10cds of Coltrane in '62 with the original classic Quartet live in various parts of Europe including several Scandinavaian, French and Italian venues, noticeably not the UK who had apparently not given him th ebest reception presumably the year before. I got this in FOPP for £15, was kicking myself on leaving London last year for not grabbing either this or the previous year box set. '61 has Eric Dolphy alongside the Quartet. Wondering if this could possibly be the same copy I didn't grab, hope that isn't likely. Particularly with every other mainstream record shop in town closing.
Has long improvisatory work outs on several tracks from popular musicals as well as his own compositions. I hear this stuff as very influential on later psychedelic jamming.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/cf566e37dc6929d1050788e1d81a2a0d/2729505
this lot particularly picked up on the work of Coltrane. They did a long version of his India live.
This is their 2nd lp which it has taken me way way too long to pick up. I had heard that it was less psychedelic and more country rockish. On actually getting it I can hear country flavour in it but it's a lot more floaty and psychedelic.
I think I now have pretty much everything this group has recorded in either of its better known incarnatiions, also have the Habibiya lp which was cut by part of the band alongside Susan Graubard Archuletta who had been in the New Age alongside pat kilroy, habibiyya has her with her then husband Conrad. Don't have anything by Ace which was the band Bam King later went onto or the Reg king solo lp. May look into getting some of what the other members went onto. Chilli Willi & The Red Hot Chilli Peppers sounds interesting.
I got this lp in its extended form as part of the new box set of their complete recordings At a Point Between Fate and Destiny which came out on Grapefruit (through Cherry red) just before Xmas. Great set which seems to be pretty good throughout including the unreleased, unfinished lp though Glastonbury sounds a bit disorganised.
Got the Action box set for Xmas the year before from the same person. Have loved them since hearing the Edsel compilation The Ultimate when I was like 14. that covers their mod blue-eyed soul era through to the beginnings of their psychedelic era. Didn't go as far as the Brain/Rolled Gold material which I think was unknown at the time. It had been the first time they'd really been compiled though.

psychedelic ish stuff I picked up in Rough Trade over Xmas.
Enjoying this, just realised that the male voice doing a talkover in one opf the tracks is ex-Can member Malcolm Mooney.
NIce melange of influences on here. I think I need to investigate her further.

Quick turnover isnce I'm working through the cds I picked up over Xmas
//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/d28eb45d3abaaf9ac6f8d3064cddf350/1508572
NOt sure I was aware of the existence of this before coming across it in Sister ray over Xmas. '73 funk live from the Stax festival in Watts LA. I finally got to see the film a couple of years ago. Can't think offhand what of this was in that.
Band's pretty good live , lots of wah wah and stuff.
NOt sure how the live lp from the time compares to this think this is pretty great anyway. Came out in 2003 apparently.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/a065a80c9f1458f11a6d519c0eeaa7a7/7830449
most recent lp by the free jazz rock band led by Weasel Walter, bought from thei rmerch stall at the LOndon gig before Xmas.
Wire review says they took the sound of electric Miles and gave it their own twist. I hear echoes of the sound of Miles around Dark Magus though there's no trumpet.
Nice psychedelic noisy stuff.
Very glad i got to the gig and now need to investigate the back catyalogue more thoroughly and whatver other Weasel Walter projects.

working my way through the box set.
This time was the disc of rehearsals for the 2nd lp, Jug Of Love. It's a bit earlier and mainly instrumental.
This and Glastonbury may be the least essential discs on here.

Stevolende, Sunday, 5 January 2020 10:58 (four years ago) link

For some reason Jug of Love never really hooked me, I'll have to try again sometime. Love the s/t.

I need to pick up more of the recent 3EB remasters. The s/t one was good at least.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/1b61316b972e587f502088be602f8ccd/1252664
the Animal label lp, a bit weird possibly a slight swing away from the previous couple in the oddness direction.
Has some good stuff on it.
BUt maybe isn't the best thing to put on in musically conservative company. Or at least has its quikiness written large so not likely to grab the floating voter. possibly.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/1710c00ef0f186afca344eaa001b6ba1/1942184
1973 lp by soul/whatever artist . I got this as part of a 5cd box in whatever series the label does.
Pretty good funky experimental stuff. Starts with him conducting an orchestral piece and goes into some more spacey stuff.
Need to listen through the rest of teh box which i think is pretty much most of his catalogue.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/78ffe71cec83fb508e89fef3dde8c02f/1650797
earlyish lp from him, from '72.
Great psychedelic tranced out jams as with most of his stufff.
This came with a couple of extra tracks from an unreleased single which sounds like he's less along the route to developing Afrobeat.
I still need to hear the 60s stuff like the Koolo Loobitos recordings, but assume they must sound more like the extra stuff here.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/3c65bbb2871530e061d4de7b5054fa16/1282356
THe first of his lps to get the long awaited remaster. Psychedelic pop funk. Quite salacious in places.
Need to pick up 1999 which was about the first lp by him i was aware of.
Quite enjoying this, came with a cd of various outtakes etc which has some interesting contemporaneous stuff on.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/403cccad1b99150c5234a0a27654358f/1867147
picked this up in the wake of reading the book on Anadolu Psych which made it out to be not as good as the 1976 lp and the 1979 one not as good as it. I need to pick up those other 2 lps. & stuff by a few other artists who sound somewhat similar.
Do like this stuff mid 70s Turkish blending traditional sounds with elements of Western rock of the psych kind.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/f088da78abd87a873b68626a45376749/7012920
a band I'm not very familiar with, blends a number of different genres into its alternative rock. I'm hearing bits of psych, possibly no wave, world, The Minutemen and a few other bits and pieces and this lp was produced by a dance producer.
Another band I need to pick up more things by.
Recommended, but probably find that I'm the last person to the feast, so you already know that.

https://www.sunburnsout.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/the-prefects-going-through-the-motions.jpg
Compilation of Birmingham punk band the Prefects recordings. I think a lot of this was unreleased at the time but has been released previoulsy on other compilations of the band. Looking for the image for this I found taht there was an existing compilation from about 15 years ago with the same tracks in a different order.
The band went on to be The Nightingales, I think the lineup was similar at least initially. Nightingales went onto being peel favs for years.
Pretty rough stuff but I think trying to break away from identikit punk even at the time.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/42cbcce6349f00b7a4c63a8d9c582502/7336471
compiles pretty much everything by postpunk band featuring future Ant Marco Pirroni on guitar and ex-original Ant Dorothy Max prior on drums alongside several people who were better known later as the Wolfgang Press and Renegade Soundwave.
A band I wasn't really aware of until recently. I did think Big Black's take on their track Rema rema was pretty great when I heard it on Sound of Impact but knew nothing about the original. Not sure why I never looked into that tends to be the way I find out about other bits of music I get heavily into.
POstpunk, noisy, a bit psychedelic though very dark..

Stevolende, Sunday, 12 January 2020 11:23 (four years ago) link

Love that Rema-Rema comp! I only had the Wheel In The Roses EP as mp3s for a long time so I was pleasantly surprised more existed.

3 lps on 2cd by Joe Harriott who I have had recommended to me for ages. Love his Hum Dono which I picked up a couple of years ago.
This is modern but not very abstract. Well at least the first disc which s what I'm listening to here. MIght be different on the lp of the same name.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/04f4e31271b08e37d11cb17e19ab66e9/6505455
this comes with a free 2nd cd of early country artists called Rough Guide to Country Music Pioneers which is what I'm actually listening to this week. Pretty great stuff i think I need more by several artists on .
THe sound is pretty decent considering the vintage.
Bought this as an Xmas present for someone then found something else for them later in the trip. Keep expanding the country they're listening to after having been introduced to them being a Johnny cash fan. Seems like they got a good overlap with a lotof this stuff in being bought the compilation cd tied in with the Ken Burns series anyway. & they wound up with the Richard & Linda THompson Live '75 set instead which I wasn't aware was still around.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/745ce364f0cfda6e30a2fcb1ffa6a703/3782061
THe original lp plus about the same duration again of bojus material. Mops up most of their recordings.
I hadn't realised that Sean Byrne wwas the main songwriter as well as rhythm guitarist when I played Psychotic reaction to fulfill my irish origin music quote while doing a radio show a couple of years back. Did know he came from Dublin originally.
Finding the music slightly more complex in places than i might have expected. & they seem to be more Who fixated than most other uS bands of the time there are 2 direct covers from the My Generation lp on the actual lp and a few that sound like they're would bes.THough its the Yardbirds taht are always cited as the influence on the title track.
The bonus stuff gets a bit more diverse including more soul derived stuff and psychedelic pop and stuff.
Do like this band . Shame to ghear that Sean Byrne spent the last years of his life in bad financial straits.
I'm still interested in finding out what of the garage psych lps are actually necessary since I have a number of compilations taht aren't the straight released lps.

I bought a 4CD Proper box by Joe Harriott not long ago but haven't gotten around to it.

Currently listening to Grand Funk Railroad, Live: The 1971 Tour, which has to be played at abusively loud volume to really be appreciated. I fucking love it.

