3. K. Leimer – the grey catalog
I used to listen to Kerry Leimer in the 80’s. He was a fellow Seattleite doing ambient music ala Eno’s Music for Airports, fairly unusual for anyone in Seatown at that point. He even got a song on one of the Seattle Syndrome albums under the name Savant (Savant, plus his other 80’s work has been re-released on the RVNG Intl label – recomended). I’d heard nothing by or about him in a million years and randomly thought of him a year or so ago, did the Google search and here we are. The grey catalog is a fine piece of driftery. Violins move by. Bob Dylan talks to Watson the IBM computer. Repeatedly. This isn’t LSD, but it is a shapeshifter, relentless in motion. Most enjoyable. I am not versed enough in this style of music to tell you which three people it most sounds like, but that doesn’t really matter now, does it? Worthy.
