David Mead

A fantastic album from the 90's, full of stomping tunes.

I remember being in The Sun Rooms (a bar in Southend, now closed) and hearing it being played and thinking "I need to find out who this is".

Digging back into the netlabel days - This great release through the, much missed, Resting Bell label.

The description on the site sums it up perfectly...

A fading structure and slight beats in the back, layered with organic drones and soundcapes and melodic sprinkles, hisses and crackels on top.

There are still a lot to download from this defunct label. Well worth your time as the gems there are well worth it.

Today Keith Flint was found dead. He was only 49.

The Prodigy has been a major part of my music collection for years now. Growing up in Essex, and them being a "local band", they were always being played in my group of friends.

So sad.

Today Mark Hollis died. He was 64.

Talk Talk was a staple for me through the 80's and this song, Life's What You Make It, stayed with me.  It's one of my all time favourites with it's pounding piano and Mark's vocals.

And the video is a classic.

The wind is making the house creak, and pulls the empty branches against the grey sky, and this album is washing around me.

Lonesome piano notes, spoken word, washes of distant sounds. 4 tracks, each around 15 minutes or so.

I found this through AmbientBlog's review, from which I got a download code (Thank you!). Made me want to check out more from this artist.

Dreamy, meloncholic, haunting.

I'm a big Biosphere fan, but this took me a couple of tries to get into.  Though similiar to some of his work, such as Shenzhou, it's still different from his normal output.

The more I listen the higher it climbs in my favourite albums list.
