Maximalist and Excess

Some OTT music - Wire's celebration of excess and maximalist manoeuvres.

Louis Andriessen - De Stijl

Bow Gamelan Ensemble - Thundersheets-Sirens-Baths

Wes Montgomery - Bumpin' On Sunset

Milt Jackson - The Cylinder

Scott Walker - it's Raining Today

Chris Connor - Somrthing To Live For

Enjoy.

The Strings Have It

String driven or other excess flourishes -

Jo Stafford - I'll Be Seeing You

Nelson Riddle - Route 66 Theme

Les Baxter - Taboo

MFSB - Love Is The Message

Love Unlimited Orchestra - Strange Games And Things

Funky strings oh yes!


John Barry Orchestra - The Human Jungle

Herbie Hancock - Butterfly

Enjoy.

Ben Frost - Dark (OST)

I totally recommend the German web series Dark on Netflix and the associated soundtrack by Australian composer Ben Frost - album reviewed in this month's (September) Wire.

Good Morning

In Ashford

Spent the day in Ashford. Not the best place to spend a day - boring nondescript eyesore - but I had a few visits to do there so I sucked it up. At least I found a couple of quality Moleskine notebooks for two quid each brand new in a charity shop. Always useful these things.


They usually sell from £13 upwards.

Just Wondering

If you had to do without electricity for a week, what would you miss the most?

If you were going camping, what's the first thing you would pack?

Do you wish you could get away from it all?
