Bhundu Boys, The Shed Sessions

― michaelangelo matos, Wednesday, 7 August 2002 19:22 (twenty-three years ago)

michaelangelo, how is the hustle! album?; i saw it today and was mighty tempted...big sale at store next door to me, so i've been stocking up... today's haul, a bit scattershot:
1. ornette coleman live @ golden circle vol.1
2. pulp love life
3. tindersticks simple pleasures
4. mobb deep infamous
of which the coleman is the big shocker for me; i don't know *anything* about jazz or coleman or whatever, but i love the quality of sound on this record; i wish i knew more about what they were doing.

― dave k, Wednesday, 7 August 2002 21:50 (twenty-three years ago)

Umm... Montgolfier Brothers' last album (promo, £3, Beanos Of Croydon) and the Soldier Girl EP by the Polyphonic Spree (£3.99, Virgin Megastore of Croydon). I cannot remember the two I bought before then... Guessing at something by Super J Lounge and The Failure of Arithmetic by Theory Of Everything (£1 each, Beanos Of Croydon).

Doggystyle, Snoop Dogg- given to me by a friend who had two copies, but I'll count it
Dead Ringer, Rjd2
Everybody Down, Matthew
Blue Lines, Massive Attack (replacing a long lost copy)

― lyra (lyra), Thursday, 8 August 2002 00:47 (twenty-three years ago)

ooh, RJD2! good choice i hear. i must investimagate soon.

1. Talking Heads - More Buildings And Food

2. Elvis Costello - Blood & Chocolate

both were $2 at the CHEAP NEW WAVE BIN outside Bleecker Bob's. but thanks to the $&@#*$! New Jersey heat, my turntable now only plays everything at 45. for those that thought David Byrne couldn't sound more shrill and wobbly, think again.

― Dave M. (rotten03), Thursday, 8 August 2002 01:22 (twenty-three years ago)

― gareth (gareth), Thursday, 8 August 2002 07:55 (twenty-three years ago)

FIve chances taken at the weekend, all of which paid off:

The Planets - The Beginning (UK hip hop bought out of curiosity, turns out to be very strong)
V/A - Rougher Than Rough (lesser-known (by me) vocal cuts of '70s Bunny Lee rhythms, predictably great though mastered from vinyl)
Little Lenny - Gun In A Baggy (trivvic late 80s dancehall)
First Choice - Hold Your Horses (unexpectedly great early 80s Salsoul thing)
Beach Boys - MIU Album / LA (and I say to the Beach Boys: this far and no further. Past this point lies "Keepin' The Summer Alive" and "Still Cruisin'" and I will not go there. Still some fantastic stuff on here.)

― Tim (Tim), Thursday, 8 August 2002 08:52 (twenty-three years ago)

Uh, that Planets LP is called "The Opening", duh.

― Tim (Tim), Thursday, 8 August 2002 09:05 (twenty-three years ago)

Prince Buster - FABulous Greatest Hits (unsurprisingly excellent music, beautifully cheap sleeve design too)

V/A - Hustle! (Excellent Summer music - very much recommended)

Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Welcome To The Pleasuredome (Bought in HMV sale, bit of a mistake - stick to the 12"s)

Xinlisupreme - Tomorrow Never Comes (Noisepop. Recommended by Jess. Good.)

― Tom (Groke), Thursday, 8 August 2002 11:30 (twenty-three years ago)

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 8 August 2002 13:04 (twenty-three years ago)

Giorgio Moroder - E=MC2 (Horrible falsetto vocal throughout, and very soft/twee tunes - but with occasional scalpel-sharp clarity in the sounds)

Giorgio Moroder - The Best Of Giorgio Moroder (From the ridiculous to the sublime then on into the preposterous...worth it just to finally replace my 25yo scratchy 7\" vinyl of \'From Here To Eternity\'. Now all I need to do is get the Chicory Tip version of S.O.M.F.)

Napoleon XIV - The Second Coming (60\'s childhood fave hahahohoheehee...)

V/A - Dr Demento 20th Anniversary Collection: The Greatest Novelty Records Of All Time (Well I don\'t know about that - but some genuinely odd things in there with the lead clunkers)

― Ray M (rdmanston), Thursday, 8 August 2002 13:07 (twenty-three years ago)

Giorgio Moroder - E=MC2

AND the first all digital album ever recorded, at least according to him. AND AND made with his pal Harold \"Axel F\" Faltermeyer.

I can't really answer this properly, as I have to go back three months to find the last time I actually *bought* any records and a list compiled backwards from there would probably overlap with the last list I submitted to ILM...

So, instead:

(three gifts)

Annette Peacock: An Acrobat's Heart
Lloyd Cole: Plastic Wood
V/A: Platipus - 10 Squared

(borrowed from library)

The Beatles: Rubber Soul
The Beatles: Revolver

Uh, let's...I can either say four Jandek albums or...

