^ Thx for the BBB heads-up, m. gai!
I should revisit that Laurel Halo there--looks like I just cherrypicked an Eli Keszler collab from it back when it came out; Chance Of Rain and In Situ are my go-tos of hers

interested in that June Tabor bbc sessions disc. Threw on Abyssinians the other day, such a beautiful haunting disc

xxp I must have had a brain fart when i was in FOPP when that Bright Phoebus remaster was just being withdrawn.
I thought I had just gone in there looking for a copy and been in Rough Trade East earlier that day doing the same. So not sure why I missed it. Do have the older release from the early 00ies. Must have been distracted by something or something.
Oh well.

Heard elsewhere that copies had been in there around teh time I was looking.

abyssinians is the one pre-nineties tabor release i've never heard! the on air collection works as a nice overview of what she was doing up to getting together with the oyster band for the first time... worth it just for the white rabbit cover where they get a nice vu-ish scrape & clatter going on. hopefully someone puts out an expanded radio sessions set some day.

bright phoebus is necessary in any iteration imo, but the domino reissue was beautifully done.

NOt sure how much this is connecting with me. It's semi interesting jazz-rock stuff not exactly transcendental krautrock as I might have hoped.
It might grow on me a bit. Does have its moments but just not grabbing me. I thought the lead off track which is based inNOrth African/MIddle Eastern stuff but still doesn't really engage fully, just seems to come out of some semi authentic sounding suff. maybe that is them too though.
Ah well, will give it another while.

3rd disc of this, which is remixes and short extensions of some previously released stuff . Need to have another look into what went into that.
Anyway do love the guitar on here which is incredible. Tension and release and things . Trying to think what other guitar does this in quite the same way and do wonder who has picked up specifically from this influence cos I think the psychedelic music they play together is really something else too. Great band, would like to know when the band first started getting the recognition they deserved since tehy didn't sell well at the time things were coming out. & as per usual with bands I really like I wonder what would have happened if they had stuck together in a pretty similar line up or is it inevitable that they would have just changed from what I like about them here.

Blooming fantastic . Wish there was a lot more like this

I'm wondering if there is a problem on the production on the release on that Embryo cd. It sounds distant and a biit quiet.
Could be that a different release version of that lp would connect a lot faster. I'm hearing bits I really like but it just doesn't seem to be as fully present as I'd want it to be.
That's the officially released copy protected Universal version. Wonder if that is a feeling constant with those, which would be a shame.

If in the mood for skronk and some really astounding percussion work, look no further.

Think there's only one bit that I thought was a bit naff.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f5/Concierto_Jim_Hall.jpg

This Jim Hall album from '75 is really, really good. Amazing sound and production. "Concierto de Aranjuez" is just a beautiful piece of music. Miles and Gil Evans said the softer you play the main melody, the stronger it sounds. The tone of Chet Baker and Paul Desmond playing that line is just an emotional dagger. Easily the best recording/track I have heard for the first time in a couple of years. The front half of the record is very good, but the title track I think is awesome.

had that on loop yesterday & actually it isn't so different to any other prime time (& therefore excellent) save the first two tracks which cheese it up a little. possibly less odd than the mushroomsy "free daytime-tv funk-lite" ornette & co managed on the prime time disc of "of all languages"
