is it an edit of Mike Theodore Orchestra - Cosmic Wind ? I think I heard it on beats in space when he was on.

i wasn't sure what i was gonna think about the Map of Africa album. most of the songs i'd heard were on the pub-rockier side (Thin Lizzy, Pato). but after the first 3 or 4 songs, it gets into that smoothed out, balearic rock style that i was hoping for and i think it's pretty rad.

the most annoying thing about the map of africa album is that it's pressed so quietly.

I think my favorite track on Map of Africa is "Freaky Ways" (and Dirty Lovin' but I heard that a long time ago)
some of the lyrics are pretty cringeworthy .... I guess that's what they were "going for" at times but my wife laughed out loud at the title track
gonna make a map of africa all in your pretty head, babe gonna make a map of africa as I already said, babe

oh and whoever talked about Chilly's For Your Love (selzer I think) big-time THANKS, I found it over the weekend and it's awesome
― dmr, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 23:28 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah but "map of africa" (the song) is yoga flame for all time just for gonna find out where your delta lies
also make sure you get "for your love (suite)", it's waaaaaay better than the 4-minute version.
― moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 23:30 (sixteen years ago) link
I got some german comp. lp that has the 9-minute version
― dmr, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 00:07 (sixteen years ago) link
i think i already posted this here, but:
a friend asked harvey what "map of africa" meant. he said it was "the wet spot left on the mattress after lovemaking."

What's the "leo thread"? Also, I've never know cause I just don't get it, but judging from the above, I think I now understand "yoga flame for all time" to be a positive statement. Anybody care to to explain?

A freind dropped this on me the other night: Andreas Vollenweider - Behind The Gardens ... Behind The Wall ... Under The Tree ...
Fucking GREAT swiss harpist balearic fusion smoked out electro acoustic voyage.... -- g®▲Ðұ, Tuesday, May 15, 2007 12:23 AM (2 weeks ago) Bookmark Link
does anyone remember when andreas vollenweider was pretty much universally loathed? my co-workers reminded me that CTI was the same way once upon a time... -- BATTAGS, Tuesday, May 15, 2007 1:37 AM (2 weeks ago) Bookmark Link
ha. i picked up a vollenweider album yesterday for a buck and both of these descriptions are so true. it's like the coolest/grooviest, but at the same time cheesiest thing i've ever listened to.
but also on the top of my stacks near the record player i have 2 michael franks records, something by japanese smooth jazz group Casiopea, jan hammer's miami vice soundtrack, Sky (electro-cosmic new age), and michael columbier's "old fool back on earth" (double album/ four part operatic suite that sounds like Escalator Over the Hill filtered through keith jarret & a bit of disco). seriously wtf. i'm so torn on all the music i listen to lately.
― jaxon, Thursday, 31 May 2007 00:46 (sixteen years ago) link
also, how is it ok that i listened to that Dire Straits album totally unironically and totally dug it just now? it kinda reminds me of MoA :-/
