Soundtrack to my life

Find a relaxed place to listen to this in the dark with a good immersive sound system, or your best headphones. Let the album take you wherever your imagination will take you. Get lost in its space and come out the other side somewhere new!

Lastly Mezzanine with Elizabeth Fraser again

One of a kind shouter from Manchester. Might have lost most of his teeth to alcoholism by this point!

The man from Fife! - managing to mix bagpipes, electronics and poignant lyrics into a beautiful mix.

This is beautiful mediation music. I can’t remember how I came across it but I am so glad I did! Often played in the morning at home

The scream in this song is scary as hell. Along with Proidgy’s Firestarter, it’s another one I used to chase the kids around the house too for amusement!

The first album I ever bought at age 13 or 14 was Pink Floyd’s Relics. But this is from the Meddle album. It takes up the whole of the B side

For now, I am including three trip hop classics from Massive attack to start with. Will be adding more!
First up Angel

Second up - Teardrop with Elizabeth Fraser

Somewhat later and more experimental

The one and only Bjork from her debut album

Early video of the Cocteau’s

Hugely influential Scottish indie band, famous for unfathomable lyrics ! This is an ealy track

An almighty dance hit !

Alexa took me to see these guys at Somerset House and I saw them again at the Newport jazz festival with Pam in 2019. Will be seeing them again in Paris in 2024

This is current day Eno, back to using his voice, along with his daughter. Wonderful

King Creosote (Kenny Anderson) is from one of the fishing villages of Fife where my father came from. Hard to listen to now that he has passed. This is the second track which follows the intro. Listen to both in that order

King Creosote (Kenny Anderson) is from one of the fishing villages of Fife where my father came from. Hard to listen to sometimes now that he has passed. This is the first/intro track which segues with the second. Listen to both in that order.

Brilliant album with Eno behind the controls

Probably the only full album I will post as its sort of a concept jazz album

What a crazy band and song. He died too early. I used to chase the kids around the house playing this at high volume :)

80’s electronic guys - big in Hackney
