Electronic Meditation
Thursday September 25th, 2014 with Sean McFee
Appropriated German Heritage and Lesser Crimes
This week begins with songs with words. |
Do You Realize? Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots - Warner |
Born With a Sound The New Pornographers - Brill Bruisers - Last Gang |
One of These Things First Nick Drake - Bryter Layter - Island |
Some instrumental music. The first track is dedicated to Mark Keill, without whom I would never have heard it :). The Froese track comes from the 4CD set "Solo (1974-1983): The Virgin Years", which is indispensable for the fan of Tangerine Dream and related works. |
The Host of Seraphim Dead Can Dance - The Serpent's Egg - 4AD |
Epsilon in Malaysian Pale Edgar Froese - Epsilon in Malaysian Pale - Virgin |
Although Berlin-school electronic music originated and was popularized in Germany, it has been adopted by artists around the world in the decades since, including some in England. I'm going to play three such artists, one from each of the 90s, 00s, and this decade. |
Bombers in the Desert Redshift - II: Ether - Champagne Lake |
The Emissaries Reveal Themselves Radio Massacre International - Emissaries - Cuneiform |
Thin Air Node - Node 2 - DiN |
Hour two starts with a track from Nouvelle Frontière, a group featuring Richard and Marie-Claire Séguin (later of Séguin) and Normand Théroux, later of progressive group Le Match. This is followed by two tracks from Mahogany Frog. |
Pacification La nouvelle frontère - La nouvelle frontière - Gamma |
UXB41 Mahogany Frog - On Blue - Mafrogany Hog |
Springtime for Canadian Youths Mahogany Frog - On Blue - Mafrogany Hog |
And now for a couple of old psychedelic monsters... Swedish group Älgarnas Trädgård and French singer Catherine Ribeiro. |
Two hours over two blue mountains with a cuckoo on each side, of the hours... that is Älgarnas Trädgård - Framtiden är ett svävande skepp, förankrat i forntiden - Silence |
Paix Catherine Ribeiro & Alpes - Paix - Si-Wan |
We close off with some vintage Zappa |
Son of Mr. Green Genes Frank Zappa - Hot Rats - Rykodisc |
I myself am a Tangerine Dream fan myself
