WFMU: Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from November 21, 2019

Listener comments!
	6:53pm Flash Strap: Good evening Explorers
	🥁 7:02pm chresti: Hi flash and explorers!
	7:02pm Flash Strap: Hi Chresti!
	7:02pm hyde: hiya
	7:03pm Flash Strap: Hiya Hyde!
	7:05pm Flash Strap: I've been wanting to do a spotlight on F&T for years now, very happy to be finally on the case
	7:07pm Flash Strap: This album was such a crucial discovery, if only there were even more from their early days at Juilliard
	🥁 7:08pm chresti: Sounds GOOD! Franco is majorly bummed that he canøt listen live today.
	7:10pm Flash Strap: consider me bummed too! you're missed Franco
	7:10pm hyde: this is lovely
	7:12pm Flash Strap: I agree Hyde, one of their loveliest compositions. They recorded it again as "mermaid's waltz", which we'll hear shortly
	7:13pm Flash Strap: probably my #1 Boneschi track, here, I think I've already played it twice
	7:16pm hyde: @Flash also, manatees. those are amazing creatures, and it's a wonder they didn't get wiped out like Steller's sea cow. they were serious explorer food.
	7:16pm Flash Strap: this is a uniquely weird album
	7:17pm Flash Strap: Manatees are such miraculous creatures, I'm so glad they still exist, bless them
	7:20pm Flash Strap: Even in the bizarro world of library music, this is an extremely unusual sound to dedicate an album to. I cherish this
	7:21pm hyde: it's amazing
	7:21pm just julia: o so excited about this evening of sounds, hi, hello, i like what i'm hearin'
	7:22pm Flash Strap: Just Julia, what a pleasure! Hello friend
	🥁 7:30pm WR: I'm confused, I was listening to the stream and suddenly this guy talking and he says he is featuring Ferrante & Teicher which I long have ridiculed. What, I've been hearing them for the last 20 minutes. wtf. Taking a shower and contemplating WTF I'm hearing.
	🥁 7:31pm chresti: WTF WR!
	🥁 7:34pm chresti: WTF F&T WR! I meant to say
	7:37pm doctorjazz: Hey!
	🥁 7:38pm chresti: I love the sound of sound proof, F&T are theatrical.
	7:40pm Flash Strap: Hi WR! I hope it all works out for you
	7:40pm Flash Strap: Hello, beloved Doctor!
	7:44pm Flash Strap: This really is one of their best LPs I think, very underappreciated
	7:46pm Flash Strap: they get the coolest sounds, all without any electronic processing
	7:48pm Flash Strap: @chresti: they really are, it's an extremely flashy art they practice
	🥁 7:48pm chresti: First I remember hearing this album Hi+Fireworks. They really attack Tabu with gusto
	🥁 7:48pm WR: Point is that my perspective on F&T is based on my working in record store 71 to 75 and they were AOR opportunists covering whatever was top of of AOR charts. I'm ok with revisionist re-evaluation of their work. Just takes me a bit to reconsider.
	7:49pm JtotheK: Quick checking in - hi Flash and explorers, enjoying the show!
	7:49pm Flash Strap: one of my all-time fave Tabus
	7:51pm Flash Strap: @WR: they really did descend into such pure product no one can blame you! I benefit from not really living during that heyday of schmaltz. their early records were successful but not nearly so as the later work, which overshadows everything. similar to the Bee Gees' curse
	7:53pm Flash Strap: Hi J-K! thanks for checking in & wonderful to have your ears with us
	7:55pm Flash Strap: Always worth highlighting their original compositions – this one reappears (along with their arrangement of Tabu) on their one true Exotica LP, Pianos in Paradise (also by far their best LP with orchestra). To be covered in the next edition
	7:55pm Flash Strap: up next, a very good take on Baia
	🥁 7:56pm chresti: Denizens of the Deep, had a good sound, I listen to the SP that is without an orchestra
	7:57pm Flash Strap: following that, reprises of "Loch Ness Monster Stomp" and "Floating Manatees" (under new names)
	🥁 7:58pm chresti: Bee Gees' curse haha
	7:58pm Flash Strap: @chresti: they wouldn't begin to incorporate orchestra until quite some time after Soundproof – the 2 Soundproofs are really 2 different albums, the other one is alternately known as Soundblast
	8:01pm Flash Strap: what a beast this one is
	8:02pm passiflora: ❤️
	8:02pm Flash Strap: really unusual sounds here
	8:02pm Flash Strap: Hello Passiflora!
