On first listen Iggy Pop's Lust for Life doesn't sound particularly original. The drumbeat a lift of You Can't Hurry Love and the layers of additional percussion suggest the Stones' Sympathy for the Devil.

So what's the secret of this rock classic? In short, Iggy Pop's lyrics and performance. There's something joyously lunatic about the ecstatic delivery that propels the song along at super high speed.

I hope my cover captures the spirit of the original & if not, listen to the original - link below.

Written by Iggy Pop & David Bowie.

Chill Spin

Chill Spin (feat. Special Cecilia)

Arvo Part-ish minimalist vibe. Ideal accompaniment for down-sizing, right-sizing, delayering, exfoliating or any other euphemism for firing people.

p.s. a bit of a Philip Glass vibe, too.

Klankbeeld's description of the recording:

"Corona (covid-19) city is awakening in march 2020. The blackbird is already awake and sings his song. The sun will only rise in this suburb in two hours. 

"It's that early in the city. The Corona virus is also active and this part of the Netherlands is almost locked. Everyone stays inside. 

"The highway is behind this apartment building, but there is also little traffic there.

"So enjoy the birds while the city wakes up slowly."

Metaphysical Gravity (remastered)

The load-bearing wall of sound.

Music: No boundaries / Knows no boundaries. I don’t look anything like my profile photograph; I'm actually slightly shorter.

संगीत: कोई सीमा नहीं। / कोई सीमा नहीं जानता।. मैं अपनी प्रोफ़ाइल फ़ोटो की तरह कुछ भी नहीं देखता; मैं वास्तव में थोड़ा छोटा हूं।

Музыка: Без границ / не знает границ. Я совсем не похож на фотографию своего профиля; Я на самом деле немного короче.

الموسيقى: بلا حدود / لا تعرف حدود. لا أبدو مثل صورة ملفي الشخصي ؛ أنا في الواقع أقصر قليلاً.

音乐：无界限/无界限。我看上去不像我的个人资料照片；我实际上略矮一些。
