Couldn't sleep last night and caught a great docu on sky arts called 'Sisters with Transistors'. Thought I'd seen it before, but turns out it was all new to me. If you're into the strange origins of electronics in music/art there is much to enjoy here, very well put together. Covers the usual suspects, but many more I wasn't aware of as well. In fact, I watched it through twice and ordered the DVD straight after. Pity there isn't an OST CD, would be a cracker. Think it's still up for streaming if you have access. https://sisterswithtransistors.com/ https://www.sky.com/watch/title/programme/de349368-37a8-4e00-820b-efac9e043b8b
compiled soundtrack of sorts https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4qKBntz3F8wtS3APm9fRcC
Tunes include...
Ozric Tentacles - Trees of Eternity
90's to 2000 output compiled. Some good stuff and some meh, but always got a soft spot for Ozrics style of psychprogdubtrance mash ups.
Stereolab - Switched on Vol:5
One of the better mop up comps from Stereolab. Later output, but not a duffer on here.
Trees Speak - Mind Maze
OK, but prefer the first couple of albums. It's all getting a bit samey now.
Tolouse Low Trax - Leave Me Alone
One time Kreidler member makes funky, rhythmic ethno trance outs. Not heard anything by TLT that I don't enjoy tbh. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lHIyUvOmslvW_k2bJwXsDqwKhO87Tc4iI
Timeshard - The Planet Dog Years
Still loving this trip down memory lane. They really did make some excellent tunes.
The Kinks - The Journey Part 1
Decent comp of standout moments. Did ole Ray invent hauntology with his endless mythologising of the past, or just contribute to future Brexiteers ideas of yesteryear being the land of milk and honey, who knows?, still, they can carry a tune!.
Hawkwind & VA - Friends And Relations-The Rarities
Various
Electronic Sound Covers Collection Volume.01/02
Deviation Street; High Times in Ladbroke Grove 1967-1975 3CD
All yer fav squat tunes in one tidy package.
Keep well.x
