sclaves

I can’t get this melody out of my head for the past few days and i’m hoping it stays there for quite a bit more.

milton nascimento – os escravos de jo

touch me

The pendulum swings back. And stays suspended mid-flight, a menace waiting for release.

malcolm mclaren – call a wave

space – carry on, turn me on

brian eno + david byrne – regiment

arto lindsay – complicity

voodoo

I don’t have a goddamned clue on what or who this is. All i know is it makes the hair on my neck dance like it’s voodoo. Which is fine, fine by me.

danielle patucci – la dimo strzione

rain #2

I think i need new shoes. Walking the old pavements of this dirty old city is not what my Tigers were made for.

port-royal – Balding Generation

Steve Jansen – Playground Martyrs (reprise) [credits to Thalia+Aggelos for blogging about it a few weeks back]

Kenny Larkin – Computer Rain

Pumajaw – Sorcery

j-funk

Now that’s what i call a bullet through the head. Japan may be a lot of things, but the origin of sexy space-funk it is not. Or at least, so i thought. But here’s Tatsuro Yamashita to convince me otherwise. His 1977 release ‘Spacy‘ is chock-full of wah-wah and Rhodes and strings sweet enough to make you swoon.  Keyboards and vibraphone, played by none other than Ryuichi Sakamoto. Big ups to http://simplygoodmusic.blogspot.com/ for bringing this gem to my attention.
