Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room What Music Are You Listening To ?

Intrigued by your interesting post Martin, and being unfamiliar with some of the names I went looking online.

Is The Atomic Orchestra' our forum member Mr Ilektrik by any chance, and was the name inspired by the 2005 opera 'Doctor Atomic"? its by American composer John Adams who also composed the 1987 opera Nixon In China.

Most unexpectedly of all and by co-incidence, ZEA, who I've never heard of before, are actually playing in nearby Glasgow this coming Sunday the 29th!

A nice birthday present.

Yes it's me & no the name wasn't inspired by 'Doctor Atomic'. Never knew of it until you mentioned it, Core. I came up with the name myself. 'Atomic Flower' was inspired by the painting of the same name by Humphrey Spender. I've searched the net for a picture of the painting, but can't find it.

Been listening to

Pagan Dub Lord - 'Neon Icon.................From Above'

Avalon By Bus - 'Live @ Glastonbury 2010'

Glove Puppet Orchestra - 'Realms'

White Lies - Ritual

Dead Can Dance - 'Spiritchaser'

Started off with various Peter Gabriel tracks... moved on to David Bowie.

The Tantric Juju Clowns - as yet untitled album recorded live at Anew Cuisine.

Tracks:

Eros And The Bride Of Pan
Achieving Karma With A Pentacle Nail
He Watched The Tantric Juju Clowns And Then He Spoke His Words Of Wisdom

Had a look in the library as I was quite interested in finding a pic, but all I found were two books of realism photos from the time when Spender was involved in 'The Mass Observation Project', eerily fascinating in itself, but also somewhat depressing reminders of how people used to live in 1937 and the difficult years to come.

Its gonna sound like I've been stalking you now but all I could find online about any of those bands was one copy of a different Pagan Dub Lord album for sale, and the fact that Trillian Green (a Seattle trio of multicultural influences) had an album out in '95 called Psycho Tantric JuJu Jazz. And to think I thought that the internet had an answer for everything