	8:05pm Flash Strap: what we're hearing is actually the OTHER Soundproof, which was very confusingly how Westminster chose to release a stereo version of Soundblast (the original Soundproof was mono only)
	8:07pm ParUbi: Hi guys
	8:09pm Flash Strap: Hi ParUbi! how goes pal?
	8:09pm ParUbi: Wish I knew! Looks good from here, though!
	8:12pm ParUbi: and sounds good!
	8:13pm Flash Strap: what an arrangement, i mean it's genuinely kind of psychedelic! like a couple of Looney Tunes demolishing the composition and rebuilding it very playfully
	8:14pm ParUbi: a little bit Tex Avery
	8:14pm Flash Strap: for sure
	8:16pm Doug in JC: I bet the sheet music for this is beautiful
	🥁 8:16pm chresti: precision playing
	8:17pm Flash Strap: Hi Doug in JC! I wonder what they would have done, I'd love to see
	8:18pm Flash Strap: This "Cumana" a big influence on Arthur Lyman's (3 years later) imo
	🥁 8:18pm chresti: This really spins my head around, so fast!
	8:20pm Flash Strap: It's exhausting, honestly!
	8:20pm Doug in JC: Hi Flash Strap! The Tico-Tico track dragged me directly in to the chat. Great set so far
	8:21pm Flash Strap: Thanks pal!
	8:21pm Doug in JC: No, thank YOU
	8:22pm Flash Strap: This album would be a real space-age classic like Soundproof, Soundblast and Blast Off if it only had a more outrageous cover. I'd never even heard it till very recently
	8:23pm Flash Strap: well, my pleasure then
	8:23pm Flash Strap: that constant sparkling dissonance beneath it all!
	8:23pm ParUbi: Music which both relaxes me and makes me feel like I'm going insane. Hard to do that at the same time!
	8:25pm Little Danny: Hey Flash, hey all Playlist thusfar looks great
	8:25pm Flash Strap: pre-cisely. honestly though i never feel relaxed with F&T, i'm always a little driven to madness. similar with Yma Sumac actually. that's why I'm breaking this one into 2 parts
	8:26pm Flash Strap: LD! great to see ya pal
	8:28pm Flash Strap: I imagine this version could be the whole reason Bye Bye Blues ended up on Disk Hyman & Mary Mayo's space age masterpiece Moon Gas
	8:30pm northguineahills: Autoharp-tune
	8:30pm Flash Strap: NGH!
	8:31pm Flash Strap: This stupid song gets blown out here
	8:32pm Flash Strap: absolutely incinerated
	8:34pm Flash Strap: like being shot in the head with a black and white ivory bullet, then make way for the circus organ
	🥁 8:35pm chresti: Haha ParUbi
	8:35pm ParUbi: of course
	8:38pm ParUbi: nothing "easy" about this
	8:39pm Ignore Function: Soundproof has a great album cover.
	8:41pm Doug Schulkind: Sound blast!
	8:42pm coelacanth∅))): greetings Flash & Explorers
	🥁 8:47pm chresti: Haha!
	🥁 8:49pm chresti: @Flash
	8:52pm Flash Strap: Hi Dou! IF! Coelacanth! great to see you all!
	8:56pm Flash Strap: @IF: it is really great
	8:56pm northguineahills: Boneschi, new to me!
	8:58pm Flash Strap: he's great, both in this series and elsewhere! he's all over library music
	8:59pm Flash Strap: also goes by the name Mitidrate
	9:00pm northguineahills: This is how I like my Moogey Wonderlands...
	9:02pm Flash Strap: me too
	9:05pm Flash Strap: "peeping" is great I think, really weird
	🥁 9:10pm chresti: It was tripped out
	9:11pm Flash Strap: very
	9:11pm ParUbi: Rocket ship!
	9:23pm Flash Strap: for some reason the only date I can find for this is '84, which seems unlikely, hence the ?? Vol. 8 puts us back in '74, so
	9:25pm Quinn: Some dorks are filming a scene for a music video in my living room, I was like “I can turn this off” and they’re like “it’s okay, there’s no tempo anyway”
	9:27pm Flash Strap: haha, incredible to imagine! Hi Quinn!
	9:28pm northguineahills: the best dorks prefer incidental Boneschi moogeyness…….
	9:28pm Flash Strap: what sort of music video? what sort of dorks?
	9:29pm Flash Strap: @NGH: a rare dork in these times, but I agree fully
	9:31pm Quinn: Our neighbor is making a music video for his band featuring several other neighbors in their living rooms. We have a very neighborly neighborhood.
