Nathan's Session - Mar 2025
The first of (hopefully) many more sessions at Nathan’s started with a party - we heard everything from Nana Mouskouri through to Einstürzende Neubauten.
commentsFor some reason I had previously assumed M83 was some lo-fi, punky angst band from France and had always thought their acclaimed album “Dead Cities, Red Seas…” was some sort of Green Day/angry band revamp. How wrong could I have been. (OK, I got one thing right however, they are French!)
This album, another one from my batch of recently acquired $2 rejects, is a lush, cinematic soundtrack, complete with sound bites and dialogue, from a film that doesn’t exist.
An album destined to remain unfamiliar, not because it is inaccessible, but because of its scale, scope and daring. Chromatics and Bark Psychosis immediately spring to mind.

commentsWe explored Japanese music (or at least music vaguely inspired by or related to Japan), with a brief diversion to celtic music, and admired Martin’s lutherie skills.
