Hour 2: Three Longer Pieces
Nothing very
complicated here, just three extended instrumentals that I think are
interesting and worth your time.
The Bullion track came
out last year. This is an EP released by London producer Nathan Jenkins, and it’s
a crazy quilt of fun dance music with different moods, samples, and the like. I
really enjoyed it, and would’ve put it on my “Favorites of 2011” show…but it’s
20 minutes long, and there was too much other stuff, blah blah. So it “debuts”
on tonight’s show.
The Derek Trucks Band
cut is from their 2006 album “Songlines.” It’s a remake of a song by Nusrat Fateh
Ali Khan, at first meditative, then funky and declamatory. Sort of hypnotic,
too.
Finally, one half of
one of the cornerstones of progressive rock, Mike Oldfield’s “Tubular Bells.” I’m
playing Part One, as I’m kind of partial to that side, and I think it stands
fairly well on its own (though the whole album is an experience worth spending
some time with at least once. It gets more bizarre on Side 2).
Those not
familiar with the piece under that name may recognize the opening themes – they
were appropriated by director William Friedkin for his movie “The Exorcist.”
Favorite part’s the end of Side 1, though.
