our new regular contributor Jake Bellissimo returns to give some interesting listening tips – and to create the first instance where ABBA is mentioned on the Bad Blog of Musick…I especially adore the piece by Delia Derbyshire, female electronic composer extraordinaire, and much ahead of her time (Moritz Eggert)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n


\nSee What I\u2019m Hearing: 6 album listening Log #1<\/strong>
\nby Jake Bellissimo<\/p>\n

As the temperature starts to drop in Berlin and the leaves change different colors, so do my listening habits. Having a good record or piece or whatever to listen to on a breeeeezy afternoon walk or train ride to your apartment can be soothing. Since most (if not all) of my time for listening to music is reserved for public transit, I cherish these times when I can just look forward and listen.<\/p>\n

This is the first of a few listening logs\u2014I\u2019m just going to speak about and recommend 6 albums\/EPs\/pieces that have caught my eye\/ears lately.<\/p>\n

(these aren\u2019t in a particular order)<\/p>\n

\u2022\tPavilionous Miracles Of Circular Facet Dice (2005) by The Skaters<\/strong><\/p>\n

o\tA weird way to start this off, maybe, but definitely my most-played album as of recently. Wunderkind James Ferraro has a very extensive discography, but I prefer to think it started to get interesting with The Skaters. This is such a beautiful album full of really exceptional pieces. I\u2019m sure this isn\u2019t what they meant it to be, but it sounds like there\u2019s some sort of important\/striking performance happening in another room, but for some reason they recorded it from the next room over.<\/p>\n

But honestly, as a listener, I have no problem eavesdropping. I dig it, in fact\u2014all of the (rightly so) \u201cUntitled\u201d pieces ambush your brain with some hearty sounds in an unusually soothing way.<\/p>\n

Listen to: the whole thing\u2014trying to splice it up isn\u2019t really worth it. <\/p>\n
