Rolling 'One Track Per Week' Thread 2014

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcUNiOtkjCA

Israel 1973.

One Hit Wonder written by the man who is now the most successful Israeli singer - Shlomo Artzi.
sung by Dorit Pen.
wonderful vocals, melody and arrangements.

If the quality will remain as high as these first posts, then this will be my new favorite thread. Some of these are proper earworms. Keep it up, folks. Next week.

co-signed, just finished listening to these and you all have great taste. someone who knows how, could maybe make a spotify and put it at the top of the thread?

this is a song by afrojack & martin garix called "turn the speakers up". it has a driving beat and a pumping bassline. it is full of energy and literally makes you "turn the speakers up". it has a very memorable melody that will have you humming it along. this song will have you tapping your feet to the rhythm. it has a very memorable drop that will leave you wanting "more and more". this is a classic and could be a number one hit of this year

this band is called Afterthem and their soundcloud says they are 'electro-grunge' but they don't really sound v electro or grunge to me, maybe more like a prog group who tried to go pop/new wave in the early 80s? some of the other songs on their youtube page are more zolo

I think I linked to a playlist rather than an individual track? the track I was trying to link to is called 'pyro' ftr

still spinnin

I mentioned this in the summer jamz thread, but this local band has become my new favourite act this summer. They combine trad Brazilian forro to trad Finnish (pre-rock) pop and dance music, with some added reggae and rap flavour. Sounds horrible on paper, and the band members looks like dirty hippies (though the lead singer is really cute - superficial, I know), but the music is quite good, catchy hooks and great arrangements, the shit just works!

anticipating SYRO, this track is chock full of 'PHEXIAN delights.

Yeah really enjoying pretty much all of this thread
Personal highlight, probably the Affie Yusuf track - uber relaxing

And the Mr Benn esque video was nice too

does anyone know from where the Mr Benn esque video originates?

A company called "the 29nov films" apparently

its not by them

its from a 1977 film by Frederic Back

http://www.fredericback.com/cineaste/filmographie/taratata/index.en.shtml

thanks saer!

ooooooh skot otm about Jigsaw Puzzle! Total jam!

Frederik B, does a non-dj moondawg version of the money mp3 exist? I think I need one.

I don't really know, I still don't understand the world of mixtape music, but I very much need one as well. DJ Moondawg is kinda the worst. The whole tape is very good, but so weirdly put together. I'm just listening to the video over and over.

This has been on almost constant repeat here. I even made an edited version of it without the intro and outro, so that I can have it on a neverending loop.
Song is of course a cover of an old American standard, from Stina Nordenstam's covers album. The other standout on that album is Purple Rain.

this stuff is killing me this week. i am not a big bill nelson or be bop deluxe fan at all (lord knows, i've tried over the years...) but he was just a kid when he made this and man oh man it is right up my alley.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHKKV4YAXrA

(there is a drum break on one track from this album that i would marry if i could. won't post it though. you can look for it if you want.)

One track per week Scott!

I made a spotify playlist, I'm not 100% sure how to link to it though. If this doesn't work maybe someone who isn't a complete idiot cam try:

http://open.spotify.com/user/ap33/playlist/7rDnFJ8WJnB1lVNBeVHjO3

couldn't find the Afrojack & Martin Garix and Dog Legs tracks, or nostormo's 70s Israeli track

oh i thought it was a week...sorry.

J/K

I'd just thought I'd start a new week every monday, to make it easier to remember.

I've been digging this track a lot, a friend of mine from Minneapolis who's been knocking around various alt-country projects for quite a while, drifting closer to blue eyed soul here. Kind of reminds me of Timmy Thomas' "Why Can't We Live Together."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZ1uTusZKrA&feature=youtu.be

Ooh lots to catch up with, currently really enjoying the 6th Borough Project album
Particularly this cosmos-stomping tune
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TERInmBTbiw

I've harped on about this on ILM before, but this is taken from Ariel Raminez' Misa Criolla mass which was composed in the early 1960s after the Vatican ruled that masses could be written in vernacular languages other than Latin. It features a lot of traditional folk instruments and singing from South America. The whole mass is very short and worth a listen through, but this is the highlight for me:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=da9x0ZxtG3k

I just got caught up in this live video so i'm back to listening to Caetano Veloso's O Leaozinho again and again.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1WDI3vmbVI

That amazing whistle. Who arranges tracks like that? Weird sparse folk is probably my favorite Veloso, Joia is one of my favorite records. If it had O Leaozinho instead of Help on it, it would compete with being best album ever.

Dammit! This is the original version, with the whistle.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yW0urIU5vpQ

AFX-Mangle 11 (Circuit Bent V.I.P Mix)

because aphex twin, and this track is monstrous.

i'm flying high! i'm flying high now!

I'm excited that there is going to be an ilm Eurovision Song Contest poll, though it's going to be several years until it happens so I've been listening to lots of Eurovision this week, still think this might be my favourite (Nina Morato 'Je Suis Un Vrai Garcon', France 1994)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gzs60_xLeyA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXn_Ev36QJo

xp That's gotta be one of the finer entries from France in the last 25 years
I did enjoy the Sébastien Tellier and Jessy Matador tracks in recent events

Wanted to post a track that reflects my feelings of the last week. Originally I wanted to post the Jabberjaw version of "Rock Star" where Courtney tracks her vocals with 15 overdubs. But instead I'm posting this! Have a good week!

