Impossible dream collaborations

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

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

Which all string quartets who play 20th and 21st century music have to “accept” and do.
