The flu has gone nowhere. I drink tea and prepare myself for a night of frenzy reading & writing & coughing. On Filmore's Extended Vacation is a perfect soundtrack. Hazy vibraphone & xylophone, upright bass / ambience high in the mix (too high according to some reviewers, nicely high according to me - it dodges tacky spa music, or what I imagine to be spa music - and creates creepy nightmare music with birds, rumbles and stuff instead). Associations: silent movie soundtracks / early American analog set / Cal Tjader / ECM stuff / Tom Waits during the eighties / Sjtjekn. Nice. A blend of cheesy references & otherwordliness - gotta love it.
