Better than Hall and Oates

Dark Was The Night Concert

Only really into the first 4 songs, but sounds like it was a fun concert.

Find it here thanks to NPR.

Ringer EP

Only just got round to hearing this EP Four Tet released last year, and I actually really like it!

I used to be really into his stuff but eventually got super bored of it, so it was a nice surprise.

Thanks to Dom for showing me this:

Some Albums

Civilization Phaze III by Frank Zappa, his last album completed before his death in 1993, released in 1995, heavy use of Synclavier, really cool production...

Big Bam Boom by Hall and Oates, released in 1984, sounds very 1984, loads of hits, has sold over 3 million copies...

Music for 18 Musicians by Steve Reich, thorough info here...

Kurt Weisman

Nice songs, especially nice production.

Nice probably isn't the word actually.

Myspace here!

Francesco Zappa

Bought this in a charity shop today and thought it might be a joke, but no, sometime in the 80s Frank Zappa stumbled across an 18th century composer called Francesco Zappa and decided to record a large number of his compositions using a Synclavier, or "The Barking Pumpkin Digital Gratification Consort (Frank Zappa, conductor)" as it says on the sleeve.