I've been on a calypso kick this week. Looked up info on Mighty Sparrow's "Robbery with a V", discovered that it was indeed a dis track aimed at another musician, that musician being called Mighty Dougla. youtube comments on dougla's songs are all from his relatives looking up his music.

the 2cd remaster of this, I think I've mainly been half asleep when I've heard this version and had it on pretty quiet but these remasters seem to sound pretty great.
Keep wondering if Neubauten were fans of thsi record as well as early pink Floyd. Need to look up the Maoist perpetual village.
Anyway deep sace funky rocky stuff with ambient touches in places. Great great stuff.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/2c90f036eb7bbd0924b24d870f50edf9/4614811
2nd lp by great mancunian band. Showing some prog roots but helping invent post-punk. NOt sure what direct influence they had but would like to find out if anything showing their influence was as inventive as them.
Barry Adamson went onto various incarjnations of teh Bad Seeds and his own solo stuff is great.
John McGeoch went onto the Banshees and then a later, quite good version of P.I.L. in the late 80s. Shame he died so young.
I found this at the bottom of a pile fo stuff while tidying up last year still in th package it came in. Which is a major oversight. Should be way more familiar with the band.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/c8f4b784231366f1b83ea8b554d81ebc/2293568
focus more on the backing band than their main singer. THough he does feature.
I think I'm hearing things I'm more used to being Public Enemy samples featuring prominently.
Great set but I think I need to check chronology of things I'm hearing.
Picked this up from Honest John's recently and should have been much longer ago. Do love a bitta JB.

pretty necessary contemporary garage psych rock with some pretty frantic guitar.
Mike Stax of Ugly Things appears on backing vocals . He has a Bo Diddley tribute band with the guitarist, or did.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/adc2134bb192cf605c99a239768c0508/7121896
so faqr have listened through the 2nd disc the one that's All Of Us and contemporary singles and outtakes.
Glad to find this isn't the mono/stereo set taht i thought it was for a while cos I don't rally want to listen to the same lp twice in a row.
About time i got the 60s stuff in full have enjoyed this band for a few decades.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/c09eb1f007f1875f2c61dfce714ff67a/1245586
I hadn't heard this before today and possibly only picked it up to complete the set of lps.
It's pretty interesting though. Different to Daevid Allen era anyway. Atmospheric mainly instrumental material.
Wort6h hearing, but I think the 2cds may be limited editions so may be necessary to grab them soon if you want one.

Scandinavian droneadelia , lovely. I assume the first side of the record was short songs and the 2nd side is 2 long ones. Pretty good throughout . & about time i had a physical copy of this. Since I've had the lps either side by the related combos for the last couple of decades.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/02958c11ac4e24d7f92780cd9968205d/7693136
do think this is pretty phenomally good. Interesting mix of pop-garage like a remains/Cryan Shames, a bit of MC5 and probably a bit of the Ramones alongside the snarling frenetic guitar which i think the band should be famous for.
Have been wanting something by this bunch for ages. So glad to get this. I think there was a cd of the previous lp so will try to get hold of that.
THink its inventive enough and energetic enough to stand on its own so would recommend it to people who like anything in that area.

Terry Allen and the Panhandle Mystery Band - Just Like Moby Dick

First favourite record of 2020.

Ngolo Cantwell (Chinaski), Saturday, 25 January 2020 21:37 (four years ago) link

One of my neighbors who produces avant garde theater recently threw out a bunch of promos from a Dutch hip-hop label called Off Da Dome Wreckords, a number of which are apparently soundtracks from musicals by a theater company called Made In Da Shade. A bunch of different vocalists and lyricists are featured, but it sounds like the same group of people produced most of this stuff.

It's alternative hip-hop and some vaguely R&B songs, mostly in English but occasionally in Dutch, all pretty DIY and all very Y2K. There's an interesting mix of live instrumentation, including acoustic drums, loops and homegrown samples. But the most surprising element is the guitar textures, with a number of tracks featuring prominent use of the Digitech Space Station pedal- a multi-fx from the late 90's with novelty 'alien' presets and a synth string pad sound that's mostly associated with shoegaze bands (think Slowdive's 'Souvlaki Space Station').

My favorite so far is the soundtrack to a musical called V.O.O.D.O. but one of the other releases came in a numbered, screen printed LP sleeve and contained a splatter painting on cardboard, but no LP. Instead, there was a label sampler CD inside.

I slept on this one for a long time, it was the last proper Earth album lacking in my collection. I know it's always been sort of the outlier, but as a big stoner rock guy I can dig it. One of my favorite Hendrix covers and I usually really don't like Hendrix covers.

great hillbilly blues stuff. I think he was another artist taht learnt from a black source or rather had a black mentor. & then went off and had his own apparently original take on things but it definitely sounds like structure is similar to blues recordings i know from the time. Recordings are from late 20s.
Also sounds like this echoes in material I know from the 60s. I think I first heard about him in the words of a Gun Club article from around 1983. Whoever wrote that seemed to fill about half the article with names of blues and hillbilly artists that I always meant to track down and only picked up a handfull of.
Also I picked up the Rough Guide to JImmie Rodgers over Xmas which came with a bonus disc of early country stuff including a track by Hutchison that was pretty haunting.
Anyway good stuff, I missed this when it was widely available but found a good price on Discogs. THink it was close to current list when other prices were rising though.

Rocksteady artist. I think I knew his work mainly in terms of covers by the 2 tone era artists. I know a couple of Specials and a Beat here at least.
Set is also interesting because of some of the work he covers here. The Stones' Salt of The Earth, Donovan's There Is A Mountain, a few country things and the Beatles' Come Together.
NIce compilation anyway. I was thinking the current Trojan Best ofs were repackagings of the Sanctuary era Trojan 2cds but this doesn't seem to be tracklisted chronologically which those did seem to be.
Good stuff though.

latest cover mounted cd from Greek psychedelic fanzine. Not consciously taken in the contents though. THink i've been nodding off as the disc before on my 3changer has been playing since I normally play this in bed.
Have heard some heavy fuzzy distortion and shoegazey tunefulness though. Must hear.

THis arrived yesterday so I haven't really had a chance to hear it. Only found out about its existence over Xmas and had been wondering what exactly had been being played down at the club this partially represents. Wish I d got down there a lot more in the late 80s I think it coincided with the time i started hitching widely so both this club and the Son Of redneck country place behind Selfridges became things i was only at a few times instead of absolutely regularly.
Did love the sounds though.
& thought it a great coincidence taht when i went out looking for some decent music while having a pint yesterday I chanced on somebody djing some stuff that overlapped with this.

Found out about this over Xmas, either didn't hear about it when it was easily available or have forgotten about it. BUt must have been reminded of Gilles Petterson or Eddie Pillar or something over the holiday. this has some stuff i think I remember from the time. certainly rings a bell.
May possibly have a photo of me at teh back of a crowd too. Did love that club and wish I'd been going down there longer than I was. Think it must have coincided with my starting hitching around the UK to see bands. Same is true of Son of Redneck the early-country club behind Selfridges of the same era. Loved both of them when i got the chance to go there.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/1ad1b5009e776627e40e38ea11d5e3a8/6103341
2cd compi of a lot of mainly late 60s early 70s material by Hag. Great stuff, the type of material Gram parsons seriously recommended.
Pretty mellow sounding great not countrypolitan stuff. Noice
So far its been disc 1 ,may have to swap over to disc 2 soon.

I think the live stuff from around teh time gets a lot closer to that FE review.
NOt sure what is available by them . Was there a box set released over the last couple of years?

Marble Sheep the band lead by one time White Heaven guitarist Ken Matsutaini is also really worth checking out.

as is the band Silence which is related to the Japanese band Ghost who are themselves quite awesome.

Latest Mojo magazine cover mounted. NIce heavy rocky soul grooves. Covers the usual subjects Funkadelic, betty davis and has Doriella Du Fontiane by Lightnin Rod and Jimi hendrix in a convenient place.
I think it ties in well with their heavy Nuggets sets.
It also now goes up to current day with a couple of artists. Seems to be a good way to spend 70 odd minutes.

Traditional folk instrumental stuff played by a harpist who I saw live a coupl eof weeks ago alongside a violinist who I haven't. Quite nice stuff.
There was a harp concert as part of a series of performances at a local University recentlyy that I bought thsi from.
Was interesting to see the variations of style between teh 3 harpists as they played a unison piece. The way that their hands moved playing the same notes and rhythms differed greatly.

Debut lp by prog band. Style hasn't fully coalesced yet. But not sure if it ever did stay static anyway.
BUt this i sa good start.
I heard somewhere that tracks from this and possibly the next lp had started appearing in dj playlists at mod discos a decade and a bit ago and found it intriguing. Roots of the band were in teh soul revue Simon Dupree and the Big Sound so there is possibly some foundation for doing that. But it has been decades isnce i was really at mod discos .

Yeah I'd recommend Electric Cool Acid - live and louder versions of Out tracks but some of it is still in that G500 or Dream Syndicate vibe. I think the only thing available rn is the Out LP reissue, no box set that I know of (maybe you're thinking of the Overhang Party box?).

I don't really know the later WH stuff but there was a follow up band called The Stars that was even more alt-rocky but had some decent tunes.

I was thinking I'd heard the original pressing of that Linda Perhacs wasn't very good.
I think I picked up the 2nd reissue cd after there had been a needledrop semi legit release sometime around the turn of the millenium.
Think that may have prompted Perhacs herself to turn up with her version of the master or as close to that as he got and I think that was the source for the copy i have which also had a few more tracks not on the original vinyl.
Also think Perhacs had been a dental secretary for the interim years but was prompted back into performing by hearing the response to the reissue of the lp.

Watched a new ZZ Top documentary on Netflix, which was very entertaining in some aspects (learned a lot about their early days, some great footage of them playing together in an empty rehearsal studio in the present day) but also quite disappointing in that it glossed over a lot of stuff and basically ended in 1983, after Eliminator came out. This album, which I think is one of their best (weirdo psychedelic country boogie, very little hard blues-rock), was totally omitted, so I decided to listen to it.

Not sure if I'd taken in that this was a Bob Stanley cocompiled set. It's been sitting on a shelf here for a while.
Read BS mention it in his column in Record Collector this month so dug it out.Got some pretty sublime stuff on it.
1st disc which is the one I've been playing so far starts with a cover of Universal Soldier which is pretty liberal.
He has a great voice and the arrangements are pretty good

Andaolu Psych band from Turkey. Mixes very traditional sounding folk stuff with western influences. Does get pretty psychy in places.
I'm not 100% sure of teh sources for all of these tracks.

My favorite quarantine exercise track is Todd Terje's reworking of an old Norwegian post-punk track "Maskindans", and that led me to my favorite indulgence: old cold wave / indie new wave and I found this mix of stuff from Norway! It has the original "Maskindans" on it.

