BACKGROUND
This playlist features tracks that don't end on the root chord -a strange sensation of un-finishedness to our Western-music trained ears. They also all induce a very physical response in me; real hairs on the back of your neck stuff. The order moves from sacred (Stravinsky) to secular (Low) via the Fripp/Gabriel track. All have absolutely brilliant sounds: Stravinsky's harmonisation, Fripp's Fripptronics, and the restrained pin-point harmony singing of Low. Finally the tracks are all 'covers' or interpretations in one sense or another; the Otche Nash is sung here by Westminter Cathedral Choir, the Fripp is a Gabriel song that he has 'treated' and Blue Eyed Devil is a Soul Coughing cover.
