"It's a sound that, yeah, that other people have tried to copy many, many, many times. It's a sound that can be easily made to sound quite cheesy and trancey but the original is still the best."Watch this moment

Every quote links to the moment in the episode."I think you pronounce his name. He's an Egyptian musician. I guess this kind of marries traditional Arabic rhythms with kind of this wigged out keyboard kind of stuff. And I guess there's like wah guitar, and I kind of love all that stuff."Watch this moment
"I'm a huge fan of K. Leimer. He issued these really mellow records that sort of are like the mellow Cluster. I'm a big fan of Fripp and Eno records, and it kind of touches on that. But really like mellow or sparser and more open."Watch this moment
"It's really, really, really beautiful. Like really, really good Sunday morning music. Very gentle, very soothing."Watch this moment
"There's a lot of stories about Fred Neil. Y'know he came to New York and ran the kind of open mic night for folk players that Bob Dylan was trying to get into as a kid. He's the god of supernatural, chill heroin folk."Watch this moment
"I don't have this record. I have a bunch of his other ones. I'm assuming it's as good. I'm assuming it's just as badass. Yeah, he's a handsome guy."Watch this moment
"Nico Motte, 'Life Goes On If You Are Lucky.' Another recommendation. I don't know anything about it but if you pick up this record and you see the cover, you know it's gonna be something that you're interested in."Watch this moment
