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

You know when you are in the car & you turn on the radio & hear something that immediately makes you listen. Well Radio 3 came on & I heard a rather exquisite piece of music.

When it had ended the presenter said it was called Quiet City by Aaron Copland

If you can spare 9 mins & 50 seconds of time to watch & listen to it. Click the link. You won't be disappointed.

Steve Jansen Slope

John Martyn Solid Air

Jon Hassell/Brian Eno Fourth World Vol.1: Possible Musics

John Foxx My Lost City

Started off with a blast from the past with The Kane Gangs two albums. The Bad & Lowdown World Of & then Miracle. They wrote some good songs especially Closest Thing To Heaven.

Paolo Nutini - Sunny Side Up. On first listen not as good as his debut but now on 2nd listen & it will grow on me for sure.

Quadruple thumbs up (if I had four thumbs that is)

Eyeless In Gaza - All Under The Leaves, The Leaves Of Life

Cheers! Ooooh - Eyeless in Gaza - a name I've heard frequently over the years but never got round to listening to. Any recommendations?

Today it's the 4AD compilation Lonely Is An Eyesore...which is coming off in a minute as it's driving me mad (I can't work out if it's just dated really badly, or I've just grown out of it)

John and Robin's - 'Mirrorball'

Kraftwerk - 'Radioactivity'

I was the same as you about EIG. Heard them mentioned over the years, but never took the plunge until last weekend when I bought "All Under The leaves'. So I recommend that one.

The music does remind me of 4ad bands. Keyboards are Dead can Dance-ish. Great use of experimental sounds mixed in with structured, mostly drum machine - led songs. it's a bit folk like in some places, which is a good thing.
