Boring Music Volume V is online!

It’s time for Boring Music, once again! To all those who are new to this, let me give you a brief explanation: at RUBored.org, I’m writing about music that’s free for download and about some hardcopy records released by tiny labels that have certain connections to the Netaudio-scene. Every 15 reviews, I take the songs I liked best from each featured record and put them in a splendid mix. As there are 75 reviews online up to now, it’s time for the fifth round of the Boring Music Series.

Here’s the playlist:

01 - Processing… Gone But Not Forgotten [#67]
02 - Ian D. Hawgood The Fires Rush Across The Mountain [#72]
03 - The Mandelbrot Set Constellation Of Rings [#64]
04 - Svenfn Etereal Dunes [#73]
05 - Inlets Decks, Up And Above [#71]
06 - Br’er Lapin [#74]
07 - Institut Für Feinmotorik Live @ Detali Zvuku [#65]
08 - Tarkatak Foerfaeder (Excerpt) [#061]
09 - Daisuke Miyatani Summer Child [#62]
10 - Pompey Feet Miniature [#066]
11 - Marihiko Hara Konstellation [#69]
12 - Plaistow Mairie Des Lilas [#063]
13 - GoGooo Les Nuages Flottent [#075]
14 - Entia Non A Winter Plateau [#068]
15 - Endlos Renne Durch Dein Leben [#070]

    nice artwork. but why are the edges of the grapic so blurred? pixel-style is normally without blur *blurblurb*

    Excellent stuff Sven…netfiltered over at : http://polymorphic-music.co.uk/netfilter.

    How can I resist 5 volumes of Boring Music? I think that I’ve succeeded in fetching volumes 3, 4, and 5, at least the monolithic *.mp3, perhaps not all the available text and graphics for 3. But I can’t get volumes 1 and 2. The links http://12rec.net/Mix_Sven-Swift_Boring-Music-Vol-2.htm give a 404 - Not found error.

    Looking forward to capturing volumes 1 and 2, and to listening (when my wife is away and won’t complain).

    Cheers,

    Mike O’Donnell

    So, for those of us who find CDs handy, any suggestion how to break Volume V into two segments less than 80 minutes each? A quick scan with Audacity showed no silence long enough to serve as a track break.

    hi mike & everybody else,

    these two links will guide you to the first two volumes of “boring music”:
    http://grandmasterrobo.sonicsquirrel.net/RUBored-various_artists/RUB001
    http://grandmasterrobo.sonicsquirrel.net/RUBored-various_artists/RUB002

    tracklist & artwork are supplied there, too.

    as for the cd-version of volume five, i propose to burn a MP3-cd. unless your cd player is older than five years this should solve the problem. usually, i try to keep my mixes shorter than 74 minutes. but this time i had to deal with a good set of long-term ambient stuff and i couldn’t afford to make it shorter as it is!

    thanks for your feedback guys. i appreciate this.

  7. Mike O'Donnell Says:

    Thanks for the links. More boredom is downloading even as I type. I’ve already enjoyed volumes 3 and 4.

    “unless your cd player is older than five years”

    Tee hee! Closer to ten years. I shot my wad on turntable, speakers, amplifier. I figure on holding out until CDs are obsolete.

    I can always play it from my IPod. Or from the laptop, but that’s annoying.

    Thanks again,

    Mike
