Kscope Podcast 146 - Mariusz Duda (Lunatic Soul, Riverside)

In Kscope 146 Mariusz Duda (Riverside, Lunatic Soul) and Bruce Soord (The Pineapple Thief) find themselves in contemplative, nostalgic mood due to the pandemic, looking back at their younger selves. Mariusz through his Lockdown Trilogy project, recorded in isolation, inspired by the Euro-electronica of his youth (Jean-Michel Jarre, Vangelis and Tangerine Dream) and Bruce/The Pineapple Thief’s re-wired/re-worked LP Give It Back, featuring re-recorded, re-wired material with Gavin Harrison (featuring lyrical updates; bringing the stories told therein up-to-date too). We’ll hear from both Mariusz and Bruce herein. PLUS brand new music from the forthcoming Ed Wynne (Ozric Tentacles) album, a gorgeous track from the Jon Gomm album The Faintest Idea and, talking of abstract electronica, the guvnors, Tangerine Dream – a teaser from the spectacular book-set of La Divina Commedia.

The past is part of our future.

 

PLAYLIST:

MARIUSZ DUDA: ‘Racing Thoughts’, ‘Knock Lock’, 'Isolated’ (from The Lockdown Trilogy)

TANGERINE DREAM: La Divina Commedia teaser

ED WYNNE (with Gre Vanderloo): ‘Seen The Sun’ (from Tumbling Through The Floativerse)

Kscope stands with the victims of Russia's military aggression against Ukraine, and fully condemns the senseless war.
