Julian Cope presents Head Heritage

Oh wow, I just stepped inside my boat after getting bashed into by a car skidding in the rain, and Kikagaku Moyo have already made me forget all about it. Taj Mahal Travellers for the '00s! Exactly what I needed to hear at this exact moment. Thankyoumuchly! And to mongonaut, too.

I seem to recall you've listened to some pretty zen stuff on Soundtracks. This might be a bit of a risk, and it is technically just a song (a 30 minute one), but I find it never fails to transport me with its primitive mid-'70s electronics, narration that gets progressively more out there, and a really naive sense of awe throughout: Blue Gene Tyranny - Out of the Blue. Hope it whisks you away the way it does me. I think it's safe to say that it sounds like absolutely nothing else... Probably the most human piece to ever come from the mind of a Modern Classicist. It's pretty mental that he was a one-time member of The Stooges, especially after you hear that song.


Metal is my blind-spot. Someone hit me with your best shot. My ears are open.
