I agree with so much of this. I've only heard 13 of these titles, but I'm featuring tracks from both the Akinmusire and The Necks albums on my Jan. 21 show. The thought of playing just an excerpt from The Necks album in a town of less than 10,000 people crossed my mind but the beautiful development would be totally lost and would be presumptuous of me to think that they wouldn't be able to feel the musical pull.
Nice observation - when we were recording/mixing the album we didn’t distinguish between instrumental and ‘electronic’ sound, we treated everything on the same hierarchical plane. Kind of a musique concrete approach sort of I suppose. A lot of the electronic components were also recorded by Santiago so came from a ‘live’ source.
So happy you’ve been enjoying songs Peter, thanks for sharing your thoughts on it!
