Another weekend where I had to watch a football club stagger into the second division. The last few games were already unwatchable, so I have little hope that Stuttgart will remain in the Bundesliga. Past mistakes of only signing young, fast and talented footballers who are in no way up to the demands of the first division are taking their revenge. What the club's management, which is only out for self-promotion, is doing to an entire region cannot be described in words. And here, another change of coach (for the third time this season) shows absolute helplessness.
That is why it is better to write about something pleasant. James Holden, a London-based DJ, musician and producer, released a solo album last week, the first in a long time. The title Imagine This Is A High Dimensional Space Of All Possibilities says a lot about what we can expect on this album. An epic collage of his musical influences ranging from early techno to krautrock and psychedelic influences. For me, it's a little pearl in the totality of electronic and organic music in the albums released this year.
