Project Music #2… Mo Wax Headz 2A
Recently I was able to complete a project related to the Lorenz system of equations (or the Lorenz attractor). It wasn’t too heavy of a project, but I still didn’t want to be that distracted while making it. Hence, I wanted to have some instrumental music in the background since I get easily distracted with …
Project Music… We – As Is
Recently I completed two different sets of Lagrangian based simulations ([1] and [2]). I believe that Lagrangian based problems are cool and solving them is fun. Anyways, I believe that the song ‘Magnesium Flares’ off the album As Is by We might be a suitable soundtrack to the motion of double and triple pendulums. I …
Covid-19 Music… part 52… Aphex Twin, Selected Ambient Works 85-92
Aphex Twin, Selected Ambient Works 85-92, R&S Records… To celebrate a big slew of marking once (I believe I completed a few weeks worth in a few days), I treated myself and bought a few records. Among the purchases was this one which I already had a copy on CD. I have to say that …
Covid-19 Music… part 51… Autechre, Keynell
Autechre, Gescom, Keynell, Warp Records 1996. Since I bought the first Gescom – Keynell release, the kind folks at the record store thought that I would be more than interested in this one. So they ordered it in and put it on hold thinking that I would for sure buy it. I eventually did, but …
Covid-19 Music… part 50… The Stone Roses, Made of Stone
The Stone Roses, Made of Stone, SilverTone… I have to thank my friend Bill to get me into this band. It’s always a fun time to listen to them and look at Ian Brown’s haircuts. I found this record in a great record store in Detroit. It was one of my favourite stores ever since …
Covid-19 Music… part 49… Roy Ayers, Everybody Loves the Sunshine
Roy Ayers, Everybody Loves the Sunshine… I like going to certain record stores that get confused with knowing how to properly price various records that are outside of the domain of what they specialize in. I was lucky with this one and got it for $3. This album has some classic tracks, but the title …
Covid-19 Music… part 48… Lady Saw, Best of
Lady Saw, Best of Lady Saw… I really like classic 70s and 80s reggae. Every so often I like some dancehall is also a good time. So I woke up today with this one Lady Saw song in my head. I don’t know how this sometimes happens. It’s the not the worst problem to have, …
Covid-19 Music… part 47… Miles Davis, Sketches of Spain
Miles Davis, Sketches of Spain, Columbia Records… I don’t remember where I found this record, but I found it used for like $7. Original 6-eye in quite good condition for a great price. This used to be one of the songs I listened to while waiting for the subway. I felt kind of sneaky listening …
Covid-19 Music… part 46… Yussef Kamaal, Black Focus
Yussef Kamaal, Black Focus, Brownswood Recordings… One day I was driving on the Lodge in Detroit and ‘Yo Chavez’ came on the radio. When I parked my car I had to stay in and listen to the reset of the song. I bought this album as a ‘birthday treat’ for myself a few years ago. …
Covid-19 Music… part 45… Nice Up the Dance, Studio One Discomixes
Various – Studio One, Nice Up the Dance… I found this record used a while ago when I was in a 70s reggae phase. It’s always a great record to play when relaxing. Anyways, the title track is a classic. This is the extended ‘discomix’, so it might be a bit longer than the original …