	9:32pm Doug in JC: My neighbors have been replaced by millionaires and they all kinda hate me
	9:32pm Flash Strap: sounds great, very healthy and neighborly, i love it
	9:33pm Flash Strap: that sucks Doug, lotta that going around lately
	9:33pm Flash Strap: next track after Synthetic Bells is one to watch, very crazy
	9:33pm Doug in JC: I secretly love it, so it's fine
	9:34pm Flash Strap: ah nice, then keep up the good work
	9:35pm Doug in JC: Just like I love this track. I can't imagine this equipment was off the shelf at the time
	9:36pm Flash Strap: Other than heavy use of moog, I really wonder what his setup was like and what sort of modifications he was experimenting with
	9:36pm Doug in JC: According to Steven Tyler's autobiography, Ferrante & Teicher used to practice at this grandmother's house in NYC
	9:36pm Doug in JC: Sorry, typo. Steven Tyler's grandmother's house
	9:37pm Flash Strap: amazing expression of the "wordless vocal" again, I could listen to him mess with that concept forever
	9:37pm Flash Strap: I've read that, yeah. wild!
	9:38pm coelacanth∅))): crap - stream just cut in
	9:38pm Flash Strap: This is the final "Themes, Rhythmic and Abstractionisms" installment. Next we move to Fantastic, Futuristic Music
	9:38pm Flash Strap: Should be back now, hate when that happens
	9:39pm coelacanth∅))): yeah you're back
	9:39pm App ParUbi: Love wordless vocals. They make me go ahh boobity boop
	9:41pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): o i like this. hello, Flash Strap and Explorers one and all!
	9:41pm passiflora: Tetris music-d
	9:41pm Flash Strap: Hello Granny!
	9:46pm Flash Strap: VERY forbidden planet sounding
	9:49pm coelacanth∅))): ParUbi i just don't see that at all. - they make me go oooh, la la lee lu
	9:50pm Flash Strap: they make me go more like wrop, bluop, bweeeeeerp, roooo
	9:52pm coelacanth∅))): well i guess it takes all kinds don't it!
	9:52pm Flash Strap: what an eerie groove this is here
	9:53pm Little Danny: Evan I'll be revisiting this ep posthaste, couldn't listen to it with proper attention
	9:55pm Little Danny: Journey deeper into the cold beyond with me tonight on the Cool Blue Flame! wfmu.org...
	🥁 9:55pm chresti: Haha coel
	🥁 9:58pm chresti: I go eeeewooooeeeewoooo
	🥁 9:59pm chresti: Thanks Flash! Happy holiday!
	9:59pm coelacanth∅))): damn, chresti that's just weird!
	🥁 9:59pm WR: G'night all. Giampiero Boneschi is interesting new to me creator. F&T still under consideration. Thanks for the sounds.
	9:59pm coelacanth∅))): Thanks Evan!

This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

Listener comments!
	6:53pm Flash Strap: Good evening Explorers
	🥁 7:02pm chresti: Hi flash and explorers!
	7:02pm Flash Strap: Hi Chresti!
	7:02pm hyde: hiya
	7:03pm Flash Strap: Hiya Hyde!
	7:05pm Flash Strap: I've been wanting to do a spotlight on F&T for years now, very happy to be finally on the case
	7:07pm Flash Strap: This album was such a crucial discovery, if only there were even more from their early days at Juilliard
	🥁 7:08pm chresti: Sounds GOOD! Franco is majorly bummed that he canøt listen live today.
	7:10pm Flash Strap: consider me bummed too! you're missed Franco
	7:10pm hyde: this is lovely
	7:12pm Flash Strap: I agree Hyde, one of their loveliest compositions. They recorded it again as "mermaid's waltz", which we'll hear shortly
	7:13pm Flash Strap: probably my #1 Boneschi track, here, I think I've already played it twice
	7:16pm hyde: @Flash also, manatees. those are amazing creatures, and it's a wonder they didn't get wiped out like Steller's sea cow. they were serious explorer food.
	7:16pm Flash Strap: this is a uniquely weird album
	7:17pm Flash Strap: Manatees are such miraculous creatures, I'm so glad they still exist, bless them
	7:20pm Flash Strap: Even in the bizarro world of library music, this is an extremely unusual sound to dedicate an album to. I cherish this
	7:21pm hyde: it's amazing
	7:21pm just julia: o so excited about this evening of sounds, hi, hello, i like what i'm hearin'
	7:22pm Flash Strap: Just Julia, what a pleasure! Hello friend
	🥁 7:30pm WR: I'm confused, I was listening to the stream and suddenly this guy talking and he says he is featuring Ferrante & Teicher which I long have ridiculed. What, I've been hearing them for the last 20 minutes. wtf. Taking a shower and contemplating WTF I'm hearing.
