Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

12. Alice ColtraneTuriya & Ramakrishna

I could never make a list without having Alice Coltrane on it. Her presence in my life through her music has been there since I started making music, and before that. This is another one where it was incredibly hard to choose a track, so I tried to think about it in the context of Silvercoat. This track in particular, there’s a pace and a reflectiveness that I was trying to observe. Especially on ‘Reciprocal Capture’, and ‘Parting Phrase’, that long, droney organ track. Very different tracks, of course, but I think when I listen to this one, I can hear the attraction for me. It’s mainly that sense of reflection, that pace.
