Paul Hardcastle - The Wizard CD

The last couple of weeks I've been listening to a lot of 1984 - 1986 songs of Paul Hardcastle. Got triggered by the release of several LinnDrum emulations and I discovered this great 4CD compilation: was released in 2023:

In the mid eighties I was a big fan. Brilliant combination of the various genres that I grew up with and that I was listening to at that time (Electro/Hip Hop/BritFunk). From the late eighties I've been listening more and more to Hip Hop,, less to other genres. But every now and then those PH records and CDs draw my attention again.

Never thought I'd ever use any of the V Collection synths. I normally only use the organs, Rhodes and Mellotron. But it's refreshing and fun to make something different using different tools and methods.

I currently have Earth, Wind and Fire's 1971 album on the platter. Just flipped it, so "C'mon Children" is what's playing right now.

In my head, Prince's "Raspberry Beret" has just surfaced, but I'm not quite yet sure what I want to play through the outer sound system.

It's not very catchy, though, is it?

Earlier this evening I put Blind Idiot God's self-titled album on the platter because I remembered having really liked one of their tracks that was included in an SSL compilation in the late 80s -- and the first track on Side A was not quite to my taste, although I suppose I did consider that it might have been made in response to circumstances at the time.

It was probably one of the three "dub" tracks on Side B that might be the one that I liked on the SSL compilation (over time I have allowed some stuff to block the lower level of my vinyl crates -- maybe there are still some other surprising remembrances to be found).

In my meager output I believe I have been more of an artifact-maker than a journal-poet, which is not to say that I have never had some degree of internal screaming. Maybe in these times commiserating and rallying works should be the order of the day, but those can also go very wrong.

"In a hidden temple, the tea grows cold"

Edit: No! For those sprouts who can, it's better for everyone if they seek and try to understand the roots of our existence, and share that understanding for the sake of greater conviviality among us transitory sprouts.