Spiritual jazz with gospel type choir on several tracks. Lead off track The Rain is quite awesome, almost literally.
Some shared qualities with Sun Ra especially when he had backing singers .
Cover looks like a tribute to I Am Legend, though looks like they picked vampires over NRA spokesman

Previously unreleased lp by collegiate psychedelic band. Melodic, a bit trippy and really quite good.
Bandname was never going to be very memorable to most people. It's the designation of the Sombrero Galaxy a spiral galaxy discovered in 1781. Stellar but probably not th ebest idea for a bandname, too anonymous. THough MC5 seems to work fine, maybe its just shorter and more compact.

Compilation of later Ochs, starting in around 67 so a bit after the more direct protest stuff. THink he's got a bit consciously eclectic.
Interesting melange of influences and semi philosophical work. Nowhere near as other as dylan I don't think.
Still some odd choices, though maybe that's what makes it work. Outside of A Small Circle of Friends' having this really comic take on old timey music behind the stories it tells & a few things like taht.
Not sure what to make of his voice which is really mellifluous.
Also chronology of tunes chosen seems a bit weird State of Richard Nixon is tuck in th emiddle of the tracks from Rehearsals For retirement his 1969 lp. Possibly wanted to make sure it was on disc1 for some reason of prestige? sure messes up the chronology though.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/fc7cb370b3bc5b320f4e889825e5b00c/1554561
Archie Shepp the lp that gave its name to a subgenre though it's nowhere near as hard as that might suggest.
Great stuff anyway. I need to hear the MC5 Ice Pick Slim take on lead off track Hambone, been meaning to look that up cos I haven't listened to it in years.
Also has Shepp's take on Girl From Ipanema and the spoken word over jazz of Malcolm Malcolm Semper Malcolm which is cool, a bit other, like.

Early 70s NJ hard rockers. I was just realising how murky this cd I have which I though was a reissue was.

Noice. Fuzzed out electric saz stuff. Sounds enough like guitar that i coulds see it becoming an influence for some.
Noodlesome brilliance. yum.
I think Uzelli was a german based label catering to the immigrant population back when the Turks were the big immigrant workforce there.
This just came out a month or so ago. There's a companion volume of psych related stuff from the same label that I think I might look into getting. Also want to increase my other Anadolu Psych stuff. Shouldn't have put that off.

Has been the first disc of this so far . Sat unplayed on my shelf for way too long. I think I got this in Dublin in the late 90s.
I knew his material largely from other people covering him for years before buying this. His own versions are quite classic as tehy are, he was a great singer and a great songwriter.
I worked next to somebody who had direct contact with him in the late 60s when I was selling historic posters in Dublin.
Shame about his personal life.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/3e45c5aa767a551afcacf037ee229ccd/7977279
got this in a box set thing of 5 lps which I think I mainly picked up because i was grabbing things from a sale. & I think mainly put it in my 3 changer cos it was lying around in the vicinity & i needed a 3rd disc.
Really enjoying it. Think his solo stuff from the 50s and 60s seems to be pretty consistent.

Little known prog band i think. THink I payed £2 for this in Sister Ray a coupolke of years ago. Seems to have 3 songs each from each of the 3 lps. If tits as good as the material here i might have another look at the rest of their work.

James Brown produced lp by r'n'b organist , backed by James Brown band of the time.
I Think thi sis feircer than other stuff by him.
Also features a couple of tracks backed by some of Funkadelic

2cd best of late singer songwriter. I've been listening to the 2nd cd which starts in about 1979.
I think the first disc is a bit scratched which is a shame cos its got some great stuff on it.
might need to replace it.
THink I need some more stuff by him anyway.

Also xp but Jim O'Rourke seemed to refer to "Purple On Time" as being the best-recorded US Maple album (and their best album overall) and the truth is......... I have never listened to it, I remember when it came out all my friends were complaining that the LP pressing was shit shit shit and so I actually passed on that album as a whole, to my shame

I had to refer to the Discogs, uh, discog to refresh my memory when it came to checking that opinion of O'Rourke's, and the fourth one is Acre Thrills (w/ Brian Paulson at Pachyderm, where Albini recorded Rid Of Me and In Utero)--I remember liking but not loving Purple On Time at time of its release, which b/c I was used to U.S. Maple always blowing my mind which each succesive new album was a relative letdown

Electro Band featuring Arthur Baker. I think I picked this up really cheap from a sale in a local chain record shop several years ago.
Has some interesting bits on it including a cover of gary Glitter's I Didn't Know I Loved You .
& some emlodies and thgings.
I think it overstays its welcome quite a bit may be down to bonus material on the cd. BUt may just lose steam on the 2nd side.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/f0a9d01ddb1e6c0282092fbaf9f35f7c/7222638
Quite groovy 1971 guitar jazz lp.
I think I still need to pick up the resdt of his material from aroun dthis era.
Used to have Spaces on vinyl years ago.
Do have teh 2 free Spirits set.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/76db382a9bd43e8607c0d0ef479f82e4/1439801
first disc of this which is the s./t lp and a set called Sessions .
First lp is pretty sublime. Weird hearing how mellifluous a voice that deep can get.
Mix of folk, blues , jazz etc. & a backing band including a couple of Mothers and several other people probably better know nfor later work.
LOve that first lp anyway, somewhat forward looking for 1965

Finnish hard rock from 1973 with a really piercing guitar tone.
Pretty fantastic.
NOt sure what has picked up directly from this. Think it could be a handy influence.
Hadn't listened to this in way too long. Rockadrome reissued this about 7 years ago and i had bee hoping to get a copy for a while before taht.One of several great semi obscure hard rock/heavy lps from taht era that are pretty necessary.

Gal Costa's 3rd solo lp , not as out as the previous one Gal but pretty cool. Starts off pretty hard hitting goes a few other places including a cover of Caetano veloso's london , London recorded in solidarity with him being in exile at teh time.
I think Gal had a run of pretty great lps including the 2 before thas and the next couple including a live lp from late 71.

budo jeru, Friday, 22 May 2020 00:56 (three years ago) link

i used to have all those dead c albums on cd, can't believe i got rid of those

lately it's been fabric mixes -- surgeon, call super, midland

the surgeon mix is "not great" but idk it bangs, i like the vibe, it sounds like he doesn't care about proving anything anymore. sort of middling progressive techno with some half-tempo dubstep things with dodgy vocals thrown in there. i don't care, it bangs, great for a run.

call super mix is really quite brilliant though you can tell it's made by a "young ambitious artist" or w/e. extremely well executed though. deep stonery vibes.

midland mix sounds like boards of canada in places, i like it, it's good "tasteful" techno/house with a lot of variety, never got into it as deep as the ones above, though it has "city lights" on it which is z best.

Been listening to the 2nd disc of this which I think I'd heavily neglected. Think that runs from the turn of the 70s onwards. Still pretty great though all the tracks i'm familiar with through covers are on the 1st disc. Bland still has a great voice tyhough not noticing the extremes quite as much as on the earlier stuff. On that he veers from Sam Cooke smoothness to Howlin Wolf level of growl.
I think I'm noticing more growl here than smoothness but still pretty decent quality stuf with some interesting textures from instruments.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/460d90bb8103a7b102a01d71fde66b26/2175806
The actist blues trio live in the studio in front of a small audience in 1969. I think this was the same recording session that produced their jam on the Fugs recording of the levitating of the Pentagon which was released as a single at the time as out Demons Out.
This was finally released on cd back in 2004 as the full session. it rocks and grinds and fun things like that. Somewhat Beefheart Mirror Man-y and i assume Beefheart was a cited influence. Singer is really gruff sounding to the point of laryngitic in places.& they cover Dropout Boogie which they would later combine with the Shadows' Apache

Not really getting a sonic connection to why this sleeve seems to be aping a Brian Eno sleeve. Seems to be some great stuff on here anyway. May just tie in with the Talking Heads being the cover artists though does look more reminiscent of the Ambient Series and is called Music for Homes. Seems to be a mop up of the best stuff of the year
LOve thsi stuff would like to find some more rock of thsi type that I haven't come across before still.

Super (almost power-) poppy Jesus stuff with really cool production that almost sounds like a polished up Wray's Three Track Shack recording or something. Lots of mandolin, some fuzz, even a little backwards dubbing on one track. "Sweeter As The Days Roll By" rips off "My Sweet Lord" a little. Apparently he was Mary Ford's brother.

Have seen it's up on Bandcamp

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/f99c11608d4a494c214a80a73d941836/1395886
Still got the 2nd disc of this on my 3 charger . Put it on last week.
I think that takes Bland from around 1970 on wards.
Pretty great soul stuff. I think I've mainly concentrated on the 1st disc of this previously cos it has the songs i knew from mid 60s beat groups covers as well as the Grateful Dead.
But disc2 is pretty tasty too.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/ee021651445e8def6ee8da8203ed2a7e/5710754
Hillage's first solo lp backed by the post Daevid Allen Gong and Lindsay Cooper. Pretty much carries on the sound from the Flying Teapot trilogy. Pretty great, thought I'd finally grab a couple of his solo titles in the wake of reading Mike Barnes' A New Day Yesterday.

overdriven rock by Bristol psych band. Haven't really taken in which disc is which in this set. This one sounds like its got very low production levels, verite like.

Classic Chicago cosmic earthy stratafying:

https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a1610518778_16.jpg

As Peter Magarsak says in liner notes:
...the group injects something new and distinctive into every piece, including the opener “Orgasm,” an Alan Shorter tune from 1969 that Taylor first arranged for a 2018 project in Philadelphia, which toggles between groovy hypnosis and spacey yet tumultuous exploration. And group originals take their own directions from that gateway.

Ditto Jeff Parker's latest solo album

https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a0572868824_16.jpg

“I’m always looking for ways to be surprised,” says composer and multi-instrumentalist Jeff Parker as he explains the process, and the thinking, behind his new album, Suite for Max Brown, released via a new partnership between the Chicago–based label International Anthem and Nonesuch Records. “If I sit down at the piano or with my guitar, with staff paper and a pencil, I’m eventually going to fall into writing patterns, into things I already know. So, when I make music, that’s what I’m trying to get away from—the things that I know.”