	🥁 7:31pm chresti: WTF WR!
	🥁 7:34pm chresti: WTF F&T WR! I meant to say
	7:37pm doctorjazz: Hey!
	🥁 7:38pm chresti: I love the sound of sound proof, F&T are theatrical.
	7:40pm Flash Strap: Hi WR! I hope it all works out for you
	7:40pm Flash Strap: Hello, beloved Doctor!
	7:44pm Flash Strap: This really is one of their best LPs I think, very underappreciated
	7:46pm Flash Strap: they get the coolest sounds, all without any electronic processing
	7:48pm Flash Strap: @chresti: they really are, it's an extremely flashy art they practice
	🥁 7:48pm chresti: First I remember hearing this album Hi+Fireworks. They really attack Tabu with gusto
	🥁 7:48pm WR: Point is that my perspective on F&T is based on my working in record store 71 to 75 and they were AOR opportunists covering whatever was top of of AOR charts. I'm ok with revisionist re-evaluation of their work. Just takes me a bit to reconsider.
	7:49pm JtotheK: Quick checking in - hi Flash and explorers, enjoying the show!
	7:49pm Flash Strap: one of my all-time fave Tabus
	7:51pm Flash Strap: @WR: they really did descend into such pure product no one can blame you! I benefit from not really living during that heyday of schmaltz. their early records were successful but not nearly so as the later work, which overshadows everything. similar to the Bee Gees' curse
	7:53pm Flash Strap: Hi J-K! thanks for checking in & wonderful to have your ears with us
	7:55pm Flash Strap: Always worth highlighting their original compositions – this one reappears (along with their arrangement of Tabu) on their one true Exotica LP, Pianos in Paradise (also by far their best LP with orchestra). To be covered in the next edition
	7:55pm Flash Strap: up next, a very good take on Baia
	🥁 7:56pm chresti: Denizens of the Deep, had a good sound, I listen to the SP that is without an orchestra
	7:57pm Flash Strap: following that, reprises of "Loch Ness Monster Stomp" and "Floating Manatees" (under new names)
	🥁 7:58pm chresti: Bee Gees' curse haha
	7:58pm Flash Strap: @chresti: they wouldn't begin to incorporate orchestra until quite some time after Soundproof – the 2 Soundproofs are really 2 different albums, the other one is alternately known as Soundblast
	8:01pm Flash Strap: what a beast this one is
	8:02pm passiflora: ❤️
	8:02pm Flash Strap: really unusual sounds here
	8:02pm Flash Strap: Hello Passiflora!
	8:05pm Flash Strap: what we're hearing is actually the OTHER Soundproof, which was very confusingly how Westminster chose to release a stereo version of Soundblast (the original Soundproof was mono only)
	8:07pm ParUbi: Hi guys
	8:09pm Flash Strap: Hi ParUbi! how goes pal?
	8:09pm ParUbi: Wish I knew! Looks good from here, though!
	8:12pm ParUbi: and sounds good!
	8:13pm Flash Strap: what an arrangement, i mean it's genuinely kind of psychedelic! like a couple of Looney Tunes demolishing the composition and rebuilding it very playfully
	8:14pm ParUbi: a little bit Tex Avery
	8:14pm Flash Strap: for sure
	8:16pm Doug in JC: I bet the sheet music for this is beautiful
	🥁 8:16pm chresti: precision playing
	8:17pm Flash Strap: Hi Doug in JC! I wonder what they would have done, I'd love to see
	8:18pm Flash Strap: This "Cumana" a big influence on Arthur Lyman's (3 years later) imo
	🥁 8:18pm chresti: This really spins my head around, so fast!
	8:20pm Flash Strap: It's exhausting, honestly!
	8:20pm Doug in JC: Hi Flash Strap! The Tico-Tico track dragged me directly in to the chat. Great set so far
	8:21pm Flash Strap: Thanks pal!
	8:21pm Doug in JC: No, thank YOU
	8:22pm Flash Strap: This album would be a real space-age classic like Soundproof, Soundblast and Blast Off if it only had a more outrageous cover. I'd never even heard it till very recently
	8:23pm Flash Strap: well, my pleasure then
	8:23pm Flash Strap: that constant sparkling dissonance beneath it all!
	8:23pm ParUbi: Music which both relaxes me and makes me feel like I'm going insane. Hard to do that at the same time!
