Blinded me with science

Dearest Spinner folk

Jamie offered guidance to the selection of songs relating to science.

It was as follows. 

For those who need more definition I'll suggest the following;
Science is a fact-based belief system that seems to be functionally and accurately describing the world we're in - but we could always find out more.
I will also suggest that we avoid - Science Fiction and Space-based themes and maybe Meteorology (sorry Mark but songs about the weather are another theme).

We should be concentrating on Physics, Paleontology, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, etc.

I have loosely followed this with a "can I justify connection to the brief with this".
Based a series of songs on states of matter and not the Hydraulophone seen below

Had fun - scoot through - click if you feel inclined - enjoy the spinners search.

States  





Solid 

Icehouse - nothing to do - Flowers
Liked this one for 36 years now - a good innings.

Melting
Leftfield - Melt - Leftism 
Turn of the lights - pump up the the volume enjoy the electrocism. 
Melt was built from a selection of samples from 1980’s influenced jazz and ambient records reflecting our obsession to make Leftism a journey that defied contemporary views of what a dance album should sound like 



 

Liquid
The Doors - Under the waterfall - Stone inmaculate 
Ejoyed hearing this chilled mix for the first time  
Sounds contempory

Evaporation 
Baby bird - Steam Train - Bad shave 
Always get you. thinking 
Is that a suitcase in your hand?
Or just a black box that fell from the plane
That crashed when I met you?
Great keyboard riff

Gas
Ethyl methyl ether, or methoxyethane, is a colorless gas at room temperature, having a boiling point of 7.6ºC. Like dimethyl ether, it is fairly water soluble. Diethyl ether, or ethoxyethane, or just plain ether, is a colorless liquid at room temperature, having a boiling point of 34.6ºC.
Turin Brakes - Stone thrown - from Ether Song 

Guitar meander near end of track 


Ionisation
Hard to find ions irons will do
Monkey - March of the Iron Army - Journey to the west
Ahhh Piggsy

Plasma
The Plasmatics - Butcher baby - 
Complete with chainsaw enough said 



Energy 
They all require energy 
Spizzenergi aka Athletico Spizz 80 - New Species - Do a runner
Keeps with the theme and another long time listen
Peel Session
"New species are clean and fresh"
