Peripheral Visionaries Mix 3 and THE SPRING
Hello People
Steve R. here - well, I think it's safe to finally say it.. winter's over!! So in honour of the spring's emergence I have created the Peripheral Visionaries Mix 3 Springtime Edition, which was made in the spirit for when one is lying outside on the grass, in a field, or by a lake, under the trees, head tilted back, eyes closed, feeling the SUN for the first time on your face that year... like in the above pic. Think of that when you hear this mix. Don't ask me why the mix starts with a quote from Blade Runner. Haha. Rutger Hauer as winter in its death throes? Hmmm.. Anyhow, the mix itself is mellow and best served intoxicated. It includes such unearthly delights as 'Orleans' by David Crosby, from his sublime 'If I Could Only Remember My Name' (greatest album name ever?) album, Dion's 'Only You Know' from his Phil Spector produced 'Born To Be With You' album, the David Axelrod lead Electric Prunes with the deep down 'Holy Are You', 'The Cedar Room' by Doves - a (rarely seen) modern day psyche classic, This Mortal Coil's majestic take on 'Song To The Siren' by Tim Buckley, featuring Liz Frazer of The Cocteau Twins on vocals (youtube this song and feel all the hair on your body stand on end as she sings it live!), Michael Head of Shack's 'Something Like You' from his hard to find 'Introducing The Strands' album, and one of my favourite, current obscure bands, Orange Can, with their sweet digi 8 track bedroom recording styles on 'We Love You', among many others... hope you enjoy it. Try not to nod off. Oh, and because I missed last month's installment, I will do two mixes this month. Word.
