Anteater's Daily Tune Roulette

Anteater · 05-26-2020, 08:37 AM

^ Thank you Lisna, glad you are tuning it and enjoying some of the material. The other Rypdal album I think you might particularly enjoy is 1976's After The Rain, which has a more orchestral approach. He also plays all the instruments instead of just guitar. It's a great "solo" project in the literal sense.

Anyway...

Max Corbacho - One True Light (2011) [Ambient]

This guy is as prolific in the electronic ambient world at this point as Robert Rich and Steve Roach, but his compositional voice is harder to define in some ways to me. This particular piece, put on his odds-n-ends album Lost Links back in 2011 because it didn't quite "fit" his other albums, is in my opinion his unassailable masterpiece. There's something about the undulating, gradually unfolding nature of One True Light that makes it special and uncannily peaceful to me. The aural equivalent of a plunge into cold, completely clear water on a sunny afternoon.

Wrong video in that last post.

I flubbed it on the initial post, but did in fact fix it afterwards.

Grinderman - Worm Tamer (2010) [Noise Rock]

My favorite Nick Cave project post-Birthday Party probably - super noisy, bluesy, jazzy and even punkish. The energy is palpable and his songwriting is sharp enough for a few good shaves.

John Luther Adams - Become Ocean (2014) [Modern / Contemporary Classical]

"Life on this earth first emerged from the sea. As the polar ice melts and sea level rises, we humans find ourselves facing the prospect that once again we may quite literally become ocean."

Masayoshi Takanaka - Seven Goblins (1981) [J-Fusion / Funk]

My favorite part of this song is where they say GOBURIN GOBURIN GOBURIN GOBURIN GOBURIN GOBURIN GOBURIN GOBURIN GOBURIN GOBURIN GOBURIN GOBURIN GOBURIN GOBURIN GOBURIN GOBURIN GOBURIN GOBURIN GOBURIN GOBURIN GOBURIN GOBURIN GOBURIN GOBURIN GOBURIN GOBURIN GOBURIN GOBURIN GOBURIN GOBURIN GOBURIN GOBURIN GOBURIN GOBURIN GOBURIN GOBURIN-

Capability Brown - Sad Am I (1973) [Psych-Rock / Prog]

Stellar blend of Beatlesque popcraft with early prog eccentricities. The vocal harmonies are utterly superb, as well as the jazzy drumming.

It is pretty neat that you and I seem to align on a lot of ambient / instrumental music and a fair amount of jazz too. Might be fun to try a co-journal at some point exploring different sides of that.

I think it would be a blast writing point counterpoint discussions on certain records. My ego says let’s do it on Freak Fighter! But it could be an entirely fresh journal as well.

That got me curious and so I looked up the first single Jon Anderson recorded and found this. The interracial flirtations depicted in the video are really progressive for 1964. Not saying it’s great musically but it’s definitely interesting

This is either a double A-Side or a B-Side, I’m not sure.

1964 : "You Came Along" / "Don't Make Me Blue" (7", Single)

^ That's a cool find OH, I actually had no idea.

Sunset Mission - Writer's Block (2019) [Indie Math Pop-Rock]

Don't know anything about these guys other than they're all in their early 20's and study at Berklee. Their sound is warm, catchy and full of clever little touches, so I think they'll go pretty far if they can continue growing. They're too technical for the mainstream, but I love what they're doing.

America - Coastline (1980) [Yacht Rock]

I could live in the walls of a prison
Where the warm summer winds would never blow
Then again, think of what I'd be missing (as to the other side)
And how some do it-
I'll never know
I'll never know...
