What Album Are You Listening To Right Now?


Dr_Alimantado

Recommended Posts

One of my Fave's  - Samaris - "Silkidrangar", which is like sort of trip-hoppy, dubby, Fever-Ray chill-out electronica music of Icelandic poetry - so not at all niche, then.

Samaris: Silkidrangar

A strange mix of icelandic electronica with a hint of reggae

I really don't know what to think of even owning a copy of this. A really odd double album

I'm on side 1 which is classical and not that bad. It's by Keith Emerson

Side 2 is by Greg Lake, Side 3 is by Carl Palmer (I have no idea what awaits there) and side three is two tracks by ELP one of which is the ubiquitous prog of Fanfare for the Common Man. I'm kind of hoping side 4 is the worst bit but who knows

Someone gave me this years ago and I've never had the desire to play it but I really want to finish the cataloguing of the collection before New Year and I'm down to the last few albums and 12" singles before I move on to 10" and 7" records

Second record is warped (thankfully) aside from the classical side its utterly shit. Keeping for side one

This was in the pile for throwing out as it was warped and skipped but now I've rebalanced my deck and cleaned the record it plays perfectly despite the warp. I'm pleased, it was one of the few records in the throwing out pile that I didn't want to lose

This isn't music, it's art. From wiki

It was Negativland's third concept album, focusing on the hoax that band member Richard Lyons started, which claimed that the Negativland song "Christianity Is Stupid" inspired David Brom to murder his family with an axe

The first half of the album is composed of the tracks "Prologue" and "Helter Stupid". The two together form an extended piece lasting over 22 minutes. The concept, and some of the sampled material, came from a San Francisco television news program that was taken in by a media hoax perpetrated by Negativland while promoting its previous album, Escape from Noise. Other samples used included those from Rev. Estus Pirkle (further samples from the same sermon used in "Christianity Is Stupid"), an interview with Charles Manson, and what was the band's most brazenly unauthorized sample to date: "Helter Skelter" by The Beatles.

Parts of the "Perfect Cut" tracks on Side 2 draw from samples of "The Winning Score", a 1977 presentation by TM Century, producers of radio jingles and imaging.

In 2000, the band Chumbawamba, in reply to the EP The ABCs of Anarchism, used this album as one of their main sampling sources of WYSIWYG.
