Not so much a song today, more a thirteen minute groove with staccato organ chords, crunchy guitars and trumpets, lightness rather than shade. Stereolab could do this kind of thing in sleep I think but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable. From their 1996 Flourescences ep (and the 3 cd box set Oscillons From The Anti-Sun from 2005 which is a treasure trove of ep tracks, a dvd of videos and TV appearances and some stickers).
Soop Groove #1
It's half term here this week and the weather looks good with some late October sunshine promised today. Some of the leaves are still clinging on to the trees. The rest are scattered all over the ground in a random autumnal colour chart. Quite often up here the seasons tend to blur and become a smudge but sometimes there's a week or two where we get a proper autumn, before the clocks go back and everything becomes unpleasantly grey and dark wintry.
There's a particularly fine and eclectic range of 'Long Songs' across the blogs today - this one is no exception. Thirteen minutes? I'd be more than happy if it was double that length. A terrific beast of a groove.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see the same title across the different blogs and the variety contained within them.
ReplyDeleteI love that Box Set, every time I open it I am tempted to use the stickers
ReplyDeleteStickers still unstuck. My Clash box set stickers still unstuck too. Never thought of anywhere good enough to stick them.
ReplyDeleteStill got mine's from the David Holmes boxset. Probably won't be sticky anymore anyway
