Post Midnight Grooves - Wired For Sound
Another mixed bag of grooves wired (get it ) for sound -
Burial- Stolen
Thomas Köner - Meta Incognita
Coil - Careful What You Wish For
David Toop - Phantoms Keeping Watch
Gavin Bryars - Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet (1975)
I love the way this builds up and up. Bryars recorded this old tramp and looped his singing for this 24 minute piece of uplifting music.
Philip Glass - Symphony No. 4 'Heroes' (1997)
"Heroes," like the "Low" Symphony of several years ayo, is based on the work of David Bowie and Eno. In a series of innovative recordings made in the late 70's, David and Brian combined influences from world music, experimental avant-garde, and rock & roll and thereby redefined the future of popular music. The continuing influence of these works has secured their stature as part of the new "classics" of our time.
Just as composers of the past have turned to music of their time to fashion new works, the work of Bowie and Eno became an inspiration and point of departure of for a series of symphonies of my own.
As I have been involved with the world of dance for many years I naturally mentioned the "Heroes" Symphony to the American choreographer Twyla Tharp. Straight away she wanted "Heroes" for her new dance company, and soon after, we met with David. He immediately shared Twyla's enthusiasm and I found myself writing a symphonic score shortly to become a ballet.
Liner notes by Glass.
John Zorn - Spillane Part 1
This Heat - Health And Efficiency
Health and Efficiency is an EP by English experimental rock band This Heat. It was released in 1980, through record label Piano. Re-released as a CD RP in the nineties. One of my all time faves in this genre.
Enjoy.
Wire magazine introduced me to all those in this selection.
