The Underground of Happiness

Ahead of the release of Fixity 2 on vinyl, and a Cork Opera House (Green Room) show, something from the first Fixity album, dark and murky and engrossing.

We had a good deal of instrumental music in this week, another 2 hour stint. David Pajo is reportedly releasing new music soon, great to hear something from his 1999 masterpiece Live from a Shark Cage . Some great soundtrack pieces from Mary Lattimore & Jeff Zeigler and also Nick Cave & Warren Ellis . Fixity with dark and enigmatic improv work. Elias Krantz with wonderful propulsive rhythms.
