    Black Box 19 :: Efil4Onket

    BB19 :: Efil4Onket by Simon Saint-Simon Efil4Onket Designed and composed by Simon Saint-Simon C Ya Simon Pukey It is with deep regret and sadness that we must confirm to the listenership the departure from The Ark of Simon Clifford Pukey. Not only was he the chief engineer of Black Box and an expert in his field but he was also a dear friend. Not citing ill health as a reason he referred to a desire to pursue more pure and consistent political and philosophical aims with his group Brothers Bear Arms. With this in mind Simon has issued the following statement (referenced in part below) on his Facebook account 'I hereby recognise myself as a sovereign state and here forth remove myself from the digital media light district, severing all ties forthwith. Like all organic creatures I find repose in shadows. I find myself an auratic, autonomous and uncommodifiable individual and refuse any longer to support exploitative frameworks in exchange for vicarious identity & second hand love. Safe voyage my brothers and sisters. The night is long but i will be at your shoulder always. Dont forget.' This is my musical farewell (i only know how to party not how to grieve) at a loss of a dear brother as relevant as Ersnt, Mayakovsky, Bakunin, Cendrars, Kerouac, Levan, Alkan, Fellini, Prince and every other anarcho-disco legend not mentioned.

    Black Box 17 :: Swallows' Pit

    Swallows' Pit Illustrated by Milla Galea Composed by Simon Saint-Simon 3/3 recorded live at Westminster Road Necropolis. Twilight has fallen upon the terminal dawn and no day to speak of lies crooked between atrium panes. Feathers have been spilled upon lost marble flooring but before these petrifications, a lively August swaying brought to fruit the globular and monal last spits of Simonhain which was accompanied, as is the tradition, by the bearing aloft of chairs, arms and other instruments of love. This year the females and males played in honour of Dickie Hyde who came northwards to suprise himself square within the pyramid, laid-bare as he was with gauntlets and down-laden with dumb number. Sounds: 01 Fuck Buttons - Surf Solar 02 Coil - The Snow 03 Sorcerer - Surfing At Midnight (Prins Thomas Miks) 04 LCD Soundsystem - Bye Bye Bayou 05 Moodymann - It's 2 Late 4 U and Me 06 Nosaj Thing - Heart Entire 07 John Robie - Vena Cava 08 Pacific and Loverman - From Outer Space (Moxie edits John Cooper Clarke) 09 Omar feat. Stevie Wonder - I'm Feeling You (Henrik Schwarz Remix) 10 Rocha - Hands of Love 11 Phenomenal Handclap Band - You'll Disappear (Horse Meat Disco Remix) 12 Phoreski - Slow Me Down 13 Professor Genius - Night Games 14 Subway - DBO 15 Holy Fuck - SHT MTN 16 Wire - Three Girl Rumba 'Now summer's tumult through sweet clover has been clasped to the hold I ask you, sizzled brethren, to drop your rates, break water, cease your faring and bubble up sotto voce to just touch Saturn's ring of hearts'. xxx sss

    Black Box 16 :: L'Eternel

    Illustrated by Milla Galea Composed by Simon Saint-Simon 2/3 recorded LIVE at the Frog and Nightmare, as part of Chester's 'Simonhain' festivities celebrating the end of summer, the dead and the return home of a heavily corrupt and compromised political careerist who cares not a jot about the Wales he isn't from. Local bumfunsters 'What Do You Do?' egg-on Simon to loosen the swelling gourd of his glans into the divinely unbalanced ampola of bass bin and tweeter and then leer in character at the salivating throng as they lasciviously ululate at the trough. In a heavy trance this is the midpoint of the rite. Sounds: 01 Justin Vandervolgen - Better Middlands 02 Village People - Fire Island (Horse Meat Disco edit) 03 Everything Everything - Suffragette Suffragette 04 Eyeko Syko - Loverde (Horse Meat Disco 'Eyeko Dyko' edit) 05 Mindless Boogie - Hot Boogie 06 Wu-Tang Clan - Rush 07 Mobb Deep - Shook Ones Pt.II 08 Whitesnake - Still of the Night 09 Todd Rundgren - International Feel 10 Massive Attack - Paradise Circus (Gui Boratto remix) 11 The Crystal Ark - The City Never Sleeps 12 Charlotte Gainsbourg - The Operation (Superpitcher Remix) 13 Ron Hardy - Sensation 14 Ministry - I Wanted To Tell her (Naum Gaubo edit) 15 Moxie - Use Me John 16 C2C4 (Carl Craig) - Specimen 2 (Talking Heads) (Moxie) 17 Radiohead - Reckoner (Nosaj Thing remix) 18 Fuck Buttons - Surf Solar '...And as the universe was spat out circular, with no legs or feet, so it was St.Simon who tore asunder the annular muscle, passed through the mirror and man-made the mortals dance, in the image of the Olympian gods'. xxx sss
