Songs I Am Listening To

A4 shredding mentalist

Having been blasted into the past by Mr Ed it brought recollections of

which somehow led to....

(preferred the book, they've had a good go with the video but my rendition's a bit more comical - like the song)

[Jason James Gairn]

Is this the same voice?

Love this track, essentially just alist of places, but somehow elevated by a great voice. having said that The greatest voice other than the late great Tommy Vance has to be Richard Burton. Under milkwood, "bible black".

Not sure J. Best voice, hard to say; best linguist, hard to surpass Stanley Unwin.

 

Another blast from the past for you, one to rattle the cone off your bin!

Not sure who cockney type towards end of this is but makes me think of Jah Wobble "Oh A13..."

Atree, if you liked FSOL's Papua New Guinea, you might also like this

Papua New Guinea was a real one off it seems, the album it was off, Accelerator, is otherwise a bit dull. Follow up album Lifeforms was a bit more interesting, and a bit more paranoid, but PNG was a real stand out track for them. However if you like Lifeforms you might also enjoy the album 'Amber' by Autechre (on Warp label)

 

If you click around on you tube you might find a few other Banco de Gaia tracks, but there aren't many from the Maya album, which iirc was pretty decent, there's a live version of kincajou, but compared to the original its a bit dead!

 

Imagine you're familiar with Coldcut and their label Ninja Tune? If not, well worth checking out

I was thinking of autechre as a comparison to fsol too - but also William Orbits StrangeCargo...

Finally, love the Lamb track, but it reminds me of this deeply moving piece, The Symphony of Sorrowfull Songs

Love the Mr Scruff Ed, just dug out the two albums i have.

 

Do you have any of the K7 dj-kicks mix cds, really recomend the Kruder and Dorfmeister,Nightmares on wax, and Thievery corp and Kid loco ones.

 

Here is a taster

[Mr Ed]

Yeah man, I've got the whole DJ kicks collection - Thievery Corporation is probably the finest, with K&D a close second.

I mean, just how cool is this...?

[woodplans]

Yeah the standard of mixing on all the dj kicks stuff is off the charts.

 

I worked in a pretty cool club in Manhatten about 10 years ago and had the privelige to see alot of these guys dj, hence the huge record collection!

 

The only thing i now miss about it all is the music.

This is a nice "strings" track zero 7
