This week I am mostly listening to albums by artists beginning with the letter - W Wildly - Wildly #MusicSky #Wildly @plentywenlock.bsky.social A sensational release that I play over and over again. Love the chilled vibe. Minimal & haunting. plentywenlockrecords.bandcamp.com/album/wildly
Wildly, by Wildly11 track albumplentywenlockrecords.bandcamp.comThis week I am mostly listening to albums by artists beginning with the letter - W William Basinski - The Disintegration Loops #MusicSky #WilliamBasinski Not much needs to be said about these albums (the box set is ace). If you haven't heard them, give them a go. Unnerving, minimal music.
The Disintegration Loops, by William Basinski2 track albumwilliambasinski.bandcamp.comThis week I am mostly listening to albums by artists beginning with the letter - W The Wonder Stuff - Cursed By Insincerity #MusicSky #TheWonderStuff Another great live album. Saw the Stuffies many a time & they were always fun. Many good memories. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vxib...
The Wonder Stuff 2002 Cursed With InsincerityYouTube video by MV LIRIKwww.youtube.comThis week I am mostly listening to albums by artists beginning with the letter - W Wagon Christ - Musipal #MusicSky #WagonChrist Forgot how much fun this album is! This will be getting more plays (as soon as I've finished going through albums alphabetically) www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
Musipal - YouTubewww.youtube.comThis week I am mostly listening to albums by artists beginning with the letter - W Whatever the Weather - Whatever the Weather #MusicSky #WhateverTheWeather Lovely mixture of styles & textures. The rhythms keep it interesting and so much better than many ambient(ish) releases.
Whatever The Weather, by Whatever The Weather11 track albumwhateva.bandcamp.comThis week I am mostly listening to albums by artists beginning with the letter - W Will Gregory Moog Ensemble - Heat Ray #MusicSky #WillGregoryMoogEnsemble A really fun minimal electronic album augmented with strings. Nice way to chill out. willgregorymoogensemble.bandcamp.com/album/heat-r...
Heat Ray: The Archimedes Project, by Will Gregory Moog Ensemble9 track albumwillgregorymoogensemble.bandcamp.comThis week I am mostly listening to albums by artists beginning with the letter - W Wealdham - Motorway #MusicSky #Wealdham Like an updating or re-imagining of Kraftwerk (but not in a derivative way). In both a cliché & a pun, this synth odyssey takes you on a real journey. Recommended.
Motorway, by Wealdham6 track albumwealdham-cis.bandcamp.comThis week I am mostly listening to albums by artists beginning with the letter - W White Hills - H-P1 #MusicSky #WhiteHills Sometimes it is fun to just wig-out. Rip roaring psych that really hits the spot. whitehills.bandcamp.com/album/h-p1
H-p1, by White Hills9 track albumwhitehills.bandcamp.comThis week I am mostly listening to albums by artists beginning with the letter - W Wilco - Kicking Television: Live in Chicago #MusicSky #Wilco Fantastic live album. Fleshes out the songs & gives them more life. I listen to this a lot. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
Kicking Television, Live in ChicagoYouTube videowww.youtube.comThis week I am mostly listening to albums by artists beginning with the letter - W Wojciech Golczewski - Tonight She Comes #MusicSky #WojciechGolczewski No idea what this film is but I love this soundtrack. John Carpenter crossed with old school video game music. Great stuff.
Tonight She Comes (DATAK07), by Wojciech Golczewski12 track albumwojciechgolczewski.bandcamp.comThis week I am mostly listening to albums by artists beginning with the letter - W worriedaboutsatan - Arrivals #MusicSky @worriedaboutsatan.bsky.social Only recently became a fan but loving all I've heard so far. Downloaded a mix in 2016 but only bought an album in 2023, which is recent for me
Arrivals, by worriedaboutsatan16 track albumworriedaboutsatan.bandcamp.comThis week I am mostly listening to albums by artists beginning with the letter - W Wax Tailor - Tales of Forgotten Melodies #MusicSky #WaxTailor Cinematic downbeat in the vein of DJ Shadow, RJD2 and like those two, a cut above much of the early 00s stuff. Really enjoy this
Tales Of The Forgotten Melodies, by Wax Tailor18 track albumwaxtailor.bandcamp.comThis week I am mostly listening to albums by artists beginning with the letter - W Will - Pearl of Great Price #MusicSky #Will Completely forgotten about this! Gothic/industrial album heavy on the atmosphere. Kind of fun in hindsight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5ct...
Will – Pearl Of Great Price (Full Album - 1991)YouTube video by Pedro Maia Nogueirawww.youtube.comThis week I am mostly listening to albums by artists beginning with the letter - W The Waeve - The Waeve #MusicSky #TheWaeve For me, this has an 80s/post-punk feel. It's restless & all over the place but I love it & I want more. thewaeve.bandcamp.com/album/the-wa...
The WAEVE, by The WAEVE10 track albumthewaeve.bandcamp.comThis week I am mostly listening to albums by artists beginning with the letter - W A Winged Victory for the Sullen - Atomos #MusicSky #AWingedVictoryForTheSullen A beautiful combination of ambient & neoclassical (or whatever we're calling it this week). Immersive & hypnotic.
Atomos, by A Winged Victory for the Sullen11 track albumawvfts.bandcamp.comThis week I am mostly listening to albums by artists beginning with the letter - W Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan - Interim Report, March 1979 #MusicSky @warringtonruncorn.com Somehow evokes my childhood (even though I was a southerner, from Brighton). A damn fine piece of music.
Interim Report, March 1979, by Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan10 track albumwarrington-runcorn-cis.bandcamp.comAs promised in the previous #ChemEd #Chemistry #ChemSky post I have written a more wordy/detailed overview of 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions. It is available below: I stress it is still an introduction but allows me to words/explanation than I can on a one-page summary. Hope it is useful, enjoy.
1,3-Dipolar Cycloadditions — Making MoleculesCycloadditions provide a controlled method for the construction of ring systems. 1,3-Dipolar cycloadditions form five-membered heterocycles. Electronically, these reactions involve 4+2 π electrons &am...www.makingmolecules.comMaking Molecules' StereoThis #ChemEd #Chemistry #ChemSky summary introduces 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions. It builds on the Diels-Alder 1 pagers & is another [4+2] cycloaddition but gives 5-membered rings. It is only an intro. More details will be on makingmolecules.com as soon as I've typed up my notes. Enjoy!
This week I am mostly listening to albums by artists beginning with the letter - W Way Out West - Way Out West #MusicSky #WayOutWest Wow (no pun intended), I haven't heard this in years. Nice album, flows well. Got to say, I really enjoyed it. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
Way Out West - YouTubewww.youtube.comThis week I am mostly listening to albums by artists beginning with the letter - W Wacław Zimpel - Train Spotter #MusicSky #WacławZimpel An amazing album that evokes movement & city life. Rhythmic & has the spirit of Kraftwerk. Sped up my walk in on an effing cold morning.
