"IF YOU WANT A VISION OF THE FUTURE, IMAGINE CRAP 808 SAMPLES STAMPING ON A HUMAN FACE- FOREVER"
Following the meeting of minds that was Xiu Xiu, Former Ghosts and Mount Kimbie, Qu Junktions are hosting the latest installment in their Mountain series this Thursday. Split between Arnolfini and Start The Bus, Kevin Martin’s (of The Bug/Techno Animal/God fame) King Midas Sound collides- in a sombre, solemn kind of way of course - with new age synthesist du jour Dan Lopatin AKA Oneohtrix Point Never, whose Returnal is quite rightly regarded as one of the albums of 2010. Over in Start The Bus afterwards, I’ll be warming up for Lopatin’s more joyful incarnation with Joel Ford as Games (now operating under the very businesslike Ford & Lopatin). Some excellent programming on Qu Junktions part, the bill connects the dots between supposedly disparate scenes quite exquisitely.
