 Topic: Attempted Cross Pollenation
Posted: November 03 2004 at 07:34 |
|
As some of you will know, I am also heavily into the Psy-Trance dance scene (stop laughing, Danbo, Dude & Peter!!) - last Saturday, one of my friends, who is a big time prog fan & also a psy-trance DJ tried an experiment.
He was booked for a chill-out set at a major club in Bristol, so we decided on Friday, when we were compiling the set list, to slip in a few surprise numbers for the trancers in the chill out room -
Mixed into the usual chilled dub & ambient soundscapes which are the usual fare, we placed the following:
Echoes - Pink Floyd
Wish You Were here - Pink Floyd
Pillow Of Winds - Pink Floyd
Shine On Crazy Diamond - Pink Floyd
Planet Caravan - Black Sabbath
Lunar Music Suite - Steve Hillage
Rainbow Dome Music - Steve Hillage
The response was universally positive - it's quite a sight at 4:00 in the morning to watch an entire chill out room singing along to Crazy Diamond....
We are now busy compiling an entirely prog based chill set for the next one.....

I wish you all the best. There's nothing wrong with 'cross pollenation' as you put it. There are moments in prog that seem made for such a thing.
I think it was new years eve 1994, I was at a club in London. In the early hours, in the chill out room, the DJ was playing a strange variety of music, mixed together to brilliant effect. There were bits of 'Wish you were here' along with discreet Doors and Hendrix snippets. All this alongside and mixed into things like Soul 2 Soul, and Madame Butterfly by Malcolm McLaren. It worked.
I'd love to try something with some Genesis. The end of 'Entangled' has potential, as does 'Hairless heart' 'Fly on a Windshield'

Fight the good fight, agent Garten!
But for God's sake, man, stop that infernal knees-bent, dancing-about behaviour. It's most unbecoming for a Englishman! You look like some sort of savage Hottentot!

Has anyone ever listened to the French chillout duo, Air?
Check out their Virgin Suicides soundtrack album. It really is
mid-70s prog. In fact, I was able to play a couple of tracks from
Camel's Mmoonmadness album in the office and pass them off
as some unreleased Air B-sides. Nobody batted an eyelid.

Rave on, Jimbo. Sounds like a great mix. I may slap you around, but I do enjoy cutting the rug whenever the situation arises.

Didn't the Orb mix a sample from "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" into one of their tracks? I think it's on the "Aubrey Mixes", but I'll have to check...

I don't like electronic music usually, but I have one thing I can suggest that's by genesis and you could mix in with trance or whatever:
Carpet Crawlers

AIR
Moon Safari & Premiere Symptomes are classic albums. Their most recent 'Talkie Walkie' grows on you with each listern.

Yes, they nicked Gilmours famous guitar lick from 'Shine on...' The Orb track in question is 'A huge, ever growing pulsating brain that rules from the centre of the Ultraworld' They also sample Minnie Rippertons 'Loving you' in that track. It goes on forever, and can only really be appreciated on a very high dose of acid..
Not that I'd know..

Just as a post script to this - the forum I'm involved in re psy-trance has been buzzing over the last week with feedback from the Halloween party - with many many people referring to "THAT Pink Floyd Track".
We will convert...........
Just goes to show my friend & I were correct in our theory that many people of a certain age have come to psy-trance via progressive rock, Hawkwind & Tangerine Dream - only now, they wanna dance to it, too.

Just stick on side one of Steve Hillage's Rainbow Dome Musick! That should do the trick, essential come down sounds
I'd go with Rubicon by Tangerine Dream too.
Agree with all about Air (see my thread elsewhere on the French band)
Also how about some Penguin Cafe Orchestra, something like 'Chartered Flight' from Music from the PCO
Floyd's Great Gig in the Sky
Vangelis' Albedo 0.39 from the album of the same name
must be loads more....
