It's becoming more of a trend at LTA studios that
I've been programming the show's discussions based on the suggestions of my
co-presenters, rather than finding a mutually loved record. So it goes with
episode 52.
I am
joined by John Ross, the manager of the wonderful Facebook page "Feed My
Ears", and Shooting the Shit regular, Tim Merrill to discuss
Portishead's "Dummy" and Massive Attack's "Mezzanine" - two
albums I never thought I'd be talking about on this podcast. I confess the
whole trip hop movement passed me by in the nineties, but I am truly grateful
to John Ross for telling me to get out of my musical comfort zone and discuss
these two records. I think we had a fascinating conversation as we touched
upon issues such as whether sometimes music has to have a context to appeal, or
whether the music itself evokes images. Record scratching aside, was Dummy just
a traditional pop or soul record with nineties production values? What
did we actually think of these records - do we love those albums? Tune in and
find out.
Eric
Reanimator once again contributes his segment more to discuss a band he loves
rather than a specific album. This time around he talks about Sky Cries Mary, a
perfect companion piece to this episode's albums.
