I don't know anything about this band but they scratch a 90s indie itch well:

I forced myself to take an open-minded listen to the entire Steely Dan discography. Multiple listens now. I understand their appeal and import; i just don't like 'em -- "FM" is the only song that ever really did anything for me, and is likely the only Dan track i'll ever purposefully listen to again.

Stan Getz - working on all his pre-bossa nova recordings (mid-40s thru early 60s) - fine stuff.

Freelove Fenner - Do Not Affect A Breezy Manner

I understand their appeal and import; i just don't like 'em

I wanna hug you

...during the 3rd or 4th go-round on the Dan i kept imagining the studio sessions where likely accompanied by a group of guys trying to figure out new and exciting ways to jerk each other off.

the Pat Thomas Coming Home compilation. Worth the price of admission for "Mewo Akoma" alone, a fantastic 14-minute piece of music, but there's a lot of other good stuff as well.
Lijadu Sisters, Mother Africa and Horizon Unlimited
Laraaji, Bring On The Sun
I have listened to Ethiopiques 21 (Emahoy: Piano Solo) at bedtime so many times recently, I'm not sure I can fall asleep without it anymore.

i don't know where to mention it but it has just been a GREAT DAMN YEAR for the radiophonic workshop. i don't know why they don't get a lot of love - maybe because they're the '70s people and for whatever reason most people don't get behind the kingsland/limb/howell era as much as the '60s era, but they are killing it and the album they put out this year is great.

I've been working a playlist today of late 80s riffy rock like Thee Hypnotics, Soundgarden, The Almighty, The Cult, Danzig, Mother Love Bone, Black Cat Bone (D. Angstrom band - not uk one), GNR Use Your Illusions, Ozzy's Ultimate Sin, Screaming Trees & Nothing's Shocking.

Niiiice. To both of your posts.

Killer comp of West Indies soul with influences from Latin, French and African music. Tons of jazzy, groovy organ. I love it.

and then i spun tony malaby's "adobe" which is way too polite / indecisive sounding from well before he figured he was best off doing his nervy wayne shorter over itchy & scratchy luttenbachers GIMCP / tim berne post bop figures. so i turned it off.
and now i'm spinning this which is the grandest ceremonial caveman transportation funnel to some kinda arctic circle spirit world
