When Gainsbourg or Tricky do their own brand of talking it's
great.

Not a fan of spoken word + background music usually though.
I prefer listening to talk radio in that case.

There's something creepy and religious at times about this
stuff, for me. When solemn goes wrong.

yes, sometimes.

my favourite is the first track from this here.

overall a glorious album -- nay -- on the whole, actually
one of my favourites (when half-drunk in bed).

if you can digest paddy mcaloon's lyrics, which have some
christian overtones, you're ready to enter his realm of
modern age ambient as envisioned by maurice ravel.

oh, and the backstory is quite touching, too.

Generally I'm not a big fan of someone reading poetry over
music - a lot of the time it feels like playing two
mismatched pieces of music over eachother.

Prose-like pieces work much better. One I like is David
Byrne's In The Future.

I've been meaning to listen to that, I read about the
backstory a while back.

" if it's done tastefully "

to find that is just him going "tune in , drop out" &
variations theron for 10 minutes, vs . like, i dunno,

no, it's almost always misplaced and self-serving

Big thing for him I see.

"Like every great religion of the past we seek to find
the divinity within and to express this revelation in a life
of glorification and the worship of God. These ancient goals
we define in the metaphor of the present — turn on, tune
in, drop out.

“We are all wired into a survival trip now. No more of
the speed that fueled that 60's. That was the fatal flaw in
Tim Leary's trip. He crashed around America selling
"consciousness expansion" without ever giving a thought to
the grim meat-hook realities that were lying in wait for all
the people who took him seriously... All those pathetically
eager acid freaks who thought they could buy Peace and
Understanding for three bucks a hit. But their loss and
failure is ours too. What Leary took down with him was the
central illusion of a whole life-style that he helped
create... a generation of permanent cripples, failed
seekers, who never understood the essential old-mystic
fallacy of the Acid Culture: the desperate assumption that
somebody... or at least some force - is tending the light at
the end of the tunnel.”


--Hunter S. Thompson

(and on a personal note, i sort of prefer Kesey)
