Are there "important" Spotify playlists?

Band/track name?

Rothko -Suddenly Becomes Light

in the future every spotify playlist will have a song vanish due to rights issues within fifteen minutes

also, i'm shocked and appalled to learn that certain Internet sites are afflicted with "bot accounts" which can be used for nefarious purposes. Spotify needs to get control of this or it could possibly lead to some real harm at some point.

gave you another play maresnest, bagsy a ride in your bentley sometime!

i do like rothko though, had no idea you were in them

Haha, well it was a long time ago, in fact this year is the 20th anniversary, odd that a modest little tune that was only released on a compilation and recorded live to tape in about 10 mins, before the band had even really formed, should suddenly be working so hard.

Huh yeah this is pretty cool! Loved Rothko back in the day, only now finding out the band started releasing again in 2015. Still play the old ones every now and again. The one with Susumu Yokota is a fave too.

Your commercial succes in the digital age is wholly deserved imo :)

It's a great atmospheric track, MN! What did you play on it, were you in the band for long?

high chance that he played the bass tbh

Ha, right!

congrats on your 40 cents MaresNest :)

Oh, you're all very kind :)

To quickly answer, on that track, I sampled Mark's lovely Yamaha fretless bass, pitched it down and made some different loops to fade in and Mark - who is the main guy behind Rothko and still is - just played, very beautifully, off the top of his head for a bit and we recorded/mixed it straight to a DAT, I worked full time in a recording studio so we were allowed to use it out of hours, a lot of Rothko tracks were done there.

So I"m not on the bass for this one Gerald, it was our second ever session. Before we had played a gig or got Jon, our third member, involved in the band.

Jon, Mark and I were the original triple bass only line up, from about 1997 to 2000 iirc, then we amicably split and Mark carried on - as he still does to this day - with various other folks, he and I made a couple of records together a few years ago as well.

I bloody love those first few Rothko records. I shall listen lots and pour money into your coffers.
