Music Talk

IDM or Intelligent Dance Music may be one of the smarmiest genre titles, but when it comes to the moniker there is no one that who is more widely known as the champion of it than Aphex Twin.  Kris and Alex take a look three lesser known outputs by the ultra-prolific master of music programming and obscure synthesizers.

But fortunately for you listeners the glitches are barely anywhere to be found on this episode.  Alex, Teangelo, and Ryan were chomping on some new music in the virtual studio.  Listen as they review

Billie Elish - WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?Lizzo - Because I Love YouAnderson .Paak - Ventura

Alex is desperate to purge some sludge from his music collection.  On this round-up Alex is starts off with a bunch of loathed albums and did not finishes. Fortunately things start to get better later on.  Listen as he reviews:

Mos Def - True MagicMr. Carmack - Drugs EP Willow - ArdipithicusLeon Bridges - Coming HomeHarry Nilsson - That's The Way It IsHarry Nilsson - The Point!The Fall - Cerebral Caustic

It should come as no surprise that there are plenty of albums that never make it to the public.  Sometimes those abandoned efforts leak into the general public and we get to have a rare glimpse at what might have been.  On this episode Kris and Alex dive into three such examplesXYZ - Ex-Yes ZeppelinBosnian Rainbows - Unfinished LP2Miles Davis - Unfinished sessions 1975/1976

Sometimes some really good material gets lost on the cutting room floor.  Before discussing Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Kris and Alex got on a completely different tangent that didn't really fit in the episode.  Never fear, here you can enjoy it in all its glory!

Is there anything more wholesome and unoffensive than a white guy behind a piano?  The simple sing-along ballads they produce may be great when you are sloshed, but in the aftermath of your hangover are they actually any good? Kris and Alex decided to find out as they picked three quintessential albums by white guys and their pianos in order to determine which is indeed the best.

On this episode you will hear them discuss:

Billy Joel - 52nd StreetBen Folds - Rockin' The SuburbsElton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
