The inverse of Music to get stoned to

(^ not actually Taylor's version of that, fwiw)

Scott Walker, "rosary"

I've always found a real clarity and balance with late `60s/early `70s soul jazz. Stuff in the vein of what Cannonball Adderley's group was doing around the time. Just really fun, feel good music. This is one of my favorites in that regard.

Bill Evans, too. Mostly the early `70s stuff with Eddie Gomez and Morty Morell. There's a fantastic live set from `72 called Serenity that I have on vinyl. I need to digitize it, because it's really one of my favorite things his trio ever did.

And finally, the Vini Reilly album from 1989 by the Durutti Column always had an air of calm lucidity to it for me.

Feeling the jazz angle. Maybe some Impluse sessions...Coltrane and McCoy Tyner

Impossible thread IMO cuz mostly everything sounds better bungled

I would say Judee Sill's first record. It's deeply sobering

Jandek

techno

enter the haggis's one last drink

Hmmmmyeah, this is bollocks.

^ well yeah it was a generalization and it could use some clarification. Plenty of music sounds *terrible* high to me or I grow impatient with it

I don't even agree with the statement really, meh.

"lust for life" iggy pop / david bowie

Not necessarily clean sounding but on message

What about Joan Shelley kind of stuff

Oh man, 'Quit It' is a fucking masterpiece. One of David Axelrod's best moments, to be sure. The rest of that album is good, if a bit scatter-brained.

McCoy Tyner is a good call, as well, even though I'm pretty lacking in his catalogue as a leader. I have a double live album called Enlightenment that is so good, I kind of feel like any further venturing into his catalogue would ultimately lead to disappointment.

I will throw out an in-general mention for Abdullah Ibrahim, as well.

like, temporarily sober, or quitting the sauce for good? the distinction is important.

Clapton "After Midnight"

Austin have you heard Inception? It's Tyner's first studio album I think and is very smooth and meditative

No, the only other albums of his I have are The Real McCoy and Supertrios. Outside of his work with the quartet, he's been a seriously neglected player in my listening life.

any music you listen to while driving

through with sleeping on the sidewalk, no more beating my brains
with the liquor and drugs, with the liquor and drugs

ha! Sheryl Crow - If It Makes You Happy

Tyner's run of albums from about '69 - '79 is astounding. They range from good to excellent for the most part and are in general cheap and easy to find. About the only stuff I've heard that doesn't do it for me are his early albums on Impulse, which are merely pleasant. Extensions is a must with an unreal lineup (Alice, Wayne Shorter, & Elvin Jones). Lots to explore.

To the original question: Johnny Cash--Sunday Morning Coming Down

To Austin: The start of Tyner's solo career post-Coltrane shows a lot of growth, but the first several are pretty typical or interchangeable with many of the Blue note dates of that time. There are some gems on Real McCoy, Time for Tyner, and Tender Moments, but for me the big leap forward came with Expansions, and then a bigger leap forward with Extensions. The "Enlightenment" era, for me began with that one. Wayne Shorter and Gary Bartz on reeds with Alice Coltrane on piano & harp, Elvin Jones on drums and Ron Carter on bass. In the discography, "Asante" appears as released after that one, but it, like Wayne Shorter's "Moto Groso Feio" were kept in the Blue Note vault in those days as BN was having both financial problems and problems deciding which direction they were going. The next album released after Extensions was when Tyner split to Milestone under the production of Orrin Keepnews. Sahara and Song for My Lady were released in 72, as was the solo LP Echoes of a Friend. If you like the ostinato based, modal music of Enlightenment, then the whole Milestone run of the 70s will probably appeal as well. Atlantis is another live LP like Enlightenment, also a double LP. Asante, released by Blue Note to trade on Tyner's rejuvenated popularity on Milestone, was a one off with the under recorded Andrew White on a variety of reeds and Ted Dunbar on guitar and a woman named Songhai on vocals. It's also worth it, as is the African-Latin infused Sama Layuca with Bobby Hutcherson partnering on vibes.

The collected works of Henry Rollins.

"absolution song" - arbouretum

john cage's early piano music like "in a landscape"

ambient music for sure

I am not quite sure what this thread is about but if it is about music which makes you feel better when you are hungover one of my faves has always been this mortal coil's blood. there is something very comforting in that darkish passionate music which gives you back strength. perfect to come back to planet earth after having been away in the skies before.

Silver Jews are excellent hangover music but they don't exactly inspire me to stick to the straight and narrow.
