Hey guys,
i'm bored. I've been sat in a library all day revising for maths
exams, so if playlists bore you, you can share my boredom. For
those of you who are interested, this is what i've been listening to
when i've not been in the library. (list in no particular order)
1. Ladies of The Eighties 'Turned on to You' (From 'Ladies of the
80's' LP on Uno Melodic, 1980)
[Produced by Roy Ayers. If you like RAMP, you'll dig this]
2. Young & Company 'I like (what you're doing to me) (12",
Brunswick, 1980)
[heard this first on deepdisco.com; goto
http://www.deepdisco.com/indexxx.html?http://www.deepdisco.com
/archive/00sep01.html to listen]
3. Sun Ra 'UFO' (From 'On Jupiter', El Saturn, 1979)
[Anybody got a copy of this for sale? anybody know where i can
get one? heard about it from www.kirkdegiorgio.com, found it on
AG. Sun Ra does disco. Yes!]
4. Terry Callier 'Dancing Girl' (Dancing Girl lp, Cadet, 1972)
[What can i say?]
5. The Magnetic Fields 'Love is...' (From '69 love songs part 3' lp
Merge, 1999)
[Bit odd, to say the least. Accidentally downloaded it on AG
thinking it was Carl Craig (The artist was meant to be 69). It starts
off with an amazing bassline which is crying out to be made into a
hip-hop tune... Rather looses the plot after the first 8 bars though.
One for the beard stroking indie kids]
6.John Matthias 'All the Time in the World' (7" Lifelike, 2001)
[Additional production credits go to Herbert. Not sure what he did
though... not a click in earshot. Very understated acoustic guitar
track. Similar to the Bees. Ish.]
7. Los Hermanos 'Birth of 3000' (12" Los Hermanos/UR, 2002)
[Produced by DJ Rolando. Sounds similar to some of the earlier
Red Planet. Melodic not minimal. Highly recommended.
Anybody know of any other new techno/detroit stuff that's like this?]
8. Inner Life 'I'm Caught Up (In One Night Love Affairs)' (12"
Prelude, 1979)
[Features Jocelyn Brown. Another deepdisco discovery. Why do
all disco songs have titles that continue in brackets, eh?]
9. Russ Gabriel 'We Will be Turning' (12" Out of the Loop, 2001)
[With a choir and beautiful strings and thumping broken beats, this
comes on like 4 hero, but, imho, exceeds them. I've picked up the
He's the Man 12" on Out of the Loop, & his thing on Trip Do Brazil
2. Both superb. Is there a Russ Gabriel discography on the web?
Or any articles about him? Anybody got any other RG
recommendations?]
10. FSOL 'live on VPRO Radio, Holland' (9/9/1994)
[How good were(are?) FSOL. All their live broadcasts from this
period are superb. Any one catch their last appearance on the
Essential Mix (BBC Radio 1); '95, i think? That really made me
want to be a 'dj'. I say 'dj' because it's not exactly clear that what
they did on that show was exactly djing. They played lots of other
people's records, but...]
Right, back to Vector Spaces.
