i remember playing my dad 'a love supreme' and he said that any idea that it's at all spiritual was just suggestion from the title and coltrane's schtick. he said it just sounds like busy new york.

Sounds like a crowleyhead opinion

this is my take on miles davis on the corner as well (and the in concert album from 73). it's a 45 year old bloke who doesn't understand this hip young funk music in the slightest. on the corner is completely unfunky. it's all awkward and off.

he even was outraged it didn't sell as well as headhunters which does suggest it was a genuine attempt to be funky that just missed the spot completely.

It's so weird. I spent a whole night in here listening to it on repeat and trying to understand it

I’m only joking luka that was very disrespectful. I love it when someone is rooted and knows the history and has felt it change, I wish I met more and when I do I ask questions and listen. Especially because I’m not a historian and have a very poor sense of direction, poor spatial awareness. I’m not connected to the real world.

Ollie Murs looking people in gym gear walking round like they own the place. It really gets under my skin.

Yes I don’t trust people who think they can do big city life. The ones that think they’re working it and making it happen. No, accept defeat. Accept being dwarfed and wrung out by colossal harsh alienating forces like the rest of us. A dignified alcoholism.

You lot have to read Plume by Will Wiles, goes deep into this. This specifically. I'll say no more, but it could be the most dissensus novel ever. Wouldn't be surprised if he lurks on here.

I liked that description from the Aphex thread of some of his stuff being like an 'aural William Blake',

the head fucking drone of digeridoo, the wide-eyed utopia of selected ambient works I, the vast inner planes of selected ambient works II. a soundtrack to a life of intense love, thought, exploration, escapism, the glimpse of possibilities that in hindsight were a mirage. an aural william blake or rimbaud inflicted on impressionable young minds, utter madness!

today this music means nothing but at the time it blew our heads wide open.
