Dreamticket #23

Thanks fly. Not sure I'm up to speed on all yours yet? They're coming thick and fast!
(DT#25 is up now if you fancy giving that a try)

Thanks COS. Was your namesake first off the blocks with a reggae "In The Rain" then? 1972, same year as The Debonnaires but I don't know who went first. The Dramatics only released the original in winter 1971 so neither of them were hanging about. Chosen Few were late to the party in 1975 bit it's my favourite out of the ones that I've heard. Bet there's others.

I got the Last Tango OST LP from a Filmfair event back in the early 90s, and the ballad version of the theme was my favourite from the off.

A couple of years back I picked his Chapter One: Latin America LP. I think this track's got your name on it!

seconding Ivan on the Kokoroko song!... timely reminder I need to expand on the sole track I have by them...

just gets better and better as it goes this one M'Lord... think have used the phrase nearly every single Dreamticket for months now, but this is the best yet Sir! P🤸‍♂️🙏🎷...

Cheers Papa, glad that you think that standards are being kept up 🙂
Must be time for a new Music For Being set soon?
We should have a chat about that...

highlights for me were that chosen few song (describes the last month aptly!), kokoroko, kamauu and adi oasis (looking them up forthwith) ichika nito, the gato barbieri last tango, julianna barwick (of course) forbidden colours (lovely version of the sakamoto/sylvian classic; you have a few versions don't you?), john abercrombie & ralph towner and the Orton closer too (so pretty much everything! 🤩)

ready here too for the next music for being.... what a grand idea!

Thanks Papa. I did wonder whether this Forbidden Colors would be a dealbreaker for some because the (drama/angst/wrestling with faith and doubt) has been dialled down so much from the Sylvain. But I think what's haunting about that song is hardwired right into the composition so it still comes through in a more understated reading.

Thanks Ivan, love those tracks as well. Great bass parts from Adi Oasis on that Kamauu tune, only just cottoned onto her but she can sound a bit like Bootsy sometimes.

That Circling Sun record's got legs, for sure. I think this is the third time that I've pulled something off it, and Kohan turned up in Patrick Steele's latest when I was listening last night. It's one of those albums that's going to last out the churn and stick around.

🙏🙏🙏

Thanks Patrick. I do love the way that the Zoe Rahman and Abercombie/Towner tracks sound next to each other. And"Sugaring Season" is still my favourite Beth Orton album, twelve years later.

Thanks Rob, appreciate your ears.
How was that Wah Wah 45s night?
Seen this btw? It's on my "to listen list".

It was great, live PA’s in particular. How was your West Norwood gig? Apologies for not making it, turns out I can’t drink copious amounts of rum and stay out till the early morning and still function the next day anymore. I did listen to Alan’s WW45 special. Really interesting chat with Dom about the label. Worth a listen.

Sounds good, who turned up for a live PA?
West Norwood was fun. Attendance was a bit thinner than usual because a lot of our mates were out of town, but it's always just a buzz to get together with a couple of good friends and play six hours straight of good music between us.

Cheers Julian, thanks for listening.
PS still hoping that you might pick up the band-members-turned-soundtrack-composers challenge 🤞😉

it's going to happen. soon!
