The Next Best/Closest Thing to Silence... from 1971 to 2024

Skip to Tracks
ECM Records used the catchphrase, "The Next Best Sound to Silence", to promote its music. On this show we will hear some early ECM releases, including the Jan Garbarek Quartet and Azimuth. We will end with some 2024 releases, including two tracks from "The Closest Thing to Silence", from Ariel Kalma, Jeremiah Chiu and Marta Sofia Honer.

I am less familiar with this Azimuth, and more familiar with Brazilian Azymuth / Azimüth Good stuff!

Thanks Heavy Ben - although the rest of that album is quite different. Drake even sampled the track Tunnel on a release last year!

Good to hear this new recording. I kept up with Ill Considered for years, bought ~5 of their records, but they are so prolific...

And I imagine quite something to see live! Hard to believe that most of their recordings are improvised - a very cohesive group.

Thanks for playing tracks from "The Closest Thing To Silence". This record has been on heavy rotation at home the past few months. International Anthem hosted an album release listening party on Bandcamp a few months ago and it was a treat to hear the "world debut". I played it on Chance Meeting and my DJ gig. So much great material from Ariel Kalma. For those listeners into the ambient, electronic, new age side of things - check out the three "archive" 4-LP sets o Italy's Black Sweat records. Great sounds from the 1960s-80s.
