MAGNESIUM & SULPHUR (ANOTHER SPOTIFY PLAYLIST)

Time, methinks, for another Spotify playlist. This one with a more consistent mood than usual, which I’d put someway between reflective and simmering.

Points in the constellation include In the Nursery’s sublime invocation of the powers of renewal, Mica Levi’s evocation of love but not as we know it (from the ‘Under The Skin’ soundtrack), Lift to Experience’s sunkissed sojourn with the angels, the Flaming Lips’ cosmic pop and the Raincoat’s corresponding existential black hole, rounded off with Flux’s perpetual war between breakthrough and circularity.

In The Nursery: ‘To The Faithful’
Electrelane: ‘This Deed’
The Flaming Lips:’What Is The Light?’/’The Observer’
Mica Levi: ‘Love’
Current 93: ‘December 1971’
Lift To Experience: ‘With Crippled Wings’
Pentangle: ‘When I Get Home’
The Raincoats: ‘The Void’
Low: ‘Pissing’
The Jesus & Mary Chain: ‘Cracked’
Swans: ‘She Lives!’
Flux Of Pink Indians: ‘Children Who Know’

”Now just want to thank you
For the light that you spread
And magnesium and sulphur
And the fear in your head”
