S-EXY Listener’s Digest 3

The first go-round of this series was a two disc set of HIGH / NRG that I posted up as The Kernels of Goodness on the Exystence: Prompted by Other Blogs, Part 6 post November last. That was before this actual project had hatched.

At that time, long-time NSS regular rev.b suggested a  'listener's digests' that I could make a habit of posting these every few months. I posted up two volumes I called S-EXY Listener’s Digest New Faces & Old Friends at the end of January before I embarked on February's Top of the Pops extravaganza.

As I said then, I'm always one for picking up another new bad habit. Guess it's about time for another installment.

The Ethereal set is weighted slightly in the Tor Lundvall direction. Lundvall is a painter whose haunting landscapes appear on the covers of his many albums. As a musician, Lundvall has become known for a highly personal ambient sound. I have been enjoying his output for several decades. His 1997 debut Passing Through Alone caght my ear at the time. The material here is newly released but from a period prior to & coinciding with Passing (the title A Strangeness in Motion: Early Pop Recordings 1989 -1999 anchors it in time).

The rest is made up of those Kernels of Goodness (Nina Hagen, Lee Perry remixes, soul, goth...) that I have been able to glean.
