"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. |
