MUSIC: What are you listening to ? ?

[mwarsell]

J.S.Bach: Partitas and Sonatas for violin by Isabelle Faust. Gorgeous music and recorded at Teldex (I want to get to know exactly how this stage sounds for reference).

That's for classical. With soundstracks I'm moving on to a French composer Cyrille Aufort to check what he has been doing.

I recall as a young "Bach and roll" kid hearing a fellow guitarist talking about how cold and mechanical Bach was, "just listen to his fugues, they're all just scholarly exercises, mathematical". Luckily an older friend of mine was there, whom thereafter introduced me to this.

Bach fugues just scholarly exercises said he? Ask him to google Fantasien und Fugen, the c#-minor fugue from the WTK or the Passacaglia in c-minor for some pretty inspiring fugue writing.

Awesome soundtrack. Up there with uncharted 2 for me.

Try not to get too weirded out...I was listening to Last Of Us last week. Didn't even know anyone here was.

Shostakovich 10 and 11 Symphonies conducted by Bernard Haitink. Truly stupendous music.

I've also been listening to Shostakovich 10 lately but just blindly the various versions that exist on Spotify to see if some hit me more than others. It's my go-to when stuff is grim.

My Disco - Severe
The most recent albums by Plaid and Surgeon. (Too much, gotta stop)
Sonny Rollins-Newk's Time
The Ghostface Killah album with Badbadnotgood
Various David Axelrod (rip)
Barry Brown @ King Tubby's Studio
Some recent DJ Shadow and Run the Jewels
Sleep-Dopesmoker
PM - RAM and Band on the Run

Somehow just discovered John Coltrane -Sun Ship...what an album
Most recent vinyl acquisitions:
King Crimson- Red (John Wetton rip, KC tours w 3 drummers this year)
Funkadelic - Maggot Brain
SR - Saxophone Colossus

Usually put this beat on for a nice Friday feeling, great bass and uplifting nightlife track!


also this tune, anything from Lifelike, Kris Menace, Alan Braxe, Fred Falke and crew is top! Check the lifelike remix on Under the fuse of love, great jazzyness!
