You know, of course, that these guys were both making music long before the Talking Heads around. 

So they're responsible for David "Tellytubby" Byrne's oeuvre? Shame on them. Brian Eno's instrumentals are fine and was a great innovator, though his self-confessed role as father of lift muzak isn't one of his shining achievements. Kudos to the guy anyway, but this song is a definite turn-off.

Is "-ation" the most rhymed phoneme in the English language? It gets a bit tedious after a while...{#Sleep}

Northern Exposure was tv at its very best. My favorite was a show about a Jungian retelling of Jonah & the whale. A friend was in Jungian analysis & we would rehash each show in that filter. God I miss Northern Exposure. {#Doh}

You may not have heard a lot of his material.  Some of what is on the playlist here may sound similar, though.

Love this song.  I found "Spinning Away" on a sampler years ago.  These guys seem to make a good combo.

It was used in Season 4, episode 7, "The Bad Seed". Ed and Chris dance to it while they see a growing bird off to fly with its flock. The song survived on the DVDs, which is amazing considering how many other songs were edited or replaced with generic music because of rights issues.

The episode you mentioned is S3, Ep 8, "A Hunting We Will Go". Ed couldn't think of what to get Ruth-Anne for her 75th birthday, so he bought her a burial plot on a beautiful hilltop. Unfortunately, whatever song they danced to was replaced with generic soundtrack filler on the DVD set, as was much of the non-score music for this show. It's a real shame.

 
Years ago my boss asked if I could find out what song Dr. Johnny Fever played first after scratching the needle across the "elevator music" record that was playing when Andy first told him WKRP was changing formats.

It was tough. As you mentioned, music is typically changed for syndication/VHS/DVD releases. But I found a fan site that stated quite adamantly that it was Queen of the Forest by Ted Nugent. 

The boss was happy with that answer, and since there really was no way to find out for sure (short of building some sort of hot tub/time machine combo) we agreed that was the song.

It is a shame when IP issues get in the way of art. Imagine Psycho without the screeching violins, or, I dunno, Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid without Burt Bacharach's score.

This is such a great collaboration!  I can't tell if it's Brian Eno leading Cale into unknown territory, or vice-versa.  Or if it's the blind leading the blind.  Whatever it is, it's perfect for today! Thanks to whoever uploaded it, and to Bill and Rebecca for playing it! {#Sunny}

I bought the NE soundtrack when I was 17, and there I heard for the first time Etta Jame's "At Last." Right then and there, in my car in the music store parking lot, I decided  two things: that I wanted this song to be the first dance song at my wedding, and whoever Etta James was, I loved her. The song was played at my wedding in 2005, and my husband & I have since seen Etta James perform twice. :-) I owe a lot to the music on that show!

I have a wonderful memory of this album. When my daughter was a newborn in Alaska I would dance her around to this music and she just loved it. She'd stay awake the whole time and smile a huge smile. It's all very bouncy and swoopy and perfect for dancing around the house.

Funny, I felt much the same way. I think it was a case of the album not meeting unrealistic expectations on my part. Hearing this song again may compel me to revisit the album with fresh ears.

Not surprising to hear - two musicians with strong musical identities and styles are bound to have at it in a collaborative setting. It's one of those match-ups that look really good on paper, not necessarily in reality. Perhaps the position of the daggers on the cover are appropriate.

However, this morning here I am enjoying a coffee in my brand new Radio Paradise time capsule mug wearing my new RP hoodie and using my RP mouse pad.... loving this song. Perhaps it is time to give it a listen again. Thanks RP, money well spent!
