Nuggets 100 – Chullwave (redux)

Nuggets 100 - ! - Chullwave web

Last time I approached a mixtape anniversary (the 100th),  I decided to make a series of mixes with different themes highlighting what I had come to love over the previous 99.

This is mix remains one of my favourites, the first 7 tracks in particular; dreamy voices lost in the mix. I liken them to electronic versions of Phil Spector’s Wall of Sound.

Why chullwave? Well, at the time I made this mix the music wags had yet to decide on a name for the keyboardy electronic sound with processed voices that was becoming popular. Chillwave,  or better chullwave as one Scottish blogger termed it, is / was a term bandied about for this sound.

Gigs, gigs, gigs – Galaxie 500

Well at least Dean Wareham.

A great gig with Dean, his wife Britta and a ring in drummer strolling though the G500 back catalogue. It was a joy to watch a master muso up close.

Stereo bus were also a treat.  The years have been kind to David Yetton, and any band with 4 guitarists is OK by me.

I’ll post some pic’s soon… In the meantime, here is at least some most of the set so you can sing along.

Does anyone know what IKIWM is? It was song that Britta sang as I recall.
