Baker's Dozen

Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

Matt Resnicoff – The History Of Now

Another example of someone operating outside normal parameters. Matt’s actually a friend of mine. He was a journalist and he’s this crazy, wonderful, funny, neurotic guy and he made this record and when I listened to it, I had the same feeling I get when I listen to Trout Mask Replica. When you listen to anyone: Tom Waits, Devin Townsend or Led Zeppelin, you can hear the influences, but when you listen to The History Of Now you are hearing something that is truly unique, I think.

Selected in other Baker’s Dozens: Lord Spikeheart, Tom Ravenscroft
