Thinking Creatively with Sounds and Words

Thousands of years ago when we lived in Oregon I would spend many happy hours flipping through Portland's wonderful second-hand record stores. This was the late 90s when 'vinyls' wasn't a thing and you could buy everything Tangerine Dream ever recorded for less than $50. And we lived 3 minutes walk from the enormous and wonderful Crossroads music, so I was always in there looking for more MJQ.

I also bought a lot of strange and obscure spoken word records, telling myself I'd be sampling then and showing DJ Shadow what was what. And for 30 years I've been schelpping them round the world, finding shelves to put them on and utterly failing to sample them.

Then, the other day, I was doing some sorting and found a particularly fine example: Thinking Creatively with Sounds and Words. And I actually sat and listened to it, for the first time ever. And I read the cover and did some research about it. And it's wonderful and odd and not very well-known on the internet.

So, since I'm probably never going to do it, I've stuck it on YouTube so you could maybe sample it, if you fancy.
