“Cleansing” music
The Best Song Ever Right Now: Beck, “The Golden Age”.
I’ve had this urge lately to make a list of music that I would describe as “cleansing”. I think this would be a totally useless list, except for the interesting connotations that I clearly ascribe towards the word. Hmm:
- Avant Garden - the entirety of Maelstrom
- Godspeed You Black Emperor! - I dunno, a lot of stuff
- King Crimson - “Starless”
- Mogwai - “Mogwai Fear Satan”
- NeBeLNeST - “Nova Express”
- Pink Floyd - “Echoes”
- Sigur Rós - “Popplagið”
- Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - “Sleepytime”
- Uzva - “Drontti”
Obviously it’s something to do with lots of noise with melodies hidden inside, or long tension-and-releases, but I think it’s more complicated than that too, given the inclusion of some jams etc…
