What are you listening to? 2025

on the right board this time!
here we find our "What are you listening to? 2025" thread, wherein we enthuse our muse, open a window to our listening routines & contexts, celebrate cover art through the ages, etc

so, yesterday i gave lee rockey's "music" LP a spin: https://i.discogs.com/1nynurbzgPNrGAkWVhYmXw7ttPH6Z-Z2sR3E-Z6EEY4/rs:fit/g:sm/q:90/h:398/w:398/czM6Ly9kaXNjb2dz/LWRhdGFiYXNlLWlt/YWdlcy9SLTkxOTY5/NC0xMTcyODU2MjU5/LmpwZWc.jpeg which is luminous gloopy free improv, like a less droney, more effervescent taj mahal travellers, or a bucolic corsano/yeh thing.
this morning i am jamming TOAH DYNAMIC's "movement" LP cos i need more half-assed shambling DIY folk hip-hop in my life https://i.discogs.com/kWmezfS1KGKCZdyTwq4nR0Xv8wVEnF4tWoweYAhgsAo/rs:fit/g:sm/q:90/h:550/w:550/czM6Ly9kaXNjb2dz/LWRhdGFiYXNlLWlt/YWdlcy9SLTIzNTM1/My0xMjg4MDE3NzQ5/LmpwZWc.jpeg

I was wondering if I needed to start this thread since i had for the last couple of years i think. So glad somebody did.

So, stacks of that hard rock stoner stuff from the turn of the 70s. A bit of reggae including Dadamah , Dennis Bovell's 4th Street Orchestra, some electric blues. Santana. Hendrix etc.
Some titles I got from a rermegacorp £5 sale.
W
Might be more specific when i get up.

Dadawah is the reggae guy, Dadamah were a post-punk experimental band. I have cos by both within a couple of feet of here.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/15e23f37bec5feb713892597e63cbb22/2618034ooky Tooth's first lp. Showing the influence of Vanilla Fudge, blues, soul etc.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/a7d7a067824b8831c0e712875de94969/1212354
Angular avant-prog from the Rermegacorp buy.sounded interesting in their description. I think I may have previous lp Hen's Teeth somewhere too.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/a2a25694571c37d784924c5c2eacae1c/1238224
fusion era Latin jazz stuff live in Japan. Very electric

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/4a8d57131949e51e6ff1fd56247d34a6/1893894
1st lp by California desert rock band. I read that one of the first lps that guitarist Josh Homme bought was Iggy & The Stooges' Raw Power which confirms, or slightly alters what I'd taken to be an audible influence. I think I would have plunked for the earlier lp Fun House being in there though but Raw Power remains one of Homme's fav lps.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/122b76971d72486af562a4fe90d58873/8164217
fvrom 1972 by inflouential electric blues guitarist. I'm hearing a lot more organ than the horns listed on the sleeve. Pretty good set though.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/ce8a9b08aebaf3ec337446fdd425f8c7/4706453
recent Dr Bird reissue of this set which has the version of the Peace and Love image shown here as the sole cover era. This image is based on a photo that was the cover of the original lp release.
Have mainly listened to that set which is loose music heavily based in the Nyabinghi drumming.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/0b88f6a8ffb11e4d3cb0b2974b78785c/8640070
2020 pairing of the heavy folk influenced studio lp and the legal bootleg lp taken from recordings from the tour supporting it.
Hadn't listened to the studio lp in an age and it is deeply intense. I was at some of the Uk dates that Feel Good Now the live lp was recorded at. I think it still stands up.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/45405c9d8362e66584274e249bcfd876/10117031
Detroit heavy stoner rock stuff. One of the archetypal reductio ad absurdum heavy rock lps of the time. Their live lp may be even more mindnumbing dunt in a good way but the first 2 studio lps are very recommended for this.
The 90s band Gorilla recreated the cover for one of their own releases. Showing conscious influence being picked up.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/6803d344010901dc1cd3495ef8cfc5d8/11699666
Boston based young psychedelic band from the late 60s. I refound this recently and am not sure why I've left such an interval since previous listening.

I may add some more later.

Self-titled debut and only album from Illinois jammy, bluesy rockers Farm. One of those private press records that actually lives up to the hype, imo.

Totally 80s up in here today, barring the first selection:

Roxy Music- Manifesto

Duran Duran - Rio
New Order - Low-Life
Depeche Mode - Construction Time Again

Don't think I've ever listened to this one before - quite an unusual line -up - alto sax, bass, drums and two guitars. veers into slightly vaporous Garbarek territory at times, but funky Charlie Haden (beautifully present in the mix) keeps things kicking.

1976 4th lp by Boston rockers. This has them getting to about their heaviest. I've been meaning to pick up a couple of their early albums for a while and this turned up in a charity shop. May pick up previous 2 if I find them.
I do love early 70s hard rock, preferably a couple of years earlier still with a heavy dose of psychedelia in the mix.

1967 Decca label mopping up of outtakes etc once the band had moved onto the next label Immediate.
Shows how hard the band rocked as well as some protopsych moves.
I think this was mainly recorded in 1966 so I think it shows they were ahead of the curve even if they were being dismissed by some as teenyboppers.
Cover must be same photoshoot as the Decca s/t lp since band are in exactly the same clothing.

mid90s compi of 30s/40s jazz. Has several tracks by a bunch of artists, Fats Waller, Louis Jordan, Cab Calloway and Jelly Roll Morton. Morton has part of a talk on Tiger Rag included which is very interesting.
I quite like a lot of the pioneering jazz from this era. When it was made it was forward looking , tried to be hip and up to date to the extent of cutting edge. Possibly not all of this stuff. But it does tend to get looked back on in a more ossified way, the idea of trad jazz as something to replicate etc. recreate some mythic authenticity. As opposed to something to pick up on, possibly incorporate some elements of but be aware that a different time is a different context. So deep dives into recreating context will be artificial. I picked up a load of jazz from a similar era a couple of years ago that I really enjoyed at the time and need to listen to again.
