Yusef Leteef with Doug Watkins
(The Incredible) Jimmy Smith - Got My Mojo Workin'
The Monks - Black Monk Time

*purchased chiefly because the cover art is awesome

So far, the Stanley Turrentine and the Yusef Lateef are fantastic. Like, really, really amazing. Dusty Groove never lets me down. And now they're on MY STREET. Danger lurks.

Zoot Woman - Living in a Magazine

― willem (willem), Sunday, 3 July 2005 14:49 (twenty years ago)

The Fat Joe album, which is pretty great hardcore NY stuff, peppered with a few bubblegum ballads (no bad thing, of course.) "Beat Novacane" is really killer (he compares himself to Achilles, wtf?), and there's that "Lean Back" remix on it!

Sly & The Family Stone - I've been wondering how much working in a Folk Rock/Mainstream Pop setting as a producer bled into Sly's own music, cos it feels so much more whimsical (for lack of a better word) than most other Funk from that era. Like, I can imagine the occasional Sly track fitting in on "Come To The Sunshine" or whatever, which you could never say about James Brown or P-Funk.

The new Smog album. It's rewarding.

I listened to "One Thing" and "Signs" today to see if either of them have reached OMG Single Of The Year Summer Smash Time status for me yet. They haven't - they're both good, but not *that* good (yet.)

lots of pink floyd, obviously.

also isolee, kirchin industrial north (these two go well together; a simpler, more harmonious idea of industry apropos repetition), simon finn (bloody hell!), roisin m (ingenious but not as good as dani's album), kano (8 good tracks out of 16 - not a bad bargain, i suppose).

roisin m (ingenious but not as good as dani's album)

After about five listens, I realize that it's a good album, but it doesn't really move me very much. It's good, just not very emotional. :-(

I bought "Studio One Roots" and a Reggaeton comp today - neither have particularly caught my fancy (I have this sneaking suspicion that Soul Jazz actually ain't all that)

Lots of Serge Gainsbourg and Francoise Hardy ("Je Veux Qu'il Revienne" is an sbolutley killer track)

This morning I treated myself to a really nice combination- Prince's "When You Were Mine" followed by "Wir Singen Fuer Geld" by Dr.Ring Ding & Manu Rankin followed by The Divine Comedy's "Lucy". Hmmm.

― Daniel_Rf (Daniel_Rf), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 18:36 (twenty years ago)

Handel's Messiah: A Soulful Celebration, the Quincy Jones-led various-artists project from the early 90s ...five tracks in, still sounds rather weird (=not really interesting).

...May switch to Bertrand Burgalat meets A.S.Dragon soon, I suspect. In case Messiah continues the same ways it's been going so far.

playing lots today, got into it as eng were losing in the cricket, it 'fucks the pain away' oh yes esp serial based stuff:

bruno maderna dbl LP set - liked bits of the violin concerto but unable to connect though i suspect that i will.

charles wuorien disc on tzadik - 'new york notes' (for small ensemble + tape) is a winner!! cpl of other excellent pieces, found it easy to get into despite a tough-sounding appearance.

wolfgang rihm's 'time chant' as a companion to berg's 'violin concerto' that I talk abt a few posts above.

more nancarrow and hendrix - incidentally, playing these two, one after the other, sounds v right.

The Cybotron album is an old favourite from years back - it works as a strange halfway house between early '80s no wave-influenced electropop and late '80s techno. A kind of surface smoothness shadowing underlying disturbances. Junk Science by Deep Dish is one of my favourite '90s albums for more or less the same reasons.

Oooh, I've been meaning to buy Deep Dish because I read about'em in some House guide and then of course because I loved that single so much. I think that's what always attracts me in music; the disturbances. The friction. :-)

Good stuff, not quite as mind-blowing as I'd for some reason expected, but no dud songs so far (and it's almost over).

Before that:

Fruko y Su Tesos: "Soy Como Soy" the chorus of which has been going through my head the past few days, even though I hadn't been listening to it.

