Dead stock of out-of-print LPs released by Ned Milligan, president of our popular ambient label Florabelle.
Edition of 100.
From the label:
Ned Milligan now presents his new album, Nature Always Needs Improving, building on the momentum generated by his admired third LP, Continental Burns. Echoing that album's mode and structure, Nature Always Needs Improving offers a handful of tender, minimalist pieces before giving way to a spectral side-length conclusion. The deep intimacy of the album is enhanced by its process—primarily recorded outdoors on porches or in yards—and by the unpredictable interaction of incidental sounds with traditionally musical sound sources, especially english chimes.
The title of the album—a phrase originally found in a decades-old beauty ad—is presented as a statement but taken by Milligan with a healthy amount of skepticism. Musically, the idea is further considered in the contrast of untreated, in-situ recordings of chimes and kalimba with more heavily processed pieces polyclonal of interwoven overtones. At nearly twenty minutes long, “Sternal Sky,” the album's finale, appropriately synthesizes what has come before in a gauzy, homespun glow.
Nature Always Needs Improving is a refinement of some ideas and an exploration of others. Inspired by artists like Philip Corner, Federico Durand, and Steve Roden, it was equally influenced by rural excursions, house sounds, and afternoons spent with dogs.

Moving on, through, and out of the halls of education, \"Hot Stamper\" is a montage of the many sources of technophony we encounter every day: while grocery shopping, at a car wash, inside mill buildings, or in the bathroom at a furniture store. Later that evening our intrepid aural explorers find themselves at a lively \"Pitbull\" concert at \"Great Woods,\" where the two nearly met three decades prior. Par for the course, they stop in for a nightcap at the Lafayette on their way home, where they overhear a scintillating conversation about all things jazz.

His sound collages plasticize into probing questions that \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eseem to hint at dangerous, secret answers. He comes to his sounds via close investigation of the natural world, the guts of electronics, and mundane public spaces.

So begins Jones' investigations below the surface of things on A Jurist For Nothing. Jones’ extensive experience with underwater acoustics, guitar music, and recording techniques are the principle methods his songs arise from. As with most polymaths, there are themes unseen that drive Jones' creative process. Here, primarily, they seem to be evaluations of institutions, secrecy, and the systemic breakdown of social contracts.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe waves of \"Renouncer\" give way to near inaudible ticking, and quiet field recordings; a strawberry spring of silence that sets the tone for \"Anna Politkovskaya\", named for the Russian journalist assassinated for her work reporting the Chechen war. Politkovskaya's \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003ededication to secrecy with her sources gained her a constant flow of information she fearlessly reported. Jones represents this arc of her career faithfully. Opening on a field recording of a faint drip, the track gains a sustained tension via rhythmic signal pulse before fading to silence. It's a tense, cinematic piece that bends the arc of time with its gravity, stretching two and a half minutes into what plays like a two and a half hour thriller of political intrigue.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe album's codae, \"explicate order\", and \"we will embrace the singularity\" are shimmering reflections of Jones' improvisational style, and his live performances.

He'll stop mid conversation to investigate the source of a sound, and record it -- or later miking objects to gain their secrets. Space and propagation are his tools, and he's not limited to typical studios and concert halls. Jones makes \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003ecathedrals and studios out of the inlets and waterways of the Puget Sound, as much as public spaces and public transportation.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eMidway through the album, a rhythm begins to take place.

It's an aperitif to whet the appetite of the ears before Jones strikes with his title track, and centerpiece. “A Jurist For Nothing” is an arrhythmia shot through with electronics. Piercing waves and quaking drones swell in volume, accompanying Jones' guitar on a trip into the album's crest.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eOn the backside of the wave, the sounds become harmonious, and one might notice then that the ride has been a bloom of recording techniques, beginning with lo-fi, on into the cinematic.

Jones sings blood analogue to the Texas mystic, just above a fingerpicked guitar and Goldston’s and Hamann’s moving cellos. Van Zandt's lyrical mysticism sits in for Jones’ experiments -- both of them meant to honor the power and mystery of relationships and the natural world. A fitting closer, a humble instance of two Texas con-conformists using music as an investigative tool, asking us to evaluate and dislodge our own secrets.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : A.F.

