sick album is this.

xxp Karl is otm, Turiya Sings is the best of the 4 "devotional" Alice Coltrane releases

i'm glad you agree! especially because i think i only listened to the other 3 about twice each, whereas i am drawn to Turiya Sings like a moth to a flame. I've youtubed it dozens of times, at least. the comp is great, but it's very much a comp - it jumps from style to style, it's a collection of highlights for sure. but the Turiya Sings cassette is a sustained ~mood~. i have no idea what she is singing about, in specific; i think i may be disrespectful, in some ways, by using it as "work" or "concentration" music. but i can very much see how it could work as devotional music, because whether you like it or not, by 20 minutes in you will be in a more quiet place.

I bought thsi after seeing a biography of her on teh tv over the summer. Took an age to arrive for soem reason but it is pretty great. Have had it on or them on since thsi sisa 2cd set over the last couple of weeks. First disc has her appearance with hAarry Belafonte at Carnegie Hall or something similar followed by her first 2 US lps. NIce stuff largely in English. She has a voice that rivals Joan baez for purity of tone but I think she has more feeling. Love her voice and the music is pretty decent.
2nd disc hasa lotof music she was recording before she left South Africa and went into Exile for decades. Again pretty great, though seems like a lot of the jazz elements echo music from much earlier I'd connect the horns more to very early US jazz but they may link to something more traditional in South Africa i dunno,
Anyway glad I now have some music by her she is a pretty awesome singer. I should have bought stuff much much earlier

anothe rinteresting covermount frm Mojo magazine thsi time tracks realted to Radioheads Kid A lp. Quite diverse set of tracks though it does hang together quite well.
Could see somebody stumbling across a set of loose cds in a charity shop somewhere in a few years time and finding a lot of these Mojo related ones and suddenly hearing a lot of great music they didn't have a grounding for.Hope tat ahppens a lot. They dod a good job.
I'm not a big Radiohead fan , saw them once supporting levitation back in like 92 which pretty much dopes it for me.
But this is pretty great anyway.

listened to the first disc of this for a few days. Takes me back to the too few times i was at the club in the late 80s.
loved dancing to the jazz stuff Peterson was spinning, reconnecting with Eddie Pillar and stuff.
I started hitching the UK following bands around the time so stopped going to this and the |Son of Redneck the country and western club behind Selfridges because i tended to be hundreds of miles away from there.
Found out this set existed last year or earlier this, it has some pretty great stuff on it.
Can see why I liked dancing to Peterson's djing but would like to know what else he was playing at the time.

Had this in a previous cd form back in th e90s and have meant to replace it for a while .
I think it is jazzier and less avant than i was thinking, still quite abstract and a little abrasive.
Like it I think. not sure how recognisable the standard is on here All the Things You Are.

As I said on Rolling Reissues (having used news of re-pressing of this 2010 comp to post on RR)"

...just listened to the xpost Walter Gibbons comp, which, maybe track 2 aside, had almost 0 wasted seconds, and he's def not reliant on Arthur Russell etc. material; he brings orginally generic tracks toward the cosmic carwash as well, in an organic, seamless-seeming way---also has a ear for just the right conga sound, and not like AR is his only weirdo client either. That link again: https://waltergibbons.bandcamp.com/
Just now ordered the olde CD, which has a few more tracks than bandcamp's 12; Amazon digital only has 10.
Saw several complaints about quality of the first pressing, hope this new one is better.
Will prob say more when I get the CD and can listen to the other tracks.

niiiice. i splurged on a couple parsons LPs the other day (Grievous Angel, GP), waiting for them to arrive

So I am getting into Rush... and I must say that “fly by night” is a truly glorious song

I just read a review of a Chris Hillman memoir in the current Record Collector which looks like it ought to be very worthwhile reading. HIm having been a Burrito brother for longer than Gram parsons and all like that.

Incidentally I don't remember seeing that cover for the International Submarine Band, thought th eoirginal was them seated in b+w. Do th egraphics onf the sleeve there heavily reflect the time of the reissue.

only recently heard the third (gram-less) burrito bros album, which turned out to be better than i was expecting.

the isb i have is the eighties uk reissue on statik, so yeah re: graphics. i remember reading somewhere or other that it's also a different mix to the original release.
