This album is brilliant! The concept, the claustrophobic mixing that makes it feel very cohesive, the overall narrative (big favorite for The Cured), and then the groove damn, it’s jackin’ but it’s sensitive!! Congratulations to him, he’s very, very talented.

TAPE SPLIT LE MATIN / JULES LE PULL
This is an unpromoted digital release album, I guess with a cute Xennial liminal vibe.
If you hear about it, it probably means you spend too much time on the internet. Personally, I am quite happy with this music, even though it would not easily stand out from the crowd.
About ten years ago, I wrote a super lightweight PHP script that let you upload your music online without relying on a corporate-owned platform. You don’t need a database either. I called it BondeCampe (I hope you get the joke).
Personally, my low-cost provider shut down my machine three times in ten years, and I had to reinstall everything each time, but that also proved that installation only takes ten minutes. Now I’ve switched to OVH, it feels much safer, and I hope I won’t have to reinstall anything for the next ten years. But to be honest, you’re always relying on a tech company at some level … unless you run your own server.
How does it work? You just create a folder with properly ordered MP3 files and a JPG for the cover. Upload it, and voilà, your album is online with a music player that lets anyone download it.
Maybe the one feature Bandcamp doesn’t have is that you can fully script your album pages, so if you want animations, this is a good way to do it.
All that to say that my personal music repository is back online. I just drop my demos there, everything I’m not selling on Bandcamp. That’s good electronic music ! 🤡
