Very small item here...
In a recent interview at insound.com, Thomas Morr explains the inspiration behind the title of his recent label compilation...
Q. What is the reason you called your first compilation "put morr ...morrisey"? Is it a word-joke or is it like a dedication?...
A. i can only say, that i was once asked by a french journalist to write one sentence about each of my artist. about styrofoam (morr music 010) i wrote that his voice samples reminds me of mr morrisseys singing. i told arne aka styrofoam the day before the mastering date of his album. he told me that in fact he learned singing with smiths songs and then we listened to smiths the night after - just this thinking about those carefree melancholic days when being young, realising a common past in music with my artists. i really suppose we all have some common key-records.
as i realise music mostly in a very ambient way, i just love the way to remember those pictures about music that once were put in my head. maybe itīs something like an up-to-date nostalgia.
maybe the next compilation title refers to mbv or seefeel and the next after to autechre. oops! and honestly i did this playing with words about morr(issey) when i was 15 years old and it was just funny to remember.
the smiths were important for my music socialisation, but new order, omd & soft cell were as well - so even if the title refers to this little story with arne, there might be something more behind it. maybe the same that happened through early too pure releases and tortoise 10 years later again.