Been listening to Yello's "Live at the Roxy NY Dec '83" a lot lately, it's gotta be one of finest live performances by an electronic artist. For some reason it wasn't included in the recent reissue series except as a heavily edited version, but the full 15 minutes is the shit!

all of Yello's videos from the 80s are so incredible looking. did Dieter Meier direct them?

just been catching up with this whole thread. enjoyed pretty much everything here to be honest.

New Musik- Living By Numbers

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viOAiUH0T1Q

okay I'm in with a calendar reminder.
I was shocked I've enjoyed the Lecrae album as much as I have; xtian rap is hardly a place i find worthwhile to troll but about 75% of Anomaly is quite good. Stylistically listening to a rapper who doesn't curse and has some flow is kinda unique. The lack of misogyny, consumerism, physical violence and minimal preachiness is a fun change of pace after putting bobby shmurda on repeat.
anyway, here's an anti-consumerist anthem from Jeremy Lin's favorite artist that interpolates luniz's 'i got 5 on it' and that also doesn't suck and that's a sentence i never thought i'd type.

It's in Pedro Costa's Colossal Youth, which I watched a few days ago. The song salutes the heroes of the Cape Verdean struggle for independece, foremost among them Amilcar Carbral, who was assasinated a few years earlier, which makes the 'viva Cabral' sad and ironic. Also because during the making of Colossal Youth, Ildo Lobo, the lead singer in Os Tubaroes, died as well. Hauting and sad film, haunting though optimistic song.

That Caetano Veloso song Frederik B posted is lovely, but I can't help thinking it's going to turn into a Belle and Sebastian song any moment.

This is most likely old news among certain ILM contingencies, but I'm still in love with this track:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7trsy11auM

Feels like it's high time since someone like Popcaan came along. Love the lyrics to this one too.

That Caetano Veloso song Frederik B posted is lovely, but I can't help thinking it's going to turn into a Belle and Sebastian song any moment.

It's so indie that Beirut has covered it, so yeah, otm.

Great Popcaan track as well.

an alluring and enchanting tango-ish piece of contemporary jazz

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULDI2_Gv77s

whole popcaan album is great; maybe one of faves of the year

Frederik - after I posted I put on the CV song again and had it in my head rest of the day. It's certainly grown on me a lot. Made me dig out some Os Mutantes and other Tropicalia stuff too.

Sweet Popcaan track
Really only heard (and loved) 'Waiting So Long' over the summer - will def check out the record.

The Brett record might seem a bit 'two-years-ago-y' but it does a great job of topping the sounds of Chad Valley, Kisses et al

I can't get this out of my head recently, have been playing the album frequently and love Autumn Leaves as well, but there is just "something" about love for sale.

That Fantastikoi Hxoi is great! (also weird that it's not transliterated as Echoi or Exoi, unless I'm up meself.)

ILXor, ithappens, posted this the other day on Facebook and I haven't been able to stop listening to it since.

New Musik - This World of Water

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbJIu_na4gY

One of the funner things with foreign films is getting to know cheesy pop songs from other countries. This is from the new Ozon, and is probably a queer anthem in France. It's used that way, anyway. It's catchy.

Brigit Novik - The Wedding Dance

partner of + collaborator with Robin 'Pop Muzik' Scott, aka M

this is very jaunty! is the melody borrowed from something famous, it seems familiar, but I can't place it?

the verse melody kind of reminds me of Kraftwerk's 'The Model'

Silvania - Pálido final

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzlIA_LTkVY

dubby ambient pop by a Mexican band that started out as a shoegaze act. ymmv.

"Murmuration" - GoGo Penguin. I'm not familiar with modern jazz but a friend hipped me to this and its really lovely.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFoJli7qRdc

The song over the end credits of Pride. Just a great song. 'I never cried / the way I cried over you' is cliché, but earned by 'as I put down the telephone / and the world it carried on' 'Another man has lost friend / I bet he feels the way I do'... The sense of private loss, but that there's just too much loss in the world for anyone else to pay attention.

I can think of few things as horrifying as the aids epidemic.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3-ZbN72Itk

this is from a 1981 movie called Vaa Intha Pakkam or Vaa Indha Pakkam, the full soundtrack is on youtube and spotify under the second title (in the UK, anyway)

the soundtrack seems to have been composed by this gentleman as far as I can tell: https://oldmalayalamcinema.wordpress.com/2010/10/13/shyam-my-10-favourites/

Josh White - Told My Cap'n

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7b46zlLL88c

he's mostly remembered as a blues/folk revivalist (and I think he gets short shrift for being 'too commercial' or 'too polished' to play the blues, which is nonsense), but this is a great vocal quartet recording from his 1940 LP Chain Gang

wow, that's a lot of surface noise. here's a better upload:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psfcyqHEyD0

