I've heard it for a few seconds since 1974.  John Peel devoted 40 minutes of a two hour show playing it (at opposite ends of the show) and I skipped it for feeling that Terry Riley is much better at it.  In April or so we can celebrate it 50 years since it went to the cut-out bins.

Right now it's a Jon Anderson solo show from sometime in the 00's.  It's interesting hearing him attempting to play guitar but having zero idea what the chords actually are for Yes songs.

And in other news, 50 years ago some band that you've yet to hear released the greatest album in the history of the human eardrum but nobody knows what it is yet.



Icehouse - Electric Blue

I'm working from home today, and I'm really sleepy. Threw this on. It's alright so far... does anyone have any recs that I can use as background music to keep me engaged but not distracted while I work, preferably instrumental?

One of my favorite things to put on for data entry and other computer work that's in the same vein musically is this Autechre compilation.



"stressed" is just "desserts" spelled backwards

Right now it's Van Der Graaf Generator, some live DVD that they made later into an album.  Don't remember the title. 

I am not listening to King Crimson.  King Crimson are for when Van Der Graaf Generator is too gloomy and you need gloom light.

You remember the sound Ira's hair made when it exploded?  I think I have that captured for the album.

I just remember mullets and great sax solos.  :laughing:
