KW 39 / Light in October
1. Oktober, ein leichter Nieselregen setzt ein. Vielleicht ein Zeichen, sich um ein paar lange liegengebliebene Projekte und Baustellen zu kümmern – oder ein paar neue aufzumachen. Eins steht jedenfalls schon fest: Ich werde mich diesen Oktober weiter durch den Back-Katalog von FlauFlau hören.
Erste Entdeckung: Light in August von Danny Norbury.
For me the urge to write music happens very rarely, and the desire to record what has been written is rarer still. Listening to these pieces now is like rereading an old diary – feelings of wonder, of sadness, of excitement, of falling in love.

Mit seinem Cello ist Danny Norbury auch ein Teil von The Boats:
The Boats are of course the well known duo of Craig Tattersall and Andrew Hargreaves, now joined by Danny Norbury on cello, as well as Chris Stewart and Elaine Reynolds on vocals.
Ihr Album Sleepy Insect Music ist dann auch der perfekte Soundtrack, um vom Sofa aus der müden Mücke in der Ecke zuzugucken.
The result of all this is Sleepy Insect Music, a compilation of unreleased or very limited edition works on compilations and Our Small Ideas, an unreleased remix and reworking of previously released work (‘raindrops’). As such it is an essential collection of work for Boats fans and new listeners alike, a wonderful summary of who The Boats are, or the perfect introduction, however you want to view it.
