Whatever it is needs to be done, that's how you do it, yeah.

@Jamal agree?

I never really got into the Cardiacs--I think the vocals put me off--but I do like one of the bands that came out of the Cardiacs, called Knifeworld.

I'll check them out tonight. I'm not a huge Cardiacs fan, but got into them through Oceansize; their lead singer Mike Vennart is a huge fan. You can maybe here some of the influence in the second half of this song, starting around 5:02:

That's cool. Definitely hear the influence.

Cool, I like the use of the horns on the first track. I definitely hear the Cardiacs vibe. How are they connected to Cardiacs? Also, as someone who moves in and out of different music circles, you might be the first person I know who has even heard of Cardiacs.



Oceansize is one of my favorite bands. One of their best:

Yeah I think that's one of the things that really attracted me. They did a lot of stuff with bassoon as well. This was the first song of theirs that I heard, one of their best:

The lead guy, Kavus Torabi, was in the Cardiacs in the early 2000s, and Tim Smith of the Cardiacs had produced some of his music in the 1990s I think.

Cool. I especially like the tinkly bit in the middle, and generally the whole thing has a satisfying anthemic quality.

There seems to be an interesting niche of British music surrounding Cardiacs. Fascinating. I think I liked the first track you posted more, but this is interesting. Feels more proggy. Some Ian Anderson vibes or something.

If we're still trading tracks, this is the Oceansize magnus opus. The ending is profound.

Feels more proggy. Some Ian Anderson vibes or something. — Noble Dust

Prog feels like my musical home. I don't know about Ian Anderson; what I hear is the influence of Henry Cow (now that's a weird rabbit hole for you if you don't know them; Fred Frith is one of my favourite musicians).

For some reason I assumed they were American, but I see they're from Manchester, and they were starting up around the time I was living there. I'd never heard of them.

I quite like it and I recognize the artistry, but it does have that solemn, portentous 90s guitar rock sound that I'm not that into. Maybe it'll grow on me. I appreciate learning of their existence.

I know of Henry Cow, but haven't listened. Where should I start?

Yeah, Oceansize is a pretty niche cult band. I sort of grew up with the 90s guitar rock sound, so I don't mind it, but it's definitely dated. Which is a shame because Oceansize's musical ideas are pretty interesting, but it's definitely overshadowed by the dated sound. The kids tell me 90s grunge is coming back, though.

I know of Henry Cow, but haven't listened. Where should I start? — Noble Dust

Not sure it matters with Henry Cow. Legend or Western Culture. But I’m a bit more familiar with solo Fred Frith. Gravity and Traffic Continues are very different but both fantastic.

@universeness agree?

Pleasant instrumental sound but I much prefer the invocations of Jean Michele Jarre, Mike Oldfield or even Vangelis!

I'll check it out.

What a delicious double-first for me. Thanks for finding and sharing :cool:
I love George Harrison but had no idea about this film-making collaboration. What a crew!
Apparently, the lyrics had a bit of a sting in them. Subtle.


In the 2011 documentary George Harrison: Living in the Material World, directed by Martin Scorsese, Gilliam recalled that late in the production of Time Bandits he came to see the song's lyrics as "notes" from Harrison on the things he liked and disliked about the film and on how Gilliam was "too arrogant and not listening!" Gilliam added: "And I thought it was the most brilliant, subtle, clever thing a man could ever do, to write a song. He's writing about things that he felt strongly about and yet he's too polite and decent and, I think, respectful of other artists, whatever form that takes, to interfere."

What is it about ELO? Even the mention makes me smile.

Perhaps it's Jeff Lynne.
Again, there's a George Harrison connection.
'The Traveling Wilburys (sometimes shortened to the Wilburys) were a British–American supergroup consisting of Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty. Originating from an idea discussed by Harrison and Lynne during the sessions for Harrison's 1987 album Cloud Nine...'

From Cloud Nine:
"This Is Love" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison that was released on his 1987 album Cloud Nine. Harrison co-wrote the song with Jeff Lynne, who also co-produced the track. In June 1988, it was issued as the third single from Cloud Nine, peaking at number 55 on the UK Singles Chart.

This is Love