Hi no lime, you might like this recent Smithsonian Folkways release, which I haven't heard yet---whole thing is on bandcamp:
https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a2806917993_10.jpg

These largely unheard tapes were recorded at Doc Watson’s two earliest concerts, presented in New York City’s Greenwich Village in 1962. Those shows were among the rare appearances Doc’s father-in-law, fiddler Gaither Carlton, made outside of North Carolina. The instrumental pieces, including Gaither’s signature tune “Double File,” include intricate musical interactions developed through years of family music-making. On the songs and ballads, Doc’s instantly recognizable baritone voice is accompanied by his own guitar and Gaither’s fiddle, or by the traditional combination of fiddle and banjo.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/353bf30f94adce2c30dc9615cd6f67ee/1458878
Been meaning to get this for a while. It's a canadian heavy rock lp from 1970 based on some of the folk musics from the bands' parents Eastern European roots. It touches on math rock in places, really intricate intersecting lines and things.
Not sure it's what you'd expect from the time. & really weird gruff vocals that might pass for an ersatz beefheart which I assume are humourous.in intention.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/d847b6de06753c78ddf3c746a84b9b38/5699874
compilation of singles and things by Turkish pop singer.
Has some really nice touches in guitar parts and stinging synth but may be a bit close to MOR.
Quite catchy though.
THis was one of a bunch of titles I've been meaning to pick up from Guerssen for a while. Finally ordered them when the shop could actually ship stuff after having been cut off for a while and they took forever to get across Europe. BUt I have them now.

dow, Tuesday, 23 June 2020 16:43 (three years ago) link

xpost: i'd be inclined to say a closer analogue would be steeleye span, rather that fairport convention. that's their 4th album & 3rd self-titled where they start embracing prog elements to a greater extent (earlier ones i've heard being more in the trad &/or folk-rock vein) though still retaining the folk base. yet to hear their later releases, but i believe they get even more proggy from there on out.

Is this more of a Pop lp than its immediate predecessor? Certianly seems a bit more upbeat and not quite as broodingly menacing.
I think this may be more about the riff too. Blooming great anyway. & Turn Blue has always stuck in my mind. Great existential angst feature,
Haven't listened to the live cd of either of these remasters yet. & haven't heard TV Eye lp in a few decades.
These studio lps do both sound quit egood right now. I think I was noticing more details in The Idiot though.

Charlie Haden solo project. I thought this had more chanting on but great lp reworking some folk themes etc
Several great New Thing horn players involved.

Yeah, I posted the cover and info on Rolling Reissues, meant to check it out. Thanks for the reminder.

(listing these artists in the order on album cover and credits below, though it's damu's page)(also because he has a stupid name)
Archie Shepp, Raw Poetic Damu The Fudgemunk---Ocean Bridges: good title for extended fluid grooves (Wurlitzer piano and vibes, framing and framed by selective guitar, tenacious bass, chop-and-roll drums, cut across by soprano and tenor sax, a little turntablism, and Raw Poetic's tuneful radio flow, switching back and forth from singing to rapping, sometimes syllable-to-syllable) between shorter, smaller-group, more down to earth exchanges (but still speculative and sometimes maybe splicey, slightly like riffling a deck of cards)("Professor Shepp's Agenda 1" is spoken, but brief and apt; the other 6 shorties are instrumental). Overall, it's pretty lengthy---the longest excursion, "Aperture," might be too diffuse---but I soon stopped thinking of taking a break; so far, it pulls me right through.
Hopeful, rueful, been around, ready for more, guess why they call it the blues.
released May 22, 2020

1973 live recordings by Sanders and a few others, includes one studio track.
Great show of ensemble playing.
I got the copy before teh Universal Sound 2013 version so am I missing anything. That came with a hardcover described asa book so I'm wondering if it had much in the way of contents or if it was just the hard gatefold format.
THis sounds great but has little in the way of linernotes beyond the personnel.

Great jazz vocalist with some things verging on the free but overall rooted in something more traditional. She covers the Mongo Santamaria title track and a few other standards including Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head.
I've been waiting for a while to get a copy of this. but Mr Bongo put out a cheap reissue about a month ago. Very nice.

Agree about this, you hear a lot of being fucked up in songs. Sobering up and how someone experiences life onwards is something i have never heard someone describe so recognizably, in a simple everyday life way. I love Isbell for that.

Still haven't heard the original album, or Jamie xx's reworking, but the unmistakable sound and sensibility of classic Gil come through: sharp, reflective glints in the dark, rough-edged a fluid, lyrical and realist, searching and on point, thematic and grooving---jazzwise, yet "blues is a feeling" the overall. Only thing is, some of the originals are really short, like down to 37 seconds: golden kernals of potential and realization---McCraven is def. not showboating, but I wish he extended these--maybe he was required to stick to the original track times? I'd like a bit more---Laswell redoing Marley and Miles? Anyway, it's all good, though faves are mostly because they have longer to make an impression: "New York is Killing Me," "I'll Take Care of You," "Me and the Devil"--yes, Scott-Heron and Robert Johnson and Mr. D. on the Greyhoud, seems natural. Speaking voice is worn but clear, singing voice not that different from 70s.

psychedelic guitar workk outs like a cleaner version of the ballroom sound by Dave Aklvin of the Blasters and friends from Camper Van Beethoven and places.
I think it's quite effective. NIce versions of Fred Neil's Dolphins the 13FE's Reverberation and Morning Dew which I think may owe quite a bit to the Dead, though haven't listened to their first lp in ages. certainly hasa couple of bits on it that sound like Garcia guitar phrasing.
Starts with a cover of Alice Coltrane's Journey in Sachidananda which is nice and my version has 3 takes on the Paul Butterfield band's East West which i think are about 17 minutes each.I think the lp version and the first bonus track sound a bit different so wonder if mix refers to the same take or not.
Also not really heard if this is a one off or a continual project, will be interesting to hear what this develops into if they stick with it.

Quit enjoyable but pretty short at about 36 minutes.

I liked the Marsette watts, though I got it because Sonny Sharrock's on it, but before he knew how to do as much as he did later---no slide, for one big thing. Still, he's a good team player in the land of the free jazz.
Didn't know about Third Mind bonus tracks! Stevo, you might like some of the other xpost2020 adds to his bandcamp, maybe especially Songs From An Old Guitar, which can be a lot more electric than the title suggests.

Correction! I should have magnified the Watts cover--what I've got, with Sharrock, is his first album, on ESP. As it says here:
Watts decided to focus on music in 1965 and, after a studying for awhile in Denmark, recorded Marzette Watts And Company for ESP-Disk' in December 1966. This first album came together under the supervision of Clifford Thornton and also featured Byard Lancaster and Sonny Sharrock. After more time in Europe, The Marzette Watts Ensemble was recorded in 1969. Produced by Bill Dixon for Savoy, it turned out to be the saxophonist’s final release. That's from a previously unpublished interview, lots of historical detail:

Sudanese guitar player playing music taht sounds like an earlier version of the Ethiopiques sound. A cross between indigenous traditional sounds and Western pop.

It's good! By nature, it's a bit of a mess, but intriguingly so. It's doing interesting things with instrumentation above and beyond the folk roots it's launching from - sax squalls, gamelan. It reminds me of Third Ear Band in places, bits of Reich, Harold Budd, Marion Brown.

really enjoying this, Terje Rypdal , Jan garbarek and a rhythm section they seemed to use a bit at the time in the shape of Arild Andersen
bass and Jon Christensen drums.
Veers between free jazz and rock and roll. Does it pretty well.
THink I may need to pick up some more titles with these 4 .
THis was reissued on Flying Dutchman a couple of years after its initial release and got reissued in that sleeve a few years ago. Found it pretty cheap online.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/58bb2f25ddc079d6e0bd3100b87e23a6/8386759
Finally, a live album representing a shortened complete set by this lot. I'm not sure how much it would show it bieng the notorious show it was if the legend didn't proceed it. Not sure how completely Dave Alexander throws things even on Loose and how much the audience would have picked up on onstage problems
Would be good to get a more functional more representative live set but soudns like the band had been having trouble with Alexander before this. I'm also remembering taht management had limited the amount of times the band played locally in the Michigan area to prevent teh audience becoming overfamiliar with teh band's material early on or something to that effect. So do wonder if there was such a thing a s a perfectly played gig anyway.
THis scorches in places. Asheton brothers are indeed on fire throughout.
I'm still intrigued as to what else was in the box of recordings from the festival and if any of that stuff is good enough for release.
Anyway, loving this.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/a8342a9ed441ef58ca130dbbb15b5f4c/8159756
Liked this so much I kept it on the 3 changer for another week.
Sounds like an early version of the sound on the 70s Ethiopiques lps i assume Sudan and Ethiopia must have some overlap in musical tradition they are pretty close geographically. THis mixed with some early 60s r'n'r/etc influences.
I think this is really good. Would be interested in hearing garage etc picking up on this as an influence, much as I would have loved to hear some picking up on the garagier parts of Ethiopiques 14 years or whatever ago. Not really heard it emerge though. BUt might show a new direction for dealing with the influences .
Anyway great great set that I'd recommend deeply. Need more like this, or showing the same invention and reinvention at least.

The two keyboard Allman Brothers which featured Chuck Levell on piano gave the group a different sound. The mix really is not all that great, but the version of Elizabeth Reed on this LP is pretty cool as the electric piano and lack of a second electric guitar gives the tune quite a bit more space. I dare say it but really has a vibe not unlike ILM favorite "In a Silent Way". Worth checking out if interested in any of said parties.

Young's Lawrence of Newark is a trip too: he doesn't need a synthesizer, and neither do cellist Diedre Johnson nor saxophonist Dennis Mourouse (okay, DM does plug in sometimes). Also got Blood Ulmer, Pharoah Sanders, a lot of percussion but never too much. May have some abrupt endings early on, but hold onto your horsehead nebula for the homestretch/final third (it's only about 33 minutes, but action packed). He was as prolific as the other original Lifetimers, but this set is especially thread-relevant, boldness-wise.

