Changeling disco

(Some naughties suggested the moniker ‘Skag disco’ but let us be nice for once)

Stuart has been toying with the idea of slo mo discotheque where you can’t play tunes above a speed of such and such BPMs, was it 120? was it 90? You can imagine it, meticulous beard scratching and stop and motion booty shaking antics in the midst of a sleepy zone where angles become curves and spiritual cotton covers all surfaces, beautiful edges are blunted but their impact remains strong, drawing you inside the aural space created by tunes such as these below, get lost there because you’re a winner, perhaps dreamer.

Sensational scandinavian cosmic rockers Studio love up ‘Brown Piano’ by 20JFG favourite purveyors of AOR highway cruising anthems A Mountain of One, the result is, as you’d expect, a mind expanding piece of progressive beauty which struts pretty and gentle like a flock of adorable sheep resting over the warm peaks of a small Aegean island, the vibe is one of total & mellow pastoral relaxation, introspective oddyssey shooting the breeze, munching on cheese and bread as the sun sets behind the calm waters painting the universe pink.

Balearic maestros Coyote haven’t made a song, they’ve crafted an otherwordly dreamworld of lush Kraftwerkian beauty, an aural escalator which climbs into the sky and through those sweet clouds where Aphex Twin and Brian Eno sit in the lotus position sewing ambient tapestries or recreations of Nirvana, further out into the space beyond where instead of sidereal cold you feel eternal warmth, as if angels & cherubs where embracing your tired bones, hanging a hammock between two stars and laying your body there so you can enjoy some well-deserved rest from the oft unbearable greyness that is reality.

Coyote- Pretty Wasted

Get the Coyote EP here.

And ladies and gentlemen, we continue floating in space with that beautiful Pharoah Song by French cosmic disco legends Arpadys, we’re talking 1977 kids, and this is the sound of zero gravity love or two lovers siting in the rings of saturn, holding hands and throwing stones whimsical into the void which expands below their feet, that’s where comets come from in case you were wondering.

Arpadys- Pharoah Song

The S/T album including this tune is a supernova of out-there disco goodness which was recently reissued, you should get it here.

Ok, I’m going to buy Halo 3 now, K C Ya.

Do this tonight if you’re in London and not playing Halo 3.
