LIST 145 - 30/01/15
Hello again,
Bit of everything once more this week, including another early-2015 highlight, this time from The Decemberists - amusing video also. The Mogwai choice is taken from the EP of material left over from 2013's corking Rave Tapes album, and arguably represents the closest they've yet come to making a straight-up pop record. It's got words and verses and choruses and everything. Flippancy aside, I like it very much.
For the first time in six years of doing these Lists, I find myself adding no fewer than three obituary tracks to the end of this week's selection, following the passing of Edgar Froese (Tangerine Dream), Demis Roussos (included here in one of his very earliest incarnations, alongside fellow future superstar Vangelis) and punk overlord Kim Fowley in very quick succession.
I read that Tangerine Dream's 1973 debut album Atem ("Breathe") was John Peel's favourite album of that year, and there's much evident in that track alone that presages plenty about the subsequent paths both electronic and ambient music were to take on.
J xx
