Kaleidoscope and sitar. Can it get much better than this?

Here’s to a year full of beautiful things!

Skeleton Tree (2016)

Posted on 2016-09-14 by gigi

We were lucky enough to go see Nick Cave’s documentary ‘One More Time With Feeling’ on the 8th, as the album ‘Skeleton Tree‘ came out the next day.
It was a haunting movie. The album is tremendous.

If you want to read pretty things said about it go to the Guardian. If you want to read ugly things, go to the usual gutter at the end of the article where the sheep and the vultures always lie: the comments section.

Cuz I’m out of words.

I’ve mentioned before This Train, the album from David Lynch and Chrysta Bell, and the superb video for the song Bird Of Flames.

Somehow I missed the fact that there were at least two other videos for songs from the album. I don’t mind since I get to enjoy it now.

Beautiful in so many ways:

This is fucking beautiful.

Unfinished Sympathy [1991]

Beautiful song and understated yet touching video from my favourite Massive Attack album, Blue Lines. A classic from my uni years:

I recommend the whole album if you’ve never heard it.

My essential albums I – Chill Out [1990]

Chill Out from The KLF - at wikipedia

By The KLF.
Chill Out is an album with no songs. It’s a continuous soundtrack of samples, sounds and music that mellows me, calms me down and nudges me gently into peace.

Beautiful, instinctive, and so, so much more.
It’s a piece of art.

Thank you Justified.

Bird of Flames [2012]

Music track from David Lynch’s 2011 album This Train, directed by Chel White.
In my opinion, five minutes of beautiful.
