Our tower is currently under construction and might be ready by November. This list consists of recently released recordings that are getting attention from selected "new music" DJs at WSUM. Many of them do not show up in our overall "top-40" even though they get played on a regular basis by those DJs. This list is sent out biweekly, except when WSUM is not operating on its normal schedule because of winter or spring break, or other such things. If receipt of this list is an unwanted nuisance to you, please reply and we'll take you off the recipients' list. Archives of this chart can be found at the Breakthrough in Grey Room website: http://www.sit.wisc.edu/~jfheule/breakthrough/. Discs at the top of the list were played the most often. The shows most likely to play this music are on Mondays from 6 PM to Midnight and Wednesday from 10 PM to 1 AM (all CST). Listen live over the internet at http://wsum.wisc.edu.

[Emperor Norton] DJ Picks: Jacob Heule (Monday 9pm-12am): The Locust - "Flight of the Wounded Locust" [GSL]: Crazy fucking power violence. Short, fast and loud hardcore/metal-like stuff with weird synths. Songs range from 34 to 66 seconds, except the 2:36 epic all-synth title track. Pure insanity. There really isn't too much that needs to be said about these guys. Just listen to it. This CD release features 5 tracks from their split 7" with Arab on Radar. Very highly recommended. David Parisi (on hiatus): Fennesz - "Endless Summer" [Mego]: Almost like the Beach Boys, Fennesz's clicks and rubbings push melodies and sounds toward a stretched-out, calm condition. Even the song titles sound as though they're from a greatest hits surfing collection. Yet, the rippling bumps, bits of crackle and modulation take you out in a new electronical wave. There are moments of this disc that all people should know of when they think of ambience and chilled freak-out sounds. There are tiny noisy spurts present, but this disc has more soothing than static. For anybody who's interested in New Age type relaxation (or what it should be), the last track - Happy Audio - is the best rendition of the ocean beach I've ever heard. Fennesz gonna wash you out. Comments: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The fall schedule will start soon and there will be much more activity around here. We're behind on adding albums. Sorry. They'll be taken care of very soon (see above). I'll be at CMJ. Let me know if you will be. --Jacob Heule (Program Director / Experimental Music Director)