Eugene Methe, seems to have, in whole or in part, convened in Shanghai a couple of years ago, borrowed some instruments from a shop there (presumably to be paired with whatever unique rigs these guys were able to get past customs), and laid down some heavy sounds. These sounds were then augmented with sounds from the group members' various studios, and the whole thing pressed up onto a nice, thick, black slab of vinyl for the public's consumption.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThat public should be very damn glad to have access to Temporary Presence, too. Well, at least those members of the public that enjoy improvised Electro-Acoustic and Noise sounds whirling about their senses. See, this work fires on all cylinders within those aesthetics. Within its mix of strange piano chords, percussive clatter, keening feedback, and disembodied voices, the album treats the listener to two sides of consistently gooey and downright deep sonic exploration. Each piece is paced in such a way as to hook your senses in. Once this happens, their effect burrows down further and further, taking your mind with it. Disaster Amnesiac has been particularly enamored with It's Just the Air Conditioner, side two's longer track. This piece lowers a sonic boom that is consistently mind altering. Seriously, when that track has played in my house, things have just stopped and I've been frozen into a state of pure, immersive bliss. It's here wherein all of the various elements just combine into a very compelling whole, one which is just so consistently pyschoid and downright deep as to be a mind blower with every single hearing. Elsewhere, you have the mysteriously titled The Swallows Have Returned with its ominous thrumming electrics and warped piano, Vitals which features some cool, by turns glassy and popping percussion, and At the Worst Of It, which concludes things with a nice, thick atmosphere. All the tracks on Temporary Presence just exude this undeniable mood; clearly something special transpired at Sandy Music in Shanghai.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eAlong with the great sounds, Temporary Presence benefits from a rich and sumptuous package that has some great Bryan Day asemic writing and cool type face.

The shadow it leaves is an industrial howl and whine, a pulsing temporary presence. It could be the air conditioner or a man on the street buying cabbage, a head filled with ideas and the feet always out of step.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eNaturaliste (pronounced Naturalist) formed in 1998 in Omaha as a minimalist, almost academic drone band, but also a hyper\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e reaction to a local music scene packed with emo and bar bands. Outside elements and influences prevailed, the line-up shifted and personal deconstructions were soon reflected in countless live fiascos and non-performances in Omaha and around the United States. Light bulbs were busted out while rabid noise freaks rolled around in the broken glass. Fiery arguments with sound engineers often made up entire performances.

Eugene Methe, seems to have, in whole or in part, convened in Shanghai a couple of years ago, borrowed some instruments from a shop there (presumably to be paired with whatever unique rigs these guys were able to get past customs), and laid down some heavy sounds. These sounds were then augmented with sounds from the group members' various studios, and the whole thing pressed up onto a nice, thick, black slab of vinyl for the public's consumption.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThat public should be very damn glad to have access to Temporary Presence, too. Well, at least those members of the public that enjoy improvised Electro-Acoustic and Noise sounds whirling about their senses. See, this work fires on all cylinders within those aesthetics. Within its mix of strange piano chords, percussive clatter, keening feedback, and disembodied voices, the album treats the listener to two sides of consistently gooey and downright deep sonic exploration. Each piece is paced in such a way as to hook your senses in. Once this happens, their effect burrows down further and further, taking your mind with it. Disaster Amnesiac has been particularly enamored with It's Just the Air Conditioner, side two's longer track. This piece lowers a sonic boom that is consistently mind altering. Seriously, when that track has played in my house, things have just stopped and I've been frozen into a state of pure, immersive bliss. It's here wherein all of the various elements just combine into a very compelling whole, one which is just so consistently pyschoid and downright deep as to be a mind blower with every single hearing. Elsewhere, you have the mysteriously titled The Swallows Have Returned with its ominous thrumming electrics and warped piano, Vitals which features some cool, by turns glassy and popping percussion, and At the Worst Of It, which concludes things with a nice, thick atmosphere. All the tracks on Temporary Presence just exude this undeniable mood; clearly something special transpired at Sandy Music in Shanghai.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eAlong with the great sounds, Temporary Presence benefits from a rich and sumptuous package that has some great Bryan Day asemic writing and cool type face. Dunno if the inner sleeve insert is just a blur by design, but that's kind of cool in its own way as well.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eAs usual, Disaster Amnesiac is chuffed to be on the receiving end of another package from the House of Day. Temporary Presence checks all of the boxes for me. Seek this one out, as it probably will for you if you're at all inclined to dig the kind of psychedelia that Naturaliste are so adept at dishing up.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : Naturaliste\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGertrude Tapes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
