2814 - Birth of a New Day Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Vol. 2 Blur - 13 Enigma - any of the albums really Global Communication - 76:14 Godspeed You Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile Roger Waters - Amused to Death Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot And because why not, I make music as キラヨシ 😁
@@DerekPower Great picks! I definitely mean to do something on Aphex Twin's ambient albums and on Godspeed, so that's coming up for sure. Just a question which script presents itself first. Many thanks for your recommendations, appreciate it lots!
At the age of 17, via the small ads of the NME I applied to be in Sonic Boom's post spacemen band. His manager hooked me up with lift from two Hawkwind fans. My interview was in a darkened room with a big clash poster. He seemed, medicated. We talked about ambient music (eno and aphex twin) and he spoke about howling wolf and bo diddley. I love both. I promised to send a tape of me playing but didn't end up doing so. Looking back it's probably the best thing that happened to me NOT, getting involved with that scene at that age.
No matter how it all panned out, it must've been awesome for your teenage self to have met Sonic. Amazing story either way, you paint a very vivid picture. Thanks for sharing!
At 21, I joined Alphastone on drums with Pete Bassman of Spacemen 3 and the darkside. Played for 4 years making records ,gigging and some tours with The Silver apples, Mirrabilia , and went on to work with Rosco (ex spacemen/darkside) and I've recorded with Will caruthers also an ex spacemen (oh there he is in the video now lol) Currently i am living in Brazil and occasionally bumping into Alphastone/spacemen/spiritualized fans in South America, which blows my mind. ❤
A well said summary of the band/album that made me love music! Ladies and gentlemen and pure phase are psychedelic-orchestral masterwork. Wish these guys got more attention.
I imagine that this would have been the album Rob Fleming/Gordon would have listened to numerous times. I myself took it at face value and related to the heartbreak elements. In fact, the last third or so of “Cop shoot cop” is what I felt many a night after an intimate relationship ending. As a composer/writer/creator, I get less and less and less interested in viewing works as “autobiographical” or somehow a character I create is “me”. Yes, your work is informed by your experience. But I found that the best creators understand that the work has to be bigger and much more than just them. If Jason Pierce made it purely autobiographical, it would come off as a self-indulgent solipsistic exercise. But the reason why that album was relatable is that it just tapped into those sentiments in a direct and potent manner. Sure circumstances may have encouraged it, but Jason wanted to grow as a musician/songwriter/producer. You have to take that leap as it were … to reach for the stars. Interestingly enough, the phrase “Ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space” comes from the book Sophie’s World. In context, it describes what philosophers see and how they describe it to everyone else, who thinks it’s kinda weird. I’ll see what I can suggest =]
It is an album about coping with a break-up, and, provided it is Pierce's work and live - this implies it is absolutely going to be an album about a lot of drug use. Don't overcomplicate things, sometimes it's just that easy.
In cop shot cop, the stanza of “there’s a hole in my arm” is actually from John Prine’s “Sam Stone”. I never picked that up until now! My theory is that not only is that this is about drugs/love, but this is the forming of his new identity. Marked by his ex opening the album, the line shows that there is no going back once he’s made the realization that he can’t go back. Also could you do a video on Pinback? Your videos are dope so I trust in whatever you put out!
@@AlbumAffairs I did catch spiritualized on the sunday night of glastonbury 94, wandered right down the front, folk used to leave late on sunday for work on the monday, tripping on black pentagrams from the traveller's field, I've never been in such an amazing place, there's only one song on youtube, I think i may have grabbed the camera boom and got elevated into the air causing the disruption of the recording.
@@AlbumAffairs No way I could pick one. Each one has been my favourite at some point in my life. Funnily enough I often pick what they consider to be their worst- their first demo tape or "For all the fucked up children of this world we give you Spacemen 3"! Thank you for the nice channel
@@therealartistproper Cool, "Perfect prescription" would be my pick for the best overall album, but "Sound of confusion" is my personal favourite, just love the sound and vibe of that album. Again, thanks for watching, lots more to come!

My friend showed me this album lately! Didn't know that it has such an interesting story, thanks for the video!
Good friend! No problem, thanks for watching!

Don't sleep on the amazing Lazer Guided Melodies. Thanks for watching!
Hey! What editing software do you use? Your videos look excellent!
Many thanks! After Effects and Premiere Pro :)

Interesting theory, I hadn't considered that! I'll definitely consider it, got lots of interesting things coming up :) Thanks for the support!
Pinback are very interesting! I second that suggestion! Love the channel!
i used to love 13th floor elevators until one night i realised the amplified jug is in every song! every good damn song!
Wait, that's a bad thing? The jug rocks! 😂

@@spook_dad Amazing, that sounds like a wild night haha!
Can you do one focusing on Spacemen3
They definitely deserve their own video sometime in the future. Which album's your favorite? Thanks for tuning in!