Earlier, Sun Ra's Out There a Minute. (I really do listen to that album over and over again and enjoy it a lot just about every time.)

vinko glokobar's 'discours' for 5 thrombones: 1 live with 4 pre-recorded, best multitracked piece, i reckon.

installed slsk in a 'moment of madness' yesterday morning - started checking out dancehall in '05 and already dug out some golden nuggets (w/the help of spizzazz, of course).

also d/l milton babbitt 'phenomena': a slice of pop-serialism (at 4mins).

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Thursday, 4 August 2005 15:54 (twenty years ago)

Hmmm, Bullet Lavolta sound mostly like a more commercial Alice in Chains, it's old school grunge rock (the singer even says stuff like "Guitar" to, er, cue a solo), but not much like what I know of Chavez (I have the album with "break up your band" on it). So, dude if that description floats your boat, then go for it, I got Swandive for pretty cheap on Amazon.

Right now I'm listening to the Atari's - I just found their myspace page and apparently their next record is gonna sound like Slowdive, Swervedriver and Doves - but I dig their Bon Jovi/Dawsons Rock style!

I got the new Sing Sing album (couldn't find the first one, nor indeed Bunnybrains or Magik Markers, so one of the least profitable record-shopping weekends in recent memory) - nice enough but I don't quite understand the rabid enthusiasm for it elsewhere (the Phoenix of the New doesn't fly boldly out of the Old as, for instance, the Shortwave Set do). Ironically, the track I liked most - "Going Out Tonight" - was the one most reminiscent of early Lush; a shoegazing perspective on the Streets' "Blinded By The Lights."

Otherwise went back to David Toop's tremendous Sugar And Poison 2CD compilation of troubled (ahuman?) soul music (reissue please, someone) and It's So Fine: Pye Girls Are Go! - 50 tracks on 2CDs of superb, warped '60s Britgirl pop, including Jackie Trent's astonishing (in several senses) interpretation of Scott Walker's "Such A Small Love."

Dino Jr. - You're Living All Over Me

I've been in a mood to listen to Dino Jr lately, which is a bit of a problem since I long ago lost the only Dino Jr CD that I had. I think I'm going to pick this one up next chance I get.

Recently I listened to:
Henry Threadgill's Zooid - Up Popped the Two Lips
Fantomas - Suspended Animation
and a mix CD that I made of some songs I've been liking lately

― o. nate (onate), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 14:12 (twenty years ago)

Contents of the mix CD:

Omoide Hatoba - "Go"
Brian Eno - "The True Wheel"
Missy Elliott - "Sock it 2 Me"
A.R. Kane - "Crack Up"
The Rezillos - "My Baby Does Good Sculptures"
M.I.A. - "Galang"
Os Mutantes - "A Minha Menina"
Slapp Happy - "A Little Something"

rockist - yeah (its the only recording of his solo piano availbale right? got it on the cheap racks a cpl of days ago) - the first 'free improvisation' has all these styles piled up one on top of the other. there's a very cowell-esque feel amidst all the jazz and blues (and the the recording of cowell's piano music has loads of tunes to go along with the more abstract stuff). one of those 'for fans only' that actually isn't.

david sylvian's excellent 'everything and nothing' compilation.

The only thing missing from that compilation is "Forbidden Colours". Maybe they should've dropped the karaoke-esque "Ghosts" "remake" and added "Forbidden Colours". That, I think, would've made Everything & Nothing just about the greatest single artist compilation out there. And I know, I know, many of the fans were griping about there not being enough Japan representation on that comp and here I am suggesting that the lone obvious Japan song on the comp be dropped, but -- it's supposed to be a David Sylvian comp, right? Not a Japan one? If one wanted a mixture of various Japan songs one would purchase Assemblage and In Vogue, see. Anyway. God I feel like listening to E&N now.

