Died aged 84 from Covid related last week. First became aware of him in the 80s when he collaborated with Cocteau Twins on the Moon And The Melodies album. He’s done a few albums since with Cocteaus guitarist Robin Guthrie. Budd’s stuff had a distinctive lazy woozy piano sound, drift away. Very calming sound, did a lot of stuff with Brian Eno. Listening to a lot of his stuff today and his collaboration albums with Eno.

For years this was probably my least favourite Cocteaus album. Now I love it.Maybe even more than Heaven Or Las Vegas which I probably played too much over the years and tired of . Once I got my head round Blue Bell Knoll the melodies are very very clever and intricate.

Great tunes as usual from the likes of Aphex Twin , Burial and many many more including some great stuff by This Mortal Coil from their 1991 album Blood. This tune played towards the end of the final episode , accompanied by the most bizarre fractal video featuring dogs! So bonkers. At first I thought I know the tune and that it was by Noah And The Whale but on Shazaming it turns out it’s Song For Zula by Phosphorescent.Lovely stuff.

Their sound seems to be 21st century whilst also perhaps influenced by old skool artitsts. Their recent DJ mix for Mixmag (on YouTube & SoundCloud) also hints at old skool influences. But sometimes I wish Bicep woild let rip a bit more, they always seem to be trying to exercise cool restraint. FSOL comes to mind as one of those possible influences, whilst one track on the album with a church-y choral sample reminds me of Enigma (Bicep mightn't thank me for that). And their penchant for World Music/Tribal vox (in Apricots above) has me thinking of Transglobal Underground. (The first 47 secs of this are a bit misleading.)

I agree. Not sure I’ve picked up on the Enigma one but I will look out for it when I next listen. Yep, agreed some world music/tribal vocals on some tunes. Definitely some hints of FSOL in one or maybe two places. Reminds me of that kind of a Egyptian vocal sample on FSOL’s ISDN “live” album in the mid 90s. Yeah, the restrained cool thing. Not sure if you meant the mixmag thing (which I haven’t heard) or their studio albums or all of the above ,but yeah I think l get what you mean like they need to let rip a bit more. I think it was Alex Petridis’ review he was putting the new album up there with 90s classics like Leftism.Hmmm...I wouldn’t say it’s quite up there with that one. I see their probably most well known tune, Glue, will now be even more well known as it’s the music for a new BMW ad.

Released in 2015. It was certainly the one that got me into them. But looking at the YouTube hits for 2017's Glue (20m) rather than the 3m hits for Just, it seem you're right. I think Just is a much better track though. [YOUTUBE] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oq2Oq1J6t70[/YOUTUBE] (Dunno why it isn't embedding, I've done it the 'long" way)
