jim orourke - happy days

I love the main theme from the Last Emperor soundrack, where there are some understated drums, then a pretty ostinato on tuned percussion, then a violin comes in bein all lyrical n shit, then here come some cymbal swells... As you focus on each layer, one sometimes forgets that all the original patterns are still there, plinking away.

Radiohead - How to disappear completely

find the loudest way to listen this you can. sit back and let the feral madness rise within you. don't think you necessarily need to like techno - this is more like the soundtrack to ancient humans discovering fire.

Isn't this a standard thing with Glenn Branca symphonies? & therefore presumably most of the artists he's directly influenced.
Was also thinking of the Swans live version of Sex God Sex from Feel Good Now and other live sets from around the same period. Feel Good Now version is about 20 minutes long.

Beatles - "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" the use of ever-increasing moog white noise is very cool. the intensity of the sound builds and builds and then is cut off. the cut to immediate soft and sunny intro of "Here Comes the Sun" puts an emphasis on the change in moods that is very pleasing. the whole song build up and then breaks like the sun through a cloud. the Beatles had been incorporating Yoko Ono's ideas for a year now and it's cool to hear her influence across Abbey Road.

Bonzo Dog Dooh Dah Band - "The Intro and the Outro" made to seem like every bar a new instrument is introduced, building up the sound layer by layer.

Except from 1969 to 1987, there was no immediate cut to "Here Comes The Sun." It was, "Hey, I think there's something wrong with your turntable; it cut off the end of that song."
(That's what I assumed for years until I heard the CD, as my parents' turntable had a tendency to automatically lift the tone arm a half second or so before the end of a side.)

Ulrich Schnauss - Medusa
otm! I listened to that song tonight as I navigated the final stretch of a traffic jam, and I half expected to emerge into a wasteland of sinkholes and lava flows and Sim City monsters
(but it turned out to be a paving crew, and the choral outro just made me feel sheepish..."sorry Herr Schnauss don't you think that's a little too on the nose?" etc.)

Man, how did I forget to include 'River Deep, Mountain High'? And, to an extent, Lorraine Ellison's 'Stay With Me'?

Minimalism-wise, Philip Glass "The Grid" from Koyaanisqatsi, especially in the context of the movie.
Thomas Dolby 'Hyperactive (Heavy Breather SubVersion)' 12" mix, which comes to a crashing end instead of (what was he thinking?) fading out like it does on the album.
