What I'm listening to today: "Falling In Love", Surface
This 1983 track is a wonderful-feeling midpoint between the last days of disco and 80s pop. I want to gush about each little production choice, every sound feels crafted. That primal synth bass.
I guess this is technically the extended club mix but it's the version that was on Tidal, and the longer runtime matches the song's unhurried, laid-back feel so well.
What I listened to today: "Prelude to Fear" / "Creating, Example 1", Primus
Primus is known for a Specific Sound, confident, idiosyncratic, grounded in Les Claypool's virtuoso bass. So it's SUPER interesting to listen to this early, pre-Tim-Alexander demo, where the sound isn't…quite…what it became. Intense funk vibes, just a touch of prog, and Claypool does Voices but doesn't seem to have solidly chosen steampunk yet. At one point he seems to be describing an OODA loop
