NO.1 ASTRONAUT-Instant Digest

I was asked to contribute to the MODIFYER blog's Process series so, under the guise of NO.1 ASTRONAUT, I presented the INSTANT DIGEST series.

“… sort of Plunderphonic but with John Oswald’s sneer replaced by affection and amusement/amazement.”  

Simon Reynolds, Blissblog

‘... joyfully collapses 5 decades of sonic culture into 25 minutes of abstract bliss - this is a hyper-fragmented, gorgeously warped love letter to pop music.’   

Jonny Mugwump, Exotic Pylon, Resonance FM

“In this age of the super information highway, the problem is no longer how to access information, it is how to absorb it. The Instant Digest offers the perfect solution: sonic information compressed into short, sharp efficient byte-size chunks ... just be careful it doesn’t make your head explode…” 

 Nick Edwards (aka Ekoplekz aka Gutterbreakz)

WNCL005VIP - FACT

As part of the push to announce the new MILYOO release, BIOGRAM v2, both Milyoo and the Cassette Library Promotions Division agreed that a mere throwaway bonus track would not suffice.

So it was that young Tommy Wilson was packed on to the next available Kentucky Express, non-stop direct service to West Norwood, armed only with a briefcase bursting with private tape reels of unreleased dubs, archived gems and refix contraband for the event ahead.

On arrival at SE27 towers, Milyoo duly took charge of the 2 dusty reel to reel players and gave a spell-binding performance, presented to you here as L!VE AT THE CASSETTE LIBRARY. An entire album performed and mixed live … and yours to download for free, courtesy of FACT magazine.
