Ambient electronic music that blows my dress up

Burial - Untrue
Burial -”Shell of Light” - Album: Untrue
Why: cuz it sounds like the beat from Orbital’s “Wish I Had Duck Feet” with Beth Gibbons melting like a birth candle over top

fizzarum - “exivyd” - Album: monochrome plural
Why: obviously made by a brain jettisoned into space after the biomech upgrades went wrong. But in a really zen way. In other words - just the real deal.


Jack Wall, Sam Hulick, Richard Jacques, David Kates - Album: Mass Effect Original Game Soundtrack
Why: Because it often leans towards Richard James Selected Ambient Works 2, and it does it right. Made finishing this massive RPG a lot more satisfying. More of this in games please.

Santana - “Mantra’ - Album: Lotus (disc 2)
Why: This rare import of Santana live in Japan back in the mid 70’s is just the lick. Insane percussion, stream of consciousness, fat analog synths and psychotropics. At about 180bpms. Amazing.

Mark Hollis
Mark Hollis - Mark Hollis

  1. Mark Hollis - “Inside Looking Out” - Album: Mark Hollis
    After a decade and a half with Talk Talk, frontman Mark Hollis comes out with a hyper-minimalist effort that explores even further the silence that “Laughing Stock” was approaching. Piano, clarinets, upright, acoustic guitar, strings all convene in as gentle a matter as can be, married together in a way that would make Van Morrison circa “Astral Weeks” proud.

  4. A Fine Frenzy - “Ashes and Wine” - Album: One Cell in the Sea

Top Ten Spins for Week of March 10th, 2008

Robert Plant | Alison Krauss - Raising Sands
Robert Plant | Alison Krauss: Raising Sands

  1. Robert Plant | Alison Krauss - “Through the Morning, Through the Night” - Album: Raising Sands
    Produced by T Bone Burnette, this record encapsulates an unbeleivable marriage between the unlikely duo that is Led Zeppelin’s former screamer and one of Country music’s beloved traditionalists. This is one of the musical moments that startles and immediately takes hold of the imagination, controlling the room like Omar Sharif in a drunken tirade. The last time I heard something like this it was Joni Mitchell’s ragged smoky voice returning from obscurity on “Both Sides Now.” Instant add.
  2. Talk Talk - “Ascension Day” - Album: Laughing Stock
  3. Cornelius - “Gum”
  4. Beta Band - “Assessment” - Album: Heroes to Zeroes
  5. Black Heart Procession - “A truth quietly told” - Album: A 3 song recording
  6. Bob Dylan - “Talkin’ Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre Blues” - Album: The Bootleg Series, Vols. 1-3 : Rare And Unreleased, 1961-1991 [BOX SET]
  7. Bonny “Prince” Billy - “I’ve Seen It All” - Album: Ask Forgiveness [EP]
  8. Bows - “King Deluxe” - Album: Blush
  9. Deerfhoof - “You, Dog (A.K.A. Kids Are So Small”
  10. Dinosaur Jr. - “Feel the Pain”