MId 70s avant jazz stuff with a stream of semi melodic piano shifting in an dout of focus alongside a backing quintet.
Not quiite got my head wrapped around this yet.
Probably better if I wasn't listening to it on low volume as I was going to sleep or a little louder as wi Was waking up.
Maybe needs higher volume and concentrated immersion?
Anyway glad i finally got it.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/957ef901c322b56d20064573299a5256/8011252
outtakes etc from around the time of Y , got several alternative takes from the original lp plus Kiss The Book which turned up on the We Are Time set.
I love this band around the time of this first lp, some of my favourite sounds. Would love some more of it.
I'm a bit less into For How Much Longer though it is still pretty decent.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/a31b56ef0ec3db342653cdb68221ece8/8232998
Actually the live set taht came with teh remaster of The Idiot which is also represented here. Hadn't listened to either of teh live sets that came with the lps.
THis si about good enough, sound isn't perfect. It's abouot half Stooges and half songs from the lps including things Like Turn Blue.
Quite enjoyabloe I guess, not sure how often I'd bung it on if i wasn't conscious of having bought it and not listened to it.
Couldn't see a listing of musicians for the set, like he guitar a lot in places and the band is pretty solid.
So quite good I guess will see how frequently I revisit it though

Oh, the Grateful Dead album of that title---didn't recognize it broken up like that, and w Spanish---is mostly enjoyable, in a damn-thee-torpedoes-of-budget-and-all-other-limitations way---talking about the rediscovered, remastered 1969 original, though I didn't listen to the meant-to-be more normie, reportedly drastic early 70s overhaul; both are on or in the 50th Anniversary Edition.

That previously mentioned Workingman's Dead 50th Anniversary Edition turned out to be good too: no bonus studio tracks (though there are a set of rehearsals etc. on a sep., apparently digital-only release, The Angel's Share; intriguingly described by Stephen Thomas Erlewine in Pitchfork), but the remaster brings out a lot of detail I didn't recall at all, prob never heard on my old record player.

With respect and admiration to Alfred Jarry - who in the early nineteenth century invented the 'Pataphysics to solve various situations with “formidable imaginary solutions for all problems that do not exist but hurt and hurt and to challenge the holy traditions of easy operation”*-, Oxomaxoma has founded the Laboratory for the Sound Des-occultation of the ‘Patamusic (LDSP) to produce and generate all those imaginary sounds that are not intended to solve anything

Bettye LaVette, Blackbirds (2020): I think of her as a Method actress song stylist, from the inside out, prob never much about, "Oh, that's a sweet bit, think I'll sing it" as "Okay, this means something to me," and you can feel the push and pull and twist and turn of that, even if you'll never know all it means to her, in her life. The comeback has been largely via songs by old white rockers, but as customized, chopped 'n' channeled vehicles, getting moreso: her 2018 Dylan collection, Things Have Changed is fearless, overall her most radical yet, and I hate using the r-word, at least as modifier.
This set is all blues as a feeling, whether or not of the genre, written by or strongly associated by women, mostly if not all of color, with some jazz in there: all modern, as the band goes where she leads, though not passively: musos can sound like, "Yeah that's bad, but whattayagonna do, and look out for that hearse now." Incl. a stalking, shuffling, actually kinda fast, yet unmistakable "Strange Fruit," and even a happy one or two, if you count "Blues For Weepers," where she seems glad to be here, anywhere she can sing for the lonely souls, heads(sounds dark and smokey), or three, counting the likewise "Drinking Again," where she sociably rhymes about smokin, jokin' tokin', without sounding like Steve Miller or Charlie Daniels.
Near-title track is the one that gives pause so far, like a vocally-shredded pile of bloody feathers, which may go against the words, which she's tweaked to 'bout how she has indeed taken broken wings and learned to fly---or is more like, positive statement in harrowing sound representing what freer living has cost her?

Cover art maybe even better than usual lately--keep it coming yall.
Speaking of the Breadwinners, reminds me that UK jazz saxist Nat Birchall sometimes does dub w Al Breadwinner; most of this is pretty good, tagged as "old school" but fresh, some turns I hadn't encountered before (I'm certainly no dub expert):

And he did this Sun Ra homage,Mysticism in Sound, which also makes me think of Coltrane's "Alabama" era:
an album of nightsky blues solace, which I first heard after listening to a doc about black people shot by cops recently. Sun Ra inspired Space Jazz. Nat Birchall plays all the instruments - Tenor & soprano saxophone, bass clarinet, Korg Minilogue synth, bass, drums, hand drums, bells, shaker. These three and a lot more are on his bandcamp.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/94a1dbcc73a7041e3baaf2a11764b301/3388555

2nd disc of this, had forgotten t ended with one of the Ofo & The Black Company sides which is great in itself. Heavy, possibly not as much as Allah Wakbar but stiull pretty stunning.
I am struck by wondering how African sounding this stuff on the cd is. A lot of it is obviously very heavily influenced by mid 60s and a little later rock stuff and various funk and other r'n'b/soul and jazz stuff. I guess taht's why it was picked. & it does show some processing through a blender fo a different perspective from the usual but not sure how much directly African influence there is.
I've been lying i bed feeling ill for part of this week so been listening to the stuff on my 3 changer more and subsequently may have heard this cd like 3 times a day on a couple of days or so. Does about stand up to it. & i think I have been neglecting the disc.
Would like to know how many compis like this were done around the time and get more familiar with them.
Also would love to hear what bands since this was released claim direct influence from listening to this stuff.
I'm liking the hammond swathes and stuff, not liking not being able to put my finger on melodies I think I recognise. There'sd one i think comes from a Curtis Mayfield tune for on, though i think it takes off elsewhere shortly afterwards..

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/f088da78abd87a873b68626a45376749/7012920
This turned up at the time I was looking to stick a couple of new cds on my 3 changer and wasa semi random choice like the World Ends set was. It kind of fits and may have some influence from that kind of thing mixed into its influences. Certainly does seem to be taking some influences from some eclectic sources.
Augmentary instruments sound really good on here, keyboards and things.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/3dbe0728c50c0d68e46a9bcbebea3742/7448999
Kept this on for another week because i thought I hadn't been able to familiarise myself with it enough.
& i think its the cd taht I'm getting to hear least.
Am enjoying this and would like to familiarise myself with his work better. NOt sure I'm going to get the chance to get as familiar with everything i want to as much as I'd like to,.
BUt great anyway. Must learn to whistle it and so on.

I hadn't heard teh band really before picking this up at Xmas. Probably need to investigate much further.
& again this is something I've been neglecting too much.

xpost Richard Betts' Highway Call is very refreshing, with his signature sound, but not too much like an Allman Brothers Band album at all.

Stevolende, re the 70s African blends, you might like Orchestre Poly Rythmo de Colonou---Volume Two is my fave so far (haven't heard 'em all)---seems to be currently out-of-print or otherwise unavailable on vinyl (at least via US Amazon), but they've got the CD and MP3:

dow, Saturday, 19 September 2020 20:51 (three years ago) link

Think the original leader died, but at least some of the others got back together for later tours, may have recorded. It's all an African response to 70s availability of Black Diaspora sounds, esp via radio, incl. but not only from Radio Free Europe, BBC World Service, France, Italy etc, also as cassettes became more available, where records, turntables weren't as handy----also white music strongly influenced by those blends: these are African musicians w their own interest in all or some of that, responding to that of their audience (as CD booklets tell it).

Don't remember seeing this thread before the past week; it's gotten me looking around---a bunch of skeevey-looking CDs still on Amazon (several of which I bought quite a few years ago), but also, discovered that they now have a nicely-priced legit-looking Decals (ditto several others that I already have), also I'm Goning To Do... on mp3 (and a bunch of other Rhino Handmades likewise, incl. Television's Live at the Old Waldorf and that monster Fugs box). Grow Fins mp3 is $49.49, much less than even the used CD edition on there.
I've just finished first listen to Albums That Never Were's version of It Comes To You In A Plain Brown Wrapper---great work-outs, although I could live w/o this long-ass version of "25th Century Quaker," but so many hooks: "Kandy Korrrn, Beee reeeborn"---different from (though utilizing) the Sundazed, and, as always, he tells you exactly what and why and how he used which materials---sound is crisp, well-defined without getting anal about it (I listened to the flac; also offers mp3s: 2 "discs," 45 minutes each):

Late 70s garage prog? Anyway pretty hard prog based music made on low budget in the late 70s.
Pretty corrosive use of melotron.
This came out a few years ago I think unearthed from the unreleased tapes, its on the label that put out Brown Acid

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/e02b901f7104c4478a31fbdda3da291e/2200499
early 70s reggae or possibly still rocksteady in places. Here compiled by Sanctuary era Trojan.
I;ve been listening to the 2nd disc here which has some really great stuff by Scratch and he Upsetters among others.
I think I need to make sure I've got the Upsetters early 70s stuff compiled they had a great groove.
1st disc has several early Bob Marley tracks on.
Anyway loved the Sanctuary era Trojan 2cds that this is one of . The ones i got seemed to be comp;iled by people who knew the music really well and were packaged pretty good. Not sure if i totally love teh foldout booklet though.
But otherwise exemplary.

can't find a separate image for the Uncut covermount cd for the moment.
Which has some ok stuff on it. Including a track from Songhoy blues new one.

"All The Way Down" is from Etta James(1973), the one before Come a Little Closer, with same producer. I really like that track too, and several others on there, especially "God's Song"---wish she'd done a whole album of Randy Newman, but here we also get "Sail Away" and "You Can Leave Your Hat On" ("Let's Burn Down The Cornfield" on Come A Little Closer). Haven't heard the s/t in a while---don't have a working turntable---but I used to play the hell out of it.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxpost Stevolende, you were asking about American bands w African influence, I think? 75 Dollar Bill guitarist has some of that, has studied African music.

Also, from my ancient Columbus OH show previews:

Toubab Krewe
3/17 @ Newport
North Carolina’s Toubab Krewe combine rock and African approaches. Nowadays they’re automatically associated with Vampire Weekend, but the Krewe evoke and extend the Allman Brothers Band’s early exploration of rhythmic and tonal sources. Their 21-string kora and 12-string kamel ngoni can be played as harps or lutes, while infiltrating guitars, bass and drums.
”Live At The Orange Peel” also attracts Umar Bin Hassan, of the proto-rap Last Poets, and Appalachian fiddler Rayna Gellert. Other shows are stashed at the band-approved archive.org, but be sure to check them out with 0 screens between.

