imo it's astute to compare this stuff to radio plays. even "insiders" seem to make that connection, e.g. here.white noise bit. so i must, must, must try not to hear it as radio play wind! try and be cleverer than that!

i don't know how many more of these you're planning on doing, but i'm curious if you have any thoughts overall. (i haven't listened much to anything in this playlist yet tbh.) do you think it unlocks anything that "proper" music usually doesn't or can't? any overarching strengths or weaknesses?
I think he's heard more of this stuff than me and you now

You should get a load of laboratory grade LSD for this thread
luke's always telling me these stories of drugs opening things up for him. all these occasions he didn't get something and then he took a drug and he suddenly did.
He said this about the Basic Channel stuff, iirc.

poetry, paintings, dub, basic channel, uk drill, underground resistance. he says it about everything.
drugs are to luke what sex is to simon reynolds. the unescapable paradigm through which all of life is perceived.
Yeah basic channel too. Loads of stuff really. When I say drugs I mean either acid or DMT. Nothing else. Anything else I probably just want the hits thanks very much.
the title already made me laugh and then it opened up with that organ. i'm getting so much netherlands i'm going to explode. "thish guysh fuckin crashy guysh" (not yyaldrin).
the organ actually reminds me of miles davis get up with it.
you know what actually, i know i'm not supposed to keep comparing it to theatrics and films and tv shows and so forth, i did suddenly realise that there are strands of avant guard music that only really get picked up by film and tv. so lots of austere atonal classical music became staple horror film stuff.
this one for example this sounds like a trippy bit in mr ben or magic roundabout or something, because only when accompanied by the moving image and narrative and dialogue and so forth does this music become even remotely tennable for the public at large.
this heat organ. the opening of 24 track loop. loads of their tracks actually.
so rubbish barty is hearing this scurrying organ part (2.55 ish maybe) as cartoon mice running around, but if i focus on the bit where it's scratching and and distorting i'm suddenly getting this feeling of it being so immediate as to be sylopsisic. it's not happening outside of me, but rather behind my face. in my head. i told the story on here before of thinking some lsd hadn't worked and then rereading an email i'd sent while on it and realising i was off my head. that email was talking about a similar phenomenon. i was talking about her face being my face or in it or soemthing. the scratchy bits remind of that.
finished at 3.50
This stuff does actually sound like a lot of films I like.
