Daniel Menche - Hover

Long piece composed from recordings of a high school choir singing different vowel-shapes at varying volumes. It's pretty cool.

Ambrose akinmusire, Johnny jewel, Michael Mayer, Ellen allien, gas (all new)

Want to spend more time with new Sparks & mountain goats but haven't been in the mood

which i'm pretty impressed by. A bit more psychedelic and Byrdsy than the next stage they developed into as BOC and stuff I'm surprised i wasn't as into last time i listened to it. Which is quite a while back I think.

Think I have one of the 3 early BOC lps that I think are pretty necessary so will need to get the other 2.

s/t through Secret Treaties are essential IMO

I'm listening to a vinyl copy of this

which has taken an inexcusably long time for me to find. Or at least find in the real world. You know audiophiles always talk about "bloom" and are often full of shit but when he lets a chord ring I kinda believe

THere was a 2cd compi of Terry reid called Superlungs which had the 1st 2 lps plus a load o f bonus stuff on it.
It's also on the Original album series along with River, the 1st and a couple of later things.

I have that comp, it's awesome! Gotta get that Orig Album thing just to have the later albums on CD.

gong live etc

really need to get hold of the cd I think. Not sure how I missed it so far. Seems to have got a decent remaster back in '99

^excellent... the follow-up album they did in the eighties is also worth checking out.

I probably need to get a couple of the new Yoko reissues. Anybody know how good the sound is?

I was curious about that too but I can't imagine the Steve Hoffman forums will be checking in on those except to be racist and misogynist and complain that she broke up the Beatles

Patriotic music released in July 2005. Henry Kaiser / Elliott Sharp / Lance Carter / Eric Mingus / Queen Esther / Melvin Gibbs

Mingus is occasionally over the top with his vocals, but the missing Gibbs Brother (Melvin) is stellar throughout.

i listen to this constantly. it speaks to the music of my soul. Takako Minekawa "Maxi On" (2000). very pretty and childlike psychedelic keyboard pop with vintage synths. sort of in the vein of Devo but with more Eno and Ono. that early 2000s love for retro synths is all-time.

have not heard Approximate Infinite Universe. i love that album cover. what is it like?

i am listening to Feeling the Space right now it has a very solid 70s rnb soul pop studio sound and arrangements. it has Yoko writing beautiful and deep songs. Growing Pain, Woman of Salem, Run, Run, Run, Woman Power. by this point in time she was a more productive songwriter than her husband. she had a really keen ear for pop songcraft and she used her large platform to make this revolutionary feminist noise punk pop music. Yoko Ono is so cool.

first play, but really liking this. voice is remarkably unchanged, given his travails, from Only Ones days.

I went down a Charlie Haden wormhole this weekend, and amongst some other rather lovely things it lead me to discover Egberto Gismonti and his wonderful Solo album from '79, which I have been playing non-stop since.

And Haden's Silence is such a beautiful song, and the Dino Salluzzi bandoneon version is very haunting as well.

and Gismonti's Sol Do Meio Dia is another delight.

Charlie Haden is a fine place to go exploring. Ornette's Crisis brings chills, and his acoustic and electric work with Keith Jarrett...looks like I need to cue up some Charlie. I also love the rowdier stuff like Liberation Music Ochestra. Golden Number, Quartet West. The trio with Geri Allen & Paul Motian. Arbour Zena with Jarrett. From free jazz, to bebop, to gospel, American folk songs, there wasn't anything he could not be rock solid on. DAMN. Hours upon hours upon hours of Charlie Haden.

^^^

Absolutely spot on j arthur, I couldn't agree with a post more!

My go to Haden is his "Closeness" Duets album - particularly 'Turiya' his tribute to Alice, which breaks me up.

"Last Dance" together with Keith Jarrett has a great relaxed vibe.

Velvet Underground 10/1/69
Wish my computer wouldn't keep losing this hard drive but got it back for the time being and therefore able to listen to this.
Wisha lot more John Cale era material would miraculously appear. But this is great enough.