The Dodos
Tuesday @ Café Bourbon Street
The Dodos’ two-man versatility seems inspired by Simon & Garfunkel’s “Mrs. Robinson,” where an initially bland folkie-pop sound gets its foot in the door, then slips through a number of little twists and turns. And, especially on their new album,
“Visiter” (sic), the Dodos add flecks of metal, blues, and African music studies, the last of which might remind you of Vampire Weekend, but with more straight-forward lyrics, about jobs and other relationships. Too many words sometimes, but the performers keep herding them through ripe tunefulness and dynamics.
Think the title comes from The Young Visiters, a child-written book, said to be classic attempt at/re-imagining Jane Austen "romance." Seems appropriate for a band reaching this far.

They came back to Cowtown!
The Dodos
Sunday @ Newport Music Hall
The Dodos combine refined and rude music into a world of local concerns, rolling and tumbling with their elusive namesake through dynamically extinct dimensions of good and bad vibrations. They have an actual vibraphone, with Keaton Snyder’s mallets and pedals testing Logan Kroeber’s rigorously non-standard percussion and Meric Long’s amplified acoustic guitars. Long’s got a railroad of pitches on his 24-string drum guitar, and some gracefully moody tunes. Bad vibes override when his lyrics get too much room, but live recordings often celebrate the Dodos’ beautifully cracked noise.

Later saw 'em closing a talk show w Neko Case playing guitar as well, seeming right at home.

Fool’s Gold
Friday @ The Summit
The sliding poise and eloquent chatter of guitars instantly open “Surprise Hotel”, where it wouldn’t be surprising to find Fool’s Gold partying with Extra Golden, Toubab Krewe and Tinariwen, who previously connected Columbus to electric crosscurrents of African and American music. Primed by “Hotel”, their self-titled debut album also spins Fool’s Gold through Middle Eastern, Indonesian and Latin refractions, polyrhythmically orbiting their name’s cautionary, anti-utopian irony. “Nadine, please don’t bear your soul to me,” is a heartfelt serenade, from the lush, sun-brushed depths of Los Angeles-based FG’s kaleidoscopic focus.

Oh yeah, Extra Golden!
Extra Golden
Friday @ Rumba
Extra Golden is comprised of two American rock guitarists and two Kenyan benga singer-percussionists. On EG’s third album,
Thank You Very Quickly, bouncing, strutting beats and crowing, high-note licks meet down-tuned tones. Sometimes they energetically settle in together---right before shifting tectonic party plates of texture and rhythm dare players and listeners to adapt. But it all fits. “Fantasies of the Orient” satirically swings like an exotic golf pro. The title track and “Ukimwi” veer through true stories of political arrest and AIDS, respectively, continuously developing the album’s most compelling melodies.

K’naan
K’naan found his international audience in 1999, when the 21-year-old rapper appeared at a United Nations conference, deftly delivering a critique of UN relief programs in his birthplace, Somalia. Living in urban America also provides cogent commentary for performances with the Roots and Mos Def, while his pop appeal comes though with Lenny Kravitz and Nelly Furtado. K’naan’s own traveling band blends hip-hop, reggae, rock and African elements, in purpose-driven propulsion.

Chris Thomas King with the Floorwalkers
Singer/songwriter/arranger/multi-instrumentalist Chris Thomas King not only plays the blues, he plays the bluesmen, in movies such as “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” and “Ray.” Rootsy success hasn’t inhibited King’s blues odyssey, which sometimes encounters hip-hop, chamber music, jazz, African sources and psych-rock. His afternoon Jazz Academy-sponsored workshop at the Lincoln traces the blues through ancient-to-contemporary connections. This concert includes CTK favorites and new songs. Columbus’s soulfully folk-rocking Floorwalkers open.
03/05 @ The Lincoln Theatre, 769 E. Long St.
Workshop: 2 p.m., Concert: 8 p.m.

Although it began as a spin-off of the 2002 movie Drumline, Drumline Live is not a conventional screen-to-stage adaptation. Don Roberts, the film’s musical director, now takes its script’s basis in college band development full circle and beyond. Nearly 40 performers play, dance and sing through African music, gospel, jazz, generations of r&b and hip-hop. Creative competition is also part of this tradition, while audience interaction adds sparks to each performance.
02/01 @ The Palace Theatre, 34 W. Broad St.
7:30 p.m.

Also, you could count these guys:
The Ragbirds
Saturday @ Rumba Café
The Ragbirds are great, but so what? Sure, Erin Zindle maintains vocal poise, while dancing and trading her electric violin for mandolin, melodica, banjo, accordion, and percussion. True, the rhythm section steams through well-timed, seamless dreams of Caribbean, East European, Middle Eastern, African, Irish and Appalachian themes. Yet they might just be another world-class world music band from Michigan, if not for Zindle’s everyday magic realism. She gossips about the moon, and gets unreasonably reasonable with the proper authorities, in between confiding, “Listen/Tell yourself the truth/Until you believe it.”

Oh yeah, Fool's Gold did at least one follow-up album, which I didn't play much, because of the vocals, should try again. Blanking on the title, don't want to hazard a guess and blame the wrong album.

Can't find 'em at the moment, but also wrote a show preview for the American band Princeton, whose album I liked a lot, and Either/Orchestra, Boston jazz band who ranged through many musics, especially (at least in the 2000s, when I previewed) Ethiopian
wiki sez:
The E/O began performing original arrangements of Ethiopian songs, inspired by a compilation called Ethiopian Groove: the Golden 70s. In 2000, after three of these songs appeared on the album More Beautiful than Death, Francis Falceto, the producer of Ethiopian Groove, contacted Gershon and eventually arranged an invitation for the E/O to play at the Ethiopian Music Festival in Addis Ababa in 2004. Along with Indo-British singer Susheela Raman the same year, the E/O was the first non-Ethiopian artist to appear in the festival, and was the first US big band to appear in Ethiopia since Duke Ellington's in 1973. Their concert at the festival was recorded and ultimately appeared in Falceto's Ethiopiques series on the French Buda Musique label. Five Ethiopian guests appear on the recording: Mulatu Astatke, Getatchew Mekurya, Tsedenia Markos, Bahta Hewet and Michael Belayneh. This tour and recording have led to an ongoing collaboration with Astatke, the primary founder of Ethiopian jazz, concerts with Ethiopian expatriates singer Hana Shenkute, krar player Minale Dagnew, masinko player Setegn Atanaw, and the great Ethiopian singer Mahmoud Ahmed with whom E/O released a DVD in 2007. Mahmoud Ahmed and fellow legendary Ethiopian singer Alemayehu Eshete played Lincoln Center Out of Doors in 2008 backed by E/O. The group debuted a collaboration with vocalist Teshome Mitiku in the summer of 2010, including a headlining appearance at the Chicago Jazz Festival.

As I said on RT's thread:

Bloody Noses, 6 songs on bandcamp:
This is an all-acoustic EP recorded at home during lockdown.
All instruments played by Richard Thompson, some harmony vocals by Zara Phillips.

"All acoustic" seems to incl. some deft use of pick-ups, something in the recording set-up allowing for some effects I associate more with per se electric guitar on strong closer "What's Up With You?", in which some of the guitars get percussive as hell, also one of 'em's tuning helps, and sounds like might be actual drums on "The Fortress," with Zara Phillips chiming in effectively on the chorus, "You had the whole world, wrapped around your fin-gah," also good on "Survivor."
Fave so far is "She's A Hard Girl To Know," which I had trouble following at first: so many details, scenes in his head, as he creeps through the rooms, putting it all together, maybe. She's still keeping him going, he knows that much.
Tunes are good, and it's all RT as hell, no surprises, but not just killing time either.

Must check that xxetc. Ferrari, wrote a little bit about one of his back when we were still hearing resentment because France not part of Iraq invasion, so a few implied references here, dang all furriners anyway:

On Luc Ferrari's Les Anecdotiques, voices are talking, frequently in female
and French, beware. (American's also spoken, in Chicago and "dancehall Texas.")
Often near bird-bordered beaches, while engines drive up and away.
Eventually, doors slam and then beat on—doors of a sea tunnel, turns out. Anecdotal,
yas: L.A. swings, as Ferrari intends, in and out of meaning, like a pendulum do.
Worth hearing, at least once. Go listen to your pillow and be glaaad.

It's still worth hearing more than once, duh, but was barely in Voice range at the time, so I was meant to persuade with tourist appeal, and of course at home I'm a tourist, now more than ever.
Only way I got in there was with Toop's Haunted Weather, which incl. some then-rising stara of the artronic margins (names just to drop at the door, because of word limit:
Avantricity's freebirds (Matmos, Autechre, Fennesz, many more) ride the
soundtrack of David Toop's new book,
Haunted Weather: Music, Silence, and Memory.
Right channel clusters, left one cloisters, then they hook up, passing through
each other. In time as well as space, when (b) connects with (a) and (x). Disc
2 is mostly ghostly instruments; Disc 1 is more: for inst., the singing
fry and fray of Alvin Lucier's "Sferics." ("Natural radio-frequency emissions
in the ionosphere, radiated from nearby or distant lightning," Toop notes.)
One Weatherbird's ambushed by street sounds, but they're countered by
visionary description; violence gets safely aestheticized. The artist as museum
guard? Where is she later, when I hear a shovel blade in oily gravel, too near a
hypnotic/hypnotized-sounding muezzin?
Good book too.