Yeah, I've seen A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night. Insane that that soundtrack isn't on spotify, if it's already been released in the US. That is one cool collection of tunes. Have listened to Death all over as well, but that is by White Lies, and no matter how masterful it's used in the film, I'm not going to rep for fucking White Lies. But here's a nice Iranian rock song by a band called Radio Tehran. Their whole album is on spotify, and it's fine.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8sI8PUQiqg

Black Blood and the Chocolate Pickles - Mississippi Mud

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfIeZuZnbBY

(haunting rare groove funk)

I like this thread. Here's the spotify playlist for 2015's picks
ILX's One Track Per Week 2015 Thread Spotify Playlist

cheers fct - i've found out so many great tracks through this thread.

https://youtu.be/7AJX4flkK_w

Marc Baron - 1991-2005 (track 1), from Hidden Tapes

great noise record

So Ingrid Bergman. This is quite honestly the track that most reminds me of her. It's what's played in Histoire(s) du Cinema as a celebration of neorealism, a segment that begins with Bergman on the volcano in Stromboli. Her Rossellini-years are where she's at her most artful and brave, so of course her centennial should be celebrated through cheesy Italian schlager.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEFoEgEKQyQ

https://youtu.be/gTRJmfzM5SY
Nicolai Dunger Will Oldham - Last Night I Dreamt of Mississippi

The Angels - I Had a Dream I Lost You

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBn8ZiMDhVY

unanthologized girl group gem from 1967

Plumtree - The Game's Over

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9BorH4UBt0

been listening to this nonstop for the past ≈8 years. probably the best band to come out of the '90s Halifax pop-rock scene

8 years / 3'45'' = 1,121,280 spins. I think you are good for the Guinness Book. ;-)

French act from 1984. Super smooth

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXjSukyeptA

can we start doing this again?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlUw5nlAXIo

For Sale by Twinkle - this is the b-side to her 1982 cover of I'm A Believer, the first new music she had released since 1975. The music was written by Simon Darlow, who seems to have been an associate of Trevor Horn and wrote songs for The Buggles, Dollar, Toyah and others. somewhere between Kirsty MacColl and Reputation era Dusty Springfield, or maybe something él Records

the single cover is neat as well

https://secondhandsongs.com/picture/168000/original

yeah I found some great stuff in this thread.

Daniel Lanois - Frozen

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TnV6d7yiL0c

Japanese country reggae

I'm surprised The Smiths didn't appropriate that Twinkle photo for one of their sleeves. I listened to her Michael Hannah compilation a few years ago but wasn't too thrilled with it, title track aside. interesting backstory, though:

After dating Brian Jones, Paul and Barry Ryan, and Peter Noone, Twinkle settled with a male model, Michael Hannah. In 1969 she recorded a Motown-style song about him, "Micky", which was produced by Mike d'Abo, but their relationship was tempestuous, and she was admitted to hospital after attempting suicide.

In 1973, Hannah encouraged Twinkle to record new material; but he was killed in the Paris air disaster of 1974. The album, with the title Michael Hannah: The Lost Years, was eventually released in 2003 and told of their relationship. Twinkle married their mutual friend, Graham Rogers, a model who was better known as the Milk Tray Man.

Playgroup - Going Overdrawn

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3F-l93vM3A

dub + calypso + Gypsy fiddle + Adrian Sherwood at the controls. this was also used as the backing track for Chantage's 'It's Only Money'. the two Playgroup albums are probably overdue for reevaluation in light of the recent African Head Charge and Missing Brazilians reissues.

Wes

I believe that I was Michael Hannah possibly in a past life ive had plenty of dreams to indicate him and would like to know more about him and any photos would be great ,and this is why I have a phobia of planes ,vertigo, and very introvert and shy because of what happened in my past life .I was told in my dreams I was a model in a past life who died in a plane crash and the country turkey is also relevant and the date of the crash is close to my d.o.b. Did Michael have any links to Bournemouth because I found my self moving there for a few years like my soul wanted to be there .The 981 plane looks very familiar and stirs up a lot of fear in my soul God bless to all the victims it was a terrible disaster

michael

i was michael hannah in a past life maybe i will have a child one day and call her twinkle God bless im just a bit upset how God uses tradegy to humble us also so we search for the true God head through Jesus Christ because now i cant even look at the sky without feeling great fear

song from a georgian prison camp at the end of world war i

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mQoBkFm4u0

kind of reminds me of genoese longshoremen's songs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zin1bi51w9c

Jim Lawless - Lazing

wistful and slightly eerie instrumental from a compilation on British library music label Bruton Music. they had the most amazing record sleeves:

https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=bruton+music&biw=1600&bih=799&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=0ahUKEwil1dqJj-XNAhVBD8AKHdPBDYsQ_AUIBygC&dpr=1

can't get this song out of my head. haunting, heartbreaking burned out folk.. the way he sings 'memories' reminds me of cobain in "come as you are".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzKDK2mMb-w

sorry, i should probably label that: Robert Lester Folsom - "Please Don't Forget Me"

1982 version of "Alasdair Mac Colla" by Aneka (of "Japanese Boy" fame) complete with guitar soloing and Glitter Band/Adam & The Ants style drums
