A bunch of pink tulips, tied with a ribbon and abandoned (?) on a bench outside Tate Britain
I wonder how many people have photographed these tulips today?

Yves Tumour | Limerence | Mono No Aware (v/a) | 2017
I was convinced this was a single but actually it appeared on a compilation album. Luckily I'm still within the 15 limit 😌

Kylie Minogue | Can't Get You Out Of My Head arr. Masterson & Anderson | The Abbey Road Sessions | 2012
No doubt also inspired by the Philip Glass orchestration of Icct Hedral

First successful use of the new Drafts feature. Bluesky wouldn't let me post it his yesterday due to "Internal server error" so I stashed it.

Sigma | Sell My Soul ft Maverick Sabre | single | 2019
Just a proper D'n'B banger.

Aphex Twin | Girl/Boy Song | Richard D James Album | 1996
Maybe in response to the Glass Icct Hedral, RDJ had a go at orchestration for himself. Guess it was too much work, because he never did it again. This is lovely though

Peaking Lights | Beautiful Son | Lucifer | 2012
The C21 version of unspooling cassette tapes was taking CDs out of their jewel cases and "posting" them through the cracks between floorboards. Ask me how I know.

Aphex Twin | Icct Hedral arr. Glass | Donkey Rhubarb EP | 1995
RDJ is another experimental pop artist who drew inspiration from Glass (see Polynomial C), and Phil recognised that in this piece.

Amanda Palmer & Jherek Bischoff | Blackstar ft Anna Calvi arr. Bischoff | Strung Out In Heaven | 2016
Yes, a tribute to Bowie and Prince from 2016, that terrible year

#OrchestralManoeuvres Day 9️⃣ (catching up)
Icebreaker | An Ending Ascent, Pt. 1 arr. Lee | Apollo | 2019
I was lucky enough to see Icebreaker perform Eno's masterpiece at The Barbican, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing. Extremely moving

Nubya Garcia | When We Are | When We Are EP | 2018
There's a real driving urgency here. The EP includes remixes as the saxophonist experiments with adding electronics to her modern jazz sound.

So far I've got three pencilled in #5debutalbums0509 (all self-titleds as it happens)

I'm afraid I can't in all conscience nominate Strange House for #5debutalbums0509

Mdou Moctar | Tumastin | Ilana (The Creator) | 2019
Crank up the volume and break out the air guitar for this one. Have yourself a better day!
