Marc Canter inspired me to finally post something again. I mean if it wasn't for him or Ourmedia, it would be difficult for us to build and maintain this site. I hope people understand the importance of Ourmedia.
Music fills me with energy and inspiration. I should never forget that.
Tim Alexander should be known as one of our best songwriters and performers. Yet he is largely unknown. To me this is amazing. The fact that an artist of his caliber has gone unnoticed says so much about the state of the music industry. Tim hasn't helped the situation. He lives in seclusion no where near any kind of music scene. He'd rather spend his time writing and recording than promoting and performing. Although when he does perform, those that are lucky enough to be there are left with a lasting impression of awe. If you are there, I mean really there, you feel a power that is at once frightening and overwhelming. The last time I saw him perform, I thought he was going to commit suicide shortly after. It was shocking.
The Slowest Train in the World, is one of Tim's most creative experiments. The band consists of Tim Alexander, Mark Stover, Bif, Mark Spooner, and Kevin McCaughey (brother of Scott McCaughey --wikipedia) among others. Together they have recorded nearly a dozen albums.
Swedelife will now take the next weeks to highlight this great band.
This first track is from the first album ever to be exclusively distributed on the internet in 1994. The Dance of Antoine. Yup, it pretty much started here. Believe it or not. It's our pleasure to let you discover it once again.
