I think it's awesome that there's actually an album called Expensive Shit. That is so great.

There's a very special Gavin Bryars album: Jesus Blood Never Failed Me Yet where he taped some tramp in the street and the same sentence is repeated over and over again the whole record but in some kind of very moving way. Near the end of the album Tom Waits joins in in repeating that sentence.

Jesus Blood Never Failed Me Yet by Gavin Bryars
Not something to listen to every day but in a way the whole thing is heartbreaking.

Ive also recently been listening to Gavin Bryars. Both albums mentioned are great.

If you want another Brian Eno Obscure records release from the 70s, then you should try this Michael Nyman album. Its one of my favorites.


Decay Music by Michael Nyman

The Pavilion Of Dreams by Harold Budd
