Good luck explaining the contemporary pop, hip hop and R&B landscape without Odd Future. Many of its current trends – colourful, jazz inflected production, a focus on collectives and collaborative scenes, free genre experimentation and cross pollination, were all channelled through a crew of LA school kids, skateboarders and their friends at the dawn of the 2010s. Tyler, The Creator, Frank Ocean, Earl Sweatshirt, The Internet, and numerous acts and artists who have orbited the now defunct label of Odd Future represent a dominance of modern US popular music that is tough to truly calculate. We sift through their influence and pick out some of their most important music.

Flaming Tunes

Flaming Tunes

Flaming Tunes has been played over 40 times on NTS, first on 8 January 2014. Flaming Tunes's music has been featured on 45 episodes.

The album Flaming Tunes was recorded in collaboration with Mary Currie after Gareth Williams left This Heat in the early 1980's and returned from the first of several trips to India. Except for its initial release in 1985 on Cassette, there was no official edition of Flaming Tunes until recently, although a bootleg CD from the late 1990's included the tape in its entirety. It was misleadingly described as "This Heat’s final demo recordings" which was a great cause of annoyance to Gareth.

He considered the Tunes album a deliberate attempt to create a music with a different mood and texture to the often harsh and uncompromising This Heat recordings, whilst giving full reign to his eclectic tastes and distinctive musical stylings.

It was reissued in summer 2009 on CD. Find out more here.
