Rolling 'One Track Per Week' Thread 2014

Fantastikoi Hxoi - 'Etos 2525'

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

modern krautrock/spacerock composed of samples from old Greek psych LPs. I found this album on some random blog in ≈2010 but I haven't properly listened to it until now.

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.

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.

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.

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

can we start doing this again?

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

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

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
