Old Ludwig's "Emperor" piano concerto, to which the little Zs are dancing and we are enjoying in a crapulent haze.

Phantasm by Biosphere.

#We had a dream last night.
#We had the same dream.

Stunning.

Followed by

Vibratoire and then Circulaire by Biosphere.

Shattering.
Glorious.
Unforgettable.

Fine choices Jaded - Biosphere is a favourite artist of mine. Substrata is easily one of the best albums of the genre. And Patashnik really does take me back - will have to give it another listen again soon.

Cass is away, so yesterday was frittered away listening to my new Linn system whilst playing video games (Skyrim).

I had a marvellous time rediscovering my music collection and hearing it on a good system. It was rare for me to listen to full albums, in order - but a real treat.

The morning started with mainly vocally rock/folk stuff:

Jody Wildoose - Afterlife
Beta Band - The 3 EPs
Calexico - The Black Light
Dennis Wilson - Pacific Ocean Blue
James Yorkston - The Year Of The Leopard

By the afternoon, I went far more electronic:

Tim Koch - Faena
Eno, Moebius, Roedelius, Plank - Begegnungen
The Field - Looping State Of Mind
Tim Koch - islandtones (I was so overjoyed hearing Faena, that I had to really - he's an artist I know little about and his output seems limited to these two albums only)
Superpitcher - Kilimanjaro

Before ending with an all-time favourite - Global Communication's 76:14

A really wonderful day of the sort I don't tend to get with Cass around! Been a long time since I've played games all day whilst listening to music!

For the first time in many years, I went to a shop to buy an album on the day of release. I shall be listening to Kate Bush's 50 Words for Snow soon.

Interesting that HMV didn't have it in a special display stand. It was just in with the main lot of rock & pop CDs. Marketing fail!

They also offered my a loyalty card, priced at £3. This gets you two quid off after you've acquired ten-billion-trillion points.

Absolutely...I can highly recommend the new Biosphere album N-Plants too.

Cho Oyu 8201m - Field Recordings From Tibet is worth a listen too but I have to be in the mood for pure ambient sounds

GC 76:14 - classic stuff

The new Kate Bush album. Enjoying it far more than the rehash one.

Edit: but WHY Reg Dwight? His voice just jarred on me, that horrible cod-Yank accent.

Hawkwind. Wind of Change, Lost Johnny etc. Yes, I know, pap really, but ah the memories of Crazy Pauline from The Valleys with whom I spent an interesting speed crazed few weeks in Plymouth many years ago....

It's a bugger when all one has is memories.

The National, my favourites songs of theirs as a playlist.

That'll be the "Masters of the Universe" album, then, with the Roger Dean-alike cover. It's so Easy and Lost Johnny are two rarities on that. I go through heavy phases of Hawkwind every now and again, and recently found the very 'eavy version of 'Shouldn't Do That' from Roadhawks on Youtube. Gettin' aware.....

Lost Johnny & Wind Of Change may be found on Hall Of The Mountain Grill easily enough; It's So Easy was the B-side of Psychedelic Warlords.... I can't remember where I got it but yes, I have the single. There's a bangin' live version on The 1999 Party too.

As to that version of You Shouldn't Do That, guess what I'll be looking for this evening

I have discovered YouTube mix lists. Yesterday, I feasted on Django Reinhardt. Today, I'm in a John Coltrane kind of mood…

Indeed - I do have the album, but I was spotifying!

Steph · « **Reply #2515 on:** 24 November, 2011, 12:39:24 am »

The shuntdothat Roadhawks version is the one that starts with "Who loves ya baby?" before a choppy riff that launches into a most delightful wall of utter distortion, so very, very different to the original on "In Search of Space"

Mmmmm braincelltastic! Think I shall dig out "Warrior OTEOT" for some head distortion later this morning....

The Velvet Underground, "I'm sticking with you". At the request of SmallestCub. I think we will follow it with some Detroit Cobras, which usually works as wakey-up music.

Random play on my MP3 seems to have a bias for tracks from 'Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica' at the moment

I remember seeing Hawkwind at the Fairfield Halls, that Mecca of culture, when I was very young. Stacia was present. I was probably psychologically damaged.

Wouldn’t be allowed nowadays of course. Health & Safety. She could have had someone’s eye out.
