Tonight I heard Radio Paradise play a track from the album Still Moving. I'm pleased you're playing this terrific record but please give proper credit. It's not a Justin Adams album; it's a collaboration between Adams and Mauro Durante, the great Italian violinist, percussionist, and vocalist from Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino (CGS). Adams heard Durante and his band at a WOMAD festival. He loved their sound and wanted to collaborate with them. Besides Still Moving, he's played with Durante on the two most recent CGS albums. Grazie!
I recently heard the beautiful, haunting music of Doug Saint and am craving more! I can't remember where I heard him first, but he accompanied me during a hard part of my last chemo treatment, and now I'm kind of attached. He only released four tracks just this year and his social presence is zero. Any ideas on where to learn more about him?
Wilson's new album The Harmony Codex sounded great all the way through and at the first listen. This rarely ever happens for me anymore. A solid 64 minutes. The wife and I both listened to it together and we both liked it at first listen. Nice late afternoon music. Somewhat trippy, definitely Wilson and I say that in a good way. We listened to Madman Across The Water afterwards.
It would be a nice album to listen to after Days Of Future Passed for example. Or Wish You Were Here.
Well into the whole album, the title track #7, was really nice. Melodic and musical and drew me in even farther than the previous tracks which were varied and interesting enough in their own right. Track #9 Actual Brutal Facts came on stronger. It was like Hip - Hoppy / disco-y meets Floyd. If I was to break this album into two parts, I would start out Part 2 with The Harmony Codex. It would make for a really strong stand alone album side.
I looked into the vinyl and there were too many issues with the quality of the pressings. Being new and Wilson, I went straight to the 24 / 96 AIFF / wav files and glad I did in this case.
Is this a new type of Bernie Taupin / Elton John collaboration ? Bernie wrote the lyrics and Elton wrote the music. With a prolific musician / engineer like Wilson, could AI inspired lyrics anticipate and draw unexpected / expected musical reactions out of Wilson ? I really like this song we are discussing and the music itself works without the lyrics.
Iâm thinking of Bowie using the cut-up words thrown together that he then turns into lyrics, like Burroughs and Dadaists did.
hey guys, i agree ai/si should be a tool for good and in this case it is hey kurt let us know and review please

Yeah - it seems like he wants to play around/experiment with it. Obviously he could edit the lyrics if he thought they were not quite right - sort of like if he had written some lyrics then looked at them a few days later and said "What was I thinking?"
What were they thinking has been one of the big questions I keep asking myself as I am going through old, warm and fuzzy and not so fuzzy music with my new speakers. I say this because the resolution now is at such a high level that I am now hearing the craftsmanship of the musicians. I asked the wife if she is now simply listening to the music instead of trying to hear the music. She said, yes.
Wilson is a recent addition to the short list of my musical heroes. Talented and unafraid as an engineer demonstrated by his tackling famous music and having the nerve to remaster and even remix it. Some efforts are better than others, but he keeps going forward. Trying out AI with his music is a very logical next step for him.
