The Listening Club - 24th May 2020

Greetings folks,

Hope you're all doing okay. Grey and wet for a change here in Amsterdam, but a bit of rain is always welcome to wash away the sea of dried blossom that dusts up the city at this time of year. Pleased to see that cafes and restaurants are opening back up here in a week or so, under strict rules of course, will be interesting to see how everybody handles that, but I'm seriously looking forward to some considerate restauranting over the coming weeks, it's been too long...!

Last week chez #LC, @holette was in the chair, very much in the here and now with her pick of BC Camplight's recently-released "Shortly After Takeoff", which, inbetween the flood of theramin puns, seemed to go down very well indeed. Thanks to Sarah for the selection, and for sailing the frisb across to Finland, where @akx is waiting with this to say by way of introduction to tonight's pick...

"This pick's been on my shortlist several times but never made the cut for one reason or another... but after having spent most of last night shuffling through my music library, it's time for a psychedelic
neo-soul afrofuturist science fiction concept opus (a part of a series) from 2010, the artist's Grammy-nominated debut studio album. (To those who know, that'd give it away...)

#drinkingclub: something fizzy and something smooth, on rotation?"
