Shrift - As Far As I Can See
| « Previous Track | Next Track » |
“Music on a Sunday has to leave room for thoughts and feelings to percolate along with the coffee. It has to leave space in the head to read some of the newspaper. Most of all it needs to soothe, nourish and rejuvenate… The sonic equivalent of an earwash.
Some of the music that particularly does it for Shrift on a Sunday would be:
Choral/Orchestral music: particularly ARVO PÅRT, MONTERVERDI, BACH, SIBELIUS, FAURE/MOZART- Requiem
Filed under ambient: KLF- Chillout (how overused is that phrase now!), FENNESZ, BRIAN ENO- Music for Airports, MURCOF, THE BOOKS.
Singer-songwriters: NICK DRAKE, SOL SEPPY, SMOG, EMILIANA TORRINI.
Filed under beautiful one-offs: ROBERTA FLACK, TOM WAITS, LAMBCHOP, COCTEAU TWINS, MARVIN GAYE, THE DURUTTI COLUMN.
And lots and lots of old Dub reggae: LEE PERRY, KEITH HUDSON, AUGUSTUS PABLO et al.”
