John Foxx - The Quiet Man


Found this hard to get my head round. I'd much rather read it in book form than have it read out to me by Justin or even John.

Okay, I know I often mention the weather in this thread, but it’s been such a beautiful day outside earlier. Clouds in the sky, yet still mildly warm and with a gentle breeze, and I really was thinking how lucky I was just to have the simple pleasure of standing outside having a bit of peace in a quiet secluded little garden, with a drink in my hand (tea in my case!) and listening to atmospheric music filtering out from the house.

The thoughtful lo-fi acoustics, subtle electronica and field sounds of Benoit Pioulard: Temper, followed by Boards Of Canada; In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country, and Mirrorball, which I’ve not listened to for a few weeks, but every time I return to it, much as I love his work with Louis, I become more convinced that for me at least its growing to be Johns best project since his solo career, or maybe I’m just a sucker for lush romanticism.

Off to Lisbon tomorrow , then onto Madeira getting myself in the mood by listening to folk/Fado crossover MADREDEUS As far removed from retro future electronica on the musical spectrum as is humanly possibly , yet great stuff all the same

Yeah I get Musically Seaonal Affected Disorder too! It's why I can only listen to The Garden in Spring/Summer and The Golden Section in Summer/Autumn!

Re - Mirrorball - I think along with Tiny Colour Movies and The Quiet Man its clear the 'electro' phase of his music is almost over*

Today I'm sliding down the vague conversation of Ultravox!, Ha!-Ha!-Ha! and Systems of Romance

*mind you, I'm saying that and Flightpath Tegel came out of nowhere and we've still to hear his stuff with Paul Daley yet and Daley's half responsible for the brutalist electro structures of Leftism and Rhythm & Stealth not someone you'd call a music wallflower...best not to write off the electro phase just yet - there still blood in those Metal Beats.

Metal Beats, or Mirrorball Beats… bring it on smile

This afternoons musical tea break tracks were:
Bowie: Art Decade, & Moss Garden (I’d love a whole album of that track),
followed by Stars Of The Lid: Piano Aquieu, & Mullholland

Sweet Billy Pigrim - We Just Did What Happened & No One Came.


Checked them out basically because they are on David Sylvians Samadhisound label & after hearing Tim sing Sleepyard on the Slope album. He has a lovely voice & the tunes just flow.

Hello,

I browsed through this thread today for the first time.

Really interesting and there is some really cool music referenced here.

I will definitely follow it from now on and I will be buying some of the music mentioned!

THANKS!!!

Anyway, at the moment I'm listening to Elbow: Seldom seen kid.

I saw them supporting Coldplay in Charlotte last week. They were really good and seemed really nice people!

My favourite track is:

Two of the Touch cassette series today - Touch: Feature Mist [T1] and Touch: Meridians One [T2] - it's strange listening to these after such a long time, they feel like they're from another world.

Systems of Romance - It's been a while since I've played the CD (I normally listen to it on my ipod), so I hadn't looked at the beautifully put together booklet in some time - just gorgeous!

Right, I'm off to sing loudly and badly to When You Walk Through Me and annoy the neighbours wink

It's warm tonight,
It rained tonight,
The windows are all open wide...
