“What a Mistry ” Tikiman
Hauntology is a concept in nascent state (to borrow a term from Francesco Alberoni). That’s why it is still flexible. Any good music with the word “burial” in it deserves to linked with the concept. Not including Basic Channel‘s Burial Mixes has been an oversight. I just set that straight. (within 15 minutes from time of posting, check Google)
Some background info on Basic Channel and its reggae releases labeled Burial Mix. If Wackies Records is the natural heir to Lee Perry (the same laid-back percussion, flying cymbals en relaxed groove), then the Burial Mix releases are the natural heirs to Wackies. There, we’ve just connected the 1970s to the 2000s
Some obliquely related burial imagery:
Tomb of Pompeii by Jean-Baptiste Tierce, 1766
Cenotaph for Newton (1784) by French architect Étienne-Louis Boullée
All I know is that Moritz von oswald suffered a stroke at Dublin airport after playing at the Dublin Electronic Arts Festival. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family…..
Sad news indeed, I hope he recovers quickly.
