xposts: did mostly get the fjb lp for the clive palmer connection, but the trad arrs are good & berryman's tracks ain't bad either (think i may have heard some of his solo stuff on comps but have no memory of them). j johnson vox are excellent... seems she only ever appeared on this and the non-palmer follow-up.

now on a dagmar kick <3

I have that somewhere. Haven't played it in ages so hope it's still ok.gor it in a sale in the early 90s.
Think she had a couple of tracks live on a Bbc2 arts programme around the time that came out. Think I saw it anyway. Songs from there.

Okay, you're going to have to spill the beans about that one---whatsitlikeman??

esp disk / chocolate monk lo fi hippie dada drone & klang. superbly half-assed. long stretches of nothing. feedback.

also the squeezing of rubber duckies (though that could come under the rubric of dada). still patiently awaiting the rediscovery of the perhaps mythical fahey/crayola studio recording from that period.

Okay, wtf is that last one? Assume the image before is from same album?

Googled and found this

Flop - Regrets: One of Seattle's finest power pop acts never found success

Amazing how the name tells the whole story.

Ha! The one above it is Fastbacks - Zucker (on Sub Pop)

Have seen them referred to as the French Fairport---what is this album like? Good gatefold!

xpost: i'd be inclined to say a closer analogue would be steeleye span, rather that fairport convention. that's their 4th album & 3rd self-titled where they start embracing prog elements to a greater extent (earlier ones i've heard being more in the trad &/or folk-rock vein) though still retaining the folk base. yet to hear their later releases, but i believe they get even more proggy from there on out.

more african/swedish crossover with dyani sticking to keys/vocals throughout.
gets kind of poppy & proggish in places but will listen to anything with dudu pukawana on it!

alternating between a huge playlist of recent UK jazz and a huge playlist of Aleksi Perälä.

Original US release of What We Did On Our Holidays as Fairport Convention (guess the originally s/t debut hadn't come out in America yet?)

This LP plays itself in my head everyday, all my life since first listen, without warning:

Oho---what's your take on that??

love delbecq & eldh - burgwinkel was new for me but i'm digging his tight nick fraser / lillinger style. nice ebb & flow. one composition a little twee but on the whole grand

one guy who is currently in DSO and two who were in the early version I think
