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.

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

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

  3. 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.