I was prompted to dig this out by reading the feature on Szabo in the latest Ugly Things. Bought this a few years ago and should pay more attention to it.
Most groovesome jazz stuff by twin guitar small combo. Reworks a number of pop themes in a really great way.
I think I was first turned onto him by hearing the Insect Trust cover his Walking on Nails.
THis is a great pairing fro a couple of different live recordings.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/cc787f6e21750db0f92274a209fff637/6744027
Antipodean mid 60s garage and psych. This was the 4th disc from the set and is more psych oriented for the most part.
Has some nice covers of UK and US tracks and more original stuff.
Pretty consistently good i think. I think that's true of the whole 6cd box but has been a while since i went through it.
I see there's a similar set of South African stuff reviewed in that UT I mention above and i heard teh SA sce3ne was supposed to be as savage as the Australian and Texan ones, not sure about the politics though but that is probably true of both of the locations I just mentioned too.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/fa0af0914420925876904cf7a8d350aa/6427072
working backwards through the 3cd set. THis was disc 2 for the last week.
So goes back to the mid 60s, he seems not to have been putting out singles much throughout most o fthe 60s. Not sure how self releasing things worked at the time, was it easier to release a full lp at a time?
Anyway some great stuff on here. He already had a sense of spaciousness on his mid 50s recordings and then it goes into some more doo woppy and r'n'b vocal stuff. Great, looking forward to finding out what the 50s releases are like on here. I should be familiar with taht stuff, had the previous Singles 2cd. But I Think I mainly concentrate on that deep space funk era of teh late 70s/early 80s when I listen to Ra. Do have some earlier stuff too though.

There were some single-disc or LP collections a long time ago. with tracks not on this or the previous round-up, supposedly. I still need to look for those. Yeah, this collection is incredible.
Now listening to Wussy's Ghosts:
https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a2359307900_10.jpg

Odds and sods, appropriately for The Who influence that keeps coming back, even on campfire and laundromat songs here (guitars tend to push back against and through woolgathering words, some the vocal levels take getting used to, but yknow studio field recordings, with some odd little ambient sounds---Lisa Gardner's voice always comes right out, even on one of her damn Magic Numbers Radio Shack tracks, where she comes out just enough to pull me in, or close enough to see her slow spin, in the dryer, like.

She also rolls one of the most startling highlights among several: a cover of the Eddie Hinton-Donnie Fritts classy chestnut "Breakfast in Bed," a highlight of the all-highlights Dusty In Memphis, here with guitars from another part of theeeee 60s.

Patrick Cowley, Some Funkettes: Firmly packed studio rat EP, sassy and fresh from the can, man, mid-to-late 70s queries--fave so far is instrumental version of "I Feel Love," with as much or as prominent organ as synth, maybe 60s garage fave Farfisa, bringing out seedy soulful punky Latin highlights from melody---other fave is finale, "Spiked Punch Dub."

notes just now, trying to wrap brane around what it just experienced:

Little Richard, Southern Child omg, cert worth mention try to describe finely calibrated sense of pitch, sweetly piercing and sensitive, like Joplin’s "Summertime" all the time while rolling round on the farm vehicles and such, musos no prob as he makes something----something, not nec of nothing but working a few phrases not nec going anywhere but around and around earth and space certainly some robust to muscular phrases, whatever he does with them and voice very clear despite all the screaming he had done press sheet says label was like oh we don’t know about him doing country or was it just that it was so out there how compare to his other new records around then? seemed pretty out there in 70s Hendrix doc Sweet girlish laughter but unsettling as in high school wtf but no complaints after all Out Dec. 4 and always

xxp Karl is otm, Turiya Sings is the best of the 4 "devotional" Alice Coltrane releases

i'm glad you agree! especially because i think i only listened to the other 3 about twice each, whereas i am drawn to Turiya Sings like a moth to a flame. I've youtubed it dozens of times, at least. the comp is great, but it's very much a comp - it jumps from style to style, it's a collection of highlights for sure. but the Turiya Sings cassette is a sustained ~mood~. i have no idea what she is singing about, in specific; i think i may be disrespectful, in some ways, by using it as "work" or "concentration" music. but i can very much see how it could work as devotional music, because whether you like it or not, by 20 minutes in you will be in a more quiet place.

I bought thsi after seeing a biography of her on teh tv over the summer. Took an age to arrive for soem reason but it is pretty great. Have had it on or them on since thsi sisa 2cd set over the last couple of weeks. First disc has her appearance with hAarry Belafonte at Carnegie Hall or something similar followed by her first 2 US lps. NIce stuff largely in English. She has a voice that rivals Joan baez for purity of tone but I think she has more feeling. Love her voice and the music is pretty decent.
2nd disc hasa lotof music she was recording before she left South Africa and went into Exile for decades. Again pretty great, though seems like a lot of the jazz elements echo music from much earlier I'd connect the horns more to very early US jazz but they may link to something more traditional in South Africa i dunno,
Anyway glad I now have some music by her she is a pretty awesome singer. I should have bought stuff much much earlier

anothe rinteresting covermount frm Mojo magazine thsi time tracks realted to Radioheads Kid A lp. Quite diverse set of tracks though it does hang together quite well.
Could see somebody stumbling across a set of loose cds in a charity shop somewhere in a few years time and finding a lot of these Mojo related ones and suddenly hearing a lot of great music they didn't have a grounding for.Hope tat ahppens a lot. They dod a good job.
I'm not a big Radiohead fan , saw them once supporting levitation back in like 92 which pretty much dopes it for me.
But this is pretty great anyway.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/be67fa60c4f00824ae4a04ae081bcd0f/1739558
listened to the first disc of this for a few days. Takes me back to the too few times i was at the club in the late 80s.
loved dancing to the jazz stuff Peterson was spinning, reconnecting with Eddie Pillar and stuff.
I started hitching the UK following bands around the time so stopped going to this and the |Son of Redneck the country and western club behind Selfridges because i tended to be hundreds of miles away from there.
Found out this set existed last year or earlier this, it has some pretty great stuff on it.
Can see why I liked dancing to Peterson's djing but would like to know what else he was playing at the time.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/e0a1579288d9b8f53b048f75b09de634/6580545
Had this in a previous cd form back in th e90s and have meant to replace it for a while .
I think it is jazzier and less avant than i was thinking, still quite abstract and a little abrasive.
Like it I think. not sure how recognisable the standard is on here All the Things You Are.

As I said on Rolling Reissues (having used news of re-pressing of this 2010 comp to post on RR)"

...just listened to the xpost Walter Gibbons comp, which, maybe track 2 aside, had almost 0 wasted seconds, and he's def not reliant on Arthur Russell etc. material; he brings orginally generic tracks toward the cosmic carwash as well, in an organic, seamless-seeming way---also has a ear for just the right conga sound, and not like AR is his only weirdo client either. That link again: https://waltergibbons.bandcamp.com/
Just now ordered the olde CD, which has a few more tracks than bandcamp's 12; Amazon digital only has 10.
Saw several complaints about quality of the first pressing, hope this new one is better.

Will prob say more when I get the CD and can listen to the other tracks.

no lime tangier, Wednesday, 18 November 2020 05:13 (three years ago) link

There's a 2nd lp or compilation of Algarnas Tradgard taht i saw advertised a decade or so ago.
I had a track from th e1st lp pop up on my walkman while I was out during the time my phone was outof order so I wasn't listening to podcasts.
Been way too long since I listened to the cd through. THink I was turned onto it by Julian Cope.

There's also another lp by th epairing of John Renbourne and Dorris Henderson from right around the same time and with a similar feel.
I think I have both but need to look. Think both were quite good. Well Renbourne is almost inevitably and Henderson hasa really good voice. I think she wound up in the Eclection though I'm not sure tehy recorded with her.
John Renbourne Group lps are also pretty good, or utterly sublime one of those.

Gradually getting so strung out on this, adjusting the plates of my head (in 'phones) every time I listen, which is sometimes 2-3 times in a row (it's 36" minutes, not a second wasted). Reposted from Afro-Latin etc:

in recent years, thee gloriously notorious La Montra, AKA Rita Indiana, has become better known for her dystopian novels, but now she's back with Mandinga Times, which is pretty amazing, and well-covered here, by Daniel Alarcón:
Last year, Indiana felt ready to come back to music. Much of the recording was done in the fall, just months after Puerto Rico’s most tumultuous time in recent memory, when two weeks of raucous street protests forced the resignation of the governor. The political energy of last summer is evident on the album; its songs, sung in the voice of Mandinga, Indiana’s gender-neutral alter ego, feel like anthems of discontent. The finishing touches were applied after the world had shut down, making the album feel less like a warning about a dark but still avoidable future and more like musical stenography documenting our current predicament. But, like Indiana’s earlier music, and like her work more broadly, Mandinga Times is also an immersion in hybridity: it’s merengue with a heavy-metal heart; it’s gagá mixed with thrash, reggaetón and punk, dembow, trap, and Middle Eastern melodies; it’s love songs and battle raps and protest music. When I asked Cabra to describe the album to me, he struggled. To say that it was eclectic was only half true, he said. In fact, each song was eclectic, diverse moods and styles alternating in a single track. “I find it hard to place Rita’s project within a genre,” he said. “If I describe how her music sounds, I think that takes away its power.”
That's the album's producer, Eduardo Cabra, of the legendary Puerto Rican band Calle 13:

xp This goes into more detail, re backstories of several tracks---to my ears, the social commentary, though dealing w harshscapes etc., *sounds* soulful, lyrical, and urgent; the sadness can be sweet, but never sentimental or otherwise self-indulgent.

The one studio lp by free jazz supergroup so far more songform than most of tehir releases.
Great visceral impactful psychedelic skronk.
I waited years to get this on cd so was very happy when ESP put this out a few years ago.
Not really sure what is directly comparable outside of the members' own work and probably things like Krakatau which some bits o fthis sound a bit like. May be Brotzmann's use of horns. I'm not sure.
Do love this, not sure how people who came in through the band's live recordings feel about it though.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/2d7c9f10696526c78ec5be6e27bd7491/1842899
creepy eerie recontextualisation of various influences . I'm hearing a lot of old timey rural influences though instrumentation seems to be heavily processed. I remember hearing a rhythm section on Meet The Residents teh first lp that sounded like it was lifted straight from the first james brown at the Apollo which really intrigued me.
This is the Preserved edition version and so far the only one of that series I have which I need to remedy.
Pretty other, also heavy Harry Partch influence in the mix along with other stuff.
Apparently this is an lp that's not as heavily rated as the rest of their work but I find it really really good, fits my tastes when i listen to it anyway.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/a4994c356e85742e322a9e091ad0ab6b/6976720
Droning rock stuff . Glad i looked this up again after passing on it in Rough Tradea coupl eof years ago cos it is a great listen.
Reminds me of Killing joke and hawkwind and things. Brutal and abstract and fun stuff.
I should listen to it more.

These being Population II A LA O Terre

Fripp/Eno - Live In Paris 1975

howls of non-specificity (sleeve), Monday, 23 November 2020 20:00 (three years ago) link

Last Exit's Iron Path is basically a Laswell album more than a Last Exit album, but I enjoy it for what it is. My favorite stuff by them at this point is the s/t debut, Cassette Recordings '87, and that one. For a supposedly total improv group, they developed a collective voice and onstage routines very fast.

Currently listening to From Elvis In Nashville, a 4CD set of studio recordings from 1970. These tracks were used for the albums That's The Way It Is, Love Letters From Elvis and Elvis Country (I'm 10,000 Years Old), but a lot of them had strings and a female chorus added, making them kinda gooey. The versions here have all that stuff stripped away — it's just Elvis and the band playing country and rock songs and some ballads, and they're much, much better for it (and I like '70s Elvis, a lot).

Amen, and thanks for thee reminder of xpost Hapna:
t all starts with a sound. The sound of a monophonic synth. Then we have the Drums. And what binds it all together: The Bass.
In search of a departed past. Maybe a trip to Italy 1981. No, we never went to Italy... Ok.
But the colour is definitely brown.
Memories, not necessarily self-perceived, but yet...
A happy childhood. A promising future. And then there's a wizard.
Phrases, echoes. Expanding lines that evolves and re-evolves.
Escape from NY. Growing up. Possibilities and limitations.
The smell of dust and electricity. A wish to go back and forward at the same time.
It all comes down to a introspective groove. The strength of the collective process.

I love the Marquee set from that year.
Seems to have an element of near Link Wray Ness I'm not really hearing elsewhere. One of several elements blended.
It was the date I saw them on.
Official Video is them at Leeds a few days after that.
Do wonder what lira basslines would sound like if she was writing her own.

Also do like the band as a 5 piece a year earlier playing the My War stuff as written with Duchowski and Cadenza still on board.

2014 vocal jazz with a minimal bent. Likened to Bond themes stripped to their bone, and that's okay.

Also a bunch of other jazz/improvisation that others on RYM labeled with one of the "minimal" tags. The trio Plaistow from Genève, Switzerland definitely were influenced by their Tonus-Music brethren in Bern. Something in the water. Anyway, Plaistow's discography sort of splits the difference between The Necks (though in more digestible chunks), Dawn of Midi, and sometimes the junglisms of GoGo Penguin.

Trojan reboot packaging of teh best of the great jamaican instrumental/backing band.
Listening to an hour of this had me wondering if the use of intense repetitive instrumental lines on a number of teh sings here had had any influence on the bands that went on to develop math rock. I was reminded of things i had been listening to a while earlier like Don Caballero and similar.
Anyway great instrumentalists and instrumentitians. I need to read the book on the great Jamaican music school and boys home that came out a few years ago I think a few of the players here went through that system.

Finnish jazz prog band.
Been meaning to pick uyp stuff by this lot for a while. The 50th anniversary versions are on the verge of selling out, already out at SVart.
Didn't know a great deal about them, have just seen the name used in a few places. BUt now got this and bought Lambertland. I think the instrumental passages are quite great.
Makes me want to get more by them and probably Burnin Red ivanhoe who I think may be at least fellow travellers.
ON this lp they had an Engllish singer by Lambertland they have a better known Finnish singer.
Enjoy this stuff, not as overblown or pompous as some stuff can be.

French Canadian Space roc/psych/prog band with lyrics mainly in French.
I heard this as a dld a few weeks ago and thought i needed to get hold of a physical copy. Seems that getting hold of tyhings may be getting more difficult or at least p+p seemed to be getting way too high.
Blooming great anyway, starts with some warped bo diddley beat stuff which is blooming great and continues to be jollly good like.

mopping up of demoes etc for an lp by Maine psychedelic band. some of which have been completed more recently.
I think is pretty great. may be a little too close to Population II ;s style to be on the same 3 changer listening experience.
So it was taken off when Tasavallan Presidentti arrived. Will be put back on next week I think.
& i have a 2nd disc I haven't listened to yet.
I think there is more of a gare punk sensibility running through this that Pop II though.

Ashley Ray, Pauline:
Country songwriting pro, on the team w Lori McKenna etc. This 2020 alb is first of hers I've heard: wild 'n' blue munchkin hop on otm uptempo tracks, a bit mumblecore on ballads so far, but that can work when I catch up, like imagery moving out of the murk on some of xpost Gretchen Peters' comsic country Mickey Newbury trib. Also, at least one of the ballads already works: "Rock and Roll," not Zep's or VU's, but another original, with two hooks, one in the chorus, the other in a recurring banjo lick.

disc 2 of this which is the 2nd and 3rd studio lps by the band
Dutch psych band beginning to show some prog tendencies. Some nice instrumental interplay.
Disc 1 is mainly singles so doesn't have the Agemo's trip in the correct order. I already have that lp plus singles anyway.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/bcc40383b0de458c8698afcea1a5e6f9/6245164
Congolese guitar player plays soukous, funk and Rhumba . I may have picked this up because of the psychedelic influences but have been neglecting it for a few years. ON playing it it is pretty bloomin tasty.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/8bc86ef7445d2ad48636eed4544a3a53/6297019
Turkish artist from the early to mid 70s, a compilation of singles etc from up to this point in 1975.
Nice fuzz guitar and things in places.
I picked this up in a sale from Guerssen earlier this year I think, if not was earlier from them.
Do like this Turkish psychy stuff. Just found out that a Turkish firm have reissued baris Manco's 2023 so need to grab that.

bonus disc with compilation mopping up recording project from a maine band's lp from a few years ago.
THis sounds like some of Hawkwind's more noisy stuff, long droning rock stuff with less of a garage edge than the other lp here. Pretty lofi
Came out on Cardinal Fuzz who tend to be very good.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/b76a605f04c436e0aedd09a82053ba78/1326607
Edinburgh based post-punk band's almost complete recorded works. This just came out as a 3cd set through Cherry Red, but it appears to omit the a side of their first single for some reason.
Been meaning to get a copy of at least the lp since reading the NME review from the time it came out. Do quite enjoy this. Pretty great.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/3e2a3de19232efd352a879e4d947138d/8535802
local based Swedish singer who works in a folky acousticky style but largely sparsely electric backing here.
Some fuzz guitar and things.
I quite like it and liked her live. So had been meaning to get this for a while. BUt only sold in a shop I thought only took cash and finally found out he took cards this week.
Well got it now

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/b97e8a8b8ef5178696865c2875589260/1541034
Kenya based Soukos band recorded in the early 80s

Leprosy was my first Death and is probably still the one I listen to the most. Some bangers on there.

Shaidar Logoff (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Friday, 25 December 2020 15:09 (three years ago) link

Leprosy is amazing. starts hot out the gate and really doesn't relent, but does so with more focus than the also-awesome Scream Bloody Gore.

I want a Leprosy Hoodie

I treated myself to one Death t-shirt when buying the whole discography this past week--had already bought Leprosy when I decided to do so, otherwise that's the one I'd've repped for (decided to go with Symbolic since I like that cover art and although Relapse doesn't own its actual release rights they've weirdly bundled the t-shirt for that album as an optional add-on when you buy the deluxe digi reissue of Scream Bloody Gore:

Listening to this on YouTube because it isn't on Bandcamp or easily bought as mp3s elsewhere in North America atm for whatever reason (have previously had trouble with this re: other Century Media releases)--holy crap, this is not what I was expecting on multiple fronts but I am here for it, so surprisingly sludgy and vital-sounding

Heard a doc about this last night on Public Radio, but maybe American or something, can't find it on npr.org so far---anyway, blasts of multi-d music, several whole tracks, between brief interviews w participants----Crystals, Ronettes, other recombinant groups backed by/interacting with the Wrecking Crew and Phil's orchestral hordes, then I played the whole thing on the 'Tube, pretty psychedelic:

Xxp did like the Death Leprosy lp seemed to be some interesting use of melody tempering the metal. Used to especially love pull the plug.
Not really familiar with the rest of the bands work though may have sound files somewhere.

Was hearing a bit of a 60s feel against the metal. Was guitarist a fan of Hendrix,Cream etc as well as more metallic stuff.

"In need of a fix called innocence" is just on the righteous side of emo IMO--I also like how Schuldiner's voice remained v. decipherable, sort of a shriekier Mustaine or Araya; the higher-pitched banshee style by the time of The Sound of Perseverance has grown on me a bunch since first listen, too

This album makes a lot more sense to me on cassette, walking around with it in a Walkman--have become esp partial to "Red Hill Mining Town" in terms of the non-singles

don't know anything about him but those covers make me want to investigate

Shaidar Logoff (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Tuesday, 29 December 2020 07:08 (three years ago) link

I think the Black Ark was his most famous and revered lp. It got a lavish reissue on cd about a decade ago which I picked up.
Haven't investigated him much further though.

Oh hey Stevolende! Thanks for posting that Herbcraft Trash Heap, I checked it out along with an earlier tape (Flowering) and really dig it.

Shaidar Logoff (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Tuesday, 29 December 2020 11:15 (three years ago) link

cool, I do try to buy most of the things that Cardianl fuzz put out which si why I bought that. It is pretty interesting, possibly a bit too close to Population II for me to be listening to both on the same 3 changer rotation but quite intersting in its own right. It's the pre-completion version of some of the material for one of their lps or at least work reworked elsewhere I think.
NOt really come across them before but glad i did

Stevolende, Tuesday, 29 December 2020 12:42 (three years ago) link

oh right to be more specific they were works in progress that got misplaced in a bo somewhere so not sure if these exact songs appeared in different form elsewhere
