What are you listening to? 2021

Archers of loaf. All the nation's airports.

I'm sure I was probably into at the time but I can't recall a single song off of it. Surely it's not their best work?

MASSIVE. I should work on reviving the reggae thread huh.

Whoops.

Is it too big? I wasn't searching for the "biggest" image per se.

Nah the thread regulates sizes now right?

Yeah actually I was thinking of the Marcus Garvey/Garvey's Ghost 2XLP anyway. I'll just show myself out.

It's actually the 2nd disc of this box set of the 2nd Bauhaus lp Mask. That's the one with related rarities on.
Not sure where my main lp is from this set so maybe I need to search my room. This set shows off the instrumentation to great degree and the array of influences going on. Some very funky bass stuff going on on a couple of tracks. This contains singles and e.p.s from the time including teh B-side Earwax which is the joke about making Fishcakes which shows a sense of humour I'm not sure one automaticallly associates with the band. Though maybe I'm missing something that is more central to them.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/w/bb9c27da63ab0343335b6c03e054c0d1/2650153
Donny Hathaway's 2nd lp. Shows him being pretty experimental as well as the range of his voice.
Some interesting covers on here some of which may be much more associated with other singers including Nana Mouskouri and the Hollies.
I got this as part of his Original Album Series box after being half aware of him for years. I think I had a couple of compilations before that.

THis appears to be viewed as the lesser of the first run of Amon Duul II lps. It still has some pretty stunning guitar on it.
Seems to be an attempt to arrive at tune though it still features some good instrumental interplay. Though nothing like the 2nd disco of Yeti or anything.

I’m not familiar enough with this album to tell what’s different on this promo version… except for one thing: no intro to “victim of changes”, it just kicks right in.

I have a dr strangely strange bio from a couple of years ago that I still need to read.

& A Canterbury Tale Sanctuary Anthology on Spirogyra somewhere though it may be scratched. I know I had Bell, Boots and Shambles by them separately not sure about either of the others.

Found a lot of gems when organizing my LPs this week

love those new world records comps^^^

i am listening to HOT ROCK

<a href="https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/hugh-masekela/i-am-not-afraid/";><img src="//e.snmc.io/i/300/w/5a721abdcca2bb3a729b89feb379e9d5/6443496" alt="Hugh Masekela - I Am Not Afraid"></a>

i didn't expect the introspection comp to be on spotify but it is & it's good. most of these guys could still do with more love

//e.snmc.io/i/300/w/5a721abdcca2bb3a729b89feb379e9d5/6443496

HUgh Masekela compilation with both that Hedzoleh Sounds backed lp and the previous collaboration on in full. Plus the next band that Masekela formed with African players in several tracks. The whole 3cd set seems to be pretty good though I've only heard 2 discs so far.
Nice comprehensive set of grooves with African sources and in collaboration with some American players.
I should have been more familiar with Masekela's work I think I was mainly aware of him as a South African exile and a Byrds collaborator as well as being married to Miriam Makeba at one point. That and his appearance on Monterey Pop which seems really iconic. Now also seen him on Summer of Soul which isn't quite up to the standard of Monterey. Oh yeah was aware of one version of Stimela the song about the South African mining workers train which i think I knew in an English language version from some point in the 80s though it just occurred to me that it was something a local dj was playing in his ethno funk sets in the local Gaelic club. (I think the thought behind that club was initially about keeping other languages than English being talked/sung)
Anyway superlative compilation which seems to be going pretty cheap at some online outlets. & an artist that I should be much more familiar with and this set does help with that a lot. Certainly for the decade from the mid 60s to the mid 70s as it says in the title.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/w/c3bcaad672a3ca405196d368fc13659e/1310479
2nd solo lp by Annette Peacock here accompanied by various sidemen who I think changed over the time the record was recorded but include people like Chris Spedding on guitar who also pops up on a lot of other interesting somewhat proggy stuff over the 70s, and Bill Bruford on drums.
IT was recently reissued so I finally got it after wanting it for the last few years and having missed the compilation from about a decade ago which combined this with the next late 70s lp and I think some bonus material. Do need the next lp still I think. Think it might not be as immediate as this but still pretty necessary. This is jazzy, funky and a bit quirky, not quite as out there as her earlier 70s lp I'm The One which is also pretty necessary.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/w/98d9a22e5905a3e3dc53ffcc02ab20d7/2454119
New Zealand band's great anthology. Garagey amateurish playing with great melody etc .
Had meant to pick this up for ages, finally sorted that out a couple of years ago but should pay more attention to it. Have loved 'Getting older' since it was current I think, I may have had i on a Flying Nun sampler from somewhere in the mid 90s too.
I assume the Velvets are a massive influence as well as some other 60s material but I think channelled through punk era lens.
Pretty essential to these ears as I listen to it. So I shouldn't leave so long intervals.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/w/9428d3b84b5256f368a6169a94041f00/5488060
Singles anthology by garage punk/psych essentials. Covers all the well known singles as well as material by later lineups from the 60s which I'd known from an Eva compilation in the mid 80s.
Band chnged quite heavily in the late 60s. Also very early stuff i sfar closer to late 50s r'n'r than one might assume from the garage psych archetype stuff from 66 and 67. Great set which i also ought to be far more familiar with, like have been listening to some of this since my mid teens and other bits I'm only just discovering.
