Spring 25

18. The Congos - Row Fisherman

Talking of fishing, and my lack of dub knowledge, I can't help but like this. I know it's Lee Perry.

from congo

22. Michael Been - World on Fire

I never worked out who exactly Michael Been is, but he did the soundtrack to Light Sleeper. One of my favourite films with a nocturnal vibe to it.

Alan hawkshaw did countdown too

I knew a guy who was on that, in it's glory days, when the "flamboyant" Richard Whiteley was compering and tory bitch* Carol V did something or other, but anyway, he was eliminated first round...

a shame, he has a couple of paragraphs about me in his unpublished memoir of his "career" in industrial music

and he still owes me six quid for a teenth of sputnik, i don't forget

* edit: not a term I use lightly, but in this case it applies...

23. Alan Parker - Blue Shadow

I sometimes get confused between Alan Hawkshaw and Parker but this track is nice. Not sure what the woodwind instrument is but it's a great bit of library music.

25. Roger Sanchez - Another Chance

Not many tracks take me back to be dropped off at the bus stop for school in my dads V6 Renault Laguna than this. Toto sample... and a good anthem to end on! Hope you all enjoyed the list and some of my blundering!

Some more things that happened, tracks that didn't make the list...

No worries! I don't claim the same music knowledge as most on here, it's just the bedroom DJ in me that likes to curate music.

i was scrambling around to find my usb cd ripper so i could rip and upload my "creation rebel" cd mix, but fortunately my living room is a shambles and i'm totally out of it and as a consequence i've spared you all an hour of psychedelic dub

i think your introduction to the forum was you making a really bland top 100 of driving house baeleic anthems and i thought this geezer abosolutely fucking insane, and i was right

14. Raymond Scott - Twilight in Turkey

This just fits in with some of the other early electronic stuff on the list, and the 'oriental' for want of a much better word, melody.

I knew I recognised this melody!

pretty sure Madness did a "egyptian dance' to this melody, think right angled arm postures, one behind the other in a line video *


Mad Professor - Night In Cairo ( 1983 )

almost vindicated because i'm sure I've posted Raymond Scott in another thread as the progenitor of techno

* edit: not going to knock Madness, they did some sort of "roots of madness' documentary film within the last few years and it was like my former school mates were talking to me, all sorts of mischief

[luka]

Yeah that was bad. My excuse was I did that list for elsewhere but my other ones haven't got much better.
