Coming Up for AIR
The release of All India Radio - On Pink Floyd EP prompted the twelve upcoming posts.
I always felt that Martin Kennedy, the Australian sound-artist of All India Radio, wore his appreciation of Pink Floyd on his sleeve. AIR's earliest efforts served up elecrtroambient sounds with a decidedly American tilt which started on 2001s Inevitable with tracks like : "Losing Houston" & "Wake in
Waco".
2006s Echo Other cemented the downtempo Americana from first glance at the lonely desert Southwest Drive-In cover artwork through songs like "Mexicola" & "Endless Highway".
With the release of 2009s Fall, things had become much Spacier. Kennedy's enjoyment of Pink Floyd had set the controls for the heart of the sun. The Floyd sound was always in AIR's music, but by 2017 it had come to the forefront.
2017s album, Space used the actual rejected artwork for Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon for its own cover. Settle into your seat. We're about to blast off.
Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou are most welcome. From my heart.
DeleteI do like what I've heard of All India Radio, so many thanks for this. Right from the off that's a real Gilmour type guitar and Nick Mason slow drum beat. Sorry about trying to jump the gun.

ReplyDeleteCould you put "Echo Other" up?
ReplyDeleteMy favorite All India Radio release from the earlier electroambient Americana stylings. A pleasure to share.

Tomorrow, I will drive across the Continental Divide in the US state of North Carolina, at a elevations over three thousand feet. "Echo Other" will be the soundtrack for that experience. THANK YOU!!!
ReplyDeleteSafe Journey. Rocky Mountain high.
ReplyDeleteBack safe - AIR sure did make the journey more magical.
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear. I have only one question. Continental Divide / North Carolina? Didn't think the twain shall meet. But what do I know?
DeleteThe Eastern Continental Divide separates the waters flowing to the Atlantic from those flowing to the Gulf of Mexico. The divide crosses Virginia from Carroll County at the North Carolina line to Giles County at the West Virginia border. We cross at the Pisgah Forest on I40 east of Asheville.
DeleteThanks, Kenray, for the info. Never too old to learn something new.