	8:25pm Little Danny: Hey Flash, hey all Playlist thusfar looks great
	8:25pm Flash Strap: pre-cisely. honestly though i never feel relaxed with F&T, i'm always a little driven to madness. similar with Yma Sumac actually. that's why I'm breaking this one into 2 parts
	8:26pm Flash Strap: LD! great to see ya pal
	8:28pm Flash Strap: I imagine this version could be the whole reason Bye Bye Blues ended up on Disk Hyman & Mary Mayo's space age masterpiece Moon Gas
	8:30pm northguineahills: Autoharp-tune
	8:30pm Flash Strap: NGH!
	8:31pm Flash Strap: This stupid song gets blown out here
	8:32pm Flash Strap: absolutely incinerated
	8:34pm Flash Strap: like being shot in the head with a black and white ivory bullet, then make way for the circus organ
	🥁 8:35pm chresti: Haha ParUbi
	8:35pm ParUbi: of course
	8:38pm ParUbi: nothing "easy" about this
	8:39pm Ignore Function: Soundproof has a great album cover.
	8:41pm Doug Schulkind: Sound blast!
	8:42pm coelacanth∅))): greetings Flash & Explorers
	🥁 8:47pm chresti: Haha!
	🥁 8:49pm chresti: @Flash
	8:52pm Flash Strap: Hi Dou! IF! Coelacanth! great to see you all!
	8:56pm Flash Strap: @IF: it is really great
	8:56pm northguineahills: Boneschi, new to me!
	8:58pm Flash Strap: he's great, both in this series and elsewhere! he's all over library music
	8:59pm Flash Strap: also goes by the name Mitidrate
	9:00pm northguineahills: This is how I like my Moogey Wonderlands...
	9:02pm Flash Strap: me too
	9:05pm Flash Strap: "peeping" is great I think, really weird
	🥁 9:10pm chresti: It was tripped out
	9:11pm Flash Strap: very
	9:11pm ParUbi: Rocket ship!
	9:23pm Flash Strap: for some reason the only date I can find for this is '84, which seems unlikely, hence the ?? Vol. 8 puts us back in '74, so
	9:25pm Quinn: Some dorks are filming a scene for a music video in my living room, I was like “I can turn this off” and they’re like “it’s okay, there’s no tempo anyway”
	9:27pm Flash Strap: haha, incredible to imagine! Hi Quinn!
	9:28pm northguineahills: the best dorks prefer incidental Boneschi moogeyness…….
	9:28pm Flash Strap: what sort of music video? what sort of dorks?
	9:29pm Flash Strap: @NGH: a rare dork in these times, but I agree fully
	9:31pm Quinn: Our neighbor is making a music video for his band featuring several other neighbors in their living rooms. We have a very neighborly neighborhood.
	9:32pm Doug in JC: My neighbors have been replaced by millionaires and they all kinda hate me
	9:32pm Flash Strap: sounds great, very healthy and neighborly, i love it
	9:33pm Flash Strap: that sucks Doug, lotta that going around lately
	9:33pm Flash Strap: next track after Synthetic Bells is one to watch, very crazy
	9:33pm Doug in JC: I secretly love it, so it's fine
	9:34pm Flash Strap: ah nice, then keep up the good work
	9:35pm Doug in JC: Just like I love this track. I can't imagine this equipment was off the shelf at the time
	9:36pm Flash Strap: Other than heavy use of moog, I really wonder what his setup was like and what sort of modifications he was experimenting with
	9:36pm Doug in JC: According to Steven Tyler's autobiography, Ferrante & Teicher used to practice at this grandmother's house in NYC
	9:36pm Doug in JC: Sorry, typo. Steven Tyler's grandmother's house
	9:37pm Flash Strap: amazing expression of the "wordless vocal" again, I could listen to him mess with that concept forever
	9:37pm Flash Strap: I've read that, yeah. wild!
	9:38pm coelacanth∅))): crap - stream just cut in
	9:38pm Flash Strap: This is the final "Themes, Rhythmic and Abstractionisms" installment. Next we move to Fantastic, Futuristic Music
	9:38pm Flash Strap: Should be back now, hate when that happens
	9:39pm coelacanth∅))): yeah you're back
	9:39pm App ParUbi: Love wordless vocals. They make me go ahh boobity boop
	9:41pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): o i like this. hello, Flash Strap and Explorers one and all!
	9:41pm passiflora: Tetris music-d
	9:41pm Flash Strap: Hello Granny!
	9:46pm Flash Strap: VERY forbidden planet sounding
	9:49pm coelacanth∅))): ParUbi i just don't see that at all. - they make me go oooh, la la lee lu
	9:50pm Flash Strap: they make me go more like wrop, bluop, bweeeeeerp, roooo

	9:52pm Flash Strap: what an eerie groove this is here
	9:53pm Little Danny: Evan I'll be revisiting this ep posthaste, couldn't listen to it with proper attention
