Electronic hymns for a new age. I love every song, but I’ll never forget my astonishment at hearing I’ll Come Running for the first time. My man can write a pop song?!?

Glenn Branca - The Ascension (99 Records, 1981) Still as breathtaking as the first time I dropped the needle and heard Jeffrey Glenn’s bass doing something I would go on to emulate. Aptly named, too, with multiple lifts and pushes through time itself. #5debutalbums8084

I’m super excited to premiere this captivating new song from Alev Lenz. Say hello to the Domestisizer (On F). I only wish you didn't have to wait until January to hear the rest of the album! anearful.substack.com/p/song-premi...

Saul Williams - Amethyst Rock Star (American Recordings, 2001) Scattered, but bold indeed, with the production matching Williams mood for mood. An Afro-futuristic gem, Coded Language probably makes Moor Mother & George Clinton jealous! #5debutalbums0004

Rah Digga - Dirty Harriet (Flipmode/ Elektra, 2000) Stacked with great producers and loaded with her bottomless energy, toughness, and flair, this often sounds like a classic. Shame she spent a decade in the wilderness after it came out! open.spotify.com/album/6OUIOB... #5debutalbums0004

Unarchived: Double Bass, How Low Can You Go?

AnEarful @anearful.bsky.social · 15d

The first album is a killer, the second not so much. But overall, a great band! Hunt and Tony (sons of Soupy Sales) were a brilliant rhythm section here and on Lust For Life, not to mention Iggy's 1977 tour (with Bowie on keys).

Goldfrapp - Felt Mountain (Mute, 2000) Atmospheric as heck, with Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory finding the links between Kurt Weill and trip hop. Lavished with horns and strings and loaded with melodies and that marvelous voice! #5debutalbums0004
