“NOBODY HEARD HIS DYING WORDS” (ANOTHER SPOTIFY PLAYLIST)

Can there ever be enough Spotify playlists? I say thee nay! This time we kick off in style with post-industrialists SPK sounding like an unknowable artefact unearthed from some ancient civilisation, and Eno & Byrne like a radio tuned to several foreign frequencies at once. Things then take a backwoods turn with the traditionalist country of Gillian Welch and Emmylou Harris. Other sights encountered en route are the playful creativity of Robert Wyatt, the Ex recounting a chance encounter in a Cold War era bar (with some acrimony) and Melt-Banana… well, doing that thing which Melt-Banana do. The illo is Dali's 'Knight Of Death.'
