Sci-Fi-O-Rama

Thought I’d post something a little different that could well see me shot down in flames! yes it’s a personal Spotify playlist… There’s of course nothing more diverse than people musical tastes, personally I’ve always been more into electronic music, for me it kinda fits with the Futuristic/Space/Sci-Fi ethic – but then I’m sure listening to Slayer whilst playing Doom or Quake works very well too – what ever float’s your boat!

So here’s my selection – I’m rubbish at defining music genre’s, my best guess it’s a kinda filmic / Cosmic Disco blend – anyway If you like pulsing and/or shimmering 70′s & 80′s Synth sounds  you’ll probably appreciate it… Enjoy!

1. John Daly – Oceans
2. Edgar Frose – Specific Gravity of a Smile
3. Toby Tobias – The Feeling (John Daly Mix)
4. Quite Village – I Regret The Flower Power (Fragments of Fear)
5. Stefan Goldmann – Lunatic Fringe
6. Marianne Faithfull – Broken English
7. Lawrence – Along The Wire (Superpitcher Remix)
8. Fever Ray – Triangle Walks (Rex the Dog Remix)

*Note that you must have the Spotify App installed – I recommend signing up for Premium too – despite the hype Spotify is IMHO a decent service…
