Arthur Russell (dance, albums, tracks, youtube)

Demonoid · 11-27-2008, 02:53 PM

Anyone here listens to his music?
Some of his early works/collaborations were disco/dance stuff, but his music did evolve a bit more beyond that later. Hmm, I guess one could describe it as soulful, kinda minimalistic, disco-influenced stuff. Well, It does kinda feel different, so didn't know where to place this thread.
Both, Another Thought and World of Echo are great releases! There were some reissues later on as well, with some unreleased material, but I haven't acquired all of them yet. Anyways, here are a few tracks.

This Is How We Walk on the Moon

A little lost(sounds like John Martyn

)

That's Us/Wild Combination

World of Echo is one of my favorite albums of all time.

all I've actually heard is 'Another Thought' but it was all I listened to for weeks after I heard it

I only have Another Thought, I should get World of Echo though. A Little Lost is beautiful.

World of Echo is pretty illin', brah. I need some more of his stuff. Anyone know if that "World of Arthur Russell" compilation is any good? Or should I get another proper album?
