Gato Barbieri Bolivia /Underfire
2fer cd of 2 early 70s lps by rather fondant saxophonist. Marrying freeish jazz, rock elements and Latin influences on some seriously tasteful material. Came across this in a Zavvi sale and quite possibly wouldn't have heard otherwise. Shame since great. Scorching in places, while still remaing somehow mellow. weird melange.

Blo Chapters & Phases rpm reissue of 1st 2 lps by band consisting 2 members of Ginger Baker's African project Salt. Really quite amazing, shows a lot of influence from Brit & US prog/rock while remaining rooted in West african sound. Bits of this are also reminiscent of Can and others. Very reccommended.
I was knocked out by the guitar on the track on Nigeria 70 and standard pretty much maintained throughout. Bits of Cymande might be something of a comparison too.

Dennis wilson Pacific Ocean Blue
put this on in response to the friday night bbc4 doc a couple weeks back. Bits of it are pretty great. Since I have it on my bedroom 3changer stereo i kept falling asleep to it. Not sure if that relates to other bits. Cos I'm not sure if I've ever fully connected with the lp.

Blurt Best of pt1.
slightly surprised by some of this cos I thought they were very avant and it seems like a lot of 80s indie bands coopted part of their sound. Like this, must listen to more. Bit lofi in places too.

Charalambides A Vintage Burden
again surprised, I thought what I'd heard before was rather formless avantish stuff and this is delicious folk with a large acoustic focus. Must dig out the cd I was given some time back and listen again.

The Gun Club Stockholm 87
At the time of the tour I was very turned off to Nick Sanderson's drumming, finding it too Wagnerian. Listening to other material years later I was more appreciative of him. Here I think I see what I was thinking at the time, drumming is stentorian, epic (monolithic?) I think possibly too stiff, but listening to him elsewhere I thought fatback as in rock 'n'roll/r'n'b , must relisten to the Mother Juno lp & focus on the drumming.
this set has Crab Dance in which i'm not sure I've heard live before. Nice song, one at least, of its 2 studio versions shows a pronounced soul influence that isn't much talked about in the rest of the Gun Club's work.

various Miles davis
somebody upped the whole Columbia box set to Demonoid & I grabbed it. So have to work my way through it.
Had Filles De Kilimanjaro on earlier which is pretty deeply atmospheric.

various Grateful Dead.
Nothing like a bit of Garcia to have you appreciating sheer bliss.
also a '71 Garcia/Merle Saunders live set which was veritably delicious

Affinity If You Live
alternative recordings etc from protoprog group. I put it on expecting hammond grooves and I think it focuses more on the guitar. Plus of course Linda Hoyle's wonderful voice.

Orchestra poly-Rhytmo de Cotinhou
awesome African funk band. I think they just toured, but nowhere near here unfortunately. & there was at least one live set upped to one of the torrent sites, which I habven't yet heard. This was the compi, think the 1st one.

Yes Tales From Topographic Oceans
Just had to check out how loudly the word NO had to be shouted. Seems to have quasi decent passages but for the most part keep noodling to find one good idea in 5 minutes.

Ya Ho wa various
just got the God & Hair box as a d/ld.
Some of this is deeply fine spacey psychedelic rock, others has too much of Father Yod's bad trip vocals.


several other bits & pieces which I might add later.

Having lashed out on a new turntable, I've been enjoying anew some great old LP's from my youth, namely:

Change 'Change Of Heart' - classy, time-locked 80's funk. The title track is a real Chic rip-off but it's a belter anyway;

Jethro Tull 'A Passion Play' - nowhere near as dense and pretentious as it's made out to be, there are some fabulous parts to this sprawling epic, and if that implies that there are others that aren't so good, well they only go to make the good bits sound great by comparison. I love this;

Swell Maps 'A Trip To Marineville' - kack-handed avant garde punk rock with real charm and, in places, genuine excitement;

Wigwam 'Hard 'n' Horny' - late 60's euro rock steeped in Traffic, Gainsbourg and jazz, miles away from the impression given by the LP's title. The clunky bass sound dates this badly, but Wigwam's first album is a fine one;

Cabaret Voltaire 'Mix Up' - another good debut; in fact, I prefer this to the funkier stuff that made this band's name. There's a solid kosmische vibe throughout this;

David Bowie 'Lodger' - unlike all David Bowie's prior albums, and the one after it, I never cared for this one enough to upgrade to CD. Hearing it again after thirty years makes me realise how I've underrated it. It sounds like it was made yesterday, which is more than can be said for Bowie's godawful 80's output, 'Scary Monsters' excepted;

Kevin Coyne 'Bursting Bubbles' - typically harrowing stuff from the most individual singer-songwriter England ever produced, Barrett and Hammill possibly excepted. Discuss!

The Hollies 'Hollies' - classy, intricate pop from a perennially underrated band: this is the 1974 LP that begat 'The Air That I Breathe'. Inspired by this and an excellent article in 'Shindig', I also revisited (on CD - I don't own vinyl originals, more's the pity) The Hollies' psychedelic LP's 'Would You Believe' (very 'Rubber Soul', but so what), 'Evolution' ('Revolver', natch!) and 'Butterfly' ('Pepper'!) - every one a gem, the odd moment of Nash tweeness notwithstanding - especially 'Would You Believe'.

More vinyl thrills to follow. I'm on strike Monday and Tuesday and plan to spend both days sat between my Tannoys!

Have a great week, everyone

Dave

Soundtrack to the film Klute, Michael Small.

I might be exaggerating, but I don't think I have heard so many idea's and tension in so few notes. The music from the titles section is particularly mighty. This captures that west coast Fender Rhodes vibe of 1971 perfectly. I just learn't he composed the music for China Syndrome, but it was dropped from the film.

Jan Akkerman. C.U (from 2003)

Jan had been 'up country' to a rave or some disco in a field. This collaboration with the people who were putting out some 'beats' is so good. Not only does he play 'lead' with his typical panache and verve, it also demonstrates his spectacular ability a Rhythm player. Have a look at some reviews on Amazon. Those widdler merchants widdly would do well to listen here whilst scalloping out their Fender Strat fret boards.

Harold McNair The Fence.

A B+C LP from 1970.

Jazz flute, and a treated electric Sax at its best. Any sniggering at th jazz flute will be immediately thwarted by lissening to this LP. The man was a demon musician and died soon after at age 39. You can hear one of the pianists playing the coltrane line out of F.Things which is really nice.
