I’m listening to CD 11 of a 14 CD boxset retrospective of Éliane Radigue. A French pioneer of minimalist electronic music.

Thanks for posting this. As much as I love electronic music I’m beginning to realise that my knowledge of genre’s history is woefully inadequate, I know very little about anything prior to Tangerine Dream or Kraftwerk really so finding out about/listening to Éliane Radigue is cool.

On the off chance that you haven't had a taste of Tim Blake's 70's electronica, may I suggest you keep an eye/ear open for Crystal Machine and New Jerusalem.

Another new one n me, thanks!

Hope you enjoy, his solo work was first half of the 70s, contemporary with TD, but played solo & live. He was also the synth player with Gong and more recently with Hawkwind. This short track from Gong is an indication of where he was heading. I wore the album out back in the day!

Is this a first time mention of Venetian Snares on BC? 

I've recently come across a whole bunch of stuff on French ambient electronica label Ultimae by way of Carbon Based Lifeforms. Over the last last coupla weeks I've not been able to get enuff of AES Dana, especially...

I'm digging AES Dana! When I get the chance that is between repeatedly playing Wonderful World by Nine Horses...

Why are they all standing on individual rugs? Did they bring them from home? I never thought of taking a rug around with me. It's a good idea, 👍

You've not played enough dives or festivals with slippery surfaces, maybe..? It lends a dash of 'home comfort' to the occasion. I'm a drummer, so (obviously...) I have a rug; our rehearsal space is laid out in similar fashion to the video above (albeit a tad smaller room...). Mickey 3D have an armchair and standard lamps, with lampshades, on their stage; it's part of their atmosphere. Try it, they're fun..?

Above link is to the whole album. There are a couple of interesting Led Zep reimaginings.

The standout original track is this:

 

Also worth checking out is his previous album with a great Jeff Buckley cover and some more amazing originals with throbbing OC-2-type bass on some tracks.

Full album:
