With 2011 behind us, and we are pushing through January at speed heading towards spring, we are well passed the stage of doing a roundup of the best music of 2011, if it is good music it will carry its weight beyond the boundaries of time anyway. It is interesting how we sometimes perceive music in a linear of time and encase it with self-imposed restrictions, the track you bought in 2009 you won’t play in 2012 because you have labelled it “old”, but you hear a track you have never heard and unknowingly from 1979 or 1992 it is consider new, at least to your virgin ears. Sometimes it is difficult to change our perceptions and attitude towards music and time, music trends come and go from decade to decade, and go from sounding fresh to dated from dated to fresh. But this is if you opt to follow trends, which is in itself another way of herding music into a pen that can be opened to let an era of music unleashed on a new generation, or quickly closed to progress to the next sound. I try and make an effort in changing my attitude towards timeframes and music, much like the way I may look at a painting or read a piece of literature, where figment of time holds no boundary. If you have taken the time to read this, then I applaud your stamina, enough waffle, now for some music.
A new mix from DD’s Pablo for the New year, full of great music
You have always had a positively flagrant disregard for trends (I once knew a chap that cut his own hair and often visited Aldi for nothing more than a bit of sport!)
Loving the levitation btw
cheers for the mix Pablo …it has been on loop for a while now, looking forward to hearing more
