 Topic: PHEW......it's HOT!.....
Posted: July 17 2006 at 13:12 |
.......the sun is beating down, it hasn't rained for weeks, you've had a hard day at the office, a rotten journey home from work, stuck in a traffic jam or in a stuffy train carriage...you need to chill out, time to flop down, pour out a cold lager or rum'n'coke with loads of ice, switch the fan and the stereo on, settle down and listen to.......what??? Something slow and bluesey, some cool jazz? Some lush classical, or some cool prog??? Here's a few recommendations, love to hear some more!
Anything by Free, especially "Free 2" , "Metanoia" by Porcupine Tree, a Yes epic, ???? doesn't have to be prog...!

Moon Safari - A Doorway to Summer.
A great album to chill out and relax to.

For some reason Mr. Bungle's "California" is a good cool off album, at least for me. 10,000 Days also does it, but I'm not sure you'd like either of those....hmmm....oh right In Absentia's good for that

ANYTHING in my collection beats the junk on the radio at the office or over the PA at the store...but stuff like Traffic or Pink Floyd would do the trick.

Nouvelle Vague. A French band that re-interprets classical eighties'
hits in a bossanova / lounge style. Amazing - I love their rendition of
A Forest, and I laugh every time I hear this girl with her seductive
French accent sing Too drunk to f**k...

British people amaze me. It's hardly ever hot there and when it is people start to complain about it!

Yes' "South Side of the Sky" because it sounds so damned COLD!
Also anything with rain in it like the Who's "Love reign o'er Me" or the Doors "Riders on the storm."

That'd be the avant-garde singer Camille! That's the only Nouvelle Vague song I've heard, but it is quite cool. Anyhow... for me... Caravan Nucleus Tasavallan Presidentti - Lambertland John Coltrane Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom (I know, an odd choice, but I feel at ease with that masterpiece of music. It actually has a weird affect on me, all good though)

I went for Robin Trower when laying on the sofa, gasping for air.......and yesterday I gave KC's Islands a rare playing...seemed to mesh with the weather....but it is a weird album, and you have to be in the right mood...

...also "flowers in the rain" by the Move, and "After the storm" by Stray, or "Close to the Edge" has a nice gentle stream running through it...COOOOL!!!
