It's such a lovely record.Yr Heartouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13069476478838746714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3579071422066847226.post-50954426386915999042011-04-28T18:11:31.686+01:002011-04-28T18:11:31.686+01:00A belated response to this great piece of research...A belated response to this great piece of research. I completely love Nuno Canavarro's Plux Quba and have done so since Jim O'Rourke reissued it on Mookai in 1998. I always thought Plux Quba was completely unique in terms of its time - the sounds are so original and well chosen and although it's always felt very fresh and primitive, it's also extremely graceful and by the end sounds classic. I was obsessed with it for a long time and through the years I've found three or four other tracks from a similar time period (1988) but was unaware of his participation in an early 1980s synth pop group. I suppose I always thought of him as an academic / music student type but the pop aspect connects him with his fans Mouse On Mars who I believe introduced Jim O'Rourke to the record. Great stuff!Stephen Pastelnoreply@blogger.com
