wait, what's that instrument in the Troggs' "Wild Thing"? It's not exactly a flute, and I'm blanking out on its actual name.

Get one recording of the Beatles' "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away."

Also, if jazz is your thang, "Chasing the Bird" is the best flute duet ever.

Nick Drake - "The Thoughts of Mary Jane"

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Thursday, 23 June 2005 21:25 (twenty years ago)

nah, it's not a (oh gross) recorder. It's one of those things...that's oddly sphere-like with all sorts of finger-holes and you blow into it.

"there's also flute all over kraftwerk's "autobahn" album, and (i think) early kraftwerk in general. "

Yeah the first Kraftwerk album (the red cone cover), most notably the opening track Ruckzuck.

― dmun drive-in (dmun), Friday, 24 June 2005 07:48 (twenty years ago)

Yep, Kraftwerk, esp. "Ruckzuck", "Megaherz", "Strom", "Tongebirge" and "Heimatklange" (and a bit of "Autobahn" too)

Oh yeah, Kraftwerk! Best flute band ever! They used flute in such a great way that it's hard to remember they began as basically a flute-fronted group.

― k/l (Ken L), Thursday, 11 August 2005 14:52 (twenty years ago)

yeah, Marshall Tucker Band--another good flute on the intro to their "Can't You See." xpost yeah "Wild Thing" used ocarina, but the sound is close enough. xpost Herbie Mann: my fave is "Chain Of Fools," from Memphis Underground, with Larry Coryell and Sonny Sharrock buzzing down in the mix (muddy Mississip')

Did this arrangement of Pop Life ever end up on a record? Also, seeing Prince live in the 1980s looks like it must have been the exciting thing ever.

I like the Neil Tennant thing about pop act's 'Imperial Phase'. I've never been to a concert by a pop act in their imperial phase, seeing up and coming acts with something to prove, or slightly faded acts who don't have the pull they once did, or beloved icons whose careers have been going on for decades are all fun as well, but that Prince concert looks so amazing! It all seems effortless (although obviously ultra technically accomplished and honed), that confidence of knowing that you are one the top three biggest/best pop acts in the world, and the audience all know it as well, and you know they know etc

Wish someone would include samples of some of these abstract flute solos contained in this terrific record in a song somewhere.

Traffic has a lot of great flute moments.. “40,000 headmen”, “dealer”... the Chris Wood box set that came out a few years ago is really cool, incidentally.

MARTIN: When we spoke, I asked him about his other passion as a kid, classical music.
What was your gateway into that world?
GREENWOOD: It was probably playing the recorder.
MARTIN: (Laughter).
GREENWOOD: Yeah, I know. It's something you're meant to play when you're 7 and stop playing very quickly.
MARTIN: I shouldn't snicker, but (laughter) that's not the answer...
GREENWOOD: Well, yes.
MARTIN: ...I expected (laughter).
GREENWOOD: Yeah, you see, instead of, you know, hanging out in pool halls and going out drinking and stuff, I ended up playing recorder really seriously well into my teen - in fact, I still play the recorder.
MARTIN: Do you?
GREENWOOD: So - sure. I just kept playing it and was lucky enough to be in recorder groups. In fact, I've joined one recently in Oxford, and we've got our first practice next week.
MARTIN: (Laughter).
GREENWOOD: I'm pretty excited.

...

MARTIN: Speaking of company, what are you most looking forward to about your new recorder group?
GREENWOOD: This is a very good question. Well, I'm wondering what the other players are going to be like, what we're going to do...
MARTIN: Are you nervous?
GREENWOOD: Well, I'm going to be playing treble, so that's in the middle of the register. I'm hoping that's going to hide any bum notes that come out. But as long as I've warmed it up and everything - funny, I have to drive there with the recorder tucked under my arm just to warm it up so - it makes it less squeaky, as I'm sure you know. I'm sure you...
MARTIN: Yeah, I definitely know that.
GREENWOOD: Sure.
MARTIN: Do they know that you're Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead, Or they're just, like, that's the guy who plays treble?
GREENWOOD: It's a different world. Well, it's - don't knock the recorder. It's a great instrument. I mean, I can hear it.
MARTIN: I'm not knocking it.
GREENWOOD: You're knocking it.
MARTIN: I am not knocking it (laughter).
GREENWOOD: In fact, there's an amazing recorder show that I always go to whenever in Chicago. It's like a pilgrimage. I go every time. So I know that recorders are big in America, too. Pretty sure.
MARTIN: Maybe bigger after this conversation. Maybe bigger.
GREENWOOD: Maybe.
