all my old discs... when last did he do anything new? I still remember my fave track being called something like Symphony5... I truly forgot him! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeh, I own nothing by Bleep, but I heard it was very poor. Well, that's what the Icelandic Biosphere guy said. Modest chap. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
On a similar old skool electronica tip.... does anyone remember Reload's a collection of short stories? That was also fuckin' classic... another one I forgot about.... pity they (Global Communication) never topped it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Also, Cherry Bombs Electronics for dogs album was good.... Richard Brown is a top producer, he often collaborated and engineered shit for Beaumont... and he was half of RAC... which was sick sick shit as well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hey, what's on that Reload Short Stories LP? I have their compilation album, 'The Theory of Evolution' on Warp, which has some Reload and Link & E621 stuff. Do you have this? It's really good in places. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, theres some good stuff on that comp.... but it's not anywhere near as good as Collection of short stories.... it's a very good album, and comes with a little book that you read with the music. It works brilliantly, 'cos the text somehow synchs up with the music when you read it. go buy it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Is any of the Short Story stuff on 'Theory...', cos I thought the Reload stuff on that wasn't that good. I prefer their stuff as Link, and their amazing 76:14 LP. Do you know what happened to these guys? What was their last release? Last I heard was as Jedi Knights on Clear. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Reload stuff on the compilation doesn't even compare... there's a lot of crap on that compilation. Not sure what they're up to now... I think they split and are still doing stuff in a solo capacity. Another Global Com album thats fuckin' awesome is a remix collection they did for a crap indy rock band called Chapterhouse. Not sure how you'd get hold of it though, 'cos it was a limited edition disc that came with the Chapterhouse Album. I can't remember what it was called... the remixes were called Bloodmusic |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Isn't one of the dudes Wishmountain? or was that one of Herberts pseudonyms? can't remember |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeh, Wish Mountain Plays was Herbert's first project, I think. I saw him go on Big Breakfast (an English morning TV prog) and play a track made entirely from the sound of spoons. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I heard about a Glob Com remix LP, but I can't remember what it was called. It had that Chapterhouse song, and a Grid remix, and some other stuff. I forgot to buy it when it was in my local shop, and now it's vanished. Typical. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thought so... one of the Reload guys started making house... I can't remember under what name though. I lost interest in them years ago, 'cos nothing was as good as Collection of short stories. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Didn't one of them go off to do stuff under the name Amba? Tom Middleton I think. Last I heard from either of them was remixes on a Lamb EP. A bit crappy they were. ...Short Stories is ace though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sounds familiar... those Lamb mixes were quite weak. Autechre's Lamb remix however, was quite something! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeh, I saw Tom Middleton's face on the front of a House Mix Volume 3 type album. It looked very Pete Tongish, and I thought it was rather a fall from grace. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Biosphere is not Icelandic, but Norwegian! Bleep is rather simple housy stuff, but it reveals greater things to come, especially some of the sounds used on the 12" I have. I think he uses some of the same modules on the Biosphere records that he used on Bleep... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
RAC still blows my mind! I simply adore the Tangents e.p. It takes off like nothing else! |
