Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse
I first heard it 15 years ago and didn't much care for it, though I barely paid attention to metal at the time anyway. For (subconscious?) reasons that I'll probably never entirely grasp, In the Nightside Eclipse bowled me over a few months ago, to such an extent that I am now on a steady diet of mostly black metal, trying to make up for lost time.

My Indole RingVancouver psychedelic band from the 60s. Have some really out there textures that get me right there every time i hear them.Had known about the band for ages but only recently got hold of the actual cd.
Orchestra baobab A Night At club Baobab.compilation of the 70s recordings by band who are probably better known for material a decade or so later. I think the focus is a bit different. Contains some of the latin influence but does something a bit more trippy or something with it.

I mean this completely genuinely when I say that Come to my Garden is such a beautiful album. Charles Stepney is surely one of the best to ever do it.

THird power Believe arrived todayThree piece from Detroit playing a heavy rock/psych thingy from around '70.Just got the nearly double length remaster have loved the track Persecution since i got it on Michigan rocks in the late 80s/early 90s. Reminded me a lot of Thee Hypnotics back then.Remaster has really great sound.

With Max Roach Freedom Now there's a great 1/2 hour tv special from I think French TV from the time where it's played live. I think I have it somewhere but not watched it in ages.Abbie Lincoln is great in it.

There's this thing from Belgian TV but I haven't seen the stage sets that i remember from the thing i got about 10 years agohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFKJsbl_sXw
I remember Abbey Lincoln singing something from a prison cell and i think there were another couple of sets.

Zappi if you're into Hustler's Convention you might want to find the track Doriella du fontaine that Lightning Rod cut with Jimi Hendrix. Also all his stuff with the Last Poets.Also the writer Iceberg Slim
― Stevolende, Friday, 1 September 2017 15:34 (seven years ago) link
Yeh I knew Last Poets but for some reason Hustlers Convention passed me by. Need to track that Hendrix song tho!
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Friday, 1 September 2017 15:41 (seven years ago) link
It's on the recent Running The Voodoo Down compilation from AustraliaI think it's also been on a couple of Last poets compis.
Watts Prophets who were the L.A. equivalent of Last Poets are worth an ear too.
& Iceberg Slim did a spoken word lp with funk backing called Reflections but not sure it's as good as his written work

New Order "Technique"
this album really rules. i love the super electroey dance house stuff.
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Saturday, 2 September 2017 18:26 (seven years ago) link
I love Technique. So much so that I would argue, in fact, that side two is arguably the best single side of an album from the 80s.

"Dream Attack" is like the synth nexus between The Cure and Simon & Garfunkle. that intro makes me think of "A Hazy Shade of Winter".
Technique on repeat this weekend. love this album so much.
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Sunday, 3 September 2017 19:13 (seven years ago) link
i really love the straight techno house stuff so much. is there Casio bass on this at one point? feels like DIY dance music. like the later 70s Bowie stuff it produces commercial futuristic pop from experimental studio techniques. i like how they will have a drum machine/bass synth driven beat but play acoustic guitar lines its a real nice mesh or acoustic & electronic sounds.

I handled a brand new copy at the Squidco store, but passed on it ($$). Then I searched for it on Discogs, found a copy for $15 but somebody swiped it as I was corresponding with the seller (inquiring about the shipping cost, seller thought I was the silent buyer) - was quite pissed. Eventually sucked it up and paid $28 for a used copy. It rules. Sorry about the rules (pre-1990 etc.), wasn't thinking.

Mystery To Me by Fleetwood Mac, and some of Bare Trees. I mean.. i had no idea as i was never a huge fan, that there was a whole run of albums between the Peter Green era and the Buckingham/Nicks era. I'd have guessed there might be one, but not like.. six.
What's surprising is just how similar (in 'mood' at least) to the classic-era Mac some of it sounds; that whole warm, hazy, lush poppy thing.I'm amazed that the Mystery To Me and Pale Ghosts stuff wasn't somehow re-packaged into some kind of classic single CD or something, after they got massive.

This is a shocking admission to make on ILM, but apart from "Stairway to Heaven" I until recently hadn't heard any Led Zeppelin at all. Now I'm rectifying that. They were pretty good, weren't they?

you had never heard "whole lotta love"? i have never been a fan but that song was played to death in my youth. these days i like it (for nostalgic reasons?), it is definitely better than 99.9% of today's music...
