What are you listening to at the moment?

So good, I thought it was Japanese from the 70s the first time I heard it.

[photekq]

Another great one!

[Muirium]

Thanks. The kinetic beginning and end remind me of Lloyd McNeill in one of my flute favourites.

This one's the real 1970 deal. The percussion is a tour de force.

[photekq]

What would you call that sort of music? I've never really heard it outside films of that era. I think it's brilliant though, and I'd love to hear more like it.

I'm listening to this at the minute. Always been one of my favourites. I couldn't believe it wasn't on youtube, so I uploaded it just now.

I'm just gonna name Randall Wulff first, so now I'm more a music hipster than any one of you!

Thanks to Mr_A500, I'm now having flashbacks of the Lord of the Rings. Not the version that appeared on screen, but the one from my fever dream while watching it…

My guess is spiritual jazz. Bit of a loaded genre though. The very best was Alice Coltrane (who I like just as much as her husband) but there was a lot of trippy stuff that went right through the weird barrier between genius and, uh, not so genius. Sun Ra comes to mind. He's fantastic, and he's terrible, and for some reason reminds me of Frank Zappa (or even better Captain Beefheart) although I've no sensible reason why…

I wish genres told you more about how music actually sounds.

regarding “Exclusive Coupé” of Myrone, posted by sth: It surprised me that this tune wasn’t released some decades ago, but 2014 ... And what an expressive homage to synthwave it is!

i don't mean to spam but dang.

Great song, great album! I think my favourite song from the album is the title track though :

I'm listening to some electronic music and came to this sound - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27426408/teste.mp3 - that I believe I've heard before in a movie. Maybe from the 40s? Do you remember this tune?

[Daniel Beardsmore]

Grr … I know that too … I don't know what it is, but I definitely know it.

Sounds very close.
Really would like to remember which was the movie: reminds me of "citizen kane" or "39 steps" or ???
The extract is from the beginning of this track:

[photekq]

That one reminds me Burial. It's got the same depressed atmosphere, and the same style of drums. Really nice.

Yep that's the original song "Die Moritat von Mackie Messer". Love the play
But for this song I prefer the Bobby Darin version:

I'm a sucker for the old times, Rat Pack, Bobby Darin ...

Also Robbie Williams is not bad

Now

Love Santana and the Caravanserai album
