Build 'Em Ups

This week I'm sharing some of my favorite build 'em up songs - some that introduce each instrument, and some that continually add layers over the course of a song. Also a little "or whatever" note about neustons.   Songs discussed in this episode: Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells Pt. 1 (1973) Sly & The Family Stone - Dance To The Music (1968) Archie Bell & The Drells - Tighten Up Pt. 1 (1968) WITCH - Introduction (1972) The Creation - Cool Jerk (1967) The Capitols - Cool Jerk (1966) Carmel Smickersgill - Questioning (2022) The Village Stompers - Washington Square (1963) Fever Ray - Shiver (2023) Sebastien Tellier - La ritournelle (2004) Delicate Steve - Butterfly (2011)
