an hour of ambient stuff mixed/edited etc by the black dog.
just what i needed today.

Kenny Wheeler - Gnu High and Deer Wan albums back to back. Just what I needed this hungover morning.

Got only 3 weeks to make a cool Afrobeat music for my thesis, and boy, have I been on a search roller coaster. Gotta find some African music beats ASAP and then I got hooked to this page popularly called Naija Free Beats. Still on the thesis thing, but everyday, I keep going back for some listening and relaxation pleasure. Also have some cool collections from Soundcloud as well. :)

love these albums, this is the only living jazz pianist who makes me think of Mal Waldron. For some strange reason his quite jaunty version of They Say It's Wonderful brings me to the verge of blubbing.

A good'un

Love Cowley!

I've been listening to the first two Wishbone Ash albums a lot. They're pretty good.

massaman gai, I'll need to check that out. Taylor Bynum was a classmate of mine back in Brookline, MA. We were both in the HS jazz band, lol.

The Fool (1968)

this is an LP by the hip psychedelic English art collective The Fool. the painted the outside of the Apple store in London. they painted John Lennon's rolls royce and Eric Clapton's guitar. they designed the inner sleeve for Sgt. Pepper. their album was produced by Graham Nash. they were very well plugged in.

this is their vanity record. it's pretty good! like the album cover shows they are not as much of a band as they are a Renaissance Festival troupe of gypsies singing fairy tale songs and stuff. the album is psych folk. some electronic noises overdubbed onto simple Fleetwood Mac-style group folk songs. some drones and New Age Cult energy. i like "No One Will Ever Know":

Fred Cole apparently started out singing soul fronting a black band when he was 16. Not sure if you can tell that from his yelp.

Air Canada in-flight audio from today:
Beethoven's 3rd and 5th symphonies (Calgary Philharmonic)
Imarhan - Temet
April Wine - s/t (better than I expected)
Eighth Blackbird/Dan Trueman/Paul Muldoon/Iarla Ó Lionáird - Olagón: A Cantata in Doublespeak (part of the first disc)

Since getting back, Alvvays - Antisocialites and clips from the contemporary music concert at MusCan.

Air Canada !!! Lol my man

Their selections were better than I expected.

so, in the last few days I got the new GAS album, and both of the new Black Dog albums, which I am still absorbing.
however, this is the one that has impressed the most.
it is absolutely sublime.
organic (not something that's normally associated with KOMPAKT), ethereal, warm, and just fantastic.

Girl Band, Scott Walker's Phillips records, Amon Duul 2, New Zealand's Jefferies brothers various projects.
