Unknown visitor commented on the Planet Dog compilation, referencing the Starseeds. Well, I just happened to have some Starseeds in Overflow that needed shared, so perfect...
The Starseeds were a Trip-hop chill-out duo made up of Canadian Regina Dannhof & Brit Alex McGowan.
Their debut full-length was Parallel Life, recorded in their legendary "Orange Blue" Central London recording studio called Universal Feedback. About Parallel Life, Billboard magazine sez:
"the hottest import since Massive Attack."

Nicely, Nate. I've had a soft spot for trip hop ever since the 1st Portishead album blew me away all those years ago.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to interrupt the important work of wrangling your overspill folder into a managable state, so i have a request that i hope you might be able to fulfill at some point down the line. I've been meaning to ask if you have any Tobinsprout (or is it Tobin Sprout?) you might be able to share at some point? I bought 'Let's Welcome The Circus People' after hearing some on the sainted John Peel's show many years ago, and haven't seen the name since. If you can help me, there's no hurry mate, as and when. Cheers.
Here’s a kinda mixed bag. First is Demos & Outtakes that came out the year after the Circus People one you mentioned. Also is Demos & Outtakes Two which didn’t appear until 2023. In between is Lost Planets & Phantom Voices from 2003 & a newer one The Universe & Me from 2017. I have a few more but they need a bit of work & I don’t have time right now. I will include them when next I get back to Musick that Needed Work: T which is next in that series.

Fantastic mate. I'm developing a taste for sprouts! Yum!
DeleteBeing a vegan, I already loves me sprouts, but these are indeed tasty enough to sway a sproutaphobe. Thanks, brother.
DeleteNØ, thanks for the Starseeds stuff, I am entering a (very specific) trip hop obsession and these will scratch the itch for a moment.
DeleteRichie, (as NNS's resident ex-Daytonian) if you're at all inclined and bored I recommend finding versions of the same song performed by Tobin Sprout and Guided By Voices for comparison. Mr. Sprout was second fiddle in GBV during some of their peak years and would often contribute songs to the records. Then he'd re-record them for his solo efforts. Not vastly different, but sometimes in noteworthy ways. Dude is also a painter and author too, check his wikipedia page.
Being a life-long trip-hop fan, I've shared a shitload of it over the years. Search the upper left blooger search or the Labels list in the right collumn. I even did Trip-hop Fabuweary 2024. Want to share (very specific)? Need anything?
DeleteKoooooool!!! Thank You NØ Sir!~
ReplyDeleteThanks VCMD.
DeleteIm the one who posted comments on the Feed Your Head 3 you posted. This album was and always will be the best stuff these two ever released. The followup was still downtempo/ambient (maybe) but like many other projects ie Enigma's debut they did not have that special sauce the debut release had and not as memorable as Parallel Life. By any chance you might have any of the material on their single cds ie The Starseeds – Heavensairportcoffeeshoprestaurant mixes? Just asking!
ReplyDeleteI seem to have 13 various remixes of Parallel Life, Timequakes, Behind the Sun, Starman, & Heavensairportcoffeeshoprestaurant. I made a compilation of them. You can grab them here:
