Days Of Future Past

The history of mankind is liberally dotted with soothsayers, visionaries, men out of time.

Those such as Da Vinci, Newton, Einstein and Beckett. Those with the ability to think beyond the constraints of their existence, and in the process advance the progress of our humanity on Earth.

Now, there is another to add to that list – Like-A-Tim.

By creating tomorrow’s music at yesterday’s prices today, Like-A-Tim gives us a unique foresight into the music of the future, as it may have been conceived in 1959, as indeed we may conceive 1959. Today. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Like-A-Tim is a Dutch man.

These two imaginings from the dim and distant future are from I Like It When You Don’t Like It, which you can get from Like-A-Tim’s website, along with a bundle of downloads of more recent musings. He’s up to about 1963 at the moment. And here’s an interview in French.
