Call us Billy Blanks and Roddy Piper, cuz we’re back in action. On this episode, we’re reuniting after some weeks in the wilder and woolier reaches of Canada. There’s a rundown of what Alex missed at Terminus, and a Pick 5 of records we like to listen to at bedtime! All this and more of the same nonsense we’ve been doing for the previous 115 episodes of We Have a Technical!

We Have a Technical 116: Crunk Juice
Re: Battery & Ivoux — yes, they were based in California — the SF Bay Area in particular. COP International’s US-based HQ was in Oakland, and they were local.
Some great sleepytime records that come to mind for me personally are:
Love Spirals Downwards – Flux
oOoOO – Without Your Love
Autumn’s Grey Solace – Over the Ocean
Black Tape for a Blue Girl – As One Aflame Laid Bare by Desire
Most Blvck Ceiling material
Can’t say I ever considered the first two This Mortal Coil albums fuck music! I’ll have to revisit them in that context and get back to you in all the lurid details I know you’re dying to read about.
Loved The Hope Blister mention as well.
So, I must confess that I do not listen to music in order to fall asleep. That said, I do like the idea, and were I to have a top five “sleepy records”, I would opt for these;
William Basinski – Disintegration Loop
Kevin Drumm – Imperial Distortion
Philip Jeck – Stoke
The Caretaker – Persistent Repetition of Phrases
Maurizio Bianchi – Mectpyo Bakterium
