5 Deep Cuts of the Week (3/26/16)


Obscured by Clouds (1972)
This is one of my all-time favorite Pink Floyd song from the bands soundtrack for the French film La Valee (Obscured by Clouds) in 1972. Has a great, boisterous sound to it, and features some classic yet comfortable classic rock riffs. 

...Famous Last Words (1982)

This six-and-a-half minute long piece by Supertramp features some of what the band is best at- ambiance, pop inflections, interesting compositions, and again a fantastic atmosphere.

Billy Breathes (1996)
A very subtle closer to my favorite Phish album, the song has some great vocals by various members of the band, a consistent and enthusiastic melody, and just about everything else good about a Phish song.

Kraftwerk - Autobahn (1974)
One of the more palletable songs on the Autobahn album, Kometenmelodie 2 fixes all of the weakness of Kometenmelodie 1 into a cheap-thrilling, yet very enjoyable bouncy electronic tune.

Oysterhead - The Grand Pecking Order (2001)
A song from an album that features members of Phish, Primus, and The Police rocking at their very hardest, Pseudo Suicide crams grungy edge and abstract song writing into a blissful cacophony of chaotic jamming.
