I bought this album today!
I remember how, as a child,
- I was scared by “Timewind” album cover. Brrr
- I was fascinated by this synth music
RIP mate.

Mishra with Rolling English Road…
Saw them at a bluegrass festival. . .
It’s ANOTHER poem driven song, see Dover Beach passim.
Nicking lyrics from English poets is dead in !

I heard Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah playing in the new series of Bosch.
Apparently, 5 Grammy nominations which made me curious as to what categories, who else was nominated and who got the awards seeing someone as talented as Christian did not. He has been nominated three times in Contemporary Instrumental Album. Some pretty sketchy wins in my opinion but some gold in the list of Nominees that you may not have come across.
Cassette tape, though ?
He’s doing it wrong. No pencils or tape eating cheap players involved. No back to back tape dubbing or recording MTV off the TV. Or leaving tapes in the car during the summer heat to get those genuine tape stretch effects :>
There are two Supertramp songs that always sound wrong to me because they don’t have that momentary pitch shift that I learned to love when I listened off cassette on my coach journeys in the nineteen eighties.
This one…?

I like this variation on the SW theme. At 0:30 he actually overlays his DAW. Nerd out on multiple levels :>

I was on posting something about Vangelis last fly when I saw your message.
Well, it’s not the kind of electronic music I like the most, but yeah, he was a great composer. I was so pleased when I knew he has dedicated a full album to the “Rosetta mission”, one of the most exciting (and romantic imho) space adventure from the past years.
More about Rosetta space mission (for kids and in french, but should be available in orher languages) :

This is not Martin Rev and Alan Vega, but it’s the same kind of dirty “electronic vibes”

OMD playing a Mellotron live in 1981
I saw them live a couple of weeks ago with my son, and they’ve still got the magic. Absolutely fantastic show!

I was saddened by this news. One of the first real pieces I learned to play on piano was the theme to Chariots of Fire, when I was 10 years old.
I saw them as, support for Gary Numan at Sheffield City Hall in 1980 ish. I was doing stage security. Probably one of the easiest ten pounds I ever earned.

I love School! (The song, not actual school.) We covered this in my first band when I was 21, and the others were in high school, and we played it for the battle of the bands at the school of the singer. Me on bass, my brother-in-law on guitar, the singer played the intro on clarinet, and we had an absolute phenom on keys. I think the music instructor who ran the battle was pretty impressed that we could pull it off 
This is the song that forced me to learn finger pick style on bass.

I might have to see Gary Numan when he comes here in September, as well.