Currently I am listening to some Simple Minds. Greatest hits type stuff. I easily get addicted to "Up On The Catwalk" and after hearing it on the New Wave audio channel, I had to listen to that song again. And then I saw "Alive and Kicking" and decided, hey, I'd love to hear that too! And then there was "All The Things She Said", "Belfast Child", "Promised You A Miracle", and so on. Which I will be listening to very, very soon, oh yes I will.

(from slsk) carter's 'a mirror...' song cycle from '75 is pop-serial stuff at its best.

brian ferneyhough - 'sieben sterne' for organ and two assistants, 'time and motion study' for cello and electronics - both destroy everything in its path.

bargain stuff - amerie's touch, triffic four track stretch in the middle of this, obv '1 thing' also

chris dench i(k)sland[s] (NMC, ELISON ensemble) - mix of pieces for ensemble, solo. the one thing that stood out was 'funk', the 'interstellar space' tribute, the other pieces will take their time but I was already warming to the title track's uneasy softeness.

Saxomania, doing mostly instrumental covers of Hector Lavoe songs. The choruses are sung, at least some of the time, but the main vocal line is replaced by saxophone. It's better than it ought to be (or I have worse taste than I ought to have). It helps that most of these songs have become very familiar to me, so I am maybe filling out these versions with my memory of Lavoe's renditions.

David Murray & the Gwo-Ka Masters - "O' Léonso"

I didn't really like the album, but I still like this track. Kind of sounds Afrobeat to me, though there is probably some other specific genre handle.

been quite lucky in getting hold of some radio rips:

james dillon 'viriditas' for 16 singers was the piece I'd heard that made me start a thread on this composer - still sounds like a dream

ferneyhough 'incipits'
sciarrino's 'piano sonantas'

elsewhere i finally tracked down a copy of michael mantler's jazz composers orchestra LP in its mouldy, silver-coloured sleeve! sounds totally great and ON right from the off!

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 28 August 2005 14:26 (twenty years ago)

Sol Hoopii is great! (I'm sure Louis Armstrong and Django Reinhardt are as well, but Sol Hoopii connects more for me.)

Saint Etienne "Finisterre" bought this when i was checking for a copy of the newest one (did not find), and wow i love love love at least half of it esp. Shower Scene, Think it Over and B92. the Delays cd again that i haven't been able to find in about 6 months, the few decent tracks off Tom Hooper's solo album (he was in Grapes of Wrath and Ginger), a Stranglers best of - why doesn't anyone ever talk about what a great song Strange Little Girl is? An old Mute sampler. I also got the latest Norther Chorus "Bitter Hands Resign" but it's uh, pretty nothing. this second i'm listening to an mp3 of the Cardigans "My Favorite Game".

Are there any bluegrass comps you recommend, RS? the ones i have, "early days of bluegrass" vols. 1&2, are good but i want MORE.

― Ian John50n (orion), Sunday, 28 August 2005 17:18 (twenty years ago)

I'm sorry, I meant that I was calling one of the Zoviet France songs bluegrass as a joke, but I realized after the fact that that wasn't going to be clear. I don't know anything about bluegrass (and don't particularly like it), sorry.

Now I'm listening to the new Vico C, where he's at least making an effort to keep things varied (a roots reggae cut, a cha cha cha, a bad duet with Gilberto Santa Rosa, etc.).

Did La Laque play too? I wanted to go to this show but I had a birthday to go to.

― o. nate (onate), Monday, 29 August 2005 13:20 (twenty years ago)

RH, it's very good. It also features percussionists and (sometimes almost punky!) vocals some tracks. There's a mix of noise and intricate, sometimes jazzy melodic stuff. Some really pretty things, some really goofy and fun things. Some of it actually sounds kind of like virtuoso no wave or something. Lots of dynamics, quite a lot of detail. I listed it on the 80s poll suggestions thread.

