Second-Hand Sounds, Future Sounds

A really irritating journey this morning, with a coven of three women chatting vacuously throughout the time. Even with my iPod bolted to my head I could still hear them cackling away.

Shuffle All:

Catholic Girls - Frank Zappa,
Evening Star - Fripp/Eno. Just beautiful,
Sweet Baby James - James Taylor,
Cantonese Boy - Japan,
Kerry - Gentle Giant; 4 seconds of the keyboard player from Under Construction
Bed In The Corner - Cockney Rebel,
In D - Durutti Column. Beautiful recording,
No One Can - Marillion. More good production, in contrast to the recent 'Somewhere Else',
Islands - King Crimson. Just great. I know this album is poorly thought of in prog circles, but I love it. Excellent trumpet,
Intergalactic Radio Station - Vangelis, from his late-80s period of guitar-laden electronic pop (Direct, The City etc.),
Thank You - Gentle Giant, from the poor 'Giant for a Day' album,
Just a Bit - Robert Wyatt. More great trumpet usage,
Cirkus - King Crimson. Another old track from the 70s,
Curly Dub - Lee 'Scratch' Parry. The bass is a bit over-driven, but it's probably not made for tinny little iPod headphones,
Pi - the blessed Kate.

T - 1; M - 4; D - 1.5
