I've been collecting records for as long as I can remember, and sometimes it's easy to skip over things, and forget what you've got. I'm going to start listening to things in alphabetical order, it give me a chance to look through my collection again, and give me an opportunity to share things with other music lovers, and vinyl collectors.
The rules are simple, I will start at A, and choose an artist from my collection beginning with that letter, next day I move on to B, then C, etc.
The story so far...
- A is for... Adam and the Ants - Kings of the Wild Frontier
- B is for... The Beatles - Abbey Road
- C is for... The Chemical Brothers - Exit Planet Dust
- D is for... Nick Drake - Bryter Layter
- E is for... Brian Eno - Ambient 1: Music for Airports
- F is for... Mark Fry - Dreaming With Alice
- G is for... Gong - Flying Teapot
- H is for... Richie Havens - Alarm Clock
- I is for... Incredible String Band - Wee Tam
- J is for... Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene
- K is for... The KLF - The White Room
- L is for... The Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin II
- M is for... John Martyn - Solid Air
- N is for... The Nice - Autumn '67 And Spring '68
O is for...
Oneohtrix Point Never - Russian Mind
So lets take a break from some of the classic rock and psychedelia and go electronic for todays choice, and the wonderful sounds or Daniel Lopotkin, who releases music as Oneohtrix Point Never.
I've chosen his third album, Russian Mind, which has some wonderful electronic soundscapes and textures to enjoy. My copy is a reissue that I bought about 10 years ago, and sounds wonderful...
