One and done
Among the excellent tracks on the the star-studded 1991 album “Until the End of the World” (the soundtrack for Wim Wenders’ quirky movie of the same name), my favorite is “Sleeping in the Devil’s Bed” by Canadian Daniel Lanois.
It so happens that Lord Huron recently covered the song for Sirius XM’s Spectrum’s Sessions. I’ve heard the cover only once - when we were in L.A. earlier this month.
Since then, I’ve been trying to find a recording. I don’t subscribe to Sirius XM, but thought it might show up on YouTube. So far, no luck.
Not even LH’s front Bub can track it down.
With one exception (U2’s “Until the End of World” had appeared previously on Achtung Baby), the songs on the album UTEOTW were written specifically for the movie.
The artists include, among others, David Byrne, Elvis Costello, Lou Reed, Nick Cave, Patti Smith, DePeche Mode, T-Bone Burnett and k.d. lang.
Peter Gabriel's 5th solo album was released on 19 May 1986.
After completing the soundtrack to Birdy (1984), Gabriel asked producer Daniel Lanois to continue recording him for new material, a process that took more than a year.
Featuring 5 singles - "Sledgehammer" (#1 in the US), "Big Time" (#8), "In Your Eyes" (#26), "Don't Give Up" (#72), and "Red Rain" (which did not chart in the US) - So topped the chart in 7 countries, and peaked at #2 in the US (and remained on the Billboard chart for 93 weeks), and would go on to sell more than 7 million copies worldwide.
In some white track You come on right back Cartoon cutout Cut throat let out I'm on your side Be on the both side I'm alright Jack You get off my back I'm no dope I give you hope Here's the rope Here's the rope Now swing away
Emmylou Harris + Daniel Lanois - Sessions at West 54th (1997)
Jason P. Woodbury is rolling through another great season of the Aquarium Drunkard-presented Transmissions podcast — and last week he spoke with living legend / angel sent from heaven Emmylou Harris. A nice chat, mainly focusing on the singer's mid-1990s era, with an expanded reissue of her terrific Spyboy live album coming out very very soon. And of course, there's interesting discussion aplenty of Emmylou's Wrecking Ball collaborator Daniel Lanois.
Sometime in 1997, Emmylou and Dan appeared on that Sessions at West 54th PBS program, and it's a great addendum to the Transmissions interview. Spyboy (guitarist Buddy Miller, drummer Brady Blade and bassist Daryl Johnson) sound amazingly good, sensitively backing Harris' devastating vocal on the McGarrigles' "Goin' Back To Harlan" or raging behind Lanois' storm clouds of distortion on "Deeper Well."
Late October (2005 Digital Remaster)
Brian Eno's 1984 album The Pearl, co-written and performed with Harold Budd, is considered excellent music for autumn due to its distinctive atmospheric qualities, which include minimalist piano textures, Eno's subtle synth washes, and field recordings of nature sounds that evoke a sense of melancholy, spaciousness, and the changing season. The opener, "Late October", explicitly sets an autumnal mood, while the overall sound is described as a beautiful, serene, and sometimes dark backdrop, perfect for the contemplative atmosphere of fall. via google
