Does anyone remember who that synth-pop musician was that Avey Tare name-dropped in a feature around 2009 or 2010? He was gushing about how the synth in one of her tracks "breathed"... she went by her first and last name, and she was active in the '70s or '80s

Yes! Thank you! I knew there was an S in there somewhere, but I kept thinking Suzanne, lol

This is a great musical discovery and would love to know the feature bc I cant find it. I could hog this thread but I'd rather see what others have to say

E: Ok, found it

Avey’s sample in “Lunch Out of Order” of “Moonlight In Vermont” turned me on to Ahmad Jamal. His cover of “I’ve got Mine” turned me on to Chris Smither. Vashti Bunyan, of course, from Prospect Hummer, Johnnie Frierson, Grouper, Laraaji. So many. Thanks dudes.

I found this track via Geologist via our friend Bradford Cox and I keep going back to it. It's awesome to have friends always sending me unheard of jams to listen to. Ann Steel was a Michigan-born singer who had traveled to Italy in the 70s to do some modeling, and wound up serving as the face and voice of this one-off project by Italian electronic composer Roberto Cacciapaglia. This album is from 1979 and falls in the lineage of composers collaborating with singers or other musicians to create something more poppy or rock-centric (like Pierre Henry and Spooky Tooth, White Noise, Bruce Haack, etc). I love the push and pull of all the sounds. It's like it's breathing. It's synthesized but also really organic in a way that's really hard to accomplish with preset fades and the computer programs used these days. I love the contrast between the clang-y junk rhythms and the analogue backdrop. I'm a sucker for arpeggiators sometimes. Think it was all that Ray Lynchmom played me as a kid. Thanks, mom.

Great Job! *scribbling sound*

Pleasantly surprised that my memory of a blurb from 10 years ago was actually pretty accurate
