Pt 16: Not in PA 1960s-2020s One track per 5 years

This is part 16 of a series where I attempt to cover no more than one track per album throughout the series (but I failed before) and I only cover music I am into. Feel free to vote for three tracks (or more, or less) from the poll. Please just one vote per track. And feel free to vote with limited familiarity. Surprised to see biggies I left off, especially that Coltrane as it is my favourite from him. And I thought I did "Swimming Horses, but apparently not.

John Coltrane "Olé" (Olé Coltrane, 1961)
The Byrds "Eight Miles High" (Fifth Dimension, 1966)
Mandingo "Chant of the Virgins" (The Primeval Rhythm of Life, 1973)
Gary Numan "M.E." (The Pleasure Principle, 1979)
Siouxsie and The Banshees "Swimming Horses" (Hyæna, 1984)
Cocteau Twins "Kookaburra" (Aikea-Guinea, 1985)
Enya "Caribbean Blue" (Shepherd Moons, 1991)
Stereolab "Come and Play in the Milky Night" (Cobra and Phases Group Play Voltage in the Milky Night, 1999)
Air "Cherry Blossom Girl" (Talkie Walkie, 2004)
Juana Molina "Los hongos de Marosa" (Un día, 2008)
Deerhunter "Earthquake" (Halcyon Digest, 2010)
Gongjoong Doduk (aka Mid-Air Thief) "The Knot" (Gongjoong Doduk, 2015)
Julia Holter "Ocean" (Something in the Room She Moves, 2024)

Here is the playlist:



And here are the tracklists for the polls that I have covered for both the "in PA" and the "out of PA" series: https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=132552

I like to make these playlists to revisit albums and to keep me listening to music as I tend to spend too much time listening to true crime. Hopefully various people will see something in the list that they feel worth commenting on.

Gary Numan was 'the man' back in the day. The only time I've ever queued to buy a record was for Replicas. Cars and Films are also fantastic tracks off that second album. He was one of the true progressive artists of the late seventies.

Enya - Caribbean Blue

Air "Cherry Blossom Girl" (Talkie Walkie, 2004)

Lewian wrote: John Coltrane, Deerhunter, and either Enya or Julia Holter. OK I vote for four. If the boss does that, so can I. Siouxsie and Stereolab next. Never cared for Gary Numan even though everyone else seems to think he is great. That Molina video didn't play for me, too lazy to look for a replacement. Love Eight Miles High but know it too well.

Many thanks for taking the time to listen to what was working.

For any others who find that the Molina video does not work for their location (for my quirky tastes, well worth hearing):



And, to all, while I am very appreciative people who take the time to check out the playlist, it is not a requirement. So, say, those who only know Eight Miles High and/or Enya or whatever, feel free to vote for either or both choices (commenting on the selections is much more appreciated than just voting -- I can't feel a connection with the community just by seeing votes alone). If one can vote for three, or more, all the better.

As for Gary Numan. That is one that my eldest brother had in his collection (bought when released) that had connected with me in my childhood (when about eight) and became part of my DNA for Replica's (Tubeway Army). And then as a teen I really was into Telekon (someone gave my the vinyl), and then I was into The Pleasure Principle. I appreciate the aesthetic (especially with Replicas) in sort of a similar way that I appreciate Kraftwerk, especially for Die Mensch-Maschine (I would say Kraftwerk is better....)

The vast majority that I cover I have not been into for nearly so long as Numan. Generally what most excites now I got into not many years ago at all.

That Deerhunter is a very good one. A well-known album that I had not payed much attention to until recently, and is not to be confused with THE DEAR HUNTER in PA (which I don't appreciate anywhere near as much). Or Deerhoof, or Dear Prudence....

^ She's great! A forum member brought her to my attention (or more to my attention) some time ago in some topic.

^ Thanks, Kees. I especially fell hard for her Segundo album of which I chose ""El perro" from in an earlier one of these polls (part 8). Wonderful.
