Fly by night, Disco by day

I’ve almost weaned myself off of records, but some releases are vinyl only. Sleeparchive is one example. The Flybynight EP is another. It’s all party bass, video game sounds, and a little bit of the Journey:
Capcom – A Prayer for Kevin Garnett (Willy Joy’s Safe Journeys Remix) (buy)
Fly By Night is the name of Willy Joy‘s label & party. If you like your music mindless and electrobasstastic, follow the link for lots of free mixtapes.
Speaking of video games, check out the B-side of Spacer Woman from Mars:
Johan Agebjorn – Mega Man II (buy)
Agebjörn produced Sally Shapiro’s album. I bought that on vinyl, partly because it seemed like it would never be released in any other format but also because it was on the Diskokaine label, which I think is even funnier than Discodeine.
And if you’d rather trade in 8-bit NES samples for acoustic synths, try Daniel Wang’s Idealism. Berlin Sunrise sold me on slow disco and prompted me to search for more Wang (hee hee). Unfortunately even used CD’s were going for $20. So thank you, Fraunhofer Institute.
Daniel Wang – Glimmer In His Eyes (buy)
Glimmer In His Eyes isn’t the most obvious track–it’s especially mellow–but it exhibits another great part of Idealism: theremin.
I think I understood three words in this post – “Fraunhofer,” “the,” and “theremin,” the latter of which prompted me to post here. Next time DeVotchka come to town, see them. Live theremin played with the neck of a bouzouki in their Romany-Gypsy-Mariachi-Indy-Folk-Rock. Oh, and tuba.
I thought Fraunhofer was the one that would give everyone trouble. Anyway, I liked the DeVotchka I’ve heard, but don’t remember the theremin…
