I checked twice before posting this one but seriously, next time you get lifted listen to The Quintet: Jazz at Massey Hall. Bud Powell will take you to new places.

In the middle of testing the AR Kane - 69 shout-out above tonight, and I can verify the claim. This is phenomenal. Recommended experience.

A.R.Kane i is also really good as are the e.ps which were collected on a 2cd set a couple of years back.Supercalifragilisticexpialadocious or not as case may be.

i never understood the fuss about a.r.kane. maybe i didn't listen to 69 in the right circumstances...

Context. When they showed up *nothing* else sounded like them. They were being stupidly hailed as a "black jesus & Mary Chain" but, besides the judicioususe of guitar feedback, nothing could have been further from the truth. They were doing the layers of blissful guitars and swoony vocals some years before MBV and others took up the mantle.
― Acid Hose (Capitaine Jay Vee), Tuesday, 20 June 2017 15:03 (six years ago) link
But it's cool. I know plenty of folks who can't stand AR Kane and then there are those few, like me, who'll be forevah smitten.

A.R.Kane were grouped into a thing that was dubbed Oceanic Rock with some other bands who were pretty unique at the time.I think Hugo Largo, Saqqara Dogs and a few others. THink that was about 88 so before Loveless.
― Stevolende, Tuesday, 20 June 2017 15:07 (six years ago) link
That Oceanic Rock thing is a Simon Reynolds moniker. I *do* remember AR Kane being the first people I ever heard use the term "Dreampop" (describing themselves).

Apparently you must also be stoned to list AR Kane records for sale.
BTW, I think I may have been that last purchase back in August.
― brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 20 June 2017 23:06 (six years ago) link
Loveless was much better than any of that... hold on though, I've never heard of Saqqara Dogs.

His voice is the hardest part to tolerate for a full album. They should have done more instrumentals.
― brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 20 June 2017 23:47 (six years ago) link
huh i think his voice is fine, lovely even.

When I was a kid I checked Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man out of the library thinking it was the H.G. Wells sci-fi novel! Anyway, I read about a hundred pages, fully expecting the unnamed downtrodden African American narrator to eventually become a scientist, invent an invisibility potion and go nuts or something. Which he never does, obviously.
Regardless, the book's introductory first chapter smells strongly of sci-fi: Invisible Man lives anonymously in a hidden room in the sewers filled with thousands of light bulbs powered by stolen electricity. He describes how one time he tried to bum a cigarette and someone gave him a marijuana cigarette instead; how he got stoned and listened to Louis Armstrong and his perception of time changed profoundly and things like that. Twelve year old Liam was all like, "Whoa! Weed makes music better!?", a fact he never forgot and eventually found was perfectly true.
Anyway, I'll second Invisible Man and nominate Louis Armstrong's protostoner Hot 5's and 7's as basically peerless weed music. Even the lo-fi time-weathered nature of these records, and also the fact that they are artifacts from what is basically an alien culture at this remove, adds for me a kind of inimitable smoky/ghostly mystique to it all. The stuff has aged like the finest of weed-flavored wines.

If you're into Achim Reichel The Insides' Euphoria lp has a lot of echoplex sounding guitar. Lovely lp alongside a 20 something female singer's angst filled lyrics. Well worth checking out, not sure about getting stoned to.

Recommend a few breakaway tracks?
― calstars, Friday, 23 June 2017 11:58 (six years ago) link
honestly, this totally depends on my mood AND the type of weed. Mental high = probably cerebral music of some kind: modern classical, Philip Glass, arch avant prog, absract electronic music. OR just listening to whatever I'm into at that moment, and probably hearing new things. When the high wears off, something a lot less demanding of my attention, and probably something I'm really familiar with.
Body high = do I even want to listen to music, or just watch TV? Or talk. If music, then probably something that goes well in the background (and again, familiarity is key). I feel like when a lot of people talk about "music to get stoned to", this is the state they mean.

Man, I know they just collected all of AR Kane's singles into a handy 2-CD set, but if they re-released 69 with the Up Home EP it would quickly become one of the most amazing discs in my collection

As far as music for stonings, I'd prob recommend Erykah Badu's Mama's Gun and The Sea and Cake's The Fawn for starters
