What are you listening to? 2021

xxp I must have had a brain fart when i was in FOPP when that Bright Phoebus remaster was just being withdrawn.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.

Thanks to Chinaski's post of a mix of resonant spaces music, I'm sitting around waiting for routes at my gig, allowing my mind to be blown by how awesome this record is again.

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.

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.

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.

Reunion lp by Brighton based indie band. It doesn't have the same continually refractive echoplexed guitar textures taht I loved about Euphoria, I t does continue with the singers intensely personal lyrics and delivery.
I have it on my 3 changer and I think it has so happened that I haven't had it turn up as consciously as the other 2 discs on there. So I'm not as familiar with it after a week. Don't think I like it as much as Euphoria but it's ok.

Eastern tinged kraut jamming. Nice angular but fluid take on rock , I enjoy the textures in the playing.
I think I found some live stuff from them a few years ago that I was really into. Not sure why it took so long to get a physical copy of the music though. This came as part of a 2disc set of the 1st 2 lps. Not heard teh 2nd one yet, have heard teh Eastern tinge has gone. THis 1st disc has the lp followed by an almost complete set of demoes for the tracks on it. & I've been listening through it all in one sitting that hasn't seemed like overkill.

THis is the box set still which for some reason has the first half of Rejuvenation on a disc with Cabbage Alley. I think Rejuvenation seems to be seen as about their best lp so you would think it might have been kept separate. But the box is 6 discs as it is.
Still splitting it seems a weird decision.
I think I'm more conscious of the tracks on Cabbage Alley which are pretty great. Some of teh tracks feature some pretty wildly heavy guitar though not sure it does tap straight into the same place as conscioulsy heavy rock bands did. maybe its coming straight from the source instead of being a recontextualised thing. BUT as per the first 2 discs this is superlative. One of the better sets I've picked up recently so glad i chose it to replace the Trees box that wasn't about to appear. Great Birthday present.
