Ah Swansea, I always used to go into that second hand place there I think called More Music and have a dig. Run by a guy who looked like the guitarist from Faith No More.
Foppās owned by HMV now
Windowlicker at Ā£2.99! Those were the days
Ha, Ha a close mate of mine worked in there - didnāt own it. He later ran Vinylism above Derricks records in Swansea.
Man I love Reich. Music for 18 is my favourite piece of music ever. Electric counterpoint is also beyond dope.
definitely, i saw different trains and some other reich pieces 5 years ago in concert in berlin. still in my headā¦
Ah cool, saw Different Trains in Bristol not so long ago and yeah it sticks with you. They also did a new piece of his called Pulse. Itās getting a release soon and beautiful if you havenāt come across it yet.
nice, just checked phase. think i like more his early work: clapping music, drumming and yes music for 18 musicians to name a fewā¦ essential pieces for me and also interesting in respect to the whole minimal electro movement.
canāt resist:
When I first came across him I thought sh1t this guys making tracks with an orchestra thatās like all the ambient Iām into. Then discovered heād been at it since the sixties - mind blown. On a classical note saw this harpist doing Glass pieces in Cardiff a few months ago. Sounded breathtaking in the concert hall.
haha, i know what you mean!
i love einstein on the beach. you probably already know this docu by greenaway about glass:

Not seen either of those. Thanks
Iām listening to a lot of Hotel Neon at the moment. Very good indeed.
Anyone care to recommend some solid ambient music to get my week going?
Iāve got this queued up for bedtime
i gotta add this one too. the last 1/3 is so good! thick ass beat.
I had no idea they had new music out. Thanks.
I keep coming back to the latest Nite Jewel album. Such lush and smooth production. Great arrangements. Great live performance too if you can catch her.
