I really like them on that and throughout that period.

There's a large collection of other live sets by them up at archive.org

Wow, never would've thought to look for them on archive.org (more of a Dead spot in my mind), cheers for the tip!

Just finished work and spent the last twenty minutes listening to a dude facetime with his bro about potential purchases so now I'm listening to rabid dog war metal

Just reissued. Had never heard it before, what an amazing compilation.

willem, Sunday, 27 August 2017 09:54 (six years ago) link

Trance is another favourite. Also bought the Coltrane shanti comp yesterday and am very interested in the Jan Schulte curated compilation - how is it?

Trance is a really impressive and adventurous record, I have a hard time listening to it regularly but it always surprises and moves me whenever I put it on

Oh yeah, early/original Marshall Tucker, before the Caldwell brothers died---Searchin' For A Rainbow and Greatest Hits are cool too (I'd start w GH).
Just listened to the Alice Coltrane collection shown above. So far seems much bluesier (incl. more voices) than I expected, never having heard her before, but goes with the tone and range of Mr. C.'s music, in her own direction---groove sagas along the river, incl. in the desert, with galactic synths swooping overhead.

willem i highly recommend b12's time tourist, the follow up to electro soma, i actually prefer it, to me it's where they really leave their mark on deep techno

brimstead, Sunday, 27 August 2017 22:44 (six years ago) link

Marshall Tucker was a good group. They have got a unique sound with more of a jazz tilt like the Allmans except they have one guy that would play flute or sax. That gave them a more airy sound and bit hard less guitar army, although Toy Caldwell was one of the best guitarists/songwriters of those southern rock groups.

If you like the early B12 and haven't heard early Black Dog or those AI comps, those are good ones to check out too.

earlnash, Sunday, 27 August 2017 23:07 (six years ago) link

^thanks guys! Local record shop said Electro-Soma II will be arriving soon. And apparently a reissue of Time Tourist is/may be in the works!
I have (& deeply love) Black Dog Production's Bytes and the Book of Dogma comp (and even though it's a different beast altogether I love late Black Dog a lot, too). Will look out for the AI comps..

Kinda over-playing this tbh but it's just doing it for me these days

Kubisch's work seems so site specific I can't really imagine listening to recordings divorced from their context.
