If you could wake up to find an album released by musicians who were alive and making music at the same time who would it be? I would go for Andy Partridge of XTC and Paddy McAloon of Prefab Sprout. Produced by Todd Rundgren of course.
Autechre and Kronos Quartet. I think Sean mentioned it in an AMA one time. Though he said they’d have to accept not playing their instruments in the regular bow-on-string way haha
Guitar and composer 1: Gustavo Santoalalla, beats DJ Krush, David Holmes composer and performer 2, Sevdaliza and Beth Gibbons vocals, bass : Victor L Wooten, keys: Nihls Frahm Moritz von Oswald and Mark Ernestus mixing and mastering and somewhere in between: me!
Bjork and Jaga Jazzist
Kraftwerk, herbie Hancock, prince, Roger troutman and bootsy collins
Prinzhorn Dance School and Kraftwerk.
I watched a Drink Champs interview with Marley Marl and he said that although at first he thought this group were mocking Hip Hop and the culture, he later wished he’d produced an lp with the Beastie Boys.
my most desperate wish is to hear rob halford sing russian roulette by rihanna. preferably closer to the original version than a metalised cover. riri’s timbre and cadence in that song matches rob’s perfectly, it would be guaranteed magic.
otherwise, collab between ancient methods and autechre. not impossible (i know they really really like each other’s work) but somehow the collab seems very unlikely. another one is ancient methods x summoning collab. could be a disaster, could be inspired.
Ooh how fun
Ryuichi Sakamoto
Scritti Politti
Jeff Lorber Fusion (early 80s lineup)
Produced by David Frank of The System
and fuck it…David Sylvian on vocals
Keith Jarrett Squarepusher Trent Reznor

Kate Bush and Aphex Twin. I recall Richard’s dad also thought it would be a good idea, I reckon he was right.
Debbie Gibson and GG Allin.
Mars Volta + Jon Theodore
Squarepusher
Mixmaster Mike
Kool Keith
Which all string quartets who play 20th and 21st century music have to “accept” and do.
Old Dirty Bastard and Nirvana singing that “rape me” tune.
Kraftwerk and Parliament-Funkadelic, in an elevator.
