[sdiy] Way OT - Today's listening choice

[Dave Peachey]

All,

Given that I've, once again, got a working turntable for the first time in
almost four years, I've been re-acquainting myself with my record collection
:)

So, for a bit of diversity:
 - Thomas Dolby - The Golden Age of Wireless (who mentioned PPG?!)
 - Laurie Spiegel - The Expanding Universe
 - George Harrison - Electronic Sound
 - Peter Michael Hamel - Transition (particularly "Apotheosis") and Organum
 - Harold Budd - Lovely Thunder (particularly "Gypsy Violin") and Abandoned
Cities
 - Bernard Xolotl - Procession
 - Patrick Gleeson - Four Seasons realisation
 - Landscape - From the Tea-Rooms of Mars ... (ah, "Einstein A-go-go")
 - Karlheinz Stockhausen - Sirius (just because Peter G whetted my appetite)
 - Pink Floyd - Animals (because many others have mentioned it and it's my
favourite PF album)

Cheers
Dave

Harold Budd! *That's* who I've been listening to for the last few days. :-)

Quite an amazing group of people that you got exposed to at CIA.

Anything you can tell us about Budd, Petey?
