Maybe you have one of those 21st-century record players that only pulls 20-second snippets from the entirety of your record collection and then compiles them into hour-long listening sessions (I’m assuming they exist), but most people don’t, and most people would probably prefer something a bit more smoothly produced than music delivered through the quick action of those fancy robotic arms. That’s where L.A. producer Ahnnu comes in, and even though the current Perception is less of an obvious patchwork than some of his previous fabrics, it fits right alongside them when you consider both the relative concision and the classy acceptance of samples and field recordings that would otherwise just be out on the street somewhere. Thanks for taking them in, Ahnnu.
And thanks to both him and Leaving for acting on the obvious musical adjacency by releasing Perception and 2013’s World Music (one of our favorites from that year) on a 2xLP, available now through the Stones Throw Store. The release is the first vinyl tribute for both albums, and in addition to the expected tracks, World Music remixes from Fumitake Tamura, EMV, Nerftoss, Andrew Pekler, and Leaving head Matthewdavid add some bonus to your already valued buck.
I think you should do it.
