I'm slowly beginning to put together a play list for the La Luz race and I'm finding myself craving some of that wall of sound effect from Old School electronic and ambient music – Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, Brian Eno, Fripp, Jarre, Laurie Anderson, Gary Numan, and Bowie's unparalleled Low. If you don't have Low on album or CD, do yourself a favor and go download "Crashing in the Same Car" and this song, which contains some of the greatest pop music lyrics ever written.
What are you craving aurally these days?

A silence so sound
construction is abated
by it's majesty.
Gnome: I love Adele. I just hope she doesn't slip into Joan Osborne-like obscurity.
Haiku Master: You and Bowie would make quite the pair . . .
After Adam Lambert sang several David Bowie songs, I've also been craving a little of the early stuff and youtube has been my juke box recently. But, our shop has a radio playing all day, so often by the time I get home, I'm looking for my other favorite kind of music,
nothing.
Well my mum is staying with me at the mo and what I am craving aurally at the mo is SILENCE
Although to chill out I do love J J Cale
Orally, cookies and cream ice cream. Aurally, I dunno...
Have you heard the CD where an acoustic group re-created Eno's Music for Airports note for note? It is most unbelievable. I heard a radio show once where they spliced a few sections together, and you couldn't tell the difference. Not sure you'd want to run to it, though. Even through airports.
These days, I crave silence. Even when I'm in the car, radio goes off.
Reminds me of a joke about aural sex that I had the good sense to forget some time ago....
I'm craving some Soundgarden and Audioslave. I love Chris Cornell's voice. I heard an Audioslave song on the radio yesterday, and I went to dig out my CD and couldn't find it.
:/
Boxer: I was lucky enough to be front row center at Bowie's Serious Moonlight tour stop in Phoenix. He was so beautiful. Still is.
Emma: I remember last time your mum visited. Didn't you try to bury her in your garden?
Heather: Eat to the beat, girl.
Czar: No, I have to get that! One of these days, Eno is going to soundtrack my life.
Gnome: Have you been listening to Iggy Pop by any chance?
kmwthay: I always crave Chris Cornell. Oops? Did I just say that?
Pretty much anything I can play or practice with on the guitar.
For me music is the sauce I cover my activities with. What I listen to depends on what I'm doing.
If you are going to put Robert FRipp on the list you might want to add a little Adrienne Belew. They go very well together.
NYD: For me music is the sauce I cover my activities with. Yes!
In my next life, I'm going to be able to play like Fripp/Belew: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFvS1RcK7o8
Moi, if you are fan of Bowie at that period in time, may I recommend this book. For two reasons.
http://www.amazon.com/Bowie-Berlin-New-Career-Town/dp/1906002088
Reason 1: It tells the story of Bowie at the time of the album; and
Reason 2: The author is my British niece's boyfriend!
I need to go order a copy for me. Can't believe I haven't done that yet, book fiend that I am.
Pam: Very cool, thanks!
