A Plasma Flasks story: In 2007 we rescued a bunch of scrappy, unfinished Portastudio recordings from 1987-97 and worked them up into an album. In 2015 our friend Aldona made a video for one of the tracks. Because these things take time. Full album here: plasmaflasks.bandcamp.com/album/zombie-2

#musicsky Does anyone else obsessively make up middle eights and 'b' sections in their heads to their phone alarm melody of a morning?

Who'd a thought it. We're in the charts.

Wearing influences on your sleeve: When a bit of noodling goes all Music for Airports on you and you just have to fess up and lean into it.

I can't wait until July for this one...

I'm lovin these vintage obscura guys' work

Timothy Chalamet did a great job, but the real 'Judas' moment was way more punk rock. https://buff.ly/40qsN54

Don't feel so bad I'm only on my 7th studio album at 55.

Delighted to be included in: Teenage Fanclub's favourite songs

OK, one for the #producerthreads nerds. I'm recording drums for the new wor_kspace album. But what mic array am I using? #musicproduction #audioengineering

Thank you, Kevin.

mid_winter Happy Yuletide to you. #christmasmusic

Alter is a song from Poly_mas, the wor_kspace Christmas album. It's one of the more atmospheric tracks on the album. It's essentially a Christmas message, tho it's a secular song. #Christmasmusic #Christmas #synths

Another seasonal song for you from the Xmas album. Available in @monorail_music https://buff.ly/4fdSf3a #Christmasmusic

Poly_mas, the wor_kspace Christmas album is on streaming platforms now for your pleasure. #christmasmusic

One of my favourite snow songs for everyone who had a snowy day. ❄️❄️❄️ As @finlaymacdonald.bsky.social pointed out, I might be a bit late with my Autumn favourite song that I posted earlier but we didn’t have any snow here on the coast. youtu.be/1M56Owjgh8w?...

Here's the lyric video for CCTV. The scenes are all from a typical day in the life of wor_kspace. The groove is motorik. #krautrock #neu #kraftwerk #can #stereolab #minamideutsche #beak

Delighted to have played guitar for Radhika opening for Hifi Sean and David McAlmont on Monday. My son Eric played Moog and it was great his debut show was at a packed King Tuts. A very special night.

To me, this is a lovely Christmas album. Do you have any albums you like listening to at this time of year but which were not intended as Xmas albums? Virginia Astley....with a guest appearance from David Sylvian open.spotify.com/album/19kfp7...
