I'm hanging out after a show with Gabriel & Dresden and I tell them about the time I saw them open for Holden and what a great job they did. Both of them very humbly were like, "thanks man but he blew us out of the water." It reminded me that musicians are fans too and whether you're a top tier performance like Gabriel & Dresden or just a guy like me who could barely get a gig, everybody recognizes genius.
James Holden's DJ sets at The Arches, Glasgow in 2006 & 2007 (before it closed down) were so slamming he blew the cement out the walls. God, what I'd give for the recordings.
i like that music piece "common land" made by james holden, i heard that music coincdently in the radio first time, its relaxing and has a greatness to it, like bringing the whole world together.
Thats why i love Sasha airdrawndagger, it has so many wonderful details, such a masterpiece of an album !! This guy knows what he is talking about, Henry Saiz has him on the top artist he wants to collab with.
Horizons, Sky Was Pink Rmx, Lump and many more are damn fine contributions to dance-musik culture...but my personal favourite is the Animal Spirits album! Feels like a tribute to the kosmische Musik of the german 70's (check out Cluster - Zuckerzeit or Musik von Harmonia for the originals).
Video editor here: All he mentioned was "physicist at Harvard, his side project was measuring human timing". There's a small chance you could find him by going from there.
