    I have Silent Running ready, ripped, and waiting on my 'pooter.
    I think one retro sci-fi film per week is a much as I can take though. So, Freeman might have to wait till next week!
    That's ok, he's an expert at waiting! Hehe.

    Vijay Iyer and Wadada Leo Smith - A Cosmic Rhythm With Each Stroke



    Fantastic, just fantastic. Piano (mainly) and Trumpet duets. New(-ish) guard and old guard making what could have been a bit cold or self-consciously avant-garde into something deep and human.

    I'm going to be playing this a lot over the coming weeks.

    Really benefitting from this today.
    And surprisingly so. :-) Had totally forgotten what it sounded like, until I hit play 2 minutes ago.
    Toots and the Maytals, I thank you.

    Rhiannon Giddens - Freedom Highway



    Give yourself a treat and give this a listen. I've only listened to it on my laptop, but it's great (just a bit ;-) )

    Treat myself I did. Likey mucho.

    I'm so glad you like it Chris. On the strength of about three plays of the album now, I'm not expecting to hear much better this year.

    I can hear it is of high song writing quality, but not really my cup of tea...

    It's not usually my kind of thing, but there's something about it that transcends my usual prejudices.

    I just found some Wibutee on Spotify. I have their second album, but not the first or third.

    I'll have to see if they're on Tidal, too. Or maybe I'll see if I can pick them up on CD.

    Cameron Graves - Planetary Prince



    Sounds pretty good over my laptop speakers.

    It's a Madchester type of a morning...

    Happy Mondays "Performance" (from "Bummed", one of my favourite albums).

    And completing the set the good ol' Inspirals....


    (Watching that I was reminded that back then I had hair, and dance moves, like some of those fellas... :-D )

    I'm back on this lot:



    I think I like them more now than I did back then.

    Where next? Of course... Mark Stewart unites with Adrian Sherwood and Tackhead members for stuff that's even more scary:



    As The Veneer Of Democracy Begins To Fade. 

    Could be just right for 2017, ne c'est pas?

    Blimey.
    After that, I've had to take this antidote several times today to make myself feel better...

    This "silent" version of Mick and Dave stopped me going to sleep last night.
    I couldn't stop chuckling.

    Blimey is about right. I've been trying to summon the courage to play it on the big system in case it makes more sense there!

    The Golden Palominos



    Defo reliving my yoof this week. More post-punk strangeness, this time from a NY crew. I used to have a vinyl copy of this with a different cover.
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    OK, avant rock. Enough!

    Move over and let this in:



    Ornette Coleman - Art of the Improvisers (the YT is track 1)

    I have their Drunk With Passion album lurking somewhere, on LP. Made me think of School Of Fish...

    Somehow School of Fish just swam by me back in the day (see what I did there?), but I can see the similarity.
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Hmm. 1991, I think it said. Got me thinking...



    The Chili's finest hour. So much to love here.

    Enjoyed that one.
    Odd coincidence too...
    The opening track on the first album from Dreamfish, the "squeaky, burbly, sequency, ambienty thing" of a few posts back, was called "School of Fish"... It's possibly my favourite "squeaky, burbly, sequency, ambienty thing" ever. Love meditating to it. The lovely deep bass that kicks in at around 13:20 is beautiful.

    Krokophant - Krokophant III

  • DocfosterDocfoster
    When I heard this when I was 16, I thought that the second half (from 12:40) was probably the best thing I'd ever hear.
    Still sounds pretty good... :-)
    From 22:20, played loud, it's pull-your-pants-down-awesome!

    Fleetwood Mac (1969) "Rattlesnake shake" live.
    Apparently it's a song about masturbation...

    Jane Ira Bloom - Early Americans



    I like this a lot (listening on Spotify, so it looks like a purchase), with Mark Helias (bass) and Bobby Previte (drums) playing fantastically. This is actually the first time I've listened to Bloom, and I'm impressed. Perhaps a bit like Steve Lacy, but warmer and less dry/intellectual, I'd say.

    I love these kind of trios. Leaving out the piano often seems to free up sax players to do their best and most interesting work.

    With you on that. Something grates a little.

    He never quite does it for me. 

    I like to go back a generation to John Hiatt, when in comes to country/rock songwriters. Now, that's an idea!
