"I think it’s very pretentious for people to cite influences. It implies that, therefore, you’re carrying this on or taking this farther. Everybody’s always, “I’m influenced by this, I’m influenced by that.” What do you mean “influenced by”? You love that. You imitate that. But who knows whether what you do has anything to do with it." -- Arto Lindsay

 Listen to the show below! 

Artist Track Album Label Year Notes
Twin Cosmos Giniro no Tsubasa Double Action N/A 1982 Electronic-tinged psychedelic folk track from a Japanese twin brother duo. Opens first side of their yin-yang concept album.
Arto Lindsay Simply Are Noon Chill Bar/None 1998 A surprisingly mellow art pop track from a former no wave pioneer. 15 years passed, he's clearly far removed from his abrasive DNA days.
Elton Dean's Ninesense Nicrotto Happy Daze Ogun 1978 A sprawling avant-garde jazz piece with spiritual jazz undertones. Free-flowing brass arrangements. Dean was saxophonist for Soft Machine of the Canterbury scene.
Gianni Marchetti February Solstitium RCA Italiana 1978 Smooth, jazzy library music from a prolific b-movie film composer.
Khan Jamal Breath of Life Drum Dance to the Motherland Dogtown 1973 A spacey live vibraphone piece. Reflects Jamal's work with Sun Ra and the Sounds of Liberation.
Charlie Megira Tomorrow's Gone The Abtomatic Misterzinger Mambo Chic N/A 2001 An early hypnagogic pop (read: lo-fi neo-psychedelia) track. Only about two years late from hypnagogic pop pioneers Ariel Pink and John Maus.
Anne-James Chaton & Andy Moor Princess In A Rover P6 3500s V8 Transfer Unsounds 2011 A collaboration between a French spoken word artist and an experimental guitarist. Fragmented electroacoustic storytelling. Track likely references Princess Diana.
Stephen Scott Rainbows, I New Music for Bowed Piano New Albion 1983 A post-minimalist composition blending process-driven abstraction with a listenable and meditative quality. Light, airy, and soft sounds.
