Erik Wøllo / Michael Stearns: Convergence

Erik Wøllo / Michael Stearns Convergence Projek Records I found this record recently in a beautiful fluke – well, a routine search for ambient/space records I guess. What a find. I knew Michael Stearns’ fine work – particularly his score for Baraka (and its ‘sister’ films). He made ambient electronic music in the late 1970s […]

Luke Schneider: Altar of Harmony

Luke Schneider Altar of Harmony Third Man Records Ambient music was essentially invented by Brian Eno – he consciously created his version of it at least; slapped the label on it. And though he’s moved in and out and through it, and seems always to return to it, he has done a great many other […]

Fripp & Eno: Live In Paris 28.05.1975

Fripp & Eno Live In Paris 28.05.1975 DGM/Panegyric The Fripp & Eno duo only released a small handful of studio albums – two in the early/mid 1970s and then several years later they reconnected, but it’s those two studio albums from the seventies that dazzled, and that formed the setlist when the duo performed a […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1036

Andy Summers/Robert Fripp, Bewitched (1984) I hadn’t thought about his album in a long time – much less listened to it. But it all came back in those first notes this morning and the delay and effects around those first notes. And then on from there. This was the first “guitar” album that I heard […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1342

Brand X, Moroccan Roll (1977) I bought a Brand X compilation CD – just so I could hear the Phil Collins drum parts; I’ve collected up a lot of his “outside” playing; that is to say the stuff outside of his solo career and work with Genesis. (I have plenty of that stuff too). I’ve […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1552

Phil Collins, No Jacket Required (1985) The rules are pretty simple. You are allowed to like Phil Collins for his early work with Genesis (especially when he was a drummer). You are in fact allowed to like him as a drummer. This means you can even go back to Brand X and you can certainly […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1567

Robert Fripp, Network (1985) A network is important for a guitarist like Robert Fripp. I’ve been enjoying this mini-album/EP. It showcases some of his musical friends (Daryl Hall, David Byrne, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Brian Eno) but it also, naturally, showcases Fripp. You might hear him play wilder stuff elsewhere – but there’s a logical […]
