commentsEven though the world has gone completely bonkers, this sounds perfectly out of place and refreshingly unhinged. Heavily influenced by Krautrock, “Bitches Brew” Mile Davis and spooky soundtrack music for non-existent horror movies, it’s a bit disconcerting to say the least.
commentsThe themes were: Memory , Implicitly humorous ( oh…go on then…explicitly counts too!) , Grandeur
commentsYet another ace ACE Records compilation lovingly curated by Bob Stanley. I continue to hoover these up like nose candy. This is happy clappy, hippy dippy, hip hop.
commentsAnother fabulous example of late 70s New York No Wave that’s further perpetrated by French invader Lizzy Mercier Descloux. Take some of Serge Gainsbourg’s Afrobeat, combine with Blondie’s disco-inflected punk and Talking Heads’ world music-inspired art pop and you get the drift.
