Truelove’s Gutter

Richard Hawley’s new album is a romantic loungecore delight. My favourite track is the haunting “Don’t Get Hung Up in Your Soul”, which features a musical saw – listen to the other tracks for some equally unusual instrumentation…

Brian Eno – Music For Airports interview

An interesting clip on YouTube on the inspiration for Eno’s seminal ambient release.

Sidenote: just found out that Muzak was the name of an actual company!

Tapes for Listening (Tapes for Dancing)

A funny wee music video on Vimeo made using tapes from tapedeck.org

Dub Echoes (a dubumentary)

Traces the origins of the Jamaican dub music and it’s influence on the development of hip hop and electronic music: www.dubechoes.com

4 car-related concept albums

  1. Autobahn – Kraftwerk
  2. Stainless Style – Neon Neon
  3. Landcrusing – Carl Craig
  4. Little Deuce Coupe  - The Beach Boys
Useless fact: Autobahn and Landcruising both being with a sample of car door being closed and an engine starting. (And the title track of both albums is outstanding too.)

Lykke Li Live

Louder and better than in her album. Recommended. Listen here.