Matmos -- The West

Ramleh/Skullflower -- Adieu, All You Judges

Mum -- Everything Is Normal (I think that's the name)

...and something else that escapes my mind. Yay.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 9 August 2002 12:28 (twenty-three years ago)

*Ghost Dog-OST (the japanese import that actually contains the RZA's score, not the disappointing stateside release with a bunch of half-assed 3rd generation Wu-Tang affiliates shouting over the top)

*NIN-Head Like a Hole UK Single-solely for the "Opal" mix, unavailable elsewhere, as it is based on two brilliant Prince samples

*The Bellrays-Let It Blast

*The Birthday Party-Mutiny EP

X-Press 2: Muzikizum
bought based in part on ILM (i'm not up on dance music at all), so, ILM, thanks

kid606: down with the scene
I'm already imagining a point where this wears thin... funny tho

kid 606: ps I love you
very pretty

Girls Against Boys: you can't fight what you can't see.
A bad album from a mediocre band. I've already sold it. The songwriting is arbitrary, the guitars are big and dull, the drumming is sexless. I feel pretty dumb for buying it at all. (The New Wet Kojak side project is terrific, tho)

― GCannon, Friday, 9 August 2002 19:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Orange Juice - You Can't Hide Your Love Forever

DJ Shadow - Private Press
Suede - Sci-Fi Lullabies
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue (my jazz baby step as I am but a young'un)

That's ok, it took me just as long. Heck, The Postcard reissues were easier to find!

You'll find them here. Nice people too, I had no problems whatsoever.

Beach Boys - Smiley Smile (surprised at how great this is -- what a weird album, so off-the-cuff)

V/A - Indestructible Beat of Soweto (never owned this but liked it right away)

Stephen Malkmus - Stephen Malkmus (found this cheap used, very underacheiving but 1 or 2 great songs -- his slow ones are so much better.)

Palace Music - Lost Blues (bought this for "Riding" but I guess I wanted the studio version. Still pretty good, though.)

11 hours is a long time not to be ecstatic. Since I don't have an mp3, I figured the guy who put this together would send along something to pass the time whilst staring at the disco screen.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Sunday, 22 September 2002 11:26 (twenty-three years ago)

I've been trying to be good, but I couldn't resist Cheo Feliciano: Salsa Caliente de Nu York! on the British Nascente label, at Tower Records for $13.99. I'm not quite finished listening to it, but I am more than willing to recommend it. As the liner notes admit, this collection is geared more toward those looking for upbeat material, but Cheo Feliciano is probably the single artist who succeeded in making me warm up to boleros. But as the liner notes also say, he handles any type of material quite well, and I enjoy him in either context. This is a very nice collection and I think that Cheo Feliciano would appeal to fans of 70's soul, as well as those with more of an interest in Latin music. The tracks from Cheo, the only one of his albums I have, lose a little from being removed from the overall context of that album, which works extremely well as a unit, balancing smooth boleros with crazed rumba inspired salsa numbers; but they still sound good. What a fantastic singer.

I'm also gonna have to get my own copy of "the very best of meat loaf".

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 23 September 2002 17:07 (twenty-three years ago)

Tonight I bought Too Much a collection of songs performed by Eddie Palmieri and Cheo Feliciano. Pretty nice.

Chino says that Tito Gomez is bubble-gum salsa. :( But I don't care.

Also, Julio sent me Cecil Taylor's Silent Tongues, but I haven't listened to it in its entirety yet. I'm not sure I'm destined to be a Cecil Taylor after all, but it's not so bad. It will take many listens for me to make any sense of it, I suspect.

jess- somehow i thought you might ask. saw what you said abt this rec. and i remembered when i got it yesterday.

I only heard the first side of it yesterday evening but it's a good synth pop/soul rec but I have to listen more to it to say any more. I like his voice too. i'm definetely interested in what their rough trade era stuff sounded like for sure.

2. McCoy Tyner "Real McCoy"
3. Wayne Shorter "Speak No Evil"
4. Matt Wilson "As Wave Follows Wave"
5. Spain "I Believe"

Henri Chopin's Revue OU: 5 x LPs of sound art from the likes of W. Burroughs, byron gysin, bob cobbing (there's abt 20 artists in total). Beautiful picture discs. If you have 65 quid then go and get this becuz its only a limited edition of 300 and it'll prob run out in a month.

the alternative is a 4 CD box set (material on 5 Lps) with a booklet (this didn't come with the LPs).

On the other hand there is a Henri chopin LP (an extra) with the 5. That doesn't come with the CDs.

I chose more music instaed of more info.

so that's the last 6 i bought.

Morning Glory: The Tim Buckley Anthology (a double)
21st Century Drum & Bass 02 (three CDs)

Neko Case - Blacklisted
(I've been obsessed with her voice since "Letter from an Occupant" and now I've seen a picture too - woot!)

Cabaret Voltaire - Original Sound of Sheffield '83 / '87. Best of;
("Kino" rulez - electroclashers can ape styles and instrumentation, but they're nowhere near this level of evil funk - some of the best snares evah)

Dntel - Dream of Evan and Chan remixes
(this is one of my top 3 songs of 2001 - finally someone gets inspired by MBV and doesn't just make a pretty dirge - and now it gets an awesome Superpitcher remix! - and Lali Puna! - and Safety Scissors!)

VA - Bingo Beats 2 - mixed by DJ Zinc
(the best rave music I've ever heard - nu-rave? - an utter indulgence and somewhat uncool in it's beat reductivism - big beat 2-step?)

I'm very happy with these.