― Sundar (sundar), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 01:29 (twenty years ago)

If La Laque is one guy with short red hair, one guy with a mohawk, one guy who looks like Frank Zappa, and the drummer, then, yeah, they played, too. Sorry I don't remember what the drummer looks like. But it may have been just as well that you missed them.

Band Of Susans Hope Against Hope

Billie The Best Of Billie (Why did I buy it? Because...)

CocoRosie Noah's Ark
(Very enticing, but you're advised to take it 2-3 tracks at a time)

Mr Fingers Introduction
(Gorgeous 1992 Deep House album from Larry Heard - includes "What About This Love?" and the coruscatingly sad "Survivor." Needs immediate reissue. Is it just me who thinks that Heard's voice sounds like Leee John Out Of Imagination?)

Paul McCartney Chaos And Creation In The Backyard
(Only #10 in the album chart - and the Stones tumbled from 2 to 13 so that proves something or other - but at least 75% of this record is exceptionally fine, even if one suspects in places that's more down to Godrich than it is to Macca)

Various Apres-Ski Top 100
(FANTASTIC 4CD compilation of four decades of dodgy Benelux pop which I found in Ealing Broadway Oxfam for £7.99 on Saturday - this should give you some idea of the hugely exciting life I lead at weekends - and some of this is going to be put to good use when my turn for DJing at Poptimism comes round, notably A Vier's "Honkie Tonkie Pianissie" which is, clears throat, Agadoo meets Back Home meets Poor People Of Paris meets Rockaria! meets Come On Eileen meets Chanel 9 Crazy Nights And Lazy Days)

Various Poptimism #5
("Fifteen number ones" it says on the front, though not including the cover star; an interesting and not at all predictable selection. HOWEVER! The version of "Land Of Make Believe" is a re-recording and not the Andy Hill "I Can Do Better Than Trevor" original with its childhood end punctum. Otherwise, all well and good; nice to be reminded that 5ive and A1 have in their time proved to be of some use)

Various Run The Road Volume 2
(Ha! Just when you'd all given up on grime, it becomes interesting again. Plan B's "Sick 2 Def" is a song of the year, and by some distance the most terrifying; Lady Sov's "Little Bit Of Shuuush" is mischievous and magisterial with its endless drop-outs and subversions; hear the Dynasty Crew's "Bare Faced Dynasty" and you'll believe that Test Dept have been reincarnated - it's the opposite of the Billy Bragg syndrome; how can I be so fascinated and moved by something with whose sentiments I disagree entirely?)

Burning Spear - Sounds From The Burning Spear. This is a comp of early-ish Studio One sides on Soul Jazz. Moving and souful.

V/A - Rabid/TJM Punk Singles - Jilted John! Ed Banger! Slaughter and The Dogs! The Distractions! V2!

The Fall Peel Sessions - Blindness and Clasp Hands from the final session on CD6. They're still mighty.

Yabby You - Dub It To The Top. it's essentially an album he did with Hugh Mundell in around 79 with extra cuts. Mixed in part by King Tubby.

Os Mutantes - Everything Is Possible (Best Of). Peerless. Maybe the greatest music ever.

The Names - Swimming + Singles. Since this stuff was on Factory/FBN/Crepuscule I should have heard it before now, but I only knew a couple of the singles and compilation cuts. This is awesome - swirling, mysterious and angsty with an engaging Martin Hannett production.

It's wonderful but it took me a while to get hold of it, if you see what i mean - its such a gigantic thing (though not in some imagined wagnerian sense) - even now I find it quite hard to hear the electronic sounds. there's a precision/mystery as to how/where they're placed.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 26 September 2005 08:32 (nineteen years ago)

Broadcast 'The Noise Made by People', 'Haha Sound' & 'Tender Buttons' (first time I'd heard the second one - ridiculously late, 'tis glorious. third's intriguing upon one listen, too)

Richard Hawley 'Coles Corner' (on MC's recommendation, and I agree it's very good indeed. My brother compares his style to a cross between Roy Orbison and Johnny Cashthe last track is incredily haunting. The guitar on one track clearly alludes to Pulp's "Sunrise" - did he play on that track? I presume so)

Paul McCartney 'Chaos and Creation in the Back Yard' (especially "Riding to Vanity Fair", perhaps the one stand-out-classic piece, very much in the tradition of "McCartney II" as well as Robert Wyatt, as many have perceptively said.)

