jazzy_daveI was going to do an angsty political rant but then - fuck - thought better of it, and do a music post instead. Another one you ask, Well yes , because it is music that is keeping me sane!!!
John Martyn - Small Hours
Engineer Phill Brown, on the recording of this album:
"Chris Blackwell has this house in England that's surrounded by this big gravel pit out west of London and we did the John Martyn album out there in '76. He has these converted stables which are little flats. We set John Martyn up in one of these with his guitar pedals and amps and everything with splits all the way through there after every gadget and the guitar. We had seven or eight feeds of choice of his guitar. We then got a large PA system and we pumped the guitar out across this lake, this old gravel pit, and then mic'd up the lake basically...I've always described it as coming from another universe. This was 4 o'clock in the morning and the lake would go almost silent. We got birds and lapping water. One of the tracks, "Small Hours," is just one guitar with a few lines of vocals but it's such a full sound."
Talk Talk - I Believe In You
Christine and the Queens - People, I've Been Sad
Nina Simone - Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues
LCD Soundsystem - Someone Great
Enjoy
