Good Morning

Brian Eno

Watched a great documentary last night on Amazon Prime -

Brian Eno - 1971-1977: The Man Who Fell To Earth

"This documentary film - the first ever about Eno - explores his life, career and music between the years 1971 & 1977, the period that some view as his golden age. Featuring numerous exclusive interviews, contributions from a range of musicians, writers, collaborators and friends - plus performance and studio film and an abundance of the most exceptional music ever created."



Roxy Music - Ladytron (Old Grey Whistle Test, 1972)

Brian Eno - Sky Saw

David Bowie - Subterraneans

Brian Eno coined the term ambient, and his use of ambience on this collaboration helps to create this album by Bowie.

Eno of course coming out of art school was influenced by John Cage, minimalism, the avant-garde and experimental music.

So, today will be more of that ilk.

Enjoy.

In Canterbury

I was back in the cathedral city doing a couple of visits and afterwards, I perused the chazzers and found some really good jazz and other music going cheap in various charity outlets (thrift shops to our American cousins). These were the finds -

Abbey Lincoln - Straight Ahead (Candid)
Olga Konkova - Her Point of View (Candid)
Kid Ory - Creole Classics (Naxos Jazz)
Broadcast - Work And Non-Work (Warp)
Mercury Rev - All Is Dream (V2 Records)


Lunch was a pepperoni pizza baguette and followed by cookie and cream.
The weather remained okay despite it being rainy at times.

So tomorrow I will be going over to the island - Sheepy to you lot.
