Trifling

The horn part from this has been stuck in my head since I heard it sampled in the trailer for Kick-Ass:



Trifle: "One Way Glass" (Dawn, 1970)

The album this is from, First Meeting, is a great record. Like their more heavily sweated label-mates Demon Fuzz, Trifle are kinda hard to pin down: sort of jazzy, sort of psych-y, sort of funky-- basically, prog but not annoying. There's a Japanese reissue of First Meeting that's pricey but worth it.

Faust plays the hits of Pete Rock

Faust: "BBC 1.3.73 [excerpt]" (a/k/a "The Lurcher")

This recording is from 1973, but it sounds like the Faust dudes were hanging out 20 years later, heard some early-'90s NYC rap music, bobbed their heads for a minute, then hopped in their time machine and whisked back to record their version of the sound for a John Peel show. (I'm sure Peel would have been cool with that.) Even more than Marc Moulin's Placebo, they uncannily anticipate the later sound, down to the little reverbed saxophone parts and the oppressive, claustrophobic mood.

The version I've posted is trimmed from a 20+ minute track that has appeared legitimately a few times in the last decade and also on the vinyl bootleg pictured above, where I first heard it.
