DJ Food - The Search Engine - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

I have always viewed Dr. Weigl as one of the best composers of the old generation; one of those continuing the illustrious Viennese tradition. (Arnold Schönberg) In terms of style, with his works linked to basic tonalities, Weigl drew on the sound realm of late Romanticism, from whose aesthetics he never departed in favor of more progressive contemporary trends. The Symphony No. 1 in E major op. 5, written in 1908, is also far removed from any avant-garde experiments in the Romantic tradition, as epitomized among the Austrian composers of that time in the field of the symphony by composers such as Alexander von Zemlinsky, Emil Nikolaus von Reznicek or Franz Schmidt. On this , the work is performed by the formidable Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz under the baton of Jurgen Bruns.

Limited Edition 2 x 10Inch vinyl in gatefold sleeve. Featuring 4 tracks - 1 per side drawn from the three most recent King Crimson live albums plus 1 track from the forthcoming Live in Mexico set. Recorded between 2015 and 2017. King Crimson live performances are always special and the resulting live albums have long been a cornerstone of the band's reputation but the current line-up is shaping up to be the most revered yet - not a bad record given the band's first breakthrough concert (supporting The Rolling Stones in Hyde Park) was, at time of writing, 49 years ago to the week. The Letters and Cirkus are drawn from the live albums in Chicago and Vienna respectively, while Larks' II comes from the Blu-ray of the Radical Action set & Red is a preview from the forthcoming Live in Mexico album. Each side of the gatefold sleeve features one of the 4 pictures (above) which form the main image of the tour poster and were painted by Francesca Sundsten.

Planet Mu is a tag that has always survived on it's own very independent terms. For 20 years it's existed both on the fringes and in the centre of emerging electronic music, from IDM and breakcore to dubstep and grime and lately to footwork, which it took a chance on, opening it up to the world through the two Bangs & Works compilations. It also has a strong history of connecting the dots in between those genres by supporting idiosyncratic artists, from tag stalwart Venetian Snares to Kuedo, Machinedrum, Boxcutter, Vex'd, Falty DL, Luke Vibert, Ital, Jlin and Mr. Mitch to name just a few. Run by Mike Paradinas, who under the name µ-Ziq was one of the first wave of producers pushing the musical envelope in the wake of house and techno's initial burst of inspiration, Planet Mu is an established engine of creativity and enquiry, with one foot in the pop world, and a sense of fun that never let's it's experimentation disappear into exclusivity and snobbery. To celebrate their 20th Anniversary, Planet Mu have organised a 50-track, triple CD compilation of both old and new unreleased tracks and remixes packaged in a deluxe DVD-style boxset complete with a 100 page book charting the history of the tag, with insight from artists and staff, written by electronic music writer Rory Gibb. The music on CDs one and two is mainly from the current decade, with contributions from Kuedo, Machinedrum, John Wizards, Ital Tek, Remarc, Boxcutter, RP Boo, John T. Gast, Jlin and new signing Herva to name but a few. They're colourful, broad and adventurous rides across the roster that will impress and excite any fan of electronic music and are a strong reminder of the consistent quality and broad mindedness of the tag too. CD three features more of the older guard, dipping back into the roster from the late nineties and early 2000s with a range of noisier, knottier contributions from artists
