Pleasant Timbre and Simple Harmonies

Using a computer as a musical instrument? Mindblowing. Well, it was in the 1970s, but they still had a go.

Also, turns out everyone from Mos Def to The Slits to The Flying Pickets heard it through the grapevine so I figured I’d bring them together… So much pleasant timbre and simple harmony going on.

That’s all to say, new mix just dropped including turns from Serge Gainsbourg, Melvin van Peebles, Archers of Loaf, The Flying Pickets, Marvin Gaye, Gladys Knight & the Pips, Mos Def, Quannum, MC Solaar, The Slits, Aretha Franklin, The Pharcyde, Tribe Called Quest, Lou Reed, Kid Koala, The Herbaliser and The Sureshot Symphony among others.
