A continuation of this series. Not many tracks, but all you can fit onto one CD. That's how these began: as CD compilations. Numbering continues from first volume. This pick has that same vibe as the first one. Unsettling and yet oddly beautiful. Some of the same players as volume one. I added Robert Fripp (with Eno), Sanford Ponder (be careful listening to his entire album while under the influence). Praxis is a Bill Laswell side project. You could do an entire series just on Bill Laswell. Cluster an early German band that influenced a lot of stars. And the last pick is two members of Wire (seminal punk band) who go off the beaten path to do this track as Cupol (rereleased under their names). This track was on a 12 inch single that should be listened to while in a state that allows recreational marijuana smoking. Very trippy. The single looked and sounded like it was from the middle east somewhere. Arabic looking fonts and no real information. You had to know, to know. It has weirded people out for decades. Now you get to hear the drone meets Arabic disco.
