| Music Preferences |
Avant-Garde to Western Swing, stopping off at all points except (bleh) stadium rock & regrettably most rap (too sexist, juvenile, posturing or butch. Regrettably because it's a waste of the Last Poets' legacy, among others): a notable exception for me is Emmanuel Jal. 'War Child' is a superb album. Especial loves: The Doors, Sibelius, Terry Riley, Can, Pharoah Sanders, Battles, Earth, Zappa & The Mothers, Emmylou Harris, The Dead, Masaki Batoh & Ghost, Steve Reich, Cream, Massive Attack, Alkan, Flora Purim, Prince Far I & The Arabs, The Pharoahs, The Orb, Black Uhuru, Faust, Philip Glass, Alice Coltrane, Love, Isis, Airplane, Bob Marley & The Wailers, Porcupine Tree, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Aretha Franklin, Pere Ubu, Television, Art Ensemble of Chicago, Kate Bush, Handsome Family, Mingus, Moondog, The Upsetters, Shpongle, Tony Williams Lifetime, Terry Callier, Bruchner, Ornette Coleman, Edgar Varese, Channel One, Otis Redding, Jack Bruce, Lester Bowie, Carla Bley/Michael Mantler/JCOA etc, Vaughn Williams, Bartok, Booker T & The MGs, George Crumb, Tonto's Expanding Headband, Annette Peacock, Ozric Tentacles, Miles, Siouxsie, Kaki King, Van The Man, SWANS, Sonic Youth, Dar Williams, Underworld, Amon Duul II, Anja Garbarek, Bartok, Ravel and golly I almost forgot the great Eric Dolphy... |
