Monday's Long Songs


This is a new edit from Dan Wainwright, a psychedelic Indian epic, Shanti Shanti Shanti. There's something about Indian sounds that lends themselves to trippy, long form music- the drones, the scales, the percussion and the strings- that goes back to the 60s and then the late 80s and early 90s.



Four Tet's music, especially his 2015 Morning/ Evening album is a delight, comes from a similar place, the Morning side especially, a piece of music I never tire of hearing. The looped vocal, a Lata Mangeshkar sample, played over Four Tet's intricate dance rhythms and raga mode, are a total joy. I've posted this fairly recently but it's too good not to share again.

Two good 'uns this morning SA - the Four Tet tune is particularly cool.

That Dan Wainwright is really good and Morning side is I think my favourite piece by Four Tet

Two very nice choices.

To anyone who doesn't like Mondays, they should be prescribed Bagging Area and their condition will be miraculously cured. What a great way to start the week, SA. The Dan Wainwright edit is great and Four Tet never fails to deliver, in my opinion. Just listened to Morning/Evening again after a long day at work and suddenly the world's a better place once more.