Relatedly:

Paul McCartney 'Flowers in the Dirt' (a mess really, due to their being 4 production teams producing different tracks; moments of greatness, mind: the bridge to "Motor of Love", with its pure Wilsonian harmonies - but then this evaporates into a dullard 'stadium-filling' chorus. Also, "My Brave Face" at least sounds invigorated, and the ambition of "Ou Est le Soleil" is to be applauded, even if it's hardly great work - Macca goes rave? Whilst sawing a piece of timber, reciting a French mantra and backed by Trevor Horn on keyboards? :)), 'Off the Ground' (frankly, a dismal record, without much to sugar the pill. I suppose "Golden Earth Girl" shows a classically McCartney melody given something like full wing, but there's little else but worthy 'diatribe' rockers), 'Flaming Pie' (better song-craft than the above, but really that itself shows: 'craft' and chore are interchangeable. The whole thing depends on how much you can stomach the retrograde 'back to basics' ethos; it's a shame some of the celebrity guest solos/jams etc. couldn't have been clipped, as it at least could have been a concise nostalgia record. Overall, not on the same planet as "Tug of War", his last great George Martin-produced album), 'Driving Rain' (certainly has more of a consistent feel than most of the above, and is an admirable attempt to return to slightly more experimental song textures, but... it's absurdly overlong and the roughness of the production is a major bane. Oh, and ahem "Freedom", need I say more about that abomination, which brings the record to a terrible conclusion? "Heather", "Your Loving Flame" and maybe another or so are fine melodies, mind)

Overall, the best material from these 4 could probably comprise a good album, if given consistent production.

Kitchens of Distinction 'Strange Free World' (first thing I have ever heard by them, and it does entice me to want to hear more: "Gorgeous Love" is particularly fine, a kind of viscous barnstormer. They do sound somewhere in the hinterlands between Smiths/Orange Juice and AR Kane/4AD/MBV/Cocteaus. Also rather like Chameleons, with the balance of guitar/vocals in the mix, and the specific guitar style)

SOS Band 'The Best of SOS Band'

Pram 'Helium'

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark 'Architecture & Morality' (great record this, esp. "Sealand", though singling things out is almost missing the point)

Al Bowlly with Ray Noble & His Orchestra 'The Dance Band Years' (*excellent* 2-CD compilation; 50 of the more sedate 1931-6 Noble period. Can anything be more sublime than "By the Fireside"? Or indeed the whole style of this music?)

Kitchens of Distinction 'Strange Free World'

I think I've listened to this album at least once every few months for the past ten-plus years.

I guess I'm listening to:
New Pornographers
A bunch of Northern Soul comps
Devin Davis (not the hip hip guy, the other one)
Broadcast
The Mekons
The Fruit Bats

Julio, go see this and tell me what it's like

-- milton parker (milton.parke...), September 21st, 2005.

I did watch 'the bitter tears...' on thur. I haven't seen the film but the story was set up all thrashy-like. the music was made up of these repetitive brass figures at its core which I thought mirrored the main character that feels too much (pain, love, success... its all in excess). I was also looking at the ways in which this could have been an anti-opera (after all barry did study w/kagel) and so I wondered whether the libretto was just lifted straight from the film because there are a lot of lines, quite a bit that's said but I haven't heard that much eng-speaking opera but I think this could've worked better as a musical!! I like to see more composers having a go at these.

I had a gd time.

this ws broadcast today (i didn't hear it). radio 3 archive many of their programmes for a week so try to find it (had a quick look but couldn't).
