If you haven’t discovered the SPEKTRMODULE music posts from Warren Ellis (writer), I recommend you give them a try:
These mixes run between 35 and 45 minutes a piece and are a blend of ambient and folk electronica, with some spoken word peppered in from the grisly old master himself, Warren Ellis. Each issue comes with a play list, I have discovered many new artists here, some very good.
Highly recommended.
This Is Love - Atticus Ross
From New York, I Love You
Outliers, Vol. I: Iceland
Two of my personal favorite photographers, Tim Navis and Kim Høltermand, behind Desert City, are teaming up with film collective Scenic, composer Deru and other musicians and filmmakers to capture the remote reaches of Iceland. Now they only need a handful of people to help fund the project on Kickstarter. They have my pledge!
John Barry - Main Title (The Ipcress File: Original Soundtrack Album)
“The Ipcress File represents Barry’s only significant non-Bond spy scoring. Barry avoids the bombast of a typical Bond score by using smaller scale orchestration featuring vibes, piano, guitar, and most notably, a cimbalom (a melancholy-sounding stringed instrument traditionally played by Hungarian Jews or gypsies).
‘The Ipcress File was like my homage to The Third Man,’ Barry recounted. ‘I knew that was how I wanted to do it from the start, but obviously I wasn’t going to use a zither.’”
-Kristopher Spencer, Film and television scores, 1950-1979
This film is a Michael Caine Masterpiece, the coolest spy ever.
Big Maceo with the “Detroit Stomp”, recorded in 1945 - a great cut that we weren’t able to fit into the show.
Big Maceo, whose real name was Major Merriweather, played piano for Detroit house parties by night, and worked at the Ford plant by day. He eventually moved to Chicago to record his music, which is where he met Tampa Red and set down a number of tracks for Bluebird Records.
I just discovered my favorite radio show has a Tumblr.. **American Routes** hosted by Nick Spitzer. They know american roots music.
