It's the only song I know with "one balled man" in it. I also figure not that many people will have heard it. Needless to say, it didn't exactly get a lot of radio play.
If that amused you, this should be on your playlist:
White Noise was an early progenitor of electronic music and considered pioneers of the genre. They were among the first to use a VCS3 synth and tape manipulation. It was a project by David Vorhaus, Delia Derbyshire, and Brian Hodgson. This was just the silliest song on their only album An Electric Storm but the rest of the album is actually fairly interesting if you like electronica. Delia went on to do the original Dr. Who theme song and was considered a formative figure in the genre.
I did not know that. I've never really paid much attention to electronic music, other than keyboards. I used to own a synth, but that like 30+ years ago.
I had to special order that album when it came out as no shop carried it. It was something new and I rather enjoyed it but I never followed up with any more of that type of music. Being from London, I wouldn't be surprised if Syd listened to them as it was during the experimental phase of discovering new sounds and the advent of synths. As I said, the album is fairly interesting when one is in the mood as a beginning of what others did later with more sophistication. For me it's more of an artifact that I rarely listen to but there are times when the mood hits and it recalls some sentimental responses of the era.
I don't know about that. I do enjoy the beginnings of the different genre's, but my heart will always be in early "hard rock" and the singer/songwriters of folk. I'm not even a huge fan of very early Floyd, preferring the Gilmour years much more. Give me the 2 guitar, bass, organ, and drum lineup with maybe a little augmentation for effect. Brass is always a good addition too.
I don't like to let less than "close enough" out of my studio. It's not that I don't make mistakes, it's that I don't share them!
My metronome was set improperly when I played it the first time. I didn't notice until I started the lead. I know the lead part better. I was like, "Huh, I'm playin' this kinda fast!"

I've got all sorts of bizarre music in my head.

Throw this one in there then. 1969 pioneers of electronica.
TheBuddha ago
That kinda hurt my ears. WTF was that? I'm really confident I've never heard that before.

You do like some spacy music.
Have you been exposed to 'Dead Can Dance?'

Never heard of them. I'll look into them.

Maybe you just share 'em for historic reasons, I suppose.
I have no track for tonight, and I leave in like 2-3 hours. Hmm...
cynicaloldfart ago
I can always pull out an couple archived tracks if you want. Any particular ones in mind?
TheBuddha ago
No preferences. I am now over in the studio and have an Ibanez and a few pedals set up.
I'm already missing EH! She would make this faster.

I'm sure you can do a song you've done for years, but new to us, and it will sound great. You know people really like your classical stuff.
TheBuddha ago
I already set the rhythm track down.
It's technically one you've heard before, but I've only ever had time and motivation to do both parts.
cynicaloldfart ago
I'm sure it will as excellent as usual. You've set a high bar for yourself, but always manage to meet it.

Professionalism and integrity. Hmmm, wonder if that'll catch on? They can't say they don't have an example.
TheBuddha ago
Nah, it'll never be popular. It's too much damned work.
