I loved Matthew Seligman! I was so chuffed that he got to play with Bowie at Live Aid.

Ah! I can see that would see you off :-)

That period was a great one for bassists, though, wasn’t it? (Even excluding Mick Karn and Pino Palladino 🙂)

I can see that; it was a big leap musically from band to solo career.

Yes, 100%.

Even his time in Japan is underrated, imo. To go from 'Adolescent Sex' to 'Tin Drum' in four years is mind-blowing.

You’re very welcome!

I’m enjoying this enormously. Would 100% recommend 👍

This week's #electronicears is now up on Mixcloud!

DakhaBrakha on stage at the Royal Northern College of Music.

That was (probably) the best show I’ve seen this year: DakhaBrakha at RNCM.

Ha! I hear you. I have to do an annual purge of the unread books pile :-/

Have you read Reza Aslan's 'Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth'? Really good book, if you're interested.

Oh! What’s the book?

I have! And yes, I love it, too. (Although I think the video for 'Such A Shame' is my favourite.)

Oh! That’s a nice coincidence :-)

100%! It was nice being led back to the album by Danny Thompson. It’s been a while since I’ve played it.

I was too young to be aware of Danny Thompson's early work, especially with Pentangle, so I only became aware of his amazing acoustic bass work when artists I liked had him play on their records.

Here are three of them:

May I recommend the new album from Eera?

Great songwriting, almost folky, beautifully performed.

Feels like reality is falling in line with Mick Herron’s latest book. Or maybe its sequel.

Hadn’t ever heard of this, but bought it yesterday after seeing the post below.

Great album! Would (also) recommend.

And recommend following Secret Ambient Club, if you like this sort of thing :-)

Hi. Will it be possible to pre-order this as a digital download?
