Jansky Noise - Past Present & Future Star Music

Definitely one of the best Portishead tracks ever! The combination of 808 delivered raw with simple vocal. The addition here combined with Tetsueo - Iron Man visual works, although I expect this is not the official film for the track, nevertheless the combination is worthy.

So dense, so creamy, so full, so rich, so much more than your average, really really, no end to this. You just have to believe it. All and more under your nose, smell the cream and lap it up, baby!x

Yeh, this is real special, you should probably play this one from time to time. I love it, a gesture and a mashed gift with a message for someone young but really for all of us! Dont let them kill your imagination. Dance just like a tornado, spin the world right out, till you filled your cup! Cherish every single day..

Amazing how music sometimes just gets lost. This is the best example of a relatively recent cover version which saw no light of day. Nothing, just came out and got lost in the endless wave of new musics. This is a shame for Mechanical Bride as I am sure that millions would indeed enjoy this cover version. Well, while it rains in Madrid myself and Rebecca have enjoyed this track today. ARRGh. X

Dont get too many lyrics of this nature in the charts!!!

Green Porno indeed! I put a link to Isabella Rossellini's hilarious interpretation of sex from the natural world, a long time ago on this blog, but that link got pulled, so here she is again exploring the mating habits of snails. Top job!

It's amazing what you can do with a loop, here this vocal took on a new dimension. Bringing a poor soul with faith, Tom Waits and a certain Gavin Bryars together. Once you have heard this song it should never leave you. Nice to see that at least some of you are lending an ear as this video currently has more than 47,000 views.

It's time for the Magician. An empty sky, a violent sea. When I was a lad in Manchester the 12'' version could be located within my Fathers record collection. This song without doubt is one of my all time desert island disks, an inspiration, in my tender years and even now. Real treasure..

Plenty of Gypsy Music this way in Spain, however Parno Graszt or the White Horse in Romani language play with purity and freedom. Authentic Hungarian Gypsy music, a wonderful source. I love their instruments and the spirit, so humbled and real. This particular song is cheerful, vigorous and beaming with vocal splendour. Certainly caught my ear. Try it, then try deny it. You wont be disappointed.

The prolific James Leyland Kirby has several videos up online via Youtube. Most of which I see and hear with some frequency. This track in particular was one which caught my ear. Seems that this has not only caught my ear but it has also caught many others. Take a listen and walk it's gentle path. Have a good weekend, I know I will try.

There I was thinking my dancing times are over, having just spent the best part of 6 weeks on crutches after a recent knee operation, only to discover this wonderful visual crutch dance.
