Altair Nouveau - New Signing to DFA Records

Altair Nouveau - new signing to DFA Records: similar to Lindstrøm: Altair Nouveau on MySpace Music - futuristic cosmic space-disco

Press Release:

Altair Nouveau consists of one Brandon Mitchell, a young producer from the west coast currently residing in San Francisco. Altair Nouveau’s music, though designed with the dance floor in mind, still evokes a personal element. It is the combination of these elements that give Altair Nouveau his indistinguishable larger than life, spaced-out future disco sound sure to cause a dance floor frenzy.

Raised in the sprawling city of San Jose, California to musical parents. Mitchell grew up with the encouragement of his father, an electronic music teacher at the local community college. Brandon began educating himself by collecting albums from the likes of Giorgio Moroder, Vangelis, Ennio Morricone and John Carpenter. This gave way to newer acts such as In Flagranti, Prins Thomas, Lindstrom and several artists on DFA.

The title track ‘Space Fortress’ marks a bold and exciting introduction into the sonic landscape of Mr. Nouveau, combining G Funk, P Funk and a 4/4 disco foundation that adds up to something otherworldly altogether.

‘Showdown’ is a lush and melancholy electro track, with gentle chugging rhythms carrying you along and depositing the listener onto a bed of rich vocal harmonies.

The swirling jazz funk of ‘Sorcerer’ shines bright and shimmers with sharp and punchy synth melodies, sounding like Money Mark trying to teach Herbie Hancock to break dance. You know what I mean. This single is being co-released with the very talented Maelstrom (Eskimo, Mindless Boogie) via his own dance label called Solar Disco.

Joel McIver: Joel McIver | Interview | Lords Of Metal metal E-zine - Issue 94: July/August 2000

We usually publish interviews with bands and occasionally an interview with an organizer of a festival or something like that. It’s not that common to interview a writer. Since we review books that might be interesting for the readers of Lords of Metal on a monthly basis in the form of a special, we got the idea to conduct an interview with Joel McIver. We reviewed his book on Slayer this month and in the past we reviewed two other books by his hand. Since Joel is one of the more important writers of books on metal at this moment, we contacted him and it was no problem for him to tell a bit more about himself.

John Harris on music writing: John Harris asks whether the best writing about pop music hails from a different era | Music | The Guardian

As veteran musicians headline Glastonbury this weekend, does the best writing about rock music also hail from a different era? Is anybody today as good as Greil Marcus or Lester Bangs? Having spent 20 years as a pop journalist, John Harris asks whether music writing has lost its way

-the anthropic cosmological principle and atheism
-Canadianness in Anglo-American genres and in lyrics and images
-tribute projects of the band's music in death metal, trip-hop, and classical strings
-the band's combination of secular humanism and mysticism
-libertarianism and left-libertarianism, rather than "right-wing"
-the cognitive function of riffs and other music in expressing difficult ideas
