jesus, louis, perhaps you should start living more in the now?

Actually, my entire musical outlook is essentially modernist; I won't judge music based upon its grounding or its age, and in fact I generally value modern music above older because a) there's so much more that can be done in studios now and b) with knowledge of prior music future musicians will know where the bar stands, and how high they have to leap in order to exceed it. There's a reason I've got no 60's or 70's and very little 80's in that there list; musical ideals have simply improved since then, with more at stake and more achieved.

As for the reason it's not all up-to-date and flashy-shiny, well, there are two reasons. Firstly, my initiation into modern music happened in the 90's, and I'm bound to retain a lot from then, and secondly, I've favoured buying music from the recent past over that of the present, because a) it's easier in retrospect to judge what's classic than in the heat of the moment, b) I can always buy stuff that comes out now, but you gotta grab the older shit before it disappears a) out of my consciousness and b) off the shelves, and c) (this c) refers to the original a)-b) sequence) I reckon we're going through a bit of a lull at the moment, a lull which has coincided with the lack of any release by Radiohead or Blur. Just joking, kids. But seriously, 2006 was a pretty shit year!

Plus, the songs up there are just bona fide classics regardless of generation. What a silly point to make, meltingglaciers!

OK! Hopefully it's going on Amazon for less than 20 quid. Isn't Flow meant to be pretty good too?

to scour or to pop? (Haberdager), Friday, 2 February 2007 02:36 (seventeen years ago) link

I generally like his older stuff (Nail and Hole in particular) and the Steroid Maximus stuff, but Flow was a nice return to form (I like it better than Love, actually).

John Justen waitin to get his W2s back so he can file his tax and ball out (john, Friday, 2 February 2007 02:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Argh, I'm a student, I can't really spend £33.93 on a single CD, alas. :-(

Is there anywhere else I could find it more cheaply? I may purchase Flow in the meantime to sate the urge.

to scour or to pop? (Haberdager), Friday, 2 February 2007 02:42 (seventeen years ago) link

When I grab large quantities of Einsturzende Neubauten and KMFDM (as I aim to do pretty soon) I'll have the whole noize board queueing up to forgive me... ;-)

to scour or to pop? (Haberdager), Friday, 2 February 2007 02:45 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't think KMFDM will have much sway, dude.

John Justen waitin to get his W2s back so he can file his tax and ball out (john, Friday, 2 February 2007 17:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Flow is utterly brilliant. It's wholly unconcerned with being pigeonholed, trendy, or in the shadow of any looming forefather; it's genuinely original-sounding, exciting, ambitious material, a (near-) complete vision actually worth our spectatorship. I'm this close to calling JGT one of the bona fide geniuses of modern music. HOLY HELL I need more stuff like this...

David Katz, do you mean Debussy's string quartet? Gosh, that's tough. The Emerson SQ recording is very beautifully performed and recorded, so that's one you should definitely seek. The Alban Berg SQ performance is also def. worth listening to because it gives it another angle -- it leans more toward the virtuosic but it's a very bold and forceful performance. Other options you can't really go wrong with: Quartetto Italianno SQ, the Orlando SQ, the Keller Quartet.

03. "Fantastic Vampere" - Sa-Ra Creative Partners (78)
04. "Juanita : Kiteless : To Dream of Love" - Underworld (76)
05. "After All" - Al Jarreau (54)
06. "Goin' Up In Smoke" - Eddie Kendricks (54)
07. "What Do You Want? [Deep Burning Dub]" - Fallout Shelter Presents Dihann Moore (51)
08. "My Comet" - Onra (40)
09. "20 regards sur l'enfant Jesus: I. Regard du Père" - Håkon Austbø (36)
10. "Solitary Flight" - Theo Parrish (35)
11. "Big Fun" - Kool & the Gang (34)
12. "Isis" - Kerri Chandler (33)
12. "Light is Calling" - Michael Gordon (33)
14. "My People ... Hold On" - Eddie Kendricks (31)
15. "If [Adult 7" Radio]" - Janet Jackson (30)
16. "Chicago" - Roy Ayers (29)

A couple of these songs -- "Isis" and "Summer Soft" for sure -- would be a lot higher if I hadn't uploaded newer versions with better bitrates since their first uploads.

I love Ondine and Gibet so much, it's sort of a shame the third movement doesn't quite do it for me.

my top 25 is so repetitive and homogenous that i don't wanna type up the whole thing, because i don't listen to a lot of stuff over and over and what i do is usually a certain kind of high energy pop/rock. so my top 25 is 5 Ted Leo songs, 5 Say Anything songs, 5 Steely Dan songs, 2 Sloan songs, 2 Spymob songs, and 1 each by Ruth Ruth, Fall Out Boy, Paramore, Karmella's Game, Peter Gabriel and Massive Attack (last two mainly being on account of my wife playing them a lot).
