Many musicians were inspired and influenced by the amazing music created by Trish Keenan and Broadcast before her untimely passing. Lucky for us, an amazing mixtape full of obscure, psychedelic gems, which inspired her, has been posted by Joe Muggs of Arts Desk:

“A friend in Birmingham who had become good friends with Keenan in recent years has passed me THIS LINK for a “mixtape” she gave him very recently. It’s the most wonderful collection of psychedelic rarities, film music and synthesiser experiments, and perfectly illustrates Keenan’s constant mission to turn people on to exquisite and unusual sounds – but also, as the tracks are not titled, shows the sense of mystery and incentive to investigate with which she imbued all her work.”..“To quote my friend David: ‘Before she went to Australia Trish sent me a mix CD of bonkers pop music she compiled, I never thanked her. It’s called Mind-Bending Motorway Mix and I want to share it with you, please pass the link on, share it far and wide, it’s a little tribute to an (as a friend referred to her today) exhilarating woman…”

FACT: The electronic music scene is growing in Texas and Tommy Blackburn aka Tommy Boy, video director (Telepathe, CFCF) and purveyor of obscure electronic music, is letting the world know with a rad mixtape that he created for Vice UK. Here is what he had to say about it:

“When Vice UK asked for a submission, I knew I had to share the sound that can only be found right here in my home state of Texas. I am fortunate to live in a place where so many of my peers are creating the kind of music I love. When most kids are worrying about how the grass is greener elsewhere, these bands are working hard to make where they are where they want to be…This mix is made up of current Texas synth-based projects and covers many genres, from industrial EBM to techno, leftfield disco to electro, deep house to minimal wave and even a little screwgaze for good measure.”

In the late ’70s and especially in the early  ’80s with The Talking Heads, Brian Eno created some far out sounds his own loose and unique mixture of James Brown grooves and African rhythms (see his own Before and After Science and The Talking Heads’ Remain in Light, which he produced).

Now DJ Food has put together what he calls “an hour long trip through the funked-up side of Brian Eno’s output since the 70’s. Expect David Bryne, nonsense verse, Talking Heads, The Grid and a whole lot of slap bass.” And guess what? It’s so weird and funky that it will surely stink up your browser and cause you to have spasms.

LISTEN TO IT HERE.
