Digital Lo-Fi: Words
The Library
Nothing is created in a vacuum. For one and the same with our songwriting and production experiements, we listen to music and read books. We were raised and influenced in the modern age of records and print. And over the years, we've accumulated a collection that has shaped the way we think of music, of writing, the way we think about life, the universe, and everything.
Moreover, we'll go so far as to say, these are among the great works of art in the late twentith century, in our Western Hemisphere. Ranking music is a fool's errand. Thus, they are present here, without preference or order. Indeed, the virtual library of our education.
I don't remember where I first heard about Gold Panda, but this is absolutely one of my favorite albums of 2010. I'm not entirely up on all genres, fads and labels of what the kids are listening to these days but I try to be aware of electronic music I might like, and this just floored me in a way a lot of 'popular'/trendy music is forgotten as soon as it's over. This is abstract while never being less than musical, and it's full of sounds that are at once organic and otherworldly. Stunning and tuneful. http://theghostlystore.com/products/gold-panda-lucky-shiner
